Her eyes remain glued to mine for a few moments, her chest expanding. “Goodbye, Jesse.” She shoulders her way past me, and I stumble, hitting the doorframe.
She’s going.No, she can’t leave.“I wanted to tell you,” I bellow, righting myself and staggering after her. “But you had to be your usual difficult self.” I have nothing else to help me, my loyal vodka betraying me. “How can you walk away?” I yell, ricocheting off the walls, unable to find any speed or coordination to chase her down, to stop her. “Ava, baby, please!” I catch my foot on the doorway as I exit the bedroom, slamming into the wall on the landing, taking a picture off the wall as I do. I crash to the floor and try so hard to get back up, but I’m all out of strength. The vodka’s done me over this time. Not helped. Not been my friend. It’s hampered me.
I pathetically crawl to the top of the stairs, my throat clogged, making it impossible to call for her again. “Ava,” I mumble, seeing the door slam.
And she’s gone.
Taken my heart with her.
Now I’m just...
Empty.
“No,” I whisper, rolling to my back. She was meant to be my angel. My redemption. “Come back, Ava.” I beg. “Please, come back.”
I can’t hear her. I can hear nothing.
Except for the beats of my heart slowing down.
Silence.
Darkness.
I close my eyes.
I hope they never open again.
