Through The Dark

Chapter 27

Little rant about the song. This is Walking in the Wind by One Direction(or atleast most of them). Very emotional song, even if you don't know the backstory of this song. The pain in the lyrics and the voice of the four guys is... I don't even have a word to describe it. But if you do then, don't worry I will cry with you. I think this song will suit the chapter very much. Do play it when you read the chapter. It helps to...get in the feels of the chapter. Hope you enjoy!!

Emerald's POV:

All around me, the only thing I saw was darkness. I thought that I was dead, but that was until I heard a tiny gasp, from someone whom I immediately recognized. I don't know what happened, but I was both relieved and upset upon hearing him. Relived because I could hear him, but upset because that meant I was still alive. The truth is, I had given up. I didn't want to be in this world anymore. The only two people I was living for, Liam and Nathan, are the only two who will miss me. But after all of this, I think it is only fair that I become a little selfish and think about myself for once.

I could hear Liam's voice and all the things he was talking about. All those memories. The old times, the happy times. Hearing the pain in his voice, it was horrible and it made my decision to waver. Was it really selfish of me to think about myself for once? Should I stay, just to make him happy? What about Nathan? He may find someone else, but Liam will never get another sister. Was it my right to decide whether or not I wanted to live? But before I could think any further, I heard Liam's voice again. This time, his voice held tremendous pain, but the words brought immense relief to me.

"Emmy, if you are listening to me, I want you to know this. I won't mind, I won't be angry at you no matter what you choose. If you choose to...leave all of this behind, then I will support that decision of your. Because I understand if you don't want to stay after all that happened. After all that happened to you, I will understand and respect your decision. And let me tell this to you, this will be yours and only your decision. Only you have rights over this. Not me, not Nathan, only you. Sure I will be sad, but I will never not respect your decision. And if you choose to stay, know this, I will support that decision as well. I will take care of you, and can even convince my parents to adopt you as well. You wouldn't have to worry about him ever finding you. I will make sure that you are safe from him and that he never lays his hand in you again. But other than that, it I honestly what you want. And know this as well, I will love you, no matter what. Forever and Always."

If I could cry, I am sure I would have. Liam is letting me take my decision. I would be able to, for once, take a decision on my own, and not bother about what others will think. For once, I will not bear the brunt of all the decisions that others took for me. For once, I will be able to decide what I want, what I want to do with my life. For once, nobody else will be deciding for me. And that is what mattered for me. Not all those expensive things that people usually expect, just small things like these. To let me take my own decisions, to choose the outcome of life how I want it to be, to be independent and to be free.

And although I love you, I had made my decision, and now I was stone set upon it. But Liam I do have somethings to tell you.

If you are ever missing me, just close your eyes and see through your heart. You will see that I am right beside you, even if you can't see me at times. I know that you will be alright. There will be times when you need me, and in all those times, I will be by your side. If you ever are lost, just look at the sky. You will find me. I love you and nothing will change that. No matter where you are, or where I will be, nothing, absolutely nothing will change that fact.

We had some really good times, when we were younger. All those summer days spent playing and just goofing around the willow tree with mom, all those melted ice creams, all those swims, all those hugs and kisses. Every single one of them will be cherished and remembered. They will all be written down, when the time for our story comes. We wore our hearts on our sleeves, that is for sure. All those giggles and laughs shared, when you would splash water on me, or try to pick me up and end up falling miserably, All those tears we cried together, all those late night chats we had, all those jumps when we were excited and all those screams when we were scared. All of those will be remembered and missed. But they as will go down in our story.

You are more than a brother to me. You are my inspiration, my reason to be alive for so long. And even though you told me that you wouldn't mind if I went, I know that you will hurt. I know that you will be torn apart. I know that you love me as much as I love you, maybe even more. And if you ever miss me, know that you will find me...eventually. In all those places where we have never been. And for what reasons? I don't know. And I don't think we will ever understand those reasons. No, we never will. But I do know one thing. We both have already won a battle. The battle of life. Because you are able to let go of me, and I am able to do freely let go of you. And the fact that we both can so easily say goodbye, it just proves. It just means that we have already won. And even though, you feel like apologizing to me for all the things I have been through, I want to tell you this: the necessity for apologies between us in none. It was not your fault.

I don't know from where I getting all of this new-found courage but I want to utilise it to the very best. People say that goodbyes are hard, but I say that they are bittersweet at least for me. Bitter because it means I will have to be away from my loved ones, no matter how less they are. And sweet because I will finally be free from the one thing which, in the first place, caused me to leave. I can't do much except give assurance, that even though it is a goodbye, it is not the end. I will see your face again. And this is a promise I make to you, Liam.

Although these were all the things I wanted to tell him, I couldn't open my mouth. I could feel his hand in mine and I concentrated very hard to give it a squeeze. One which would be able to convey the message. After some time, I finally was able to do so. Give his hand a gentle squeeze. One which, hopefully, conveyed my message.

Then the light engulfed me and the heart moniter went flatline.

(A/ N) :Hey guys. So this is the 27th chapter. Don't kill me Just yet. I do have a...good ending planned out. So unless you don't want that, don't kill me. So what did you think about Liam's words? What about Em's decision? Was she right in taking that decision? What about her last few...thoughts and words she wanted to say to Liam? Will Nathan be okay? Did the song suit the chapter? Let me know your thoughts.
