-Unhealthy Obsession-

.36. The Last Time

Mia

Pain exploded in my torso, making my eyes go wide. My body shook as the pain was crippling. My knees turned into jelly and I sunk down, burning pain punching me with every move.

"Victim shot! Call an ambulance!" one of the officers yelled.

Andrew dropped his gun and watched me in horror. Then, he quickly scrambled to me, cradling my head.

His eyes were wild with fear and regret.

"Mia oh my god, sweetheart, I'm so sorry."

My eyes fluttered and vision got blurry. All I saw was red and blue lights. I put a hand on one of my wounds, my hand getting caked in warm, sticky, blood.

That's supposed to be inside of me, oh my god.

I coughed, making blood crawl up my throat and spill out my mouth. The copper taste filled taste buds, making me cringe.

"Mia, please, oh my god, say something. Baby, I'm s-so sorry...I didn't mean to.I.." he shook me gently but his voice was starting to drown out and become muffled.

Despite being petrified, everything was calm. It was like being in my own bubble.

So this is what death is really like?

"Andrew..." I croaked, almost choking on my blood that gargled in my throat. "Go with them...for me."

He shook his head. "No, you're going to live. Just fight, okay? Keep your eyes open."

I felt pain spill through my torso, burning in unbearable pain as Andrew placed his hands on my wounds to stop the bleeding. It was hard to breathe, I was wheezing. Every breath was like inhaling glass.

My eyes were heavy like trains. I didn't know how much I could fight. I heard muffled sounds all around me. I knew I didn't have long, everything was happening so quickly.

My blurry eyes saw Andrew's face painted with fear, tears running down his cheeks. He constantly moved hair out my eyes and his mouth was trembling...saying.. something. I couldn't hear him anymore. The sound of the helicopter drowned out and the rapid voices were gone. It was just me.

I felt alone.

With that bit of strength I had, I tried pushing Andrew off me. I didn't want him touching me in my last moments. He isn't the last face I wanted to see.

He did unspeakable things to me. This is all because of him. My number one fear was happening right now because of him! I'd never see my parents again, I'd never see Hannah, or Miller, experience new things, see how the world grows. Nothing. I'd be in forever blackness.

This is it. This is fucking it for Amelia Joan Roberts.

I had no memorable last words, I had no inspiring quote, I had nothing to say.

This is what I was afraid of. I was afraid of being
forgotten...just...disappearing form everyone's life. Soon, I'd just be worm food.

Fear shook my body as tears pricked my eyes.

I laid my hand on my stomach, my lip trembling. This baby...I couldn't even have a child. It's going to die with me. It won't be able to live on and do great things. It won't be able to grow and learn from past mistakes.

"I..don't...want to go.." I only felt the vibrations of my voice, I heard nothing. "I-I don't...I don't want to die, p-ple-please." He shook his head, and he was mouthing something. I could only make out 'sorry' and 'please'.

The edges of my world was fading black. No..nonono! Please, I don't want to go!

I was constantly feeling my shirt being soaked, and all my blood gushing out my wounds.

"Mom..." I cried, tears streaming down my cheeks. "Da-" my voice cracked as pain shot through my body. I writhed and wiggled, my body growing cold. I gasped in pain and let my weight fall onto Andrew.

Wait...I couldn't move. Oh my god, I couldn't move anymore!

If I could, I would start bawling right now, but, my body had shut down. I was freezing cold and immobile. This isn't how I thought I'd leave this world. I didn't think it'd be like this.

As my eyes started to draw shut I saw officers peel Andrew off of me and pin him to the ground, another officer coming up by my side.

Please don't forget me...

I looked up into the empty black sky.

Just then, I took my last breath.

Amelia Joan Roberts was gone.
