"I never got to kiss her."
-

you storm out of my room,
you were crying,
hah,
serves you right.

i don't feel bad,
not at all actually,
in fact,
i feel happier than i've ever been.

i finally won.

i never thought i'd be able to say that: never thought i'd win,
god-

i can't help but laugh,
isn't it funny?
i finally get my happily ever after,
i finally win!
and at the same time,
i lost.

E r o k

she's gone.
oh god-
no-
no.
no.

she's gone.
jesus-
she can't be gone-

"i'm so sorry, the aneurysm burst. We did everything we could-"

i block him out,
Jude holds a hand over her mouth,
and she sobs,
and sobs,
and i can't hear it.

Ruby,
come on,
don't leave.
come back.
come back, Ruby.
don't leave us.
please.
please don't leave me alone.

i fall to my knees,
and pound the floor with my fist,
and god it's painful,
my knuckles bleed,
but anything is better than the pain in my gut.

I never got to kiss you.

the doctors try and console me,
the nurses console Jude,
i push them away,
sobbing.

"It's not fair!"

then he's there.
the bastard.
he killed you.
he killed you.
he killed you.

A/N: That's it. That's the end guys, we've had a beautiful run here but this is the last chapter for this book. I cannot thank you enough for the support on this boom, and for every chapter thank you for the comments, and votes, and shares. Seriously, they mean a lot.

Aaaand while I did say this was the last chapter for the book... I never said anything about this being the last book.

Expect a sequel, guys ;)
