Chapter 21 Promise

Kenny's POV

"Jesus fucking Christ," I complained, laying on the couch. We've been home for about 20 minutes and she went downstairs. I can't blame her. I should have fucking been there. I'm just glad I at least saved her before he . . . no, don't think about that. The house was completely silent. Just me and the sound of my ragged breaths. I decided to check on her. I walked downstairs and my eyes widened. I ran over to her but it was too late. She plunged the knife into her neck. "(NAME!!!!!!)"

Your POV

I feel like I'm floating. Floating endlessly. It's almost enjoyable, but I know any second now, it will come to an end. I'll be dropped back into my bed and Kenny will scold me. My reason was I didn't want to be in this body. When I die, my body is replaced with a new one, a better one. I couldn't stand to be in this body he touched. Oh, there it is. The bright light. It always whispers to me, "Return to Earth. It's not your time and never will be." I close my eyes and when I open them, I'm in bed. I sit up and look at Kenny. He's frowning and he simply asks, "Why?" I whisper, a single tear slips down my face, "I couldn't bear to be in that body any longer." He sighs and nods. "I'll . . . leave you alone." He walks away but I can't handle it any more. The silence is killing me. I grab his hand. "Don't go. Please. Stay with me."

Kenny's POV

She's looking at me with her huge, beautiful (color) eyes. This is too much. I can't resist. I place my hands on her face and press my lips to hers. She hesitates then softly kisses back. She gently buries her soft hands in my hair. She pulls away from lack of oxygen. I sit with her on the bed and she buries her face in my chest. "Never leave me, Kenny," she whispers, "How could I live without you? Promise me!" I kiss her head and whisper, "I promise."
