God, Forgive Me

god, forgive me
parings. louis partridge x named!reader
prologue of tbd parts
about. in which louis and chicago are both very unstable catholic boarding school students just barely hanging on by a thread of alcohol and drugs... until they meet each other
things to know before reading. readerâs (you) name is chicago, the rest of the cast is right here

warnings. swearing, sexual themes, underage smoking and drinking, catholic religion based (but iâm not catholic so itâs not going to be accurate and iâm sorry if i offend anyone who is)
put a pin in this. this used to be an old wattpad book of mine (which was in real bad writing because i didnât like to edit at all and still donât but-) and i wanted to post it here... with a few minor changes
âiâm not going to give you fifty bucks even if there was something in it for me.â
âcâmon, itâs for weed,â josh practically stumbled after sabrina as she made her way down to her last class of the day. she rolled her eyes as he got closer and closer with needy hands that would never be satisfied unless he had an unlimited supply of blunts in his hand, which would never happen... because josh was broke.
âjosh, youâve sucked me dry of basically all my tuition money, i donât have 50 bucks for weed,â sabrina loosened her grip slightly from the books she held in her right hand. she didnât have time for josh nor his stoner problems that blossomed in the eighth grade, âask finn.â
âthatâs who iâm buying my weed from.â
âjust give him the money, sab,â louis eyebrow lightly quirked as he blew smoke from his mouth, not really wanting to hear anymore of the bickering that would so easily fly from joshâs mouth.
âshut up, louis,â sabrina rolled her eyes despite listening to his words, stopping, and leaning against the wall as she begun to dig in her front skirt pocket, âyouâre paying him next time.â
she handed off the money to josh with his grabby hands while giving louis a pointed look who wasnât even looking, sucking at the tip of his cigarette with nothing to fill his eyes with entertainment. just blank and filled with dead, dead feelings.
âlouis,â she snapped her fingers full heartily while josh scampered off like a dumb dog with a rewarded bone in his mouth, âlouis.â
âwhat?â
âyouâre paying him next time, got it?â
âyeah, yeah, whatever,â he waved her off, turning away slightly while she took off into her class.
he pursed his lips, looking around before throwing his cigarette on the polished, green pristine floor. nothing filled his head but noise. noise of teenaged snotty girls and boys full of high self esteem and their toxic talks. he soaked it all up, feeding on it like a sickness as he looked at his nice shoes for a moment.
he felt sick in the head before patting his pockets in desire. desire of something to make him go blind for a couple of hours. blind from the real world painful sights of boring old school and boring old generalization of life.
°â˘
âchicago, you got five seconds before paulson kicks your ass.â
you squinted up at the sudden sunlight that swelled in your vision... and then your eyes met odessaâs bright blue eyes, filled with concern as she reached out for you.
you met her half way, your practically limp arm falling into her stable one, hauling you to your feet before slinging it around your back, making sure you were steady.
âhow much you on right now?â odessa guided you down the hallways, glancing at you every once and awhile as your head tipped back like it had no stability or awareness of what was happening or what itâs job was.
you didnât answer her. you were barely even conscious let alone had the ability to process what your friend was asking you or where she was guiding you to. all you could think about was how colorful the walls were and how everything was swelling like a purple bruise.
it made you want to throw up.
âyouâre gonna kill yourself with how much youâve been taking recently.â
you groaned in response, rolling your head as sweat begun to dip down your forehead and the back of your neck, your hair beginning to fall from itâs volume. you looked horrible, worse than usual with how much your recent addiction was taking a heavier toll on your mind and body.
it gave you the shakes during class when you werenât on anything, and you sweat like a dog making it looked like you took a shower minutes before. you felt like you could barely breath half the time and you could barely sleep without taking at least three doxepine.
everything was hell unless you were high, but unfortunately it was killing you and it seemed that everyone could tell.

