We Stitch These Wounds

Chapter 18 - Nothing Left Unsaid

I kept feeling myself slip in and out of consciousness as she beat me worse than she ever had before. She towered over me like she had in all my nightmares. Except with each hit, there was noone to wake me up, and I felt the pain with every connection. I didn't know how long I had been laying there, it felt like forever. My whole body was aching and stinging like it never had before but it drowned out the aching in my chest so I didn't scream, I just let her slowly bruise my body to hide the bruises I'd created on my heart. I could feel it with every blow to my fragile body, this time there would be no end, tonight she had every intention of finishing this here and now, and she would slowly kill me from the outside in.
I knew she was screaming abuse at me, but I couldn't hear over my own thoughts. I couldn't erase Andy's face from my mind, his eyes before he kissed me for the first time, his smile, the smile that made my heart race and my knees weak. I had known him 5 days and he had somehow changed my life. He had made me whole again, in a world where I was alone, with walls built up around me to let no-one in, to let no-one help, he had knocked them down and fixed my heart with a piece of his own, and somehow I had ruined that. A tear escaped my swollen eyes. She picked me up by my shirt collar so her face was in mine, she was a lot stronger now that she was sober for once and I wished I hadn't poured away all the whiskey. She smirked at me, such a sinister smile it sent shivers up my spine.
"That was a lovely little note you left me this afternoon. I believe you used the phrase 'moving on', if that's what you're after my dear, then move on to the afterlife you shall." She threw me down to the floor and I felt a sickeningly warm liquid start to fill my hair. Blood, adding to the pool which I was already laying in. I started to feel light headed and dizzy, but I distinctly heard the smash of glass, and felt her walking over to me. I lay there knowing that I was going to die. I watched as the door flew open and my angel stood, looking pained as he looked between me and my mother. I could see the rain through the open door behind him. His hair was dripping onto his face as he stood for a second longer, before diving across the room into my mother dragging her into the floor. I couldn't see anymore because my head was facing the wrong way but suddenly I saw glass shattering off the wall opposite me, followed by pain as someone gently moved their hand underneath my neck and my knees and I felt myself being lifted up from the warmth. My angel was saving me for the final time.
He carried me outside, I could feel the rain hitting my face washing away some of the blood. I saw Kellin as he came running over to us, but stopped in his tracks when he saw me properly. My angel spoke for the first time.
"Kellin, call an ambulance." Kellin didn't move, "For fucks sake Kellin, ambulance, now!" My angel was choking back tears, I could hear it in his voice. I couldn't die yet. He sat down with me in his arms under a streetlight. I felt so weak and lightheaded, it hurt to move, but I had to see him, I had to tell him. I turned my head slowly to see his blue eyes, pained and scared looking back at me, there was no playful smile on his lips, just sadness covering his face. He stroked my cheek and I felt his arm that was supporting my neck and back tighten around me, it hurt, but I didn't care.
"I'm sorry.." I croaked in a voice that didn't even sound like my own. He shook his head as tears began to fall from his eyes, he knew this was a goodbye just as well as I did.
"No, I'm sorry, you should never have been driven to come here... I should never have hurt you. I couldn't save you, I failed you..." Hearing him say all this broke my heart.
"You did save me, you fixed my heart and brought me back to life. I'd never felt so much for someone like I do for you. In my bag at Kellins is my song journal, I want you to have it, because never has a rebellious, egotistical jackass captured my heart like you have, and even after tonight when I'm gone--"
"Scar..." He interrupted me, but I carried on.
"You will always be my fallen angel who saved me from myself, stole my broken heart and stitched me back together again. My saviour." He pressed his lips to mine and I felt the familiar electricity pulse through my body, he then pulled away, gave me a small smile and hugged me into his chest.
But I wasn't finished saying my goodbyes.
"Get Kellin..." I whispered.
"Kellin!" Andy choked as he shouted. Kellin came running over from by the car putting his phone back in his pocket.
"The ambulance will be here in..." Andy shook his head gently looking down at me. Kellin came and sat down next to us, tears filling his eyes as he took one of my hands in his own and pressed it to his lips. I opened my mouth to speak but he stopped me.
"No don't say it, don't tell me you love me and this is goodbye... I couldn't take hearing you say goodbye peanut because you will never be gone really when you're in every memory I hold closest to my heart, okay? So don't say goodbye, because with us there is no such thing as a goodbye..." I nodded as he leant down to gently kiss my forehead. That's when I felt it, the numbing feeling taking over my body, I looked at Andy who smiled his last smile at me before I closed my eyes to die in his arms, leaving nothing unsaid as I was finally free.
