Embrace The Darkness

Jameson

White light fades in and out as I hear commotion all around me. The electric currents being sent to my heart hurt like a fucking bitch.

“Jamie, come on. Take my hand, Mo Gra.” I hear my girl’s voice in the distance.

“Jade, where are you, Princess? I can’t see you.” I whisper.

“I’m right here, give me your hand. It will be okay. Come with me.” She says as I feel my hand drop, warm tingles crawling up my fingers.

“See, I got you, Mo Gra. Let’s go play. Bring The Carver with you. I need you both.” She pleads.

“Time of Death, 18:45.” A voice says. Wait, time of death. What the fuck? I’m not dead. No one can kill me but her. Not even my stupid brother sending that knife into my chest could kill me. Does that mean we are both dead?

“Jade, Princess, I need to see your face. Where are we going?” I yell in a panic, but she just giggles.

“Just trust me. Let go of the white light and join me in the darkness.” She says with a sinister laugh.

Then I feel warm lips pressed against mine and a weight laying against my chest. This person is speaking, but it’s coming out all muffled. Someone else enters the room and the weight on my chest lifts. I try to focus on the surrounding people. There’s yelling. My brothers are arguing. They need to cut that fucking shit out.

“Jamie,” she whispers, but I’m too hyper focused on the bullshit being spewed around me. The heart monitor starts to beep, and I feel warm hands grabbing at mine.

I want to yell at them, tell them I am okay, but the white light is fading and my body moves as flashes come and go. All different colors hit my vision.

Another blinding white light hits and a sudden rush of heat through my veins sends me further into the darkness.

“It’s okay, Mo Gra. I’m right here. I’m not going anywhere without you.” Her voice reassures me that everything will be okay in the darkness, so I embrace it, floating in the abyss until my mind finally quiets down and there’s nothing. No feeling, no thinking, and everything goes blank.
