Our New Life {Sequel of : So Close, And Yet So Far Away}

Chapter 10

Diggy POV:

Finally, I pulled into the driveway of our house. Emerald was passed out in the front seat again, but I didn't want to wake her or force her to get up. I understood that this was very difficult for her, so instead, I just pulled the keys out of the car, closed my door, and opened her's on the other side.

Getting ready to pick her up, I grunted. "Here we go," I mumbled, talking to her even though I knew she couldn't hear me.

Finally, I grabbed her limp body, holding her up by her armpits. Emerald was really small, but the fact that she was pregnant made her pretty heavy now.

Finally, I managed to drag her up the porch steps and to our front door. I pulled the keys out of my pocket, smiling. I was so glad to have Emerald home.

When the door was unlocked, I pulled her through, the tips of her toes dragging against the floor as I pulled her to the bedroom.

First, I rolled her over gently, and unzipped her dress. As I did so, I couldn't help but admire her beautiful features.

Who could do something so horrible, to someone so amazing?

I thought, grimacing at the image of Emerald laying against a cold wall, with cut wrists in my head.

I pulled the dress off, and went into my drawer to grab one of my t-shirts. I sat Emerald up, and pulled the shirt over her, and pulled off her heels too. I felt a sick feeling again. Drops of the blood from her wrist were dried onto her heel. I threw them to the floor.

I put her under the blankets, kissing her forehead before leaving the room.

When I went out into the kitchen, I made my way to the living room. Emerald's purse had gone missing so I had to cancel all her cards and shut her phone off. I also called a locksmith to get our locks changed in case Monae had gotten her hands on Emerald's key somehow.

Once that was finished, I also dialed the police, and told them where Monae was, a grin on my face. They told me to come down to the station when Emerald was recovered enough to come with me, and I agreed.

A few hours later, I decided to sit down, and just wrap my head around what had happened.

Emerald POV:

"Where am I?"

I look down to see my hands and feet shackled to the base of a humongous tree.

"What the fu-" I whispered to myself, as I saw a dark figure approaching in the distance. It's Monae, and she has a horrible smile on her face. But somehow, she seems more scary. She's more pale, and her face looks sunk in, as if she hasn't eaten in months.

She continues to walk towards me, her bony hands holding a torch between them.

I yell, and then suddenly she stops in front of the tree.

"Monae, what, why?" I ask, staring into her empty, black eyes.

"You know, you threw me down there. In that room that I had you in."

"Okay."

"Well, did it maybe occur to you that I have problems? That I'm not as strong as you? You've put up with my crazy ass for years. But I'm crazy, because I need help. I don't have people there for me. All I wanted was for you to love me,"

She paused for a moment, as her eyes filled with tears, the thickness and deep red color of blood. My hands shook.

"And now I'm going to let you burst into flames, like you did to my heart."

She threw the torch at the tree, and the whole tree was set aflame

"Monae! Please, don't do this to me!"

She looked at me one last time, with her emotionless eyes.

"Goodbye, Emerald."

I kept screaming and screaming, but she continued walking away, she wouldn't turn around. I began to sweat, and scream even more.

**************************

"Monae!"

Suddenly, I looked around, I was in Diggy and I's room but I couldn't stop screaming and shaking in terror.

Suddenly, Diggy ran into the room. The sight of him running to save me, willing to protect me, made me break down even more, and made me realize what I'd done.

He gently sat next to me, and wrapped his arms around me.

I put my head into the crook of his neck, sobbing.

"I'm such a horrible person. She had nobody, that's why she was so crazy. What have I done? She just needed someone to help her!"

"Shhh, baby, please."

Diggy tried to calm me down.

"I know it may seem like you did the wrong thing right now, but she should have gotten help for whatever she had. It's sad to see that it had to end up this way, but you didn't do the wrong thing."

I gave up, and just let all the life leave my body, putting all my weight on him as I sobbed loudly. I couldn't do it, I couldn't do this. Knowing that someone just needed someone to support them, that they went that crazy looking for somebody, anybody, to love them. And here I was, with Diggy who loved me. I didn't deserve him.

"Do you want me to lay with you?" he asked quietly.

"I-I don't deserve you."

"No, I don't deserve somebody as amazing as you."

He scooted into the bed with me, and let me lay on his chest. A little while later, I fell asleep again without dreaming about anything.
