the arctic monkeys series [5sos]

"Ashton."

I heard her say my name

For the first time

In a long time.

I stared at her in shock

It felt new

Exhilerating

To hear her beautiful voice again.

"Arabella."

She gripped the sheets

Which were draped over her lightly

And gasped for breath.

"Hey, Ash

I'm going to go now, okay?"

As her words soaked in

I felt a huge weight

Press down on my chest.

"No," I whispered,

Inching closer to her.

"Don't leave me

Arabella

I need you."

She stared at me sadly

Before giving my hand

A light squeeze.

"You've always been so good to me

I don't deserve you

Look at me

I'm broken

I'm dying

I've always been dead.

You deserve someone better

You can forget me

Like I never existed

I'll even make it easier for you."

"I don't want to forget you

You're the best thing

That's ever happened to me

You made me feel alive

For once in my life

And I felt like

I actually knew my place

In this crazy, twisted world."

Her eyes fluttered closed

And the heart monitor

Slowed down at a rapid pace,

"I love you, Ashton.

Be strong for me

Forget about me

Because, honey

I just might've tapped

Into your mind and soul

But you can't be sure."

I desperatly kissed her forehead

Her cheeks

Her lips

Anywhere I could reach

To let her know I loved her.

"Bye, Ashton.

I'll see you soon."

The room was filled

With the long monotonous beep

Of the broken girl

Who smoked too much

And loved herself too little.
