Cowboy ride to the devil's house

lights out

My body falls back and I watch as William hits Austin with a brick.

William grabs me and put shis hand on my chest. Trying to stop the blood. He's sobbing and I'm crying.

"It hurts.." I whisper.

"I know babydoll.. I know." He says.

He lifts me up and my eyes close. I hear him singing to me.

I wake up. I'm in a hospital. My eyes are wide. But then is see. It's not a hospital. It's just a white room. But not even a room because it's endless. There's no source of light besides the white walls. The water on the floor is to my ankles.

I walk this path until I meet a man in a box. His face is hidden and only his arms show.

"Haylee willow." He says. "Such a saint."

"Where am I?" I ask.

"The afterlife deary. Now,you have two options. Go spend time in peace. In my opinion you deserve it." He chuckles. "Or go back into your life before."

I stop. Then I look at my options. I'm not ready to give up.

"Can I go back to the life I had before."

"Of course dear. But why? He treated you so badly." The man asks.

"People have it much worse than I do. So I better be thankful someone loved me that much." I say with a smile. "Can you bring me back?" I ask. He gives a thumbs up. "Thank you kind sir."

"You're welcome my dear. But I fear, I'll be seeing you much sooner than you'd hope." 

And then, I wake up. I'm in the hospital. I see William asleep on a chair.

"Will.." I mutter.

He flinches and sits up. "Haylee!" He says. He hugs me and sobs. I hug him back

I smile.

I'm happy. For once this was a good choice. I even managed to get pregnant.

But even after birth. I'm happy. Except, one day. I walk into the house and I see William. He is holding Amy by the waist. My eyes widen and water.
"After everything.." I say. "God damn it. Why did I ever trust you?" I ask as I turn and grab my car keys. I leave the house and drive.

I get calls from him. Until he gets a call from the police.

"William.. I hate to be the one saying this. But.. Haylee died in a car crash." Samuel tells William over the phone two weeks after the crash.

I'm in the white space again. I see the man and I nod. "I'm ready sir." I say.

He nods. "Dear." He says. "You don't know how long I've waited for you to come have peace at last."

He gets up and a door to the box opens. A tall man with long blonde hair and pretty amber eyes like mine.

"You might not remember me. I'm your twin brother." He says.

My eyes widen.

"You see Haylee. I died at birth. Which meant that I get to watch over your life and help you. I kept William off you for so long. But he got you one day. And I tried to help you get away. Until finally I did. Then, that damned boy Austin hit you with his car."

My eyes widen. ",so that's what happened.." I say. I walk along side my brother.

"Haylee. You belong here with me. If you chose to go back down I can't give you eternal peace again."he says. "Please.. stay with me."

I look up at him and nod. "Of course." I say. "But what about my child?" I ask. My brother flinches and sighs.

"I'm not technically supposed to tell you. But  William takes care of her until she's sixteen.. when she's sixteen he dies and she takes her own life."

I gulp and nod. "Then I can see her." I say.

He nods. "Of course sister. Now come on. Lets go get some rest.."
