Xiao & Aether angst

Continuing of last chapter~

My body feels heavy, as my head is rested on the wheel. Your face in the other car, my heart begins to ache. Xiao, I wish to call out your name.

If only I could say, if only I could move. If only, I would...

The flashing lights of blue and red, as my saddened state is dragged to med. Stretched out on a temporary bed, noises a plenty and fire crawling up my skin. I hiss, the hurt isn't buried within, coincidence as it may. I wish nothing but for you to be okay. I feel my consciousness slip away, my once lover. Xiao, I wish to call out your name.

The one I wish were mine, the one I wish didn't leave me for many nights. It was an accident, you shouldn't have been here. It's my fault that not only the bottle carrying our love but also the one once filled with alcohol is now empty. Dripping at its rim, the light begins to dim.

Xiao, Xiao, Xiao.

Your name rings in my head as I'm filled with guilt.

I was far too drunk to drive.

Moral of the story don't drink and drive
