Please Let Me Die

Chapter 20- Earthquake!

Taylor’s P.O.V

I woke up and I was in the hospital, this time I could remember everything. My shoulder was aching like crazy so I’m guessing the pain killers were wearing of. I was so tired of this. Why was my life so fucked up? I just don’t understand. Nonetheless I was happy. The fact that Aaron was back just made everything seem like it was all sunshine and rainbows.

Everyone was sleeping and I didn’t want to wake them up so decided to go outside for some air. I sat on the bench outside the hospital and thought about how life was gonna be from now on. Someone came and sat next to me. I looked over to see that it was Raine.

“How are you feeling?” she asked 

“Well it could be worse I could be dead," I answered truthfully “I remembered the point in my life where all I wanted to do was die.”

“Why?”

“I don't know at that time I just felt like there was a huge piece missing from my life.”

“What do you mean?”

“I thought I’m sure that there’s more to my life than this.”

“Then I got landed in a whole load of shit,” I said and forced a laugh

“But it’s better now right?”

“You could say that, I don’t feel like dying but now im thinking if I was dead no-one of this would be happening to anyone, I’m just a curse on everyone’s lives.”

“No you’re not.” Aaron said

 “I should go back inside.” Raine said

“Thank you for listening.” I called after her

She turned around, smiled then left

“How can you say that?”

“Well I am a curse, I just bring sadness to everyone I meet.”

“Are you really saying that?”

He looked at me with sad eyes I couldn’t look at him so I looked down

“Look at me Taylor.”

I raised my head up to meet his eyes

“If I hadn’t of met you where would I be now?I’d still be in that wretched house wasting my life away.You brought light to my life, thank you for saving me.”

He lifted my chin up. Parted his lips and kissed me. At that moment it was like only Aaron and I existed in this world. It felt like it was meant to be, like everything was just right. I loved him so much and no force in the world is strong enough to change how I feel about him.

I changed into jeans and a top. Aaron and I had decided to back to that house. We got there and I was surrounded by white and blue police tape. We ignored it and went inside. We went to the room that we shared. Everything was the same. The smell, the lighting even the placing of the mattress. We lay on the bed hand in hand and talked about how and why our lives were so messed up. 

Kyren’s P.O.V

We all woke up and Taylor was gone. Raine told us that she went somewhere with Aaron

“I’m sorry if I sound a bit rude but isn’t Aaron meant to be dead?”

“No it’s not rude we all share your curiosity I mean we all saw him die,” Hayden answered

“I wonder how he was able to survive a bullet to his heart?” Mrs Hunter asked puzzled

“I can answer that question for you,” A nurse said

“By Aaron you mean Aaron Wright?”

“Yes.”

“Well about a month ago his body was brought into hospital and before we were to put him in the morgue I was the doctors’ orders that we remove the bullet. While were doing that he suddenly started coughing up blood. We were all surprised because we knew for a fact that he was dead but nonetheless we took out the bullet and fixed him up good as new,” she continued “While he was here a man came and said that he was Aaron’s father and asked to take Aaron home. We couldn’t consult Aaron at the time because the trauma caused him slight Retrograde Amnesia.”

“Huh?” we all said in unison

“Ok so what that is, is the loss of pre-existing memories. This type of amnesia first targets the patient's most recent memories. The amount of memories lost depends on the severity of the case.”

We all nodded to show that we understood and she continued

“See he could remember who he was and everything that happened before he met Taylor," she said “So we let the man take Aaron away as he didn’t have any guardians that were identifiable and the fact that he was healthy meant he couldn’t stay in the hospital for much longer.”

“Who was the man that took him away?” Mr Hunter asked

“Um I’m not sure I don’t think he told us his name.”

“What did he look like?”

“He was short and very built and looked a lot like this young man,” she said and pointed at me

“No it can’t be my dad’s in jail,” I said in fear and disbelief

“If what she is saying is true it means your dad is out of jail which means that wherever Taylor and Aaron are they aren’t safe by themselves.”

“Where did they go?” I asked Raine impatiently

“I’m sorry but I don’t know.”

“Calm down,” Mr Hunter said

“How can I your daughter is in potential danger.”

“I know but all we can do right now is look for her and hope and pray that she is in a safe place.”

Taylor’s P.O.V

 Were still in the house still lying down on the mattress hand in hand. It was silent but it wasn’t awkward it was warm and comfortable. Neither of us had anything to say but it was alright. Suddenly the house started to shake uncontrollably we both got up. I tried to maintain my balance and stay on my feet but that didn’t really work and I fell on my ass. Aaron scooped me up and attempted to get out of the house. We got out of the room and the ceiling had started to cave in on top of us. He rushed down the stairs and put me on my feet. He was about to open the door when the whole door frame collapsed and locked us in. We tried to go in through the back but the situation was the same. He grabbed my hand and ran to the living room. He picked up a chair and threw it at the window. It smashed the chair flew into the road (luckily there were no cars passing by at the time). We managed to get out of the house with minor cuts and bruises.

“What just happened?” I said still in disbelief that what just happened actually happened.

“Well it’s an old house it was bound to start falling apart sometime soon.”

We watched as what was left of the house crumbled into a big pile of bricks and wood.

 I stared at the house and wondered why now? I mean I know the house is old and all but it’s been more than a month if it were to fall down it would have done a while back. I thought of the possibility that someone could have done this but then that brings about the question who? I decided to keep my suspicions to myself. I am going to find out who did and if I told Aaron I knew that he would try and stop me so I didn’t breathe a single word to him.

A.N: Hello all an thank you for reading my story. I'm not sure whether I'm going to end it soon or continue on.
