The Truth Untold

[SPECIAL CHAPTER]
*Isabelle's Pov*

"Don't leave me, please.." I mumbled.

My eyes were closed and I couldn't open them. I was terrified, but I wasn't alone. There was another voice.. one I could easily recognize. They grabbed my hands, softly gracing their thumbs over my knuckles. Wind flew between my strands of hair every now and then, and it sounded like an ambulance was driving in my direction.

But they were so, so far away.

The voice popped up again, distracting me from gym thoughts.

"Of course not, love."

I froze in place, my eyes wanting to stare at their hand. I was confused, but shocked at the same time. Why couldn't I open my eyes?

"Did he just call me.. 'love?'" I thought to myself.

The way he said that word brought me to a place of hurt, regret.. even grief. Even the way he had softly touched my thigh could do the same. I felt my heart sinking immediately at his word. It was a word Kai used to call me one too many times. A word that made my heart melt, that made my stomach flutter. That word meant everything to me. Was I sure it was what he said?

"W-what did you just call me?" I mumbled, still frozen in my position.

I felt his hand slowly fall from mines, away from my presence. They sighed heavily before hesitation to talk again.

"I called you love. Its me Bella.. it's Kai. I missed you.."

Kai. How in the world could it be Kai?

He pulled me into a tight embrace, refusing to let me free. I kicked, turned, pushed, even punched, but he wouldn't let me go. Was this sleep paralysis? No it couldn't be. My eyes were closed shut. It was as if at that moment, he couldn't hear a word coming from me.

"N-no.. you didn't.. st-stop, stop it! You're.. you're dead!"

I pushed him off of me with all my might and felt my feet run off into a room. I stepped foot into the room, my whole body was immediately pushed in and a door closed behind me. I held my head and cried in fear, soon falling to my knees with agony. My knees moved against my chest and I finally opened my eyes, feeling nothing but hurt consuming me.

But then a few moments later, I lifted my head up slowly. My eyes shot open as my head rested against the wooden door. That's when I saw it. When I saw him.

Kai.

He stood there in front of me, smiling the same way he was before that fatal crash. He raised his arms slowly, like if he was trying to welcome me into a hug. One I haven't received in forever. This can't be real can it? I felt my body get up slowly, standing before him and I couldn't help but run into his chest as he embraced my body with his arms.

It was warm, felt a lot like home. The home I dearly loved. Missed. Moved away from. My heart felt complete once more and it all felt so, real. Kai was the only thing keeping me sane in this world. When I lost that, the whole world, galaxy and universe shattered beneath my feet.

"Kai is that r-really you..?" I mumbled, holding him tighter this time.

There wasn't an answer. Only a soft kiss on my forehead as he let me go. He took a foot length step away from me and I stood there confused. But that's when I realized. His figure was slowly fading away to the left of me into white specks of dust. Tears filled in my eyes and everything went blur. My head spun around and pounded at the same time.

"Stop! Stop please!" I cried out in fear, reaching my hand to grab Kai.

Nothing but air. Darkness.