home. thomas x reader
summary đŁ: in which reader and thomas share a close moment wondering if theyâre finally home
warning/s đŤ: naked fluff, swearingÂ
slaterâs note đŻ: thomas has blue eyes in this okay?Â

it was peaceful.Â
the high pressured water knocked down all the pain away, all the soreness from running and rushing away from all the past problems that happened in the last few day. it all went down the drain.Â
the heat made your skin go numb in the most sensational way, the best feeling that had ever touched your skin in the longest time. you wanted to stay in there forever, but something was drawing you away into your new profound home.Â
you turned off the faucet, running your hands through your wet hair before stepping out of the shower, the cold air immediately nipped all over at your skin, surrounding you in coldness. it made you shiver while wrapping the white towel hung next to your stall around your body.
the room seemed to be completely empty, taking you by surprise since just like you, no one had had a proper shower in years. you shifted back and forth on your feet, the cold, wet tiles pressing hard against the bareness while you thought, soon noticing you werenât the only one that still occupied the the shower room.Â
the water echoed loudly throughout the hollow, tiled filled room. it sounded lightly of a rainstorm, reminding you of afternoons in the glade when heavy water droplets fell from the previously clear blue sky, roughly crashing into the ground and tearing up the grass.Â
it didnât feel real. none of it. hours ago you could've sworn there no other world out there than besides the glade, and no other people than besides the hundreds of boys that came in and out of the glade, death stealing them from their feet.Â
until thomas. with his crazy ambition and pretty blue eyes that drove you wild and out of your mind. the things he did within a couple of days you couldnât ever do in a couple of years. he saved you, every one of you.Â
âhey, pretty boy,â you peaked your head through the thin manila material that shaded everyones eyes away from the person in the shower stall, that being pretty crystal blue eyed thomas.Â
how'd you guess?
he turned around, slightly shocked before realizing it was you, his facial features softening but yet slightly surprised still.Â
ânice ass.â
âshut up.âÂ
you smiled up at him, admiring the way his eyes were shining back at yours, full of feverishness, high of energy. the rest of him looked worn out, your eyes dragging away his own, studying his low held shoulders, bruised, but clean.Â
âyou gonna join me or not?âÂ
you dropped your towel, your smile expanding at his words. you had never been with him personally, not this personally anyways. he was always a rock for you the moment he came from the box, finding a strange sense of comfort in him, as did he with you.Â
the moment you met thomas, you immediately saw something you never saw in other boys that came to the maze.
he had a court of hope that filled his eyes. it looked like he never slept, and for that, it also looked like his mind never stopped racing, never stopped thinking. he was special, he didnât give up, he wasnât okay with the fact that he was trapped unlike the other half of the boys who were rather comfortable with it.Â
he was a prodigy of hope.Â
âyou talk to all girls that way, thomas?â ânever met one until now.â
he held you close, his fingers pressing deeply into your hipbones as his eyes filled your own, full of admiration, consuming every feature of yours. he had an amused look on his face as he begun to pull you closer and closer, soon pulling you beneath the hot water.
his amused smiled expanded into a playful one as the two of your were now completely emerged in the warmth of thick droplets of steaming hot water.
your chest was soon pressed against his before the eagerness got the better of the both of you. his head dipped down close to you until the both of your mouths were pressed against one anotherâs.
a tension of pleasure begun to build up in your stomach as he worked his lips against yours, sucking before your head dropped backwards letting a low exhale of pleasure escape past your lips.
the slightest opening of your mouth made him take his chances, slipping his tongue against yours.
âyou sure kiss like you have,â you pulled away, a smiled swarming your face as you watch him roll his eyes before cupping your cheek, kissing you one last time on your lips before pulling you into an embrace.
you had never felt that way before. a strange sense of comfort filled your stomach like a glass of juice. it added onto the warm ness of the shower as your cheek was pressed against thomasâ bare chest while his chin was pressed in the crook of your neck.
he pressed soft, wet kisses against your shoulder making your stomach go warm in happiness, a different happiness you had never felt before. you had never felt such a fast yet long euphoria made from such a closeness you had with nobody before.
you pressed a soft kiss against his chest before pulling away slightly, looking up to the boy with full admiration, âyou think weâll stay like this forever?â
âwhat, in the shower..?â
âno,â you lightly laughed breathily, âhappy, safe... home.â
he pressed his lips together in a thin line, his eyes reaching the far top of the ceiling, thinking and thinking before looking down again, meeting your eager and rare innocent looking eyes.
âweâre close, baby, real close.â
you melt. your hand reaches up to touch his face lightly, thumb caressing the light cut along his cheekbone. he closes his eyes lightly underneath your soft touch, soaking up how gentle you were.
âyouâre home to me, thomas,â you whispered, continuing to stroke his cheek before you paused, rubbing your lips together before jumping up on your tippy toes, kissing his pretty lips.
maybe it was too fast, too random, too out of pocket... but you felt as if you needed to say it. you wanted him to hear it no matter how short of a time you knew him.
