Ban's POV
March 14th
"Today is Elaine's birthday...this is the third birthday that I've spent without her...she would be seventeen today oh yeah ... Elaine is gone, she died of heart failure and the last words I ever said to her was I hate you, I wish I had a better girlfriend..that's what I said before she took her finale breath. I think about her every day, I have nightmares about her every night...thoughts run through my brain...what if I never said that? What if I didn't push her so hard...what if I just said 'its okay babe, I love you no matter what' maybe..just maybe if I said those words instead, Elaine would still be here, I know I say that every year but....yeah" I say before look up struggling to look the lady sitting in front of me in the eye "Ban... it's time to move on from her, it's been three years and I know it isn't easy to let go but...you have to move on from her and find someone else" I nod...but i know I'll never find anyone as good as her. Someone as kind as her, both inside and out. Someone as forgiving as her, never staying mad and always understand...I miss Elaine "okay and that concludes todays session. Thanks for speaking with me today ban" I give a half nod "do me a favor and try to talk to your friends okay?" I'm about to nod again but stop myself "sure.." one lie "I will" two lies "i promise" three lie. She nods and I get up to leave "oh and ban" I turn to her "hm?" I give a simple response. "Please, for Elaine" she gives me a small smile "...okay" I know I wont
Once outside of the therapist office, I pull out a cigarette and light if before taking a small puff. I walk don't the halls of the building towards the exit. 'No smoking' a large sign says near the exit "tsk" I hiss my teeth and take another drag, that's when I spot a small, short boy with short messy blonde hair and emerald green eyes standing in the middle of the hallway just staring at me "I swear he wasn't there before...Right?".He just stares at me with a warm smile on his face, he almost looks like an "angel" I quietly whisper to myself. He's staring directly into my eyes like he can see right through me. "who...?" I whisper to myself once more, I've never seen him before but he looking at me like I do. That's when I see his mouth moving like he's saying something 'Ban' I mimic his mouth movements. How does he know my name? I close my eyes tightly to see if I'm just imagining things and when I open them he's gone "the hell...". I run back over to where he was standing and look around but nothing..."where did he..." I blink a couple of times but nothing. I shake my head and leave the building. I know what I saw.
March 15th
I'm walking down the sidewalk making my way to my part time job. I don't know why they don't just fire me. I arrive at a small fast food restaurant and walk inside "good morning Ban, it's nice to see you today" I look over to see my co worker Jericho, I think she likes me but...I only love elaine. "Morning" I say and walk past her without another word. I go to the back of the store put on my uniform and start my shift. One by one I go up to all of the customers and taking their orders With a fake smile on my face.
After his shift
"Good job today ban" my boss says. I give him a half nod and and walk out the door. I walk out of the restaurant and pull my phone out of my pocket, I press the power button turning it on, the lock screen is a picture of elaine and I... before she died ..I type in the password 1999314, Elaine's birthday. "It's almost nine" I say in a quiet voice before putting the phone back in my pocket and walking home
"Don't worry, you'll be free soon" my eyes quickly dart towards the voice "you" the boy from yesterday was standing just a few feet in from of me. He looks just like last time...like an angel. "Who are you?" He doesn't answer "why are you here" he doesn't answer "what are you" once more he doesn't answer but this time he runs into a alley way. Without thinking I run after him into the alley way a stupid move to make especially at night when no one's around but...i need to know who he is. I run faster in to alley where the boy no, thing, ran but to my surprise he's not there and the alley is completely empty and there no sign of anyone ever being there. "what the actual fuck?..." I mumble to myself. Am I actually going insane because I know for a fact and saw a little ass kid run in here I know for a fact what I saw. I sigh and walk out of the alley to head back to my apartment "I know what I saw"
March 16th
Its morning and I'm home in my apartment going through all the late bills and eviction notices balling them all up and trashing them, I could just throw them on the ground my apartments already a mess..."like my life"
"Don't worry you poor human, I'll set you free soon" my eyes immediately guard up to look for the source of the voice The familiar voice the one I heard twice already. "Who the hell are you?!" He simply stares at me smiling not saying a thing "why are you fucking smiling?!" He smiles "say something!" He smiles. Feed up with this bullshit I stand up but to my surprise he turns around....and walks through the wall. I laugh quietly to myself "oh that's it, I must just be going crazy thats all" i continue to chuckle "just going fucking!" I punch the wall harshly cuasing my knuckles to start bleeding and a dent to be left in the wall like my heart when Elaine left me "insane". I grab at my hair before falling back on the couch and grabbing my beer bottle and chugging it down "I know...what I saw"
March 17th
I wake up in my bed and turn to my side grabbing my phone and turning it on "Elaine... Elaine please forgive me I say to myself while silently crying "I wish I could join you....I wish I could be with you Elaine thats my only wish" I barely Mumble to myself before shutting my eyes tight and just letting the tears silently fall from my eyes rolling down my face onto the bed sheets to soak up more and more of my sadness "if that's your wish" my eyes shoot open and I immediately sit up and turn my head to where the voice came from that's what I saw him the boy that looked almost like an angel with his blonde hair and emerald green eyes. He's sitting on my window which is open "then come make that wish come true, come be with Elaine" I stand up and walk towards him "I finally understand" I say getting closer with each step "you're not.... You're not human are you?" I say now completely in front of the boy and he just gives me this look that says it all while extending his arms out "I understand what you were trying to do this whole time" I embrace him and it feels like I'm holding nothing but warmth "I understand what you are" I let myself fall out of the open window down below of this five-story building "you're a" coming closer to the grounds I see something that I never saw before his smile his beautiful genuine smile and I feel free before hitting the ground and everything fades to black Angel of death
