Burned Intentions

Rapturous Passion

She felt so fragile, as though her entire body could break at any point and time. Cradling her in my arms I move to the chair in the corner of the room, by the window. I place her down and sit by her feet, holding them. She looks at me and her face is stained with tears. Like her entire body is broken. I place my hand on her face and her tear falls into my palm. I feel like my entire body is crumbling, her sadness is one I don't take lightly to. She pulls her legs off of me and gets on her knees on the couch. She crawls towards me and stops infront of my face. She sits down on her legs and places her hands on either side of my face and trails every feature. Her hands trail down to my chest and she places both her hands where my heart is. She closes her eyes and stays like that. Just feeling my heartbeat. She opens her eyes with a puddle of tears caught in them waiting to be let out. She slides down and places her head on my chest and just holds me. Her shoulders slump and she starts shaking. I pull her closer to me and a whimper escapes her lips. She gets ontop of me and puts her arms around my neck and pulls me in for a hug. I embrace her.

Skylar what's wrong, don't you like it here? I could plan an escape route for you if you'd like. I chuckle.

She cries even more and pulls away from our hug and places her hands on my face again and trails my lips. Her eyes bloodshot from all her crying. I move her hands off of my face and place her down next to me and put my hands on her face.

Skylie talk to me. I whisper to her.

She looks down as more tears flow down her face.

I hate that this isn't real, that you're not real anymore. Just a figment of my imagination. I hate that you're dead and our last goodbye was when Jaydon was - her voice breaks and she looks down trying to calm herself. She takes a deep breath. I hate that I have to live without you. She whispers.

I frown at her. What does she- oh.

I'm dead. I mutter.

She holds her chest as if at any moment her body is going to shut down. Her face looks so pained. She nods her head. She gets off the couch and tries to walk to the bed, but her legs give in. She hunches over, clutching her chest and let's out the loudest scream and carries on crying. I rush over to her and hold her.

Why do you have to be dead! Why can't you be here, with me! She shouts even more.

The doctor rushes in and looks her then at me.

What have you done to my patient? He steps between Skylar and I and helps her to her feet and places her down on the bed.

He's dead. He's dead. She mutters and scrunches up into a ball.

The doctor walks up to me and places his hand on my shoulder.

I'm sorry sir, but I'm going to have to ask you to leave. He says.

No, I'm not leaving her. She needs me. I say sternly.

He grimaces and walks out.
I look at the closed door and walk up to Skylar.

I'll be back ok. I kiss her forehead and brush her hair backwards. I love you.

She whimpers. Don't leave me here. Please.

Skylar -

Guards barge in through the door and grab me.

Hey! Hey! I'm leaving dammit! I shove them and turn to the door.

Jesse... She whispers.

I turn around and look at her.

I love you. She whispers.
