Hell Beast

I love you too

Liv woke up a day and a half later. I only slept for a half a day, and then woke up and began to look after her. I used our remaining change to buy food from the vending machines. The rest of my time, I just laid in bed with Liv, cuddling her and dosing off every now and then.

Liv wakes up with a jolt, taking a moment to figure out where she is.

"Shh... Baby..." I soothe, helping her to relax back into me.

She lies her head back onto my chest.

"How long was I out?" She asks.
"About a day and a half."

She nods, and kisses my cheek. I gently kiss her forehead, and then temples, and then nose. She smiles, and I smile back.

"How much longer do we have?" She says with a nervous look.
"A few hours. Do you want some food?"
"Yes please."

I get up, and bring Liv the few snacks I saved. She eats them quickly, obviously starving. When she finishes, I pull her out of bed, and wrap my arm around her waist as she stands.

"So, what now?" I ask.
"Dunno."

I turn to face her, and hold both of her hands in mine. I stare into her eyes, and then rock up onto my toes to give her a soft kiss. She giggles and kisses back, placing her hands on the small of my back.

We slowly, but passionately, kiss. It lasts nearly forever, but not near long enough. We break apart, and Liv's hips begin to sway. I sway mine with her, and she gives me a dorky smile.

I place my hand on her shoulder, and hold hers in the other. She places her free hand on my hip. We begin to silently dance, occasionally giggling.

Liv pulls me in, and we sway as she holds me against her chest. I burry my face in her shirt, and she gently rubs my back. I pull away and gently kiss her. She looks down at me, and I see slight sadness in her eyes. I pull her close again.

"It's alright," I say, gently scratching her head.

She sighs, and pulls away and smiles.

"I know," she responds.

She leans down and kisses me, lightly cupping my face. I kiss back, carefully. Liv then pulls away, almost hastily.

"What's wrong?" I ask.
"Nothing." She says, smiling.

I can still see the sadness in her eyes. I pull her back in, and she speaks again.

"You know I love you, right?"
"Yes. Of course."
"And... I would never want to hurt you. I would do anything for you."
"Yes, love."
"Okay."

We stand in silence for a few moments, hold each other. I then feel a sharp pain in my upper back. A warm liquid pours down my back. The edges of my vision begin to grow darker. Liv steps away, and I fall to the ground.

Liv kneels next to me, tears in her eyes.

"I'm... So sorry." She sobs.

I fight to stay alive, but I can't.

"Liv..."

She cries harder.

"I love you," I whisper.

My vision goes black.

"I love you too."
