You lied

Chapter 12: Destiny

And so for the next 10 days I spend it all with claire. I didn't have the courage to tell her the truth so she was unaware of my secret, I did everything I want to do with claire. We have gone on a date. We have gone to the beach, We even pretended to be married for a day. I had some fun with her, she really is amazing, her smile was my salvation. I feel like heaven when she smiles at me. How I wish those times won't end anymore, Every moment is precious to me, those memories will stick to me for the rest of my life. I won't forget her, Claire is just so special to me. I am thankful an angel like her came to my life. I was Damn lucky to have her fall in love for me. The 10 days easily passed. On the 9th day I just spend it with claire in my house, "Hey claire? I just want to say I'm sorry for all the wrong things I've done. Remember always take care of yourself ok? Always bear in mind that I love you so much". I said to her. "Why do you sound like your saying goodbye to me? Don't be like that I don't like it". She replied. "Hey now, Don't worry everything is fine" as I smile at her trying to hide what I really feel. Because I finally made a decision. And so the 10th day came

The following morning I didn't get any text messages from louie, I was worried so I came to his house. I tried ringing the doorbell but he's not answering, so I thought maybe he's still asleep so I came in to his house with the spare key he gave me. As I came inside the house I proceeded to louie's bedroom and there I see him lying, I thought he was still asleep so I tried waking him up. But the moment I touched his face it was already cold. He is not breathing, I panicked and call an ambulance, through all the commotion I saw in his hands a letter. "Claire I'm sorry for this selfish decision, I know right now It may be hard for you to Understand but please don't blame yourself it's not your fault. I had a deal with the devil, that's how you miraculously got revive from the dead and regain your health but in return I need to kill someone precious to me. I couldn't bear the thought of killing another person just for me to be happy, Specially someone precious to me. So instead of killing another person I chose to give my life to him. I'm sorry I didn't have the courage to tell you. I was afraid you won't believe me. It's a shame that I couldn't say Goodbye to you one last time. But always remember I love you and I am truly thankful you came in to my life, that destiny let us meet each other. Now promise me you will be happy ok? I'm really sorry, loving you always louie". Those words struck to me like thunder, Seeing him in his bed peacefully passed away I couldn't say a word, I just Cried and fell to my knees, I know I lied to you When I didn't say I was dying. But why did you have to lie as well? You said everything is fine now, But You lied.
