Chapter 56: Fate Chose This Path

    I hauled myself into the room, with a suit on. "What's the special occasion?" Taylor asked.

"Just scored us two tickets to Ed Sheeran," I said smugly, "Thought we should go together. You know, as friends.." I frowned at the word 'friends', because it was obvious to everyone I was still obsessed with my best friend.

  "Maroon, you didn't have to!" She said, hugging me. "Well, I, you know, your arm and everything. I thought I'd.. you know, brighten up your week, right? So I scored us some tickets and.. well, here I am now," Taylor shook her head, walking towards her closet. "Seriously, you didn't have do, just seeing you is fine."

  "What are best friends for, then?"

  She came out in a blue dress and black heels. "Maybe I should.. change into a t-shirt?" I quickly decided on changing, and sped to my house. I was back in under a minute. "Getting faster, are you?" "Are you kidding? I've been doing it all my life,"

  We finally made it to the concert, and were currently rocking out to Castle On a Hill when suspicious men walked onto the stage. "Maroon, you see them right?" Taylor asked. "Yeah, but what are they doing?" The two men were aiming crossbows at Ed Sheeran. "Holy bats-- Darnit, I did it again, I meant holy Roalstin!" I grabbed Taylors arm, and super sped onto the stage.

  We had managed to back one away, and a arrow flew past us. At least I thought it did. It hit Taylor in the chest, and she fell back n the ground. "Not again.." She murmured before she fell.

  "Hey- are you ok? I'm so sorry that happened, I thought security would handle it," I pulled the arrow out of Taylor's chest.

  "T-tay? I can't loose you!"

  She held my hand. "But you'll have to, Maroon, I won't last much longer." I looked at her, a bit angry. "No! I refuse to let this happen to me again, not again, not like Zip," I took a deep breath. "I'll call the ambulance, Tay, just hold on--" "Maroon, I can't hang in for a few more minutes," She said smiling.

  "No, no.. no, no.." I swear I was going to have a anxiety attack. "Good bye Maroon, I love you,"

  That still didn't help. "NO! Tay hang in there, please!" I said, choking on my tears now. "I l-love you too but, this isn't the end- it can't be!" "Fate chose this path. You'll have to accept it," "Well then screw fate!" I said, looking straight at her. I kissed her, for what I thought was the last time.

  Because hey, lets face it, was not letting myself have a anxiety attack. But I was a ball of sadness, anxiety, anger, and all other emotions.

  My best friend was dead, but I never let death stop me before.