âiâve never felt this way about anyone, no one has ever made me feel this safe,â your hand tracked to the back of his neck, running your fingers through the back of hair, âyou feel like home.â

her laugh. newt x reader
summary đ°: in which newt calms reader from her anger against gally
warning/s đŹ: unedited, blue eyed thomas
slaterâs note đŽ: uhh this originally was a thomas fic but oops

gally could tell he was losing power just as much as anyone could. it was obvious he was no longer the center attention once the boy with pretty blue eyes entered the glade with chaotic curiosity for the truth with him.
gally was angry with the way thing were folding out before him, with the way things were changing. it was all right before his eyes happening so fast he couldnât even do anything but yell.
you could see the anger inside of him, fuming to the brim as you stared intently, watching him go off about how thomas was breaking the rules and deserved to be punished.
you bit your tongue, resisting the urge to argue with the wall of bullshit he was building. he was completely ignoring the fact that even though he did break the rules, he saved two important people of your glade.
âthe rules are the only thing that have kept us together, why now are we questioning that?â gally looked around the circle of the eight of you before looking back to newt, âyou know alby would agree with me on this.â
âdonât bring him up,â you mumbled, shaking your head as rubbed your finger tips against your bottom lip.
âwhat?â gally raised his eyebrows as if taunting you, challenging you speak up against him again and with how close he leaned towards you, you would usually shut you right up but it only fueled your fire more.
you looked up to him, challenging him right back, âdonât talk about alby, gally. heâs not here right now, so you donât know what he would agree with.â
âwell someone here needs to state the obvious and that is the fact that of new greenie here needs to be punished.â
âyes, and that someone is newt,â you gave gally a pointed look, âthereâs a reason you werenât pointed as second in command.â
his eyes just about popped out of his head as he stared you down. it seem as though he was about to strangle you if you hadnât exited the tent.
you felt heat rise to your cheeks as an unusual amount of feeling overwhelmed. you knew that was about to bite you in the ass near future because no one ever felt the need to stand up to gally but rather allow him to bitch it out. it never really was worth the fight.
âhey, wait,â you felt a hand reach your shoulder before rather roughly turning you around to face them, to face newt, âcalm down, cowgirl.â
you shook your head as both of newtâs hands reached on both sides of your face as if steadying you in place. he smiled lightly, his eyebrows rising as if questioning if you were alright.
his eyes dazzled and it made you swallow roughly, âheâs going down too hard on him, newt, and if he doesnât knock it off iâm gonna punch him in the gut.â
âsettle down, alright?â he gave you a light pointed look, amusement twinned up and around his slowly forming smile, âyouâre too pretty to worry about big old gally and his problem with the new greenie, okay? iâm starting to get worried heâs gonna strangle you before you can do it yourself.â
you rolled your eyes, nodding your head for no entire reason of agreement aside to bring peace of mind to newt. you laid your hand on his, slowly bringing it away from your rosy left cheek, moving it so you can hold it tightly.
he nods, satisfied with the simple nod, âalright, now before you do anything crazy... i want a kiss as a reassurance that youâll somewhat listen to what iâve told you.â
you rolled your eyes, shifting your head from left to right before reaching your hand up to the side of his head, rubbing his cheekbone, âyouâre not getting a kiss that easy, babe.â
he smirked, his hands going back up to clutch your head tightly, shaking his head, âyou know youâre really lucky i like you.â
you smiled, before giggling loudly, something that rarely ever happened and made newt smile even harder as he begun to press kisses all over your face and lightly on your neck.
your laugh became louder and louder and more heads begun to turn your way as the sweet noise echoed throughout the glade. your laugh was always nice to hear, it brought sweet thoughts to the young boysâ heads, reminding them of better things that went far from the glade and the maze.
âalright, alright, alright! iâll kiss you,â you smiled widely, trying your best to pull away from his strong grip full of love.
