We were awoken in the early morning and outside we can here a crowd of people screaming profanities at us for being gay. It was horrifying seeing the people ive considered friends and family turn against you in the span of a day.
Walking into the sunlight shining through the stained windows of the catadral, pinks, purples - blues and greens reflecting of Elliott making her features seem more heavenly than ever despite the hell we're gonna end up in. The bishop and priest looking down at us from the altar as the glasses of poison is sitting prepared facing the crowd of angry people. Being pulled by the head nun of the church as she prays one last time in hopes of giving us forgiveness. Its not possible, it happened so fast between us but I knew what I wanted. I wanted her, thats all I asked for.
We sit at a small table in perfect view of everyone, in the first row I can see my mother screaming as her only daughter is going to be ripped apart from the inside. My father stands disappointed, next to them 2 more people stand with no emotion on their face. Maybe their shocked or maybe they expected it to happen. The bishop begins his prayer as the people grew silent, we slowly lift the cups up to our faces and take a sip.
It burns my throat as I hear my mom cry louder and screams of happiness can be heard around us. My vision started getting foggy around the corners but I continue drinking till the glass is empty. I see Sister Charlotte sitting in the far back next to her wife with their daughter on her lap bouncing her up and down to try and calm her. I see her smiling at me one last time as she mouths the words that shes sorry.
In the very last moments of my life I turn to Elliott and hold her hand tightly in mine as if to say that it will be alright and we have each other. With tears streaming down her face she gives me one last smile as her last breath fades out of existence and only the screams and cries can be heard from the main hall. My breath feels heavy as my chest pulls together. Here we go again, I hear the sound of pain flowing slowly through my veins as my head drops and the world is silent.
I got what I wanted. I found the person to spend all eternity with.
