Alone

The Nightmare

It keeps repeating itself in my mind... It won't stop. I see it every time I close my eyes. It was terrifying. It felt so real, it felt as if it was suppose to happen. She pushed me out of the way... The knife went straight into her heart. I sat on the floor next her bleeding body, crying for help. No one came.. After hours past I just laid down next to her, tears still rolling down my face. Gabby walked in with a few of our other friends. Shelby, Shawn, and Scott. Gabby dropped her purse as she saw Kayla wounded on the floor and me beside her. I sat up as she ran towards us. "Nina, what happened!" She said. "He did this... He did it. He ran. He tried to kill me, she saved me." I choked back a sob. The tears began to feel heavy again. Then I remembered. Gabby practiced witchcraft. She knew a spell that could save someone very close to death, in return of someone else's life. "Gabby, your spell! You could save her!" "No I can't, not without killing someone instead." "Me! Take me! Please I can't let her die." "Nina I can't, I won't! I'm not going to kill you.." I grabbed her by the shoulders, the tears stronger than ever. "Damn it Gabby do it! I will never forgive you if you don't do this! Do it, NOW!" She put me next to her. Next to my dying best friend.. She started chanting something, it was to hard to make out. My eyes began to feel heavy. Kayla's wound began to disappear, until Gabby stopped chanting. "I can't, I can't do this. I won't let you die like this." A tear ran down her face. I sat up light headed and dizzy. "Gabby you need to keep going." "No." "Your so damn selfish! All of you! I was the only one there! I was there for every time she cried, every time she smiled. While the rest of you became to "busy" to be around her, when she did nothing but be there for you! You all abandoned her, I never left her side!" I yelled. I grabbed Gabby. "I will never forgive you. I mean it. DO IT!" I began to cry loudly. "Please, please I can't let her die." I begged. Kayla touched me. Still slightly unconscious. "It's okay... I know what I was doing. I love you Nina. You will always be my other half." She said sounding very weak. The tears wouldn't stop. I looked down at her. "Then don't make me live with out my other half. I can't do this with out you." Kayla's eyes began to close. "Kayla? Kayla? No. No no no no! Kayla please wake. Please don't leave, please!" Scott and Shawn pulled me up and away from her body. I began to scream and cry in protest but they wouldn't let go. Paramedics busted down the door, and began to set up their gear. A few minutes later they began to pick up her body and put it on a gurney. Scott wrapped his arms around me tighter as Shawn let go to help the paramedics. He began to hug me but I wouldn't stop struggling. "No! Let me go!" I said while sobbing. I watched them carry her out and load her into their vehicle. The dream changed. It was me in a hospital room. Her hospital room. I was sitting next to her bed. It looks like I hadn't moved in days. I was holding her hand, staring at the bed. My face had no expression, yet there were still tears running down my face. Gabby walked in with flowers. "Hey, how are you feeling?" She asked me. I didn't respond, but she kept trying. Once she realized I wasn't going to budge, she stopped. She looked at Kayla one more time and then left. A couple days later they took her off of life support. Yet I didn't move. They moved her body, yet I was still staring at the bed, the empty bed. The image faded. Still no movement, still no expression upon my face, tears still rolling down my cheeks. The dream left me with one thing. A feeling. I felt... Alone. So alone it was as if it was the last feeling I would ever feel again. And that I did.
THE END.
