"Go!" I yelled at my boyfriend,
"What are we running from?"
My legs raced yet my mind stopped.
A second later I fell.
Crap.
"RUN! RUN! RUN!" I yelled,
"VIRGIL?"
Then I heard it.
Lonely footsteps dragging against the ground.
I gave a sombre, melancholy smile.
"I'm gonna be ok." I smiled as I dragged myself.
The lie escaped from my mouth too quickly. I wasn't sure if I going to be able to stand.
A loud harmony of footsteps flew into my ears.
I heard a muffled scream, like a yell in another room.
And black spots covered my eyes until there was just a tiny spot of sage green.
I let a single tear fall.
Patton's POV
"I made it!" I smiled.
I looked around.
Loneliness.
It shook my heart.
"Virgil?"
My heart seized.
Like a grey cloud over my mind, I slowly realised what happened.
He's been caught.
I felt my heart fall, like I was thrown to the ground.
Tears tore my heart open.
It was at that moment. That damn moment. When I woke up from my fantasy. The truth stabbed me in the heart and out poured all of the lies that I had blinded myself with to protect not only me, but him. The truth would separate us and spoil what we had but what we had wasn't real. What we had was built on lies. Lies like we would stay and protect each other.
He was dead.
Obviously.
