Once Bitten

Part Six

I grabbed Chris and cried on to his shoulder, "no.. this can't be happening. Chris..." Dad got up with his gun and walked to the room where Mom was. Chris nudged me off of him, "you know you need to get away from me." I kept crying "I can't do this on my own.." I helped him up and led him to the room passing by Bella's room I could see Mom and Dad crying to eachother. My life was falling apart. As soon as I got Chris into bed he made me tie his wrists to the headboard and ankles to the bottom of the bed. I sat beside the bed crying then heard a gunshot go off from the other room. I put my head on my knees and bursted into tears. "Babe." I looked up Chris was covered in sweat looking down at me. "You are going to pull through this. I know you will." "I can't do this without you." "Yes you can." He started to cough. "Mae, I love you." "I love you too, Chris.." I said through broken breaths. I kissed his cheek and he kissed my forehead. I rested my head on his stomache feeling it go up and down with each deep breath he took. Then I felt nothing. His shirt was soaked with my tears and I just fell back to the floor. Chris was dead ..he's really dead. I've never cried this much. I lost him, ..my love. I slowly got to my feet and went to the door. I looked back at him laying there, I couldn't be in here when he comes back. I left the room and found my dad sitting alone on the couch crying I went to him and fell into his arms. He held me tightly and soaked my shoulder while I cried on his chest. "Dad, Chris.. he's.... dead." He held me tighter "so is your mom.. its just us." I heard my bed rattling and groaning noises coming from my room. My cries became louder and I held my hands over my ears. Dad got up and went to my room I heard the gunshot go off and I lost it all.
