Flashback.

"And you, Leon, take this woman to be your bride; to keep and to hold till the day you are to the point where you cant bare each other anymore?" said the priest and he looked over to me with a bright wrinkled smile. "I do sir." I said as I looked to Jude into her eyes. She slightly blushed and smiled.

Everything was perfect that first month we were together. Then it was a Wednesday, May the 3rd , at 2:00 p.m... That day, changed  the rest of my life and Jude's.

We were driving from Florida on a rainy day.. And we started arguing in the car.

"Why the fuck did you do that..? Cole was drunk as hell and you know damn right that he wouldn't do that to me." Jude snapped at me. I looked at her with anger and some disbelief that she would say something that crude sounding to me. "Shut the hell up.. You don't fucking know... you don't fucking know because you were asleep. You.. you thought he was Me." I said as tears started to stream down my face. "Leo.. Hun... I didn't know it was Cole I- I- I just didn't know how to react he even sounds like you sometimes, you know?!" She tried to set her hand on my shoulder and I hit her.

She sat still for a moment but she came to realization that she had been hit, by her own love. Jude pushed me and after that was mostly a blur other than me holding her till we hit that large oak tree.. She...her blood....it was almost everywhere.. And there was a branch that went right through her- her stomach. The smell was a faint smell of lavender, she was still there... She had to be. I got out of my side of our old car and pulled Jude out with as much strength as I had. "You cant go.. you cant leave me here by myself... I need you and you- you need me you keep yourself from going insane again.." I said with tears going down my face, the rain making them not visible. Jude smiled and weakly put her hand up to my cheek. To what I thought were her very last words, but I was obviously incorrect, she said, "I love you.. And I will never, ever leave you my darli..." She stopped in the middle of her word... I picked her up and took her to go see Lord Death. "Hopefully he'll bring you back.. he has to." I said before I awoke from my daydream.

"You okay love?.." Jude said as she was pouring me a cup of coffee. I stood up and embraced her in a warm tight hug. "I'm happy that I can see your face everyday for the rest of my life.." I said with a slight sniffle. Jude chuckled and pulled away from me to give me a kiss and hand my book. I waked out our apartment door and waved to my love as she closed the door and did a slight wave back.

"Now where the hell is the color blue coming from?" I said as I walked down the sidewalk. I looked around and engulfed the smell of the color. It was north-west from I was. It was aqua.

About 30 minutes later I was at the harbor It looked as if a gang was drowning someone. Shit.. Not again. I walked casually down the dock where men in the color of different shades of blue stood in a half circle around an edge of the dock. "Hello my fellow blacks, I was wondering if you were interested in some grass for five dollars?.. Deal my dark brothers?" I said as I held up a small bag of dried grass from the side of the road in the lets say leader's face. " 'Ey man, we don't wann' any troubles up in here fo' us, ya kno' my brotha? We jus' wann' some guud weed. Ya kno'?" He said as he pulled a wad of cash out of his back pocket. I took the money and handed him the small bag of lawn grass. What a dumbass.. I thought to myself. He called his 'boys' over to him and he thanked me and walked off. "Now to business..." I said as I clicked my pen and opened my book. A young boy was standing at the edge of the dock with a bandana in his hand flowing in the wind.

"So dis' is it, huh?.." the boy said as he looked over at me with an emotionless face. "Andre Jae Willson, 15, 5'5", and still living with his momma, eh?" I said as I wrote his information in my book. He nodded. "You know that its your time now, right son?" "Yeah.. I just really wanna say a last goodbye to her, that's all..." I smiled and patted him on his shoulder. "I'll stop by your house and tell her that you love her and  you said goodbye. M'kay?" "Thank you mister.."
