Floating In The Sky

Chapter 33

I've murdered two people. One I wanted to the other I didn't.

You are deadly, words ticking in my mind like a clock reminding me of my crime. I walk the streets of my hometown, despite the fact that the police is looking for me but, I am ready to surrender.

My face was hidden beneath the hoodie protecting me from the harsh world. Darkness, a place which gave me chills, has now taken over me and provides the relief that I need. My fingers fidget in my pockets, hiding and suffering from the guilt of what they did.

I feel like a demon, a person who was destined to be deadly. Destined to die and live unhappily.

I sit at the remote part of a park feeling like an outsider in between the laughter and the joyous faces.

There is no point in this life. A statement I said and defied it as I found hope but now I have gave up. There is really no point.

I know what I have to do now.

I take out my phone from my bag which had been untouched for a past few days. I scroll through my contacts. I have to call one person, but whom? Keeping my decision in my mind, I call Justin.

I look at the sky above me which is now fading from a sky blue colour to pitch black like light extinguishing to darkness.

I wait for him to pick up. Beeps come one after another marking me closer or further away from him.

Just as the last jeep approaches he picks up. "Willow, where are you?" The sincere voice asks me.

"I can't tell you where I am, Justin." I say as a lump builds up in my throat causing me to choke on every word.

"If there's any problem you could tell me." The voice is so innocent.

"I just wanted to say thank you for showing me the world. The places which I only dreamt came infront of me because of you." I took a deep breath as a tear trailed down my cheek giving my the realisation of surrender and that my clock is ticking. "Your enthusiasm was the one keeping me alive especially your eyes which added the extra thrill in things." I smile with another teardrop. "As you said once 'If you want the rainbow you have to deal with the rain'. With you I was so close to the rainbow but the rain which I had to dealt with, is causing me to die everyday."

"Don't do anything stupid." The care in this voice.

"Stupid. The things we did were stupid. I remember those times, clearly. I know you do to. But I also remember this 'Promises are meant to be broken'. You never broke one but I did a few days ago and now I am breaking another one." My vision becomes hazy with all the tears and my body starts to tremble. "You saved me everytime. This time there is no saving, it's just me and mother nature."

"Willow, please." The urge, the want his voice shows.

"I am not doing anything wrong. I am sorry for this is our last talk. I want you to know that I love you and I will be watching you build your own life."

"Willow, don't kill yourself. We will find another way." He understands. He always does.

After a short pause I whisper, "there's no other way." The last tear fell and my time ended. I ended the call and broke the phone into a million of pieces.

I walked on the empty streets, clutching my arms tightly. Fate decided this. I am sorry to all those who are hurt by me.

So deep in my thought, that suddenly the world disappears in darkness. My eyes squint as I find myself on the ground. My hands wet from what I know blood. The voices, murmurs all became numb. The lights flickering became darkness. My mouth moves to say. This is goodbye.
