The soft white clouds washed gently over the scarlet painted sky. My eyes locked firmly onto the horizon and the golden globe which slowly fell behind it. The warmth of the suns rays began to fade as the darkness approached.
"We should get going" He whispered more calmly than ever.
"Uh huh" I nodded as I pulled myself to my feet, my eyes watering as I did so.
"What's wrong?" He questioned like he didn't have a clue, like everything was completely fine. Yet we both knew perfectly well that it wasn't.
"What's the point of all this?" I gazed down at the rough soil.
"The point of what?" He titled his head in confusion.
"Sneaking out , watching the sunset , pretending like life is great when it's not, potentially risking our lives"
"To forget about everything wrong with this world , even if that's only possible for a few seconds a day. It reminds me that there's still hope and that when this is all over , everything can be normal again and we can live in peace and safety".
"Hmm" I grunted "I suppose".
"Besides" he grabbed my hand and pulled me in close "my life is perfect when I'm with you, no matter the situation".
I couldn't help but let a smile slip across my pale lips, I felt my cheeks burn rosy red. I hated when he did this, I hated the way he made me feel despite the pain and suffering spread around the world.
He began to lean in.
"We should really get going" I pulled away, instantly regretting it.
"Yeah" he sighed "we should" he released my hand ,placed his in his jean pockets and we began hurrying back home.
"AAHHHHHHH" I screeched as a sharp blade was suddenly thrusted through his torso, I watched as the blood sunk into his white shirt and as the life was drained from his body. I stood frozen. My eyes immediately began to swell with tears.
"No no no!" I kneeled down beside his weak, damaged, fragile body. Heaps of pearl shaped tears rolling down my sensitive cheeks, staining his clothes as they dripped from my chin , my hands covered in his thick red blood. My sight too blurry to see who did it , who killed him mercilessly out in the open?
"remember me" his last words, his last moments alive , his name - Aiden Taylor.
And then...
Just then...
I woke up...
