Never Again

~Prologue~

 

“I’ll always be there for you, don’t fret my love.” He mumbled, gripping my hand. Tears rolled down my shining face, as I desperately held back a sob. 

 

“I love you so much Cas, don’t leave me. We can find a cure, I promise!” I cried out, frantically, wiping my tears off and pulling away from him. Walking to the end of the bed, pacing back and forth, I was shaking my head in denial.

 

“It’s too late, my love, it’s too late. It’s almost my time to go…I can feel it.” He chuckled ruefully. He stopped instantly and coughed violently, his body convulsing and tense. He groaned when he stopped, and fell limp on the bed. I looked at him and whimpered, thinking of all of his dreams that he could no longer achieve.

 

“Cas...just always remember, no matter where you end up, that I love you. Forever and always, only you.” I choked mournfully, going back to him and gripping his hand painfully tight. Crawling ruefully up beside him in the bed, I placed head on his chest. We were supposed to have a life, a family, and had plans after high school, but now none of that was going to happen. 

 

“Rae, I will always love you, but you have to promise me that you’ll move on and have a good life. Please promise me!” he practically begged me. He was beginning to become frantic, and began coughing, covering his mouth with his free hand. When he stopped and pulled his hand away, he wasn’t at all shocked when he saw blood staining his palm. His eyes started glistening with unshed tears. He looked up and stared at the blank wall across from him looking at something, invisible to my eyes and began speaking,“Promise me, please…protect her,” he whimpered, his breathing becoming labored as he looked back down at my tear stained face.

 

“I don’t need protecting.” I whispered, biting back my sobs, leaning up to give him a kiss.  I chose to ignore the fact her was talking to nothing. So I savored our last kiss together, so I could forever remember the feeling of his lips on mine. Once my lips touched his, he kissed back feverishly and mumbled against me,

 

“I will always protect you, dead or alive my love.”
