Worth Nothing

Chapter 1: The END

Chapter 1: The End

Calyx’s Point of View

I’ve been so reckless.

I never knew how much she worth when I still have her beside me.

She’s worth caring, treasuring, cuddling.

And to top it all,

She’s worth loving.

Realizing this now she’s in the edge of life and death,

I’m such an idiot.

I’m running through this endless road holding her in my arms fighting for her life.

Every gasps she makes pierces my heart.

Every heavy breath she let out makes me weak.

But I have to be strong, escape this path and get someone to help us.

Then from a far, a faint light reaches my eyes. Later I knew it was a passing car. I made my greatest effort to scream for help and get the driver’s attention.

I called many times before it bypassed us and made its way through. I felt upset rather than anger.

 It’s odd since I never became that calm in my life, not once in my life.

I continued running again hoping for another car to get to our way.

“Calyx”, a weak voice called.

I looked down and saw her smiling, blood curving from her mouth as well as tears tracing her cheeks.

“It’s useless now. I’m gonna be gone to soon”, she reaches for my face and cupped it.

Her straightforward thought stabbed my heart. It’s so hard to breathe.

“No, Sissy. We’ll gonna get some help, I promise”, I said determined and confident, preventing tears from falling.

“Don’t lose hope. Hold on a little more. We’re close.”

She gasped again but this time; streaks of red fluid rushed from her mouth and stained my filthy clothes.

“Calyx, before I leave, please, let me see you smile”, she pleaded with her cracking voice.

“No. Don’t say that Sissy. You’re not leaving”, I exploded and started crying.

I suddenly felt my joints and muscles fading but still I didn’t ceases to run.

“Stop running now. You need to rest too”, she said and reached for my faces again.

I started to run slowly, bit by bit, until running leads to walking.

I stopped and knelt to the ground with her fragile body on my arms, ready to be broken just a little moment.

“Thank you”, she finally said.

“No don’t leave me. You’ll live right?” I determinably asked waiting for answers that I know she can’t give.

“I’m quite tired, and resting in the arms of someone I love, it’s more of a dream. Thank you very much, Calyx”, she said as she looked deep to my eyes, open hearts and emotions bursting.

She began to cry like I did.

“I love you, Sissy”. I said.

“I love you more” she said pale.

She closes her eyes and her chest stops to move afterwards.

Warm air impede from escaping her nose and the next thing I know,

She’s dead.

“Sissy, stop fooling around now”, I said trying to control myself. Believing on this small hope in my heart that she’s still alive and she was just fooling like she always does.

“Sissy, it’s not funny anymore!” I kept on believing a lie and called out for her once more, but just like how the car passed us earlier, she passed.

“Sissy…” I called her name for the very last time and cried for the fact that she’s not here anymore.

Then, the next thing I know, we’re on an ambulance on our way to the hospital.

Someone who saw us there might have called for one and sent it there.

But it’s all too late. It’s all finished. She’s never coming back
