Just A Dream (Daring X Rosabella) [#EAHWattyAwards2016]

Tell Me There's Hope

"NO!" Daring screamed at the top of his lungs.

Darling had purposefully hit her head on the sink and a pool of blood was surrounding her.

"HELP! SOMEBODY PLEASE!" I screamed as immediate tears started streaming in my eyes. I started heaving to breath, clutching my stomach I slowly melted to the ground putting one hand on the floor so I wouldn't roll over in a mess. "SOMEBODY HELP!" I screamed louder than ever begging for someone to hear me.

Daring was clutching his sister's body rocking her back and forth, "I can't live without you... you've always supported me... god I can't live without you!"

I kept on screaming, eventually it turned into nonsense. I couldn't see, I couldn't breath, I was on the floor begging for help. To help Darling, Apple had crawled into a corner starring off into the distance. Her eyes glazed over and a perfect waterfall of tears staining her face. She was so gorgeous, the red in her face made her cheeks look extremely red. Her bright blue eyes slightly faded to a whitish blue making her eyes look of glass. Her curls were perfectly cascading like the waterfall like tears she had in her eyes, she looked like a porcelain doll that was in the corner of a girl's room.

I could imagine my face, puffy and ugly. My hair was probably a mess since I had been on the floor heaving to breathe and scream.

It's just a terrible dream. Go to sleep. You'll wake up and she'll be fine. She'll be perfectly fine...

Darings POV. Hours later...

I held Rosabella in my arms, staining her beautiful outfit with blood. I would treat a lady with respect, especially when she was sleeping. Since that is my destiny... but lately I've been questioning if it is. I imagined her hugging me, telling me it's going to be ok. Telling me there's hope.

But lately I've been shot down. I haven't come anywhere close to hope. Hope is a mere word that means lies. Lie to yourself, give yourself this false sense of security that everything is going to be ok. Bull! Because you're always going to come on the short end...

I'm messed up. Rosabella doesn't deserve me. She deserves someone like Dexter, someone who will genuinely care about you above their own needs. He loves Raven and he will do anything for her. I loved Rosabella because she gave me security, it was selfish. She was like a drug. Momentarily giving you strength, enough to make you not go through the pain of the real thing.

Rosabella should never be treated like that. She deserves someone who will do anything for her, not someone who uses her as a remedy. Like me.

I told myself to let go of her, let her sleep by herself. But that didn't stop me, like I've stated she's a drug. A thing that gives me false hope. Something I hold on tighter to I'm my needs of desperation.

JUST LET HER GO!

But I can't.

I've fallen to deep.

Way to deep.

I can't let her go.

No matter how much I try.

Letting her go is good for her!

Holding onto her is selfish.

But I can't let go, I'm selfish. I need her. I need that false sense of hope, not that Darling will live. But that Rosabella will be mine.

I need that sense of hope that she can truly love someone like me...

The beast that I am...

That somehow she can fix the messed up person I am.

I'm selfish.

I know.

It killed me every second I held onto her that night... but I didn't let her go...
