loving someone ❁ matty healy and halsey

and when she's leaving your home, she's begging you stay

(Dream)

My eyes sprang open to the sound of someone screaming. It was a piercing scream, full of pain. I ran out of the room, past the ghosts of the girls i used to love and leave, past the demons in my mind, past the devil and God and the angels and the smoke and the fire and then

there was nothing.

I saw Ashley on the ground, crumpled awkwardly in a heap. I ran to her and watched the blood flow out of her heart.

"Matty" she choked out. "I..." she coughed up blood "I love you"
I grabbed her hand but it was too late she was already fading.

I went to stand up, I couldn't watch her go but she choked out "stay" and I fell straight to my knees.
She's losing her words.
I want to step into her skin.
Jump in her bones.

She's going where nobody knows.
My gun still hidden under her petticoat.
