For us?

"No!" I yell as I see my enemy's sword slice through my best friend's chest. "Callum!" I scream, catching his falling body. "Hey, hey. Stay with me, you're gonna be ok." I whisper, voice cracking. "Please. Please don't leave me." I plead. "I'm sorry." Callum whispers just as the light slowly leaves his eyes. "No." I choke on a sob, tears streaming down my face. "I did this for you.... For us." Your enemy says, looking at you with sadness clear in his eyes. "You did this for me?" You say, voice cracking. "For us?!?!" You yell, standing up facing him. "There is no us! There never has and never will be an us!" You scream, pounding your fists into his chest. "I'm sorry. I truly am, but I had to do this. He was in the way." He speaks, trying to calm you down. "He was the only thing I've ever loved." You say broken as you stare at Callum's unmoving body. "I'll never love someone the way I loved him. I never loved myself as much as I loved him." "I'll teach you." Your enemy says grabbing your face softly to look at him. "I'll teach you to love and I'll love you for the both of us." He whispers looking deep into your eyes. "Ok." You say not caring anymore and just needing someone, even if it is the person who killed your best friend.
