Grey

22.

I felt myself slipping as Greyson pulled me against his body. I felt tired, shocked, scared, and more than anything I felt pain.

I could barely hear the words Greyson was saying. I watched as Amanda ran frantically for the phone to call the police. I saw Greyson's mother who looked tired and worn out from the efforts she had gone to, to ensure her son's future. She was just staring emptily ahead of her.

I looked down at my stomach. There was blood dripping through my fingers. And one thing became clear to me. I was dying.

Greyson was crying and whispering to me. He attempted to apply pressure to my wound pressing his hands down on top of mine.

The pain was excruciating and I screamed out as Greyson pressed his weight on top of it.

"You're going to be okay Daniel. You're going to fucking be okay." Greyson kept repeating over and over again.

"Someone get me a towel!!" Greyson yelled out. Amanda went running searching frantically for the bathroom.

I slipped my fingers from under his and removed my hand from my abdomen and pressed my fingers to his face. There was one thing I needed him to understand if I never saw him again.

"Greyson." I choked out. The scent of blood was everywhere. I could even taste it in my moth.

"Daniel don't speak. Please just save your energy the ambulance is on it's way."

"If I die-"

"You're not dying." Greyson choked out in a sob.

"Okay, but I need you to promise me something."

"Anything."

It took everything in me to say what I needed to say next.

"Promise me you will live. No matter what happens. Never give up on living. Grow old and marry someone who makes you happy. Just promise me you will never give up on life, ever again."

"I don't want to live in a world without you." Greyson said staring me in the eyes. His eyes were dark and filled with tears.

"You have to. I don't care how hard things get. You're not allowed to give up anymore. D-Do you understand me?" I choked out.

Things were beginning to get hazy. I could barely see Greyson's face at this point.

Greyson looked at me and nodded.

"I promise you. I will never give up. Daniel I will promise you the world if you promise me that you're going to make it through this." Greyson said leaning his cheek against my hand.

I stared up into his starry grey eyes one last time before everything went black.

"Have I ever told you that your eyes are beautiful?"

And then the world faded away to nothingness.

I know y'all probably hate me right now. But this isn't over yet so don't cry too much. I love y'all. More to come.
