Chameleon

Chapter 14

Lime's POV
~~~~~
After confessing my life story, I left heart broken as I left without a coat since I wanted to give him space to think.
Now that I'm standing in the cold I realized that I had nowhere to go or anyone to call or even any money or a cell phone.

I decided to ask someone where I was but I decided against it when I saw William running towards my direction .
I sighed in relief when he hugged me.
It suddenly felt warm in his arms.
He hugged me like his life depended on it and I did same.

"Don't do that, ever again" he warned still holding onto me.
I never planned on letting him go or maybe I will but I'll always come back for him when I do.
"Promise me" he sobbed.
I know if I do I'm going to break it soon, so I can only apologize.

"I'm sorry" I sniffed , I don't want to cry, I must be strong but why is it that it comes to him I become weak.

"Promise me,Lime" He cried but that alone sent me off the edge, hearing my name from his lips opened the flood gates.
"Please" he begged still holding on to me.
I didn't want to lie but I have to, even though I know I'm going to break his heart soon, I should at least make him happy now.
I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat .

"I ...promise" with tears wetting his jacket .After we pulled away his coat was wet with my tears and so was my shirt with his.

We both giggled when we looked at our  wet patterns.
" Sorry for that" I blushed pointing at my tear filled pattern on his coat.

He smiled and I couldn't help but smile. His smile is contagious and so are his kisses, his touches and his sandalwood Cologne that drives me crazy.
His house smells like vanilla and he himself of sandalwood, he's everything I wanted in a boyfriend.

~~~~~~~~~
We walked hand in hand back to his luxury penthouse without care for how people would react.
Obviously there were stares but do we care?,no.

We kissed in his Private elevator, which was so hot.

Finally we were in the kitchen climbing the stairs back to the movie room to continue what we started.

We couldn't even sit on different couches I ended up on his lap again.
And his kisses grew deeper.

Suddenly I felt a stab in my heart, I couldn't breathe, everything went black, only distant voices of someone made through my senses and I was back in the dark place I finally escaped from.
This time I saw Lemon, broken in the dark with me.
He's not how I remember, he's not the Lemon I use to know, he's now just a broken soul who wants to disappear but can't unless I allow him to go.
It hurts to let him go but I have to, I have to be selfless once in my life.
But first we need to talk about us, about him and about everything that happened.
Everyone has to pay for hurting him and I'll make them pay even if I die trying.
It breaks my heart to see him like this.

I walked into the darkness closer to him, he didn't even notice my presence.
Not until I tapped him on the shoulder twice.
As soon as he saw me he begged " I'm sorry please let me leave, it hurts"

" Brother, please be strong....for me" l begged, I can't lose him, no I can't.

" I can't, Lime" he cried.
" please let me go" his voice was hoarse.

It hurts me to see him like this.

" If that's what you want then, I let you go...brother" I said as tears wet my face.
I turned around so that I wouldn't see him disappear.

"I love you"
His last words crippled me to my knees as I knelt crying since I knew he was gone but still with me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't know how long I've been in the dark but it does feel like a very long time.

I can feel William and I can feel how sad and hurt he is but I'm not ready to live life alone without my brother.
But I had to let him go.

After the crying and screaming in the dark, it's time to find those who killed my brother.

The light is blinding since I've been in the dark for too long, but where am I, I do not recognize where I am,and my palm feels warm like someone is holding on to me.

I raised my head off the bed only to see William asleep holding my hand.
It's already dark outside , it's night time, so I've only being asleep for a few hours.

I removed the oxygen mask but as soon as I did a beeping sound like an alarm woke William up.

"Hi!" I smiled when he gasped in shock like he had just seen a ghost.

"Lime...i-is it you?" He was a stuttering mess.
He looked different, how can he grow a stubble within hours, or maybe I missed that but how could I when he's always on my mind.

"Yes,William" I smiled with tears falling down my face.
Maybe my brother's death is still fresh.

"why are you crying, babe?" He asked  concerned and worried.

" He's gone" I sobbed when he came in for a comforting hug.
"William..., Lemon is gone" I cried.
Holding him close and firm, like if I don't he would slip away.
