Chef's kiss

Chapter 37

Y/N's POV

I can't die. I can't. I don't want to.

As my body sank into the bottom of the deep blue sea, all the memories flashed in my mind, playing like an old cassette. And a sharp object hit straight to my heart, stopping me from breathing.

I drown in my fear. Panic, fear, and more panic. My mind is already telling me I'm about to die. Any second, my heart line will go flat. The only thing that keeps my body alive won't beat nor pump blood any time soon.

I'm dying.

"You will fight, okay? Pinky promise?"

As I look up, seeing the light that's almost vanished in my sight, waves of screams of my name are sirens in my ears. Arms trying to pull me up from where I'm slowly sinking.

I'm tired.

There's much more I can do. Much to spend my life with. I have enough time to be with my wife. To watch my kids and ready their hearts when Mama is about to leave. But my body is tired from swimming, my body went through a lot.

"Pinky promise?"

I'm not afraid to die. Death is my twin, they never leave my side. Death is my companion. We will never experience our deaths. Because when death occurs, everything that equates you will be no longer working. It's useless. You are nothing.

But I have them.

They keep me alive. My wonderful kids and my beautiful wife keep me breathing. I can't leave her like this without saying goodbye, without her kiss or hug. I can't leave her yet.

I need to see my kids ready to face the fact that I will leave them soon than expected. I owe Livie a long explanation about her and why mama is like this. My Lily still longing for me. I can't leave them. I don't want to but my body seems like a fragile glass that's slowly breaking into pieces.

Am I dead?

Does my heart stop beating?

"You promised me."

Scarlett's POV

As soon as her body fell onto my arms, her nose are bleeding, and her breathing are swallowed until it stop, and my world crumble. The orbit of the earth stop, I couldn't move. The only thing I could feel is my salty tears running down to my chin.

I heard my eldest calls, the young adults panicking trying to do something or understand what was happening. Olivia came in and check her pulse, trying to revive what was left. The sounds from the surrounding are echoing in my ears up to my head.

"You promised me," I let out, choking on the words my lips left. She promised me. I'm holding tightly to that because I know she won't break any of it. "Babes, come back to me."

My words are almost whispered, I couldn't speak when I just want to cry jn the corner of the room, waiting for her to embrace me, warming and calming me down. All I want and need is her. Only her. I need my Luna.

"D-don't leave me," I cried in pain as I saw Olivia taking her body away from me, putting her down on the floor, and doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation. "Babes-"

"Don't you fucking die on me, Y/N!" Olivia exclaimed, reviving my wife, doing what she knows to bring her back to me. "You told me we're going to do everything to keep you alive. Now better get your ass back in here or I'm going to get all your beloved chips."
