Chapter 10

"Do you think I want to live this way?? All my life I've had to conform, adapt. I'm not allowed to be myself because, I am different. Different gets noticed. I'm not allowed to do anything great or be awful. I can't be the best and I can't be the worst. I have to lump myself with everyone in the middle. I have to be 'normal'. I hate normal. I hate hiding. I hate them. They did this to me. They forced me to live like this. We weren't good enough for them and they punished us. They screwed up our lives, just for a laugh. They call it justice, but it's cruel. They've ripped us, all of us, out of our lives so it pleases them."

"Just stop okay. I know you're hurt but think about what we've been through. We've seen more than any mortal can in their lifetime. Don't just focus on the bad. See the good things. Even being around for this long, we aren't lonely. We have each other. We've seen the construction of one of the most magnificent cities in the world. No matter where we go we're going to have each other. We'll always have a home. We'll always be family; and if we're lucky, we might just see the end of the world." I say, trying to get him to look at me.

"I would have preferred to live out a normal life. One that doesn't involve 'living forever' or being fake all the time. I wish they had just left us all alone. I wish I had died like I was supposed to. You say 'focus on the good' but how much of that is there really? We've had to leave people constantly. We can't get too close to people, because what's the point? Why bother? In a year, maybe two, we'll just have to say goodbye. I'm so tired of saying goodbye. I'm so tired of leaving. I just want it to be over. Being alive like this is killing me. You hear? KILLING ME! I can't anymore. I just can't."

"Please hang in there. For me. If not for yourself. Think of all the rest of us. Don't go. Don't leave us." She paused, "Don't leave me."

"I told you. I can't do this. I should just do it and be done." He brings his eyes to mine.

"Take me with you then. Just don't leave me. Not by myself. Not with the rest of them."

"You know I can't do that. I'm willing to take my life. Not yours. You like this life. You like all this; I don't. I can't be the one to take any of this, all of this, away from you. Not even if you ask."

"Please. I love this life, but I love you more. I love you more than this."

"I believe you, but I won't take you." He took the apple out of it's container. "Best wishes."

"Please. Don't go."

He bites it.

"I love you most."

He's gone.

"Don't go"
