LETTERS TO YOUR GRAVE

CHAPTER 13

[UNEDITED]

"Hey there. My name's Raidyn Skye. It's a pleasure to finally talk to you."

He introduced himself as he sat in front of the gravestone.

"Kaz...I promise, I'll do everything I can to take care of Emaya."

It was early in the morning, when Raidyn decided to go out for a walk because he didn't feel like sleeping anymore.

As he walked around, his feet unconsciously led him to the graveyard. He'd been thinking about it.
About talking to Kaz.

"I've never met you. I never got to experience your presence or know you and be friends with you. Though, from all the stories that they have shared with me.. you sound like a really amazing person.

I don't know why you did what you did, but it's okay, you know? It's okay to want to stay away from a world that's so fucked up sometimes. It's okay to give yourself a break from all the bullshit you must've faced...but..I wish you did it without hurting the ones you left behind.

Why? Why did you leave everyone else behind?

You wanted to end your pain by causing the people who love you more pain?

I wish that I could've met you before you...you took your own life..Kaz. I wish I could've shown you that even if your world was not filled with simple bright colours, it was still filled with the darker shades and they're still colours that paint your life, even when life looks like it turned completely black.

I'm sorry. That's all my perspective. You must have had your reasons... I'm sorry for whatever you had to go through. Like Ronan said, I hope you're happy, wherever you are now.

I'll do my best to help them. I can't fix them, but I can do my best to be there for them, to help them heal from the pain. I can't be you.. I can't be Kaz. But I'll be there for them as Raidyn. I'll be there for them as a friend and hopefully as a lover to Emaya.

I hope you're okay with that." He finished with a smile, as the sun rose in the horizon.

EMAYA'S P.O.V

Raidyn and I were sitting on the school's terrace yet again, the both of us doing absolutely nothing.

Classes don't start until another half an hour either.

I looked at Raidyn and there he was just looking at the sky with a small smile.

"You don't have morning practice Skye?" I asked.

"Nahhh. Ronan said and I quote, "I don't feel like smelling your stinking selves today morning, so,  we're gonna practice later. Now shoo, my fellow volleyball brethrens." Don't ask, he was just being a moron. I'm pretty sure he went to hangout with Sakura instead." I replied.

"Why did I even ask?"

"Yeah, you shouldn't have."

I closed my eyes and got lost in my thoughts.

"I know that look on your face baby. What's going on in that pretty head of yours?" He questioned.

I sighed. "Nothing...just thinking."

He hummed. "You got a question don't you? Hit me with it."

I opened my eyes and looked at him, "Someday, I wanna be with you. I really do. But, why me Raidyn? Why love a sad and broken me? It literally feels like some cliché story. Something too good to be true."
