Chapter 16- Can't end like This

The blood rashes through her clothes and into her and he's hands. Any words couldn't describe the way in which Chase was feeling. The pain and grief was too much to handle and it seemed all to real to be counted as a proper straight up nightmare. Out of a mindless control, he holds in he's arms the girl of he's dreams. In he's head he wouldn't imagine the girl dying , but that's one of the clichés isn't it? The girl never dies. She lies dying there, beginning to be motionless, blood darkening her chest. He stokes her hair tangling his fingers to ran through the knots. He's tears ran simultaneously, yet Maria wiped away his tears, smiling weakly even though death was coming.
" shhhh, don't cry, I'm going to be fine don't worry" she whispers gently. Chase smiles and grips he's hand tighter around hers, wishing he didn't have to do this, but this wasn't a fairy tale, wasn't some kind of movie where the guy gets the girl, oh no this was far worst and for him; well he never gets the things he wants, it was always like that. Always.

Lester and Linda witnesses the tragic event before their eyes and Lester was filled with fear in he's heart, unable to cope with the tragedy before him. He moved away from Linda and slowly made he's way towards the heart broken couple.
" where are you going?" She said, moving away from the wall, her arms going to her sides. Her eyes flaring with anger and frustrations that even she couldn't control.
" I've had enough of your games. I've  had enough of your lies. I've had enough of you and your revenge, I'm done" he storms off and kneels down next to them. Without any words to say she goes and tries to end this, the older man came rushing through, he's hair in a mess and he's eyes blood shot red. He came in without a word coming out of he's mouth, the words lost in he's throat.

He enters madly and he's eye were about to come off their sockets. When he sees Linda standing there in front of him, he sees blood had coated her hands, but when entering further he nearly fell towards the floor.
" NO! Please no" he said but faintly. He was devastated, unable to speak and blood have flooded away from he's face. He goes closer to Chase and Maria but Chase wasn't having it.
" w...w...who are you? What do you want?" He said trembling, bringing  Maria closer without causing too much damage. The older man breathed deeply and smiled weakly as he stared into Chase's eyes.
" I'm her father. I love her as much as you do. I would start again if I could get the chance, but it's too late. Please let me help you" he replied.

At first Chase wasn't sure whether to trust the guy but he looked into her eyes and what she had left was disappearing fast.
" yes" he quickly said
" yes, please help me. Help us"
With this, the older man asked Lester to help Maria. Linda just watched as her father, Chase and ex-lover helped Maria to the nearest bedroom. Linda managed to get a glimpsed of her fathers eyes. He was frightened and fearful but yet anger flooded him as he's eyes met her's and it was like she was not he's own blood. This shattered her heart and it left her in pieces; a thousand pieces. Linda ran from the room crying, her heart hurts to much to stay in the room.

In the spare room, they settled Maria down and placed her gently on the bed. Her groaned but she was fine for now.
" is she going to be fine?" Asked Chase, he's never moving away from hers, and how he's hands still wraps around Maria's and she smiles weakly.
" yes she'll be fine, I take care of her now. But you, you need to go home lad, you are bloody and looking awful..."
" I don't care"
" but seriously, you..."
" NO! I'm staying here, with her. I need her, she's my hope, my comfort zone. Just please..."
" no, go home, you have a family, a life..."
" yeah I get it, just let me say goodbye at least?"
" sure, fine, go ahead" he said as he pulled Lester aside. Chase kneeled down beside her and held her hand.
" I'm always here, I promise. Please don't go now, I need you. I love you. Stay alive"
" stop... Worrying... I'll be... Fine" She said as she tightened the grip on her hand. Both of them smiled and she and Chase soon kissed and it felt like it lasted forever however how much they tried to think it did, it wasn't true and they still cried. They both pressed their heads together and started singing silently. Besides the point that Chase can't sing it didn't stop him from doing so.
"For just us to know
You told me you loved me
So why did you go
Away
Away"

"I love you"

"I don't know how to be something you missed
Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips"

" Never let me go"
" As you Wish"

"How you kissed me when I was in the middle of saying something
There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions"

" I'll love you till the end of the world"
" I'll love you for a thousand years or more"

"Just like our last kiss
Forever the name on my lips
Forever the name on my lips
Just like our last"

" remember me"
" Always"

They ended the song sound fully but with sorrow. They cried till they couldn't any more and it pulled the heartstrings that could not be mended.
" it...it couldn't end like this...it can't end here"
" shhh, it's okay, if fate decides that my times up then let it be, don't worry"
" but... But fate can be.."
" fate can be curl at times but trust me" she says softly, waiting, waiting for him to reply but all he did was smile and she smiles back. Soon everything was slipping from him and he was being pulled away.
" this wasn't how it was suppose to be, not like this"
Chase was being lead away and the last glance he had of her was her face, how her eyes glowed so brightly and the way her hair flowed. He got the last glance at what he would have had if she didn't end like this, that of it would have been him instead...

Lester drove Chase back home, and neither of them spoke throughout the whole journey. Chase refused to clean himself up so the blood stayed on. It was a long night and as Lester drove, Chase looked out of the open window and cried silently. The moonlit night reminded him of the good times and yet the bad times also, for they would end up fighting at the most random of places which would turn into verbal fights at the worst of days, yet they settled things down, they learnt from their mistakes and both he and Maria would make amends.
" yeah, um are you..." Lester stopped and bite his lip, just stopping himself from asking any questions. Chase looked at him and then back to looking outside the window.
" it can't end like this"
The voice in he's head still says this over and over again and it won't let go, won't go away and it wasn't going to stop now. He misses her ever minute and it won't be a happy reunion when walking through those doors, as those it's the last thing he'll ever do.
