streets of Seattle
yn
Six Thirty-eight, Saturday December Twentieth Twenty-Sixteen

I pulled his sweater closer around me and shivered against the cold December breeze, I kept my arms pulled tightly around me as I walked and soon enough it was starting to get dark,

(When did that happen?)

I avoided dark alleys and shadowy back streets for the sole reason that I didn't feel entirely safe in Seattle alone, I always had Eli or Max or Callie walking with me. Speak of the devil, I was nearing the neighborhood where Eli lived, and in order to avoid contact with him I ducked away onto a street I didn't necessarily know to well. There was a figure submerged in darkness lighting up a smoke, he looked very inattentive as he flicked open his lighter,

Eli used to smoke, it was always one of my pet peeves,

Eli?

"(y/n)?" He called from the shadows,

(Oh no,)

(Oh no)

 I threw my head down and picked up the pace, hoping he'd forget about it and go back to his smoke but as I was passing by he grabbed me lightly by the arm,
"(y/n)?" He asked,

"Yeah," I sighed, He stepped out of the shadows and put his lighter in his pocket, he was wearing a fancy shirt tucked into black dress pants, the long sleeves rolled and cuffed over his elbows. His eyes were glassy and he smelled of smoke, alcohol reeked from his breath.

"What are you doing out here alone?" He asked, his words slurring together. I quickly noticed he was drunk which wasn't uncommon, I made the assumption he was on a date at a nearby bar with blondie,

"I was just- going for a walk." I said gently.

"I miss you, (y/n), I hate to admit it cause you cheated on me but I miss you and I love you." he slurred, his eyes wide, dangerously close to tears,

"No, you don't." I stated,

"How would you know?" He asked, I tilted my head in the direction of the bar, "Oh, Jayden? She's nothing compared to you, (y/n) look I'm just trying to move on like you but we don't have to- we- we could-" I must have looked uncomfortable because he dropped his hold on me, and sighed as if in defeat. "you-you could come back-"

"I-I really can't Eli."

"Why?" He asked, a little angry but it was only the alcohol giving him an edge. I cared about him, and I hated to see him drunk and upset, and as much as it broke my heart, I was doing what was right for me.

Because sometimes the only way to mend things, is to break them first.

"I- look I don't want to get into it," I pulled at my sleeve, I saw him look down at my hands, and his eyes began to widen as he made their way back up to my face.

"Whos sweater is that!" He cried, angry, but sadly.

"It's-"

"Is it Max's? Fuck him! Fuck him I'll kill him!" He started to walk towards the road but I threw a hand up onto his chest and stopped him, he looked down at me.

"Eli, listen to me." His eyes were glassy and spaced out, "Hey!" I said snapping in front of them, "Listen to me."

"Okay-" he sighed,

"I broke up with you, Eli. I broke up with you and I don't belong to anyone, what Max is to me doesn't concern you, now go back into the bar and be with Jayden," I said sternly, yet softly.

"I-I fucking can't, (y/n) I can't," He whispered, before pushing me gently aside and starting towards the road,

"Eli!" I called after him but he started to jog a little bit, I jogged after him, trying to reach him before he-

before he reached the road-

before he took a step off the curb-

and into the road-

drunken-

stumbling forward-

squinting his eyes as a car approaches-

as a car keeps approaching-

and i'm running to stop whats happening from happening but before I know it it's hitting him and he's flying through the air and landing on the ground with a thud and a Crack! And i'm three steps away from him but the car backs up and drives around him-

two steps, as the car speeds away-

one step as my focus is on him and not on the license plate-

and I'm kneeling down next to him-

and i'm seeing black liquid spilling out of his head and I'm screaming words but I don't know what I'm saying and I'm grabbing him from under his back and pulling him up to me and checking for a pulse and crying and crying-

and he's still bleeding-

and I hear screaming from the streets on either side of me-

and I hear a squealing noise, louder than anything I've ever heard before-

and I'm feeling white heat and flashes of pain throughout my head as a car bumper makes contact-

and i'm falling backwards-

and I'm dying-

and I'm dead.-
