Stay With Me.... Please?

Stay With Me..... Please? Part 2

Riker's POV:

"Stay with me.... Please...." I sob, I look up at her pale, beautiful face. She looks so peaceful, she never looks peaceful any more...

Not since the hate started piling in. I notice a folded piece of paper on the nightstand, I pick it up out of curiosity. I start reading it, then I realize its Kylie's suicide note...

"Oh Kylie.... You were ready to die, weren't you?" I ask, looking up at her, she doesn't answer me. I read down until I see my name:

Last, but not least.... Riker,

Oh Riker.... Where do I start? Well first off, I'm sorry... I broke our promise... "Never leave me... No matter what." Remember?

I'm sorry for breaking my promise.... I wanted to say.... I love you.... And I'll miss you..... I can't say much else..... I'd rather tell you, but I can't....

Tears fall down my cheeks, real, thick, warm tears. "What were you gonna tell me?!?!" I yell, crying into my hands.

Ellington rushes back in, "What's your problem Riker?!?!" Ellington yells, grabbing my shoulder and turning me around. "I'm in love with your sister.... And she might die!" I blurt out, then I start crying again.

His face softens, and he hugs me. "It's gonna be okay Riker.... She's gonna be okay." He says, rubbing my back gently. I finally stop crying, and I turn around. "You really think so?" I ask, looking down at the woman I love, still lying peacefully.

"Yes. Let's go, visiting hours are ending..." He replies, walking towards the door. "Can I have one more minute?" I ask, he nods and leaves. I turn back to Kylie, and take a deep breath. I lean down and kiss her gently on the lips, and then pull away. "I love you." I whisper, barely audible. I turn to walk away, but I hesitate at the doorway. "I love you too...." I hear her whisper, I whip around and run to her bed. I see her barely open eyes close, and her heart monitor slows. The line goes flat, and a loud and continuous 'beep' comes from the machine. "I need a doctor! She's dying!" I scream, tears spill over again.

*an hour later*

Kylie Ratliff died at age 20, at exactly 11:59 PM, one minute before her 21st birthday. The love of my life was snatched away from me, but at least I know.... She loved me back.

The end.
