I feel my feet fall from the ground before I can change my mind. Even as I'm drifting away from Clay I start to regret leaving. I know staying in that room would have hurt me, but maybe I just jumped to conclusions...maybe he wasn't with that lady really. I know I'm lying to myself,
"I told you not to come searching for me" Gabe says before I can open my eyes,
"I wanted to say...oh my crap!" I scream when I stare around me. We're high up in the air...on a huge cliff. Below me I can see clouds drifting around us. I scream and scramble backwards onto soft lush grass,
"Where are we!" I gasp and stare at him. Gabe is standing in a blaze of sunlight. His white hair looks golden in the shine, his blue eyes pure and deep,
"Heaven" He says softly and steps away from the edge,
"Funny" I mutter and stare around me. There are tall thick trees surrounding the cliff, purple ripe flowers along the green leaves. A soft stream splashes in the quiet air. It sure does look like heaven though,
"So what happened? What did you see?" He asks softly,
"I don't understand..."
"Was he taking drugs? Self harming? Sleeping with someone...ah the last one?" Gabe nods,
"Clay loves me" I snap and the boy nods. He's wearing a worn white top that use to have a logo but the words are faded now. A simple pair of black jeans hang smoothly on his hips,
"I'm sure he does...." Gabe nods, "But you're not there anymore"
"I am" I mutter, "He just doesn't know it" I stare at the boy and then turn my gaze from his blue eyes,
"Come on....let's go somewhere..." He smiles softly changing the subject,
"Where?" I frown,
"Anywhere...we can go anywhere you like Scarlett. The world has no rules for us anymore!"
"Hollywood?" I laugh, "I've always wanted to go there" I'm joking but Gabe holds out his hand,
"Let's go..." He says,
"Seriously?" I gasp,
"Seriously" Gabe grins with a chuckle. I hesitated before taking his hand, "Ah come on...I don't bite!"
"You sure?" I say with a smile and grab his hand. Clay will be ok with out me for a moment...I deserve some fun don't I? Because I'm dead...I deserve to live a bit right?