âgood,â he whispered, pulling away finally, waiting for you to lean in, pressing your lips against his. âalright, now try not to kill anyone, love.â
âcant promise anything.â

the kiss of death. george mackay x reader
summary đŁ: in which reader falls in love with the angel of death
warning/s đŤ: swearing, the grim reaper đ, angst, death, incorrect facts about the angel of death
slaterâs note đŻ: this idea came to me at random and i absolutely adore it for some reason even though... i donât

the angel of death was a beautiful creature that always held fate in hand, a man dressed in black with golden rings that carried the souls of the forbidden.
always roaming around for the next, tailing the soon to be dead. a man who holds fate, who brings peace, but never looked to as an angel.
he had been following you around the past couple of days causing you to get weary. at first you hadnât notice, passing him on opposite lanes of the sidewalk just as if he was normal stranger, someone youâd never see again, and someone you barely took notice to.
you wouldnât be able to tell his face from another if you were ever asked... not until the third day.
your eyes settled on him from across the street, first they were only wandering before your eyes matched onto his.
icy, cold, and blue. it linked you into place as fear seemed to fill your soul like a cup of juice, your recognition system kicking in as his familiar face filtered through brain, eyes flicking back and forth before... ding.
you were afraid something would happen once you passed him, but nothing did, and why would it?
he could have just been a normal civilian, just like you. who went the same way to work like you did. you were sure there were hundreds of people like that, people youâve seen before, more than once but hadnât actually met.
but you knew there had to be something more to this man because never before had you ever recognized a person you hadnât ever met before.
it was the sixth day that you confronted him.
and maybe it was stupid but nothing could have brought anything to enter your mind for the man dressed in black who sat a table away from you took up all its time.
âdo you always wear the same outfit everyday?â you leaned over the small coffee table that you sat at, leaning toward the man in black whoâs newspaper was covering the whole front of his body.
he didnât respond, keeping the newspaper up tightly like a wall, still covering his pale features. you almost wondered if you were talking to the right man... or whether or not he could hear you.
âi mean it sure is one nice suit... but to wear it everyday?â you quirked a brow, amusement filling your tone as if you were making fun of him now.
and yet he made no movement.
âcan i at least look at your pretty face while weâre talking?â your bottom lip peeled out from your top one, pouting, and batting your eyelashes dramatically as you slightly curved your head to the right, analyzing his fingers that clutched the newspaper.
he moved, folding the newspaper neatly and placing it down on his own round table. he folded his arms against his chest, his biceps bulge against his nice black coat jacket.
you straighten your back out of reflex in intimidation. you forgot what he look like, but at least to say you had never seen his face so up close.
beautiful, pale, and full of no amusement. dead of facial expression. and yet yours filled of regret for being so teasing.
âwho are you?â you say nervously, gripping the sides of your chair, not daring to break eye contact no matter how hard you wanted to.
he stayed silent before straightening out his own back, grabbing onto the glass case of sugar, dumping it into his coffee, before stirring it with a small silver spoon, âthe grim reaper.â
his voice was deep yet light as he continued to stir his cup of coffee, memorized by the liquid spinning round and round while brushing you off.
oh? thatâs all you could think.
âso youâre here to kill me?â it wasnât something you were exactly so willingly to believe, your eyes narrowing up together as you were completely dumbfounded to his answer. your hands loosened from their grips to the chair you sat at, laying them on the table.
who says that?
âiâm actually not here to kill you but rather... collect your soul,â he seems hesitant by the way he worded it- you could tell he had been in this situation before, and he had to be careful with wording it this time.
âcollect my soul?â you couldnât seem to understand it no matter how clear it was, and it was really clear, but you werenât processing it right.
âafter you die, someone has to collect your body, and someone also has to collect your soul, that someone being me,â he takes a sip of his coffee while carefully analyzing your movements.
âfuck,â you dipped your head into your palms, your mind hitting the pavement fast to realization that you were dying- or going to die and you could only imagine it was sooner rather than later. âyouâve go to be joking.â
âafraid not, dear.â
âyouâre just a man,â you mumble, motioning your hand to the tall man, âand this is a funny joke.â
âand why would this be a joke?â
you moved to the chair across from the man, ready to bring down his whole claim, âbecause the last time i checked, the angel of death was only a myth.â
maybe you were just speaking out of your ass, maybe you were actually dying and it wasnât some joke, or maybe you were on an acid trip while having a manic episode at the same time.
âof course you think that, youâre a college student,â he gave you a look that seemed reassuring, that it was completely fine that you didnât believe him, âyouâre smart, youâre critical, i wouldnât expect anything less from you, y/n.â
you felt like you were talking to a more forgiving version of your father. late nights when you would come home for no reason your freshman year in college, youâd hear the exact same words that came from the man in blackâs mouth in your own fathers voice when he caught you sneaking into your own childhood home.
âi wouldnât except anything less from you, y/n.â
it was always taunting when it came from him, like you were weak and needed him to hold your hand. itâs what drove you away and caused you to lessen your visits to only christmas and thanksgiving.
