"Have I ever told you how much I love you?" Taika said, causing my face to flush bright red. We were laying on a hill looking out at the sunset. He had set up a picnic for us and we chatted the day away. Ever since we had met a few weeks ago, I always felt flustered around him and we've really bonded, the way he said it. So casually, so full of passion. I couldn't help but look at him.
"Wh-What! This is only our first official date! Isn't this going a bit too fast," I mumbled and he laughed softly at me. I probably look like a tomato! I thought to myself. I brought my hands to my face to try to hide it. Taika just frowned at me.
"Don't hide your face, you look adorable when you blush like that," He said carefully, pulling my hands away from my face, cupping my cheek with his own. I couldn't stop myself from melting into his touch, it made me feel alive and wanting more. I didn't actually think we were going too fast, we weren't going fast enough.
"I love you too Taika. I love you more than anything in the world!,"
"And you said we were going too fast," He chuckled, "God, I can't tell you how much I want to kiss you right now."
"Then do it, my love," I told him and we leaned in to each other. I closed my eyes, my heart thumping loudly in my chest. I couldn't express how much I've been wanting this. Then I feel pin me to the ground
"Hold her down! No matter how hard she struggles, don't let go," A man yelled and my eyes shot open. My two brothers were holding me down as my sister walked towards me. She was holding a pill bottle.
"NO! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME TAKE MY NORMAL PILLS I WON'T LET YOU! TAIKA HELP!" I screamed, twisted, squirmed, and bit but I was too weak. I saw Taika in the corner of my eyes trying to pull one of my brothers off me but he wouldn't budge.
"Taika isn't real. Now take your meds, I'd rather not force them down your throat," She said, unscrewing the bottle. But I knew she was a liar. Taika is real just like our love. She was trying to break us apart.
"TAKE THAT BA-" Then I felt something in my mouth. Instinctively swallowed and then I realized. It was the normal pill. I frantically looked over at Taika and he began to fade away. They killed him. They killed Taika.
"HOW COULD YOU GUYS DO THIS TO ME! TAIKA NOOOO," I felt the normal pills taking over my body and mind. I became drowsy and soon I passed out.
"Good night,"
