i had took a little walk outside of my boyfriend's mother's large home when i first saw a large spark. i thought nothing of it, continuing down the avenue. that's when some bypassers started yelling "call 911!".
i raised an eyebrow and asked a tall, beautiful blue-haired woman what has happened. "that house is burning down! please tell someone to call for help!" i then placed my view towards the direction she was pointing to, and that's when i saw my boyfriend's mother's house burning to ashes. running as fast as my legs could carry me to the flaming house, tears started shooting out of my eyes like daggers.
"aaron! aaron! are you okay?!" i called the ambulance, frantically searching for my love. i felt like my heart dropped to my stomach when i saw him covered in ash and dirt, beneath a firey wooden plank.
once our eyes met, he called out my name. "JAX! HELP ME! PLEASE!" he yelled as loud as he could. i didn't care that everything was on fire. i was going to do anything to save him. i ran through the black substance and smoke, and everything was silent. i grabbed aaron's hand, trying to pull him out from under the burnt wood. "i love you, jax. please never forget it."
"no, NO. i can't live without you, aaron. i can't." i pulled on his arms again, and he finally budged.
"it's going to be okay. take this, jax. all that i ask for is that you never forget me." he handed me something.
"no, no, no... i love you aaron. so, so much." i hugged him close, feeling him take his very last breath.
the medics and firefighters arrived soon after.
everything was all a blur from there and on. i still get flashbacks. i remember voices of the townspeople asking "are you okay?" "where's aaron?" "do you need anything?"
but i stayed silent. nothing was worth answering.
it was like i was paralyzed.
life has never been the same since then.
i haven't left my house in months.
when my boyfriend died, so did i. on the inside, at least.
and once you're dead on the inside, it slowly kills you on the outside too.
i was in love.
and that feeling of love you get in your chest?
you know what that feels like?
fire.