âiâll see you tomorrow,â he stood up from the small table, grabbing onto his newspaper before laying a strong hand on the top of your head, giving it a firm squeeze as if in reassurance.
and you sat there... left in the basic of silence with nothing but the sounds of busy cars to fill your ears and the pondering thoughts of wondering how he knew your name.
°â˘
you found him on a wooden park bench the next day, his back heavily leaned against it with a newspaper in both his hands, once again covering his face.
you say carefully next to him, not looking to him but rather staring out to the park where families walked along the sidewalk while others biked and walked their dogs alone or in groups.
you sucked in a deeper breath of air. ever since the man you sat next to told you he was the grim reaper, you became more cautious, despite your whole thoughts on him lying, you couldnât prevent his words from getting to your head.
everything could kill you, yet nothing had done so yet.
âwhatâs your name?â you mumbled, dipping your head closer to his as he continued to read, your nose getting a good whiff of him and even for being a supposed angel of death, he smelled good.
âi donât have one.â
âwhat do you mean you donât have one?â
âiâm an angel, well rather the angel of death, i go by many names but was never given a permanent one, besides âthe grim reaperâ i suppose,â he had set down his newspaper to the right of him, slightly rolling his eyes at the name grim reaper.
it made you smile as you looked down to the ground, listening to his voice as you dug your shoes into the dirt peaking out from the grass. his voice was smooth and there were no stutters or tripping. it made you want to fall into his throat, listening to him talk for hours because he seemed to be just so... good at it.
âwell i have to call you something,â you glanced up to him where his eyes already were, looking down at you, âespecially if youâre going to be following me around till the day of my death.â
he seemed hesitant, choking on what he would say next. almost as if he were uncomfortable to the fact that you took the idea of your death lightly, like you still thought it was a joke.
and you did.
âi donât want you to call me anything.â
âbut i want to,â you rose your eyebrows as if you were telling him off, as if this meant a lot to you, âlast dying wish?â
âyou joke a lot for someone whoâs going to die in a couple of days.â
âharrison?â
âwhat?â
âharrison, can i call you that?â
âno.â
âtom?â
âno.â
ânicholas? timothy? carl? louis? george?â
âno...george is fine,â he rose his hands, as if steadying you from continuing you on, âthatâs fine.â
âreally?â
âyes,â and he stood, grabbing his newspaper before hitting your head with it lightly, âiâll find you tomorrow.â
°â˘
he found you on campus, sitting on one of the many benches that were littered throughout the property, newspaper in hand, only this time he had it rolled in his hand, waiting for you.
âdo you think you can kill me before my exam on friday, i donât feel like i have enough willpower to pass it,â once you had passed him on the blue plastic bench, he stood, following you as you exited off the property and to the direction of your apartment.
âfunny,â he mumbled, stuffing his hands in his pockets.
the day was fuming of sunshine. the only relief you found from the heat were from the trees the two of you passed every once and awhile, the thick roots being planted along the sidewalk.
you begun to sweat, the sundress you wore provided you no relief causing you to wonder as to how george seemed completely fine, calm and cool actually, like the heat was arctic weather.
âi donât understand how you wear that thing everyday,â you stressed, glancing to the black suit that fitted his body quiet well.
he chuckled in return, glancing in return, âi donât feel what you feel, darling.â
âobviously not.â
°â˘
the taste of lemonade was so very sweet and cool as it flattened and sank into your taste buds. it created a feeling of relief to surface all over your skin, the sweat no longer feeling hot but cool as it dipped down your shoulders and back.
you leaned back into the patio chair, the plastic pressing up into your skin. a feeling of relaxation begun to take over your mind and body as you closed your eyes in delight from the shade that now covered you and the iced lemonade that settled in your stomach.
âhow do i die, george?â you hummed, your head still dipped back, eyes closed, not bothered by anything.
âi cant tell you that, darling.â
âwhy? does it upset you too much to talk about my very untimely death?â
âi donât get upset, nor sad.â
you sat up quickly, your back pressing against the back of the plastic chair fast as you looked to him slightly disappointed as well as shocked.
