Two little psychopaths/ Vinnie Hacker story

Part 39

Vinnie's POV

I watch as she packs. I watch as she
stays awake all night. I watch as she
gets lost in her mind. I listen as she
cries. I listen as she curses. I listen as
she prays. Every day the crack in my
heart cracks a little more.

Every day I want to tell her to stay. To never leave me. But if I do that, I'd be selfish, and as selfless as she is she'd listen, and she'd stay. I don't want to.
She can't throw away her whole future for a piece of shit like me. No matter how much I need her, I also need her to be happy.

Every day I see her smile break a little
more. She was the one with the
broken smile.

Every day I see her eyes a little redder. She's the one with the bloodshot eyes.

Every day I hear her voice crack a little deeper. She was the one with a cracked voice.

She was mine, she was my girl. I don't know how much longer i'll stay that way once she's gone.

I've been placing small keys that
activate the locket I gave to her as a
present for her birthday. Each key
plays a different recording. A different
tune. A different phrase, but I'm
keeping the last one for later.

Your POV

He watches me as I pack, I know he
knows I don't sleep. He watches me as
I get lost in my mind, I know he hears
when I cry. He hears me curse, he
listens to my prayers. Everyday Every
day the crack in my heart cracks a
little more.

Every day I want to tell him I'll stay. That I'll never leave him.
But if I do that, I'd be selfless, and as
selfless as he is, he'd think of himself
as selfish, and he wouldn't listen to
me, and I'd stay. I can't. I can't be
selfish. I can't stay. I can't cause him
any more pain. I have to let him see
the castles I can build. The good I
make in the free world. No matter
how much I need him, I also need him
to be happy.

Every day I see his smile break a little
more. He was the one with the broken smile.

Every day I see his eyes a little
redder. He's the one with the
bloodshot eyes.

Every day I hear his voice crack a little deeper. He was the one with a cracked voice.

He was mine, he was my boy.
I don't know how much longer it'll
stay that way once I'm gone.

I've been finding small keys that
activate the locket he gave to me as a
present on my birthday. Each key
plays a different recording. A different
tune. A different phrase, but I'm only
missing one and I haven't found it for
a few days... So maybe, I just won't get
to listen to it now.

the second key was the part of a song.
"If the world was ending"
I smiled as i listened to it, buried in messy clothes.

I was supposed to be packing. I know
he heard me, as I said
"yes, I'd come over if the world was ending". the third key was the part of a song as well.

"It's Time". I chuckled as I listened to it, buried in books and objects I was supposed to bubble wrap. I know he heard me, as I said

"you're right, I'll always be just the
same as I am." the fourth key was the part of a song too.

"See you again". I cried as I listened to it, buried in my blankets as I was supposed to be asleep. I know he
heard me, as I said "I'll see you again,
I promise."

and then the day came. I woke up and
Chris was waiting downstairs.
Visiting and talking with Ms. Johnson
and the girl's house supervisor. I
never really liked that lady. I won't
have to see her anymore starting
tonight.

I got showered. Got dressed. Cried
while getting dressed. Tried dressing
up again. Succeeded I think. Then
Vinnie came into my room and he
didn't say anything he kinda just sat
there.

I didn't know what to expect in the outside world in the middle of the
summer. I don't even have friends.

Will I go to college?

Will I get a job?

Will I just cry every day?

Sure looks like it so far... Or I could just laugh, and let it g0.
I sit beside Vinnie I look up at him and tears form in my eyes.

"oh Vinnie, what am I gonna do?!"
I exclaim as I break down into his lap.
The goodbyes are just getting closer
and closer and I haven't stopped
crying yet.

Everyone's listening at the door, I know so. Sarah, Gabby, Lilly, Victoria,
Spencer, and Emily.

Brad, Oliver, Will, Zac, Zane, Lukas,
Cameron, and Axle.
Ms. Hampton, Delilah Johnson, Mr.
Shaffer, and Chris.

Vinnie held me tight, and I just kept
crying. Until Ms. Johnson finally knocked on the door unwillingly, despite everyone's apprehension.

I looked up. I grabbed my bags and didn't look back at Vinnie.
I opened the door and looked one by
one at every member of this troubled
family. I smiled.

I looked at Chris and nodded and we
all walked downstairs.
Vinnie didn't move from the bedroom.
He was looking at the ground.

"What am I going to do without you" he whispered

"just have a little faith" i whispered back

I turned towards the stairs and started
to take a step down but before I could
I felt his grip on my waist turning me
towards him as he crashed his lips
against mine one last time, before the
eyes of our love's witnesses.

No one made a sound. No one moved. The only movement was Vinnie's and I's lips against each other, hungry for each other's passion. But the magic ended, and we wiped away each other's tears as they silently rolled down our cheek, and I descended to the ground floor not looking back.

I hopped in the car after saying
goodbye to everyone, and as the car
started and the tears uncontrollably
traveled down my face, Vinnie ran out
the house yelling.

"I LOVE YOU ALLISON" I opened the car door making Chris stop the car and ran out.   
I ran into his arms again

"I love you more Vinnie"
and our bodies collided for the last
time before Chris had to drag me
back into the passenger's seat, taking
me away from my source of life.
