Further Than That.

Chapter 6

My legs are burning, sweat dripping from my face.I Gritted teeth ready to give up and stop running but I can't. I need to get the images away from my mind, so I run. I run until my whole body feels numb. Until my tears match with the rain that's pouring down on me. The dark thunderous sky matching how I feel at this point.

My throat burns but that does not stop me from running until I trip on something and fall into the mud but I don't bother standing up from the dirt rather I crawl under a tree, bring my feet to my chest and sob in the rain.

I sob because I couldn't stop him from dying. I sob because I lost him and he's not coming back. I sob because he was suppose to be my forever and yet he's not here. He's not here to hold me tightly. I sob because I can't handle the fact that he's not here. That the love of my life isn't here.

"Why Conor" I wail and release a fit of sobs unable to control my emotions. Unable to keep my emotions locked away again, this is my breaking point.

"why did you succeed at making me feel miserable" I say softly as I carve my hands deeply into the mud underneath me hoping it would help kill the pain I'm feeling at this point.

"why my love, why" squeezing my eyes shut and supporting my head on the tree as I let the rain fall on me.

After a few minutes I hear footsteps come closer but I do not bother to open my eyes and see who it is since it's a park and I'm sure there's a lot of people walking by. I put on a rather blank face but tears still flow down my face luckily it's raining.

"Dawn is that you?" a voice calls softly and I open my eyes to see Dorean standing over me and looking down on me.

"what are you doing here. You are soaking wet" he pulls me up and pulls me to him so I can also be under his umbrella.

Instead of answering I just give him a small smile and stand up.

"come on" he says

"it's okay, I was heading home anyways" I say and start walking away but after 2 steps I'm swept of my feet into a stong embrace and I look into he's green eyes.

"what.. Aree...what the.. Put me down!"

"not going to happen, I'm taking you with me" he says sternly making me shut my mouth immediately.

After a few minutes of him walking and carrying me he pulls out he's keys unlocking he's white Mercedes Benz G63 opening the door to the passenger seat and placing me gently inside he's car and closes the door going to the other side.

He slides in the car and starts it and I look down to my hands on my lap which are muddy and filthy. I'm sure he's disgusted with the way I look.

" you don't need to do this my house is right around the corner I can just walk and I really don't want to mess up your seats and beautiful interior, sorry for the demage that I already caused." I say as my cheeks start to burn of embarrassment.

"My seats don't matter I'll get them fixed and no you do not live just around the corner because you are  on the furthest and darkest side of this town. If I was to leave you here on your own then I'd be the true definition of an ass."

" I didn't even notice and I'll just show them the big bad boys and anyone who tries to hurt me will think twice" I say.

"who are the big bad boys" he says with amusement dripping from his voice.

I flex my biceps for him "Dorean meet the big bad boys, big bad boys meet Dorean." I say and he raises a brow at me and chuckles.

After a few minutes he decides to speak "what's going on Dawn, you were definitely crying" he says and I suck in a breathe and turn my face away from him then look out the window without answering him.
