Vindicated

Chapter 14

 

 

The view from up here is magnificent. I stand at the top of the tower and breathe in the fresh air. The salt smell helps to ease the pain that I'm feeling. I look down at the lush island below and I debate jumping. It would certainly make dealing with the pain easier, but I doubt that Em would approve of me plummeting to my death without having been pushed. She would want for me to die valiantly. I turn around and start the slow walk back into the tower. The others are all still unconscious and laying in the med lab. I should be in there. All of my wounds are pouring blood like a coke being opened after some ass shakes it up. I remember doing that to Cyborg only two weeks ago. How much have I grown up since then?

 

I enter the med lab to check on the others; they all seem to be healing nicely. I'm happy for them; I don't know why, but I am. There is only one empty bed, Em's bed. I sit next to it and imagine that she is still there. I shed a tear remembering that this is the spot that I fell in love with her. I get startled when one of the Titans begins to stir. I decide that it would be a bad idea to be here when they wake up, so I muster the strength to get up and start the trek downstairs. As I walk past my former friends I cry and say my final goodbyes to each of them. Even though most of them were jerks to me and Em, I still care about them.

 

Then there was Starfire. I can't believe it; she's smiling even when she's unconscious. I'll miss her the most; the sweetness that she gave me even when everyone else had lost faith in me gave me a lot of strength. I lean over and kiss her on the forehead. I leave a blood-soaked lip imprint and chuckle to myself. I don't even bother to wipe it off. I honestly don't care what the others think of me anymore. She is the only one who matters, and now that I'm out of the Titans, even she won't be able to save me for long.

 

I walk out of the lab and slowly make my way down the stairs. I look behind me and see a trail of blood. Blood and tears. I don't even feel it really. It kind of tickles really. I laugh at the idea of feeling the pain in the same way that a feather would grace the bottom of my foot. I slip and fall down the stairs. I'm surprised I survived much less remained conscious. I'm at the ground floor and can see out the front door. I must have left the thing open when I burst in. I see a flock of seagulls pass through the horizon. Could I be with them, careless and free? I hope the others are going to be ok. I start to crawl and make my way through the lobby and leave a huge trail of blood behind me. The room starts to spin. NO!!! If I am going to die today it will not be in here. I won't give this hell hole the pleasure of containing my dead carcass. This building beat me down but I won't let have my body. I barely make it outside before I can no longer have the strength to move my self on my own. I can feel my body slide down the hill rolling toward the water line on this accursed island.

 

The life slips from me. I wonder if I will see Em when I reach the after life. I hope so. I can never forgive…

 

Death tears into my soul as teeth would tear into a raw piece of succulent meat…

 

 

 

Author's note: well… that is it. If you want more let me know. I can probably go a few different directions with it, but I need to see some feedback. Leave a review and tell me that you want to see more. I could easily do a sequel to this, or maybe the same story from a different pov. Let me know what you think. I look forward to seeing your comments.
