Keep Holding On - June 15, 2011

She ran down the hill,heart racing,feet pounding against the ground as each step she took brought her closer to the one she never got to love.

She screamed frantically,calling his name,straining to see past the smoke.When finally she found him,crushed under the plane.

"No." She breathed,running towards his limp body,only to be stopped by the police.
"Young Miss,you can't go back there."
"NO,YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!"
"Little Miss orders are orders,and our orders are to not let anyone past this line."
"I DON'T CARE I NEED TO GET TO HIM."

With that she dove under the police tape and fell on her knees as she picked up her lover's limp head.

"You finally made it."He coughed up blood and moaned.
"Why?"
"It had to be done."
"You didn't have to listen to them,now your going to die and it's all because of a stupid bet I made."The tears rolled down her soft cheeks.

He lifted a hand to her face.
"I know,but I did it to protect you."
"but...now...your..gonna'...die" She sobbed and sniffled as thunder boomed over head.
"Why couldn't it be me?" She whispered.

"Hey,don't put it on your self.I got us in this mess."
"But-"
"But nothing.I can't stay much longer,there calling me..."
"NO,I won't let you leave me!"
"Just promise me something."
He grabbed her shirt and pulled her down closer so their lips touched the slightest.

The police came up from behind and took her arms in their hands.

"Keep holding on." And with that,his body went lifeless as she was dragged away, sobbing uncontrollably,watching single ray of light rest around him,when the rest was pouring rain.
