I opened the door before Shaun even stopped the car and jumped out. I didn't want to waste any second, I ran to the house, and straight to the kitchen where I had my charger.

' Turn on, you piece of shit!' I shouted nervously trying to turn on my phone. Shaun stood next to me, rubbing my shoulder.

As soon as my phone was on, I opened Lovelik, and immediately my heart dropped and my eyes filled with tears.

'' you've been quiet for a while...

Can you just send an emoji or something

Anything to let me know you are okay

Please

...

Ok, I'm freaking out!!

You've been gone for too long, so I have to assume the worse

Bennie got you, and it's all my fault

Please tell me I'm wrong

Please tell me I'm not responsible for more blood on my hands

I know you are there! Come on!

If we never talk again... I couldn't live with myself

All I want is to know for sure, but I'm almost out of time

Tomorrow's the day of my execution

Fuck...

It's so weird to see it written out like that

Like I know what the words mean, but it doesn't feel real

...

They asked what I wanted for my last meal this morning

They usually offer a steak, but I asked for some candy instead

If I can't have you with me ...

At least I'll have something sweet

...

Damn! I thought that might work

You always call me out for being cheesy

Please give me a sign ...something

ANYTHING !

Well, I got something for you – one last poem

Here it goes...

At the start nothing left to lose-

Nothing to stop me from trying

At the end, with hands shaking –

I was immersed in a love undying

Now our souls will finally rest in memories

Lost without a trace

And forever will I be free to bask

In the light of your grace

That's all I've got

Goodbye

I answered his message as fast as I could, with tears in my eyes and shaking hands. This can't be goodbye, not like this!

'This can't be happening, Shaun!' I cried 'He is being executed today, we have to do something! I can't let him die!... Maybe I should call the police station make sure that they informed the prison about the DNA ... Shit, he isn't answering! ' I hold my phone with hands shaking.

'I will make a call now' Shaun said, wiping my tears with his hands 'They can't go ahead with execution if there is new evidence.'

'Please answer me ...please be there. Austin god Damit!' I cried

You are all I've got, Austin.Where stories live. Discover now
