Him & I

Chapter 33

❃ ❃ ❃

Heaven's POV

My clothes are clinging on my body as cold shivers run down my spine. Everything around me is quiet except for my heavy breathing. Where did all this rain come from?

I'm wet from head to toes and the darkness around me gives me the creeps. Suddenly I hear someone walking behind me. I turn my head but my vision is blurred by the rain. I see a tall figure following my steps.

Fear washes over me and I start walking faster. That's the moment I realize, it was a bad idea to go for a walk in the middle of the night. Alone.

Anxiety creeps inside me as I hear their footsteps getting closer. Shit. Should I run? Yes. Before I can get a chance to start running I feel a strong hand wrap around my arm.

I hold my breath and with a quick move, I use all my strength to push them away. The tall man stumbles back and that's my cue to leave. -"Heaven, it's me"- a familiar voice shouts.

I turn around and I'm met with none other than the person I thought was the love of my life. Sadness conquers me and I take a step back. -"What the hell? You scared me"- I raise my voice shocked.

"I'm sorry"- he says. His wet hair has fallen on his forehead and I try to ignore my heart stammering like crazy. -"It's fine"- I sigh. -"How have you been?"- he asks.

"Kyle I can't do this with you. I can't pretend like nothing happened"- I admit. -"Then give me another chance"- he says stepping in front of me. -"I can't"- I whisper. His face is so close to mine, I can feel his hot breath on my cold skin.

"Please! I miss you. I miss us"- he mumbles. His fingers wrap around my wrists gently and he pulls me closer. I shouldn't do this to myself but I can barely stand the situation we're in. It's so hard for me to not kiss him especially when he's this close.

"It's too late now. We can't go back to how we were"- I complain taking a few steps away from him. -"I love you!"- he shouts making me flinch.

His voice cracks and I can't tell if he's crying or if it's just the rain creating an illusion of tears. -"I can't forgive you"- I simply state and turn to walk away. I cross the street and hear him following me.

"Stop following me"- I demand turning around to face him. He stops in the middle of the empty road as I stand on the sidewalk waiting for him to talk again. The dim light coming from the lamb on the sidewalk falls on him so peacefully.

"I miss you"- he mutters as the rain falls on us faster and stronger than before. His eyes hold sadness and it breaks my heart. As I'm about to talk a loud crash is heard making me flinch. Then I realize..

A car sped past him, crashing his body to the ground.

It all happened so quickly. From watching him say those three words while staring into his beautiful brown eyes to watching him fall on the harsh ground and groan in pain.

My heart shatters at the sight of him. The car that hit him didn't stop to help. A hit and run. I try so hard to run and get closer to him but it feels as if he's moving away from me or as if I'm frozen in place.

He lays there staring at me with those eyes of his that hold nothing but pain and fear. -"Please, forgive me"- he whispers as a tear slides down his cheek. Even though it's raining, I can still see that single tear.

There's blood on the road and I panic. The heavy rain falls on us like thousands of needles falling from the sky. His face becomes pale, his eyes become lifeless and I can't do anything but stand there and watch the life drain out of his body.
