Imperfect

"Take care sweetheart. We're gonna miss you. And thanks for coming!" Aunt Marilyn said as we were leaving.

"No actually thanks for inviting us ma'am" I hugged her. Tightly. I don't know, just didn't wanted to leave.

"Bye Harmony see you tomorrow!" Chris walked away from us as he blew a flying kiss from his plam towards me. Alec came in between and caught the imaginary kiss before it could reach me.

"Ah babe, did you just forgot that any kind of kiss to Harmony is only allowed from Alce?" Jace said as everyone laughed except for Alec. "Bye to all. Good night fellas" Jace and Chris walked away.

Aunt Marilyn came closer to me and almost whispered in my ears " this isn't the Alec I know from the last year. He is different, in a good way. It's all because of you. I just pray for your safety tomorrow. Now get going sweetie".

I can't believe this. I always think that they did a lot for me and instead they think that I did a lot for them.
God, I'm going to miss them so much!
Not for too long. I just have half a month left.

Mid night...

We reached our house. I got myself changed into my casual dress.

I looked at Alec. He was pretending to be normal from such a long time. He is so damn scared. I know he is thinking about tomorrow. And when I think about him telling me that I'm the only one in his life, I feel so scared. I can't leave him alone either.

He was standing on the exit, smoking. I hugged him from behind.
"Hey, what are you doing. It's a big day tomorrow, go get some sleep" he said. But I didn't move. Instead, my eyes started watering.
He turned around and cupped my cheeks.
"Jeez, I so fucking love you" he whispered.
He drew me closer to him by his eyes. He disposed his face towards me and layed his mouth on mine. His needy sweet lips were on mine.

I bought my fingers up to his face and touched his hot, opening lips with utmost piety.
His mouth was pressed so hard with mine that I felt his front teeth and shared in the alcoholic taste of his saliva.

Suddenly he pushed me gently, breaking the kiss and said "too late for all this Harm, go and have some sleep. And always remember, I love you, I have always did and I'll always do"

If this continues, I won't be able to go back tomorrow. So I nodded and quietly went to bed.

He taught me to live, with the negativity. Even in the harsh times, he taught me to fly. He made me live.
I don't care about anything anymore. I'm going to die, but in these one and a half month, I lived my whole life.

The next day, evening....

We were ready to leave. Finally, it's time to leave this place and Alec.

Alec was too quiet today. He just held my hand as we stepped out. Alec had a gun in this jeans pocket.

While walking through the forest I broke the uncomfortable silence "Alec you will come to visit me in the hospital, wouldn't you? And please bring everyone. I'm gonna miss all of you". I tried smiling.
Alec didn't reply anything. No expression. He just kept walking.
"What's wrong?"  I asked. But again, no reply.

I will be in the hospital for rest of the time I've got to live, because my health issues are going to be even worse with the time.
I atleast expected Alec to give me a positive smile. But I don't know what's wrong with him.
No, I can't doubt on him again. That Alec was a different one who wanted me to get caught. This one is mine. He loves me like hell.
I'm sure something else is the matter.
He is worrying me. He hasn't said a word from the morning.

It was getting darker. The environment was no longer visible. Only the beam of light from our torch was visible.
Alec was  holding my hand as we realised that the clouds started raining.

We were at the forest road when suddenly I heard a voice "oh Alec, you made our work even easier!"

Alec and I turned as he shouted "Bryan! Shaun! What are you guys doing here?!!"
