In Love With Mr. Doggy (Skillet Fanfic)

Aftermath

Korey's POV

5 years have passed since John died. I've been living with the pain strongly, but deep down inside... it hurts. I wonder when will I learn to accept that he is already gone.

But then, in the end...

I can never learn to.

I stood up and headed to the kitchen. I stood there for a long time. I suddenly remembered what I was going to do.

I need to grab a large knife.

I grabbed my only refuge and went back to our... my bedroom. I sat down the bed and pointed the knife on my smooth sensitive skin close to my wrist.

Recently, I've been cutting. Life without John was hard. Jen and Ben have to work in shifts to a restaurant just downtown. And I need to go to the Church to do some service every morning, then get back at home to watch over the kids.

You see? Skillet is nothing without John. We are just lonely dogs searching for their master.

I jolted from thoughts and focused on cutting my skin again. I promised Xav I will protect them but... I just can't bare to live like this anymore.

I wanted to die... I wanted to die so I could be with John. I wanted the pain to end.

Without thinking about what my children's future is going to be without them having a mother and father, I deeply slashed my wrist.

I didn't feel pain nor sadness. I felt extreme happiness and serenity overwhelmed me.

At last! I could be with John. I don't care if he doesn't love me anymore. All I want is to see him one more time.

I closed my eyes and all I saw was blackness.

...........................................................................

Beep... Beep... Beep...

Huh?

I fluttered my eyes open but I wasn't in heaven nor hell. I was in a... hospital.

But why? Why didn't I die? Who brought me here?

I turned my gaze to Jen and she was sobbing.

"Korey, don't do that again. What about Xav and Alex?"

She's right. I'm acting really selfish by killing myself.

I shrugged and closed my eyes again.

"Do you want the pain to end?"

A famillar voice spoke to me in my dreams.

"What? Who's there?"

"Do you want me to take you high up?"

Wait? This voice... it must be--

"John?! Take me away. Please!"

"Very well, Korey."

After that, a white light blinded me and I was in heaven.

The angels were flapping their wings while welcoming me to the Kingdom. I looked behind me and I have wings too.

John was there standing with Rica. I hugged him tightly and he hugged me too.

An angel whispered to me that two are already married.

I just nodded and smiled. I don't care about that anymore. All I care about John being with me again.

"Hey, ready to go?"

I looked behind me and Rica was flapping her wings while giggling.

"Ummm... why?"

John approached me from behind and said, "She loves playing this game. Well, catch us if you can!"

Rica flew fast and John followed her. I rolled my eyes and laughed. Then I, followed after them.

After I reached them, John connected his hand to mine and to Rica. We flew around for hours while laughing.

Well, here I am. Here I am in the start for new life, friendship, and hope.

Jen's POV

Crud! Korey's monitor had gone straight. How could this happen?

A huge amount of blood poured out her wrist. Alex and Xav were traumatized by the sight.

I shook Korey's little body over and over again but there was no response.

How am I going to raise the kids now?

I cried and shivered and hugged her unconscious body.

The doctor bolted inside and he was shock how bloody the room was. He simply shook his head in disappointment and called the nurse to clean things up.

Well, Korey was dead for 3 years now. I managed to get a solo career as a Christian singer and I raised the kids well.

But I know, deep down inside the Alex's and Xav's hearts are confusion and pain.

A lot have happened since they were kids. How could they live like this? But I'm still surprise they are putting a happy face everyday. If only we demolished that petty love triangle. None of this would've ever happen.

"Hey Jen, I brought us some chocolates. Would you accept them?"

I shifted my head and turned to a teenage Alex who was sitting under a tree.

I ran towards her and lay beside her. I munched the chocolates and smiled.

Still the same old Alex.

*Yawns* Those chocolates made me sleepy.

While Alex was playing with her tablet, I happened to gaze upon the sky.

Before my eyelids close, I saw three angles playing and giggling in the sky.

A thin smile appeared on my lips as I fall to sleep. For I knew, that John, Korey, and Rica are in a better place right now. And I have nothing to worry about for they are watching us.
