Day Without June : a legend fanfic [COMPLETED]

Chapter 14

I punch the wall in frustration.

This didn't just fucking happen. Why is my fucking life so fucked up?

The sticky, red liquid seeps through Eden's hospital gown. Mom and John are completely frozen in shock. Eden's body trembles slightly, and he struggles to breath.

"Eden...come on. Stay with me. Please stay with me," I whisper into his ear. A tear escapes my eyes, trickling down my cheek.

He grabs my hand, and weakly smiles. "I love you, Daniel."

And with that, he closes his eyes, and his body goes limp. There is a little smile on his now lifeless face.

He can't be dead.

I gently shake his shoulder, denying the fact that he died. It can't be true. It just can't be. I have the cure...he just gotta wake up now...

"Eden, wake up...wake up. Eden..." I repeat his name over and over again, hoping he would open his eyes and look at me with his deep blue eyes. "Eden...Eden..."

Tears stream down my face and drop onto Eden. The blood keeps flowing out of his gunshot wound, soaking the gown and the bedsheet. I collapse onto his motionless body, not really knowing how to feel.

He can't be dead. He can't be.

"Eden...wake up..."

I suddenly feel the pain at the back of my neck, and the world spins around me. I feel myself falling down, but a pair of hands catches me just before I hit the ground.

"John...how is he..?"

Wordlessly, he pulls me into a hug. His face is also wet with tears. Mom joins us a second later.

My body shakes violently. I had the same feeling two days ago, when the soldiers intruded my house. 

I had my moment of happiness when I heard him speak. When I came to face-to-face with him for the first time in five years. But as quickly as it came, it drifted away, now filled by anger and devastation.

Only if I can look into his eyes once again. Only if I can hug him once again. Only if I can kiss him on his cheek once again. Only if I can see him giggle once again.

Only if I can tell him that I love him...once again.

Just...once again. I'll do anything to make these happen...once again.

The three of us cry into each other's chest, not knowing what to do. Why should I go on further now?  I can't change anything no matter how hard I try. Eden's dead now, and who's gonna be the next? Mom? John? Tess?

I should've never escaped the morgue of the Los Angeles Central Hospital. I should've stayed there and waited for my death to arrive. Everything would've been normal, then. The world would've moved on without me.

I created this damn mess. And I can't clean it up.

A/N

I'm sorry I killed Eden. I'm really really sorry I killed Eden. Please don't hate me and ditch this story away.

I'm seriously sorry that I killed Eden...but at least he met Day again before he died...if that makes you feel better.
