I'm Sorry I Couldn't Save You

I was walking her to my place when we see a car coming up ahead.

'It's 3 A.M. who's up at this time.'

I look closer and see a white van.

Something felt uneasy.... I hear the tires screech.

It started sliding in our direction, aiming to cut off our path.

I felt my heart sink.

My immediate reaction was to grab her and run.

"Run!"

We sprinted into a field, tumbling down into the tall grass.

'He wouldn't drive off the road would he?'

I hear his motor running hard.

I look back panting.

My eyes widen.

"Jess we need to go faster....." I yell as we stumble to get back on our feet.

"I.... Can't ..." she says in between breathes.

I felt tears coming and my anxiety going crazy.

Fuck!!! Fuck!!!!

We arrive at Stork's Pond.

"Jess.... please don't hate me..."

"W-"

I pushed her in the pond.

I hear her scream as headlights shine bright, blinding me.

I turn around feeling my whole body go numb.

He wasn't going to stop.... my body flew into the water becoming motionless.

Jess's pov

I swim up for breath when I hear something slam.

My heart sank when I realized it was Kyle.

I see him in sinking deeper and deeper.

I cry out.

"KYLE!!!!!"

I swim over to him diving under the water quickly grabbing him by his arm.

I dragged him out of the water onto the muddy shore and laid him on the cold grass.

I see a lot of blood.

"Oh my god... Kyle..."

I put my hand on his face, crying uncontrollably.

He was breathing hard.

"J-Jess...." he forced out.

"I'm here Kyle..."

"R-run...."

"Not without you...." I cried beginning to hyperventilate.

"Please....."

I hear a door close.

I look up seeing Mr. Garrison in gloves, boots, and an all black outfit.

"You were a tricky one to get Jessica.... and now I have to kill Kyle too..." he said in a voice that wasn't like him.

I cried looking at him in shock and horror.

"Why!!!!!" I scream. "Why are you doing this!!!!!!"

"Well... I have a craving for little girls...." he chuckled.

My eyes widen.

"Jess run now!!" Kyle chocked out.

I got up and slowly got my phone out of my pocket setting it on Kyle's hand pushing the emergency call button. I stood in front of his body creating a wall.

"J-Jess...w-what are you doing..." he exclaimed with more worry than confusion.

"Leave him out of this..... I'm the one you want....take me...." I demanded.

"Jess.....please...don't do this.... he's going to kill you....."

I look back at Kyle.

"It's okay Kyle..... what's one little girl like me going to have any effect on anyone. "

"Jess.... please....." he started crying.

"Live for me Kyle....okay?...." I tried to stay calm.

I hear crunching footsteps next to me.

I look over and feel a tight grip on my shoulder, then a numbing pain in my stomach.

I coughed seeing blood land on the snowy grass below.

I look down and see him with a hunters knife in my side. I choked up in tears feeling my hands shaking rapidly.

I hear him laugh and repeatedly stab me over and over. The more he went in and out the slower everything was processing for me.

I fell to the ground on my back holding my stomach. Crying out loud. Time at a stand still.

"NO!!!!!" Kyle began sobbing.

I sat there unable to move.

"Now.... for you Kyle...." he hissed.

My heart sank as my eyes shot open, my head dizzy.

"No get away from me!!!!" he begged

I watch him walk toward Kyle gripping the grass below him trying to get away but only making it inches.

I felt tears come as I forcefully tighten my eyes closed.

My body was made of lead and my head was clouded.

I hear his screams.

I grit my teeth looking over seeing Kyle being dragged toward the water.

"K-Kyle....." I breathed out feeling so weak. I forced my hand out toward him.

I close my eyes tight trying to fight my body.

I couldn't move.

I cried and coughed more blood.

"KYLE!!!!!!!" I got out.

I hear sirens in the distance.

"Fuck the cops!!"

I hear snow crunching fast and a motor start up and disappear into the distance.

I slowly open my eyes seeing it snowing above me.

"J-Jess..." I hear Kyle close by.

"K-Kyle.." I breathed out crying so hard.

I hear shuffling in the snow.

I feel something touch my face.

I hear Kyle grunt, shifting around.

I slowly opened my eyes feeling him tilt my head to look at him.

I see him crying with blood all over his face and body.

"Jess.... I'm so sorry.... I tried so hard to save you...."

I cried out forcing my hand up to hold his hand on my face.

"Kyle..... why did I have to drag you into this.... I didn't want you like this." I whimpered devastated.

"Jess.... I've liked you for so long.... I wanted to talk to you for so long...something about you made me want to be around.... Jess I wanted to be with you.. fall in love with you.... I wanted a future with you... I just wanted....you."

My eyes widen.

"Kyle...."

I see his eyes begin to close.

"Jess.... I wanted to save you...."

I felt tears streaming down my face.

"You did save me..."

I close my eyes feeling my body giving up.

I felt something soft and gentle on my lips.

I kissed back knowing it was him.

I felt his hand drift across mine and then tighten, intertwining our fingers.

I took my final breath as I felt his body go limp. Shortly after I was no more.
