As I drove recklessly down the road, memories from earlier began to run down my head.
-
I was in the music room, trying to find the right melody for Lea and I's song- our song.
My fingers touches the keys as I play the melody.
"Let's finally make memories worth remembering,
we've lived for almost two decades yet not once have we felt alive.."
A voice continues the song, " the exhilarating sensation of flying.."
I turn around to see Azalea, "you and I could be limitless."
I end the song. She smiles, "So Mr. Behlendork-" she walks towards me, sits on my lap,and puts her arm around my neck.
"- is this where you've been all after school? I'm surprised I didn't check here first."
I smile at her, "anything for you."
She leans in and gives me a kiss on the forehead, "I love you. A lot. Please don't ever forget that."
She burries her head within my chest as I rub her back," Why would I forget? I will never."
She gives a small laugh, "Good." She checks the time on her watch with a worried face.
"Lea, you okay?" I ask. She straightens her face, giving me a small smile,
"Uh- yes. Everything is fine. I'm just running a little late on something. I have to go now."
She gives me a peck on the cheek,"I'll text you later. I love you."
She quickly walks out of the room, leaving me and the piano.
_
I start driving to all the places Lea and I spent together.
The park-nothing. The secret part of a cliff we found where we have a view the whole city- nothing.
The beach cave-nothing. She was no where.
There was only one spot left to look for. The lake where I met Azalea.
I parked the car in the lot and began searching. I flickered on a flashlight for light in the dark night.
"Lea? Lea! Lea where are you?"
And that was when I heard it. A gunshot.
I passed all the bushes to see a girl on the ground with a shadow figure next to her.
The shadow begins to run away.
I ran towards the girl- soon making out the person- Azalea.
"Lea!" I softly hold her face in my hand, "Lea, everything is going to be alright okay. You're going to be fine."
I feel something wet on my hand- blood.
Her head was shot.
"W-Will, is that you?" she faintly asks.
"Lea, don't talk okay, the paramedics are coming.
"I-I love you." She then closes her eyes.
"No, no Azalea stay with me. Stay with me!"
I hear the sirens coming closer.
I feel her breathing.
"Lea, they're here, stay with me," I whisper. "You're going to be fine."
- hours later -
After hours and hours of waiting the waiting room, through the operation room to the recovery- I walk into her room.
I knock slightly on the open door.
I see Azalea looking outside of the window.
"Lea?"
She turns around with a confused face.
"Uhm- I'm sorry, but who are you?"
