I cried, I screamed, I begged, but he just didn't listen. I held him in my arms as the life faded from him. He was dying because of me. Because I was too much of a coward to just accept fate. Aiden was my best friend, my other half, and my only hope now. Peter took everything from me and I wouldn't allow that now, not this time. The tears streamed down from my face and dripped down onto the ground. "I've lost everything...and I'm not losing you, not this time." I said in a whisper, my voice trembled. "I'm sorry Aiden! I'm a f*cking coward...I couldn't even save you!" I screamed. I felt the world around me stop. Peter stared at me with a sympathetic gaze. He extended his hand for me to shake. I hesitated, I didn't want to but I knew I had no choice. My eyes gazed at Aiden. I had to. No backing out. I shook his hand. I felt my hand being engulfed in white flames. A circle of white fire had surrounded us. The wind blew in my hair making it messier than it already was. A blinding light came from the circle. He let go of my hand and gestured for me to follow him into the bleak, white, endless abyss. I looked at Aiden one was last time as he laid down on the ground, breathing and alive. I smiled teary eyed. "Goodbye Aiden." ------------------------------------------------- Life isn't always the easiest thing. There will always be mayhem waiting in the corner of life.