âi donât believe that.â
âthat probably has something to do with the fact that your a very empathetic person.â
âand youâre not?â
âno.â
âgeorge, you kill people everyday, how donât you? donât you feel any remorse for being so cruel?â
âitâs not cruel, itâs a job,â he sipped his tea, âiâm not killing anyone, y/n, people kill themselves simply by being fools or rather not being healthy. i simply just make sure they make it beyond their body and into the afterlife.â
ânever killed anyone huh?â you quirked a brow, golding your arms, âi mean donât you ever follow someone whoâs supposed to die.. but just doesnât? and theyâre just taking too long and you want to speed up the process...â
âno, but youâre about to be the first one.â
°â˘
âbut have you ever fallen in love?â you stared up at your ceiling, the fabric of your lavender blanket laid over you, ready to set you off to deep sleep and dreams.
âno.â
you hated to hear that answer. and despite after learning all you did about the man who laid next to you and how he basically felt nothing and did nothing but his job. you shouldâve known. but you only hoped that he wouldâve said âyesâ and a bit of mortality wouldâve shown of him.
the two of you had been in your bed for along two hours, nothing but pointless questions and laughs filled your small room. but even if the whole conversation that took place was pointless, you just had to know. know everything about him, how he lived, who he had met, who he was going to meet, and who heâd kill after you. well, not necessarily kill, but rather pull away from death and into... the afterlife.
he was interesting and he was beautiful and you loved every word that came from his mouth, except for the ânoâs. but even then he said it so perfectly and everything he had an answer for, he knew everything.
he could have anything and everything with the knowledge he had, with the answers he could give, he could have everything but yet, he wanted nothing.
he only wanted to do his job and the souls he took.
âyouâve never fallen in love?â you rolled over onto your side, facing him where he still laid on his back above the covers and analyzing the ceiling like it had a story to tell, âyou never felt a boyish feeling of seeing a pretty girls face and simply just... melting?â
you sounded like a little girl, you knew, he knew it. and even though you knew the answer to your own question, you still wanted to hear it from his voice.
âiâve never been a boy, nor a man, i only just existed since the beginning of time, i could never feel what you feel nor could i melt by the simple sight of something.â
ouch.
âyouâre no fun.â
âwould you like me to lie?â he turned on his side, facing you.
âno,â you pressed your lips into a thin line, leaning up on your elbows so you were leveled higher than him, âbut you could humor me.â
âlife isnât fun, y/n,â he rubbed his lips together, looking up to you with his pretty blue eyes, something you found so strange about him. what a dark soul but such light, pretty eyes.
âit just sucks youâll never be able to experience a first kiss or...â
he reached up, placing his palm against your cheek, âdarling, a first kiss would kill.â
âwhat do you mean,â you pout, ďżźplaying into his gesture of being sweet to youďżź, his hand on your cheek, his cold hand and fingers warming against the redness of your cheeks. you leaned into his touch, wanting more.
âan immortal soul canât mix with a mortal one, it doesnât work like that,â he continued to rub his thumb against your cheek as if teasing you for something you canât have, that being him, âiâd kill a soul iâm not meant to mix with.â
âso youâre saying...â you played on, pausing while laying a hand in the nape of his neck, âitâd kill me or any other girl for that matter... if we shared a kiss?â
teasing, it was like teasing and you were being a fool for playing into it when you shouldâve been tucked back into your covers with him away and out the door, waiting for you to perish.
waiting for you.

it was raining and george knew this day would come. the sky cloudy and filled with little rain drops that poured down roughly, one after another with no signs of stopping.
no one dared to go any further past their balcony to scope out the pretty but harsh water droplet that felt of pins and needles.
george held an umbrella or rather the angel of death held an umbrella. he shouldâve never let you call him that, for now all itâd be is a name in the past, something he had to forget or carry along on his shoulders with other souls he could tell, just as he had told you of other past souls who had called him many things, but never a specific name, and never george.
the angel of deathâs eyes layered out to the dark street that flooded with rain water, toppling onto of the rare sighting of cars in hurry to get home.
he looked down to his watch, 4:30, just about on time, just...
1...2...3...
and there you were, skipping down the street with an umbrella in hand, your head held low as you tried to keep the water out of your eyes that splashed up from the streets.
you werenât paying attention, and thatâs how it went. you were practically skipping, trying to get as much as water possible out of your shoes until you were hit by a car sending you right for the hard concrete, your head splitting open.
and the angel of death crossed the street like an angel in the clouds, practically gliding across the rain filled streets in his nice black leather shoes, making his way over to your frail, dead body.
and the boy you called george placed a small kiss upon your lips, capturing your soul within his black rings with all the other special encounters he had wished to keep forever.
and forever, he would keep you, trapped with a kiss youâd cherish forever.
