Scott and Allison short story

Before You Go

"Allison?" shocked at the beautiful dark haired girl standing at my door. Thoughts overcome my mind - millions of thoughts. I clutched her in my arms until her heart stopped beating. I watched as her hand flopped to her side as the last little bit of life inside her escaped. I watched the blood pour from her pale body. I'm obviously dreaming, I have to be. There is no logical or reasonable explanation for Allison being here - alive.
"Wh..hat are you..ou uh.. Allison?" I couldn't breath anymore.

"Scott.." a females voice resonated from above me, "Scott, wake up!" My blurred vision fixated on a dark haired female. "Scott, you um passed out."
"Allison?" A rush of memories flooded my head - mostly from that night, "You were dead?"
"I am dead, Scott." she looked down at her feet and tucked a curl behind her ear, "I'm dead, I did die."
"Then, how? How are you here?" I prop myself up and stand face to face with her. I missed her. I missed her so much. "Heaven and hell have been locked, we're trapped in the in between." she chuckled to herself, "I know it sounds crazy but I guess it means I can't properly move on." this time a hint of sadness was in her voice.
"After everything Allison, I believe you" I held out my hands, her cold hands reached out and held mine, "but, does that mean you've been stuck since that night?" I couldn't help but go back. The darkness, the way she fell after being stabbed, how fearless of death she was and how her heart stopped as I cradled her lifeless body.
"Yes and I've wanted to come back to you this whole time, I've just been.. I don't know, scared." a tear streamed down her pale cheek, "but, there's been news that the gates will open later tonight. This may be my last day stuck in the in between. I wanted to see you, for the last time." her tears fell harder and she clutched onto my hands. Her smiles was forced. I could see the hurt all over her face.
"Allison, you don't know how I've missed you and how much I regret not being able to save you or things I could've said." tears started to form in my own eyes.
"That's what now is about, I just wanted to let you know how much I love you and how much I'll always love you." her body shaking as she struggled to fight back her tears, "and I'm so sorry that I had to go and die on you, Scott. I was selfish when I broke us up and I was so stupid because you're the best thing that happened to me. You were my first love. I've never been able to love anyone as much as I loved, love you." she smiled and it was genuine.
"Allison, I've tried so hard to push that night out of my head, I tried. Because the fact that I lost you is unbearable. I need you and I can't not help feeling responsible for your death." she shook her head ferociously but she let me continue, "remember when you first moved to Beacon Hills and we danced at prom, walked around in the woods on our first date - might I add, completely and utterly in lust with each other. I didn't think I could love someone so much, and I didn't believe it was love at first. I didn't want to get attached because I started thinking that maybe it was LOVE. But then, when you stayed by me after everything and when we were sitting together just watching the moon. You're eyes caught the light and you're eyes were so bright and your face was glowing and that was when I knew that I was never going to be able to stop loving you." I rubbed her face with my thumb and tucked a curl away from her face, "I will never forget every moment we shared and I hope that we will find each other again." she cuddled into my chest.
"Scott.." her dark brown eyes met mine. I can't believe I actually got to tell her all of that. I just can't believe she's here - only to leave again.
"Before you go, could I kiss you. Just one last time?" tears streamed down our faces as she nodded her head furiously, she moved closer. She brushed my face with her sweet, cold hand and leaned up to meet her lips with mine. I held onto her so tight as she did to me. We both didn't want to break apart because the harsh reality is that when we do, she'll be gone.
As her lips and mine slowly pulled away from each other I didn't want to have to let her go again. "Wait Allison, before you go.. I love you." I smile at her and she nods to me and barely whispers three words back to me. Her lips stretch out into a beautiful smile.

I wake up in a cold sweat.
