The Skin I'm In (Urban Fiction)

Chapter 11: Part 2

(Unknown)

Here I am lying on this floor, fighting for my life

This is not what I asked for, I know for sure I'm going to die

I feel the last of my blood seeping from my body, I'm going in and out of concious

I hear my name being called, but I can't seem to answer

This is it, my last breath I'm taking, Here goes nothing...

(Kalifa)

I lost the last person I know that was going to protect me

I'm laying on this bed, slowly dying on the inside, screaming for my first love

"VE'QUELL! VE'QUELL! PLEASE WAKE UP!" I watched as he took his last breath,

Why did we ever have to bump into one another? I always screw things up!

I heard sirens getting close knowing they were coming for us

I no longer care about my life, this is what I asked for,

I need Ve'Quell to be ok, I need him to live for us

Why him and not the one I hate the most?

He's breathing while my love is resting in peace

I feel myself, fading away, the pain is now being erased

Maybe Ve'Quell and I can live happily ever after in the after life...

(A Month Later)

(Kalifa)

I was sitting up in the hospital bed, finally fully recovered

I begin to think about everything that happened in the past couple of months,

I can't believe that I lost the one person I've ever loved since my mother died,

Ve'Quell meant so much to me, and I let him die,

Why couldn't James take Ve'Quell's place?

I know he's looking down on me, smiling that beautiful smile, Caressing my face

Why?

Love can make you do some crazy things, whether good or bad

I wanted to love her the right way, why did I have to go?

Maybe I can make it up to her, have her forgiveness

I'm sorry Kalifa, I left too soon, but I'm here now

Can I love you again? Can we start this over?

I watch as she sits in her bed, looking helpless

I watch as her thoughts flash across her face, I want to go near her but I know it's not the right time

Maybe she'll forgive me, maybe she won't

I don't think I can hold too much longer...
