I feel the tight grip of the two guards hands on my arms. I stop struggling for a second, and look up at the glass tube. A female soldier closes the door. Kenzie stands there, staring at me. "Kenzie!" I yell. I hear sobs of close friends around me. Blue liquid starts to fill the tube. "No! Stop! Please don't! Please!" I holler. But no body listens. "I'll kill you, Ava! You'll die with her!" I don't know where it came from, but it scratches my throat when the words release. The two soldiers knock me down to my knees. She closes her eyes as the liquid starts to lift her up. The heart monitor beats faster as it fills to the top. Then it stops. "Kenzie, no!" Chaos floods my ears as screams and wails shoot up from the crowd. Guards come out of nowhere, pushing people for the stairwell exit. Tears flood down my face, and I can't feel my feet. I drop down, but the guards keep me up. Ava approaches, and says something to them. I don't hear it. "I'll kill you!" I try to grab her throat, but it's no use. They drag me away. But not to the stairwell with the others. Where are they taking me? "Let me go!"
"She's dead," one of them snaps at me. "Do as we say, or you'll die too."
The words hit me like a flying stone. She's...dead...
I try to imagine what comes next. My life without her. I can't. I can't do it! "Please. Kill me." I look up at the guard. He presses Below Ground Level on the elevator, and doesn't even look at me. I grit my teeth as I close my eyes. I've felt this pain once before.
Please, Tommy. Please.
I remember it like it was yesterday. This pain is far worse. I was the one being lost. Seeing it from this side...I would have never given Tommy the note. Thing is, I still haven't apologized. My heart stings as if one hundred needles are slowly being pressed into it. Physically. I can actually feel it. The tears flow even more. Is this how Tommy felt?
Is this how she felt?
"Why would she leave me?" I didn't mean to say it outloud. But I did. My lip uncontrollably quivers at the thought of her face. Her touch. Her smile. Her kiss. I know why she didn't kiss me. It would hurt too badly.
But I can't imagine hurting more.
