ART DUMP!! [2]

Parting words. Part 2

Laura dialed her girlfriend's number, her hands shaking as she entered the number. "Please.. c'mon..Pick up!" She mumbled angrily, trying to steady her breathing. Blood oozed out around her..her blood. The bullet had torn through her chest and legs..she'd been bleeding out, left die by the girl who's family Laura had thought she'd killed. But apparently she was wrong..the two children had survived.

"Hey Laura! How are you?" Carnelian's cheery voice warmed her heart, bringing a small smile to her face. "Hey..Lian. I'm alright, what about your lovely self?" Laura tried her best to keep herself from stuttering, though she pulled her phone away from her mouth as she coughed weakly.

"I'm doing well! Glad you called, I've been missing you. We should hang out soon!" Even just from the way that her beloved spoke..Laura could tell that she was smiling. Subconsciously, she took out the small velvet box she'd been hiding from Lian until she could muster the courage to ask...Now she would never be able to. "I....I don't know when I'll be available next..But it would be good to see you." Laura winced slightly as tears brimmed in her eyes, her voice shaking a little. "I just wanted to tell you..you mean the world to me..." She paused, opening the box to look at the ring which only made her feel more emotional.
"I have to go..I love you so much..goodbye"

And with that, Laura hung up, her eye lids felt heavy. She was tired now. Closing her eyes, she laid her head down, clutching the box which held the engagement ring to her chest. And like that..the life slowly ebbed out of her.
