Death with a kiss

Adrian

The first time I... took a soul, was when I was 15. Just 15! Such a young age to have your life fall apart don't you think? I thought so... Anyways... my victim? Adrian Holt. He was 16 and I swear to you he was the most cutest shyest thing ever! He was always so quiet, always probably just trying to put all his deep intellectual thoughts in order. I don't know.. he was just not there all the time. I think he was somewhere better..

I guess it doesn't matter now though...

*Flashback*

Adrian put his fingers through his golden hair once more, looking more indecisive than ever. He was so adorable when he acted all shy! I giggled a bit and waited for him to speak. When he said nothing I decided I should try to make him feel more comfortable. Whatever he's been wanting to say he's been wanting to say it for a long time now but I guess he wasn't comfortable enough with me to actually do so. This was the third time we've tried this. First he'd be like, "I.. need to tell you something Kim..", then I'd sit there for like half an hour watching him trying to put his thoughts into words, and after a while I'd just want to get rid of the akward silence and I'd crack a joke or something to lighten the mood. Afterwards it'd be like nothing ever even happened. Not this time though, Adrian Holt had something on his mind and I needed to hear it. Anyways, back to making him feel comfortable... haha well, I guess I'll try....

"Adrian, you know you can tell me anything right. I'll love you no matter what." I said standing up and walking towards him to put my hand on his shoulder with reassurement. He looked up at me only to look back down quickly as he blushed bright pink. Didn't I tell you? He's just adorable! I swear if I believed in angels I'd say he's pretty good at hiding his wings!

"Adrian, you can trust me." I said, now resting my head on his shoulder and hugging him from the side. I closed my eyes for just a second, feeling the warmth of his shoulder under my cheek. And then suddenly I felt his arms wrapping tightly around my waist, with such need. I hugged him back letting him know that whatever was wrong would be ok.

For a while we stood like that his head resting on my shoulder and mine on his. But then he lifted his head ever so slowly and letting go just as.. softly, he brought his hands to my face. Then he started.. caressing my face. And his hands were so soft! The hands of an angel. I closed my eyes for a while just feeling the caress of his hands as he seemed to trace over every curve, every line on my face. I wasn't sure what was happening but I.. liked it. It felt right.

And then just as sudden as the hug from before, I felt.. two lips against mine? He was kissing me! And I was kissing back! It was like sweet honey, like the flowers blooming in the spring. It was so beautiful, an explosion of color, it was like all the good feelings I've ever had put into one kiss. It was powerful, bigger than life.

I was there, grasping as much of this feeling as possible. When suddenly it hit me. What hit me? I don't know. But it literally felt like something hit me. Hit me in the chest, the heart. It was like a train had come out of nowhere and crashed into my heart. I felt my heart explode, literally. The pain was unbearable, I thought I was dying. As soon as the pain started though, it ended. That sharp, dreadful pain was finally gone, but it left me grasping for air and trying not to choke on tears that I didn't know were there.  I fell to the ground trying hard to breathe, I was on my knees, my fingers digging into the carpet with desperation. What had just happened?

After a while I started to regain my ability to breathe. What had happened to Adrain though? I looked around for him and found him nearby on the floor. I crawled to him, every part of my body shaking from what had just happened. When I finally got to him I saw that he was blue, blue and cold, as if the life had been completely sucked out of him. And his eyes... his eyes were completely black.. Did I do this? What.. what have I done? I'm a monster.. My angel, he was gone. My angel was gone.

*End of flashback*     

Now I guess I just have to go on with life.. without my angel...
