Bitter End - Gold Souls
“I’m getting you out of here Vi. Baby please stay with me.” Why does he sound so far away?
Conned vision allows me to see Ryder’s face but he’s blurred. I’m being held by strong arms, but they aren’t strong enough to keep me from drifting away.
“Get us to the car. We need to get to the hospital. Now!” He shouts. Moments later tires screech to a halt and I’m being lifted into the back seat onto his lap.
“Baby, don’t leave me.”
I can’t leave you yet.
I changed my mind. I don’t want to go.
“We have so many more days to share. This can’t be it.” I want to say something, anything, so he knows I’m still here with him, but I feel so weak, and all I can manage is to bring my hand to his cheek. If only he knew, our days were already limited.
I’m not ready.
I can’t go.
He won’t get whatever revenge he was seeking if I die right now. I won’t either. I should be using that to will myself to hold on, but the urge to let go is becoming greater. I can feel myself leave my body slowly. My mind is there, but I can’t make my body do what I need it to.
I need to tell him I love him. I need to finish what I started and kill Cap. I reach aimlessly for my clutch which didn’t make it to the car with me.
I need to last just a little longer. I need to love him just a little longer.
Part of my soul is being pulled toward Scarlet. She’s so close, I can almost feel her.
