The Pale Faces 3

Say Your Goodbyes

Songs for this Chapter are: 

Lucy Rose Be All Right

Mandy's Pov .... 

" You should go in be with him " Mirka says to me and I stare through the door at my Nathan my world laying in the bed as Roza bathes his head with a flannel 

" I can't " I reply and turn away from her as tears fill my eyes and I zoom down stairs to the restaurant 

I listen to them talking and pour myself a drink downing it in one.

" Remember when we was little before the transition and you use to say you wanted to be a airplane driver or climb mount Everest " I hear Roza say and Nathan chuckles 

" I love you Brother Always and Forever " I sit numb and kinda angry 

" Hey whats up " Roza asks pouring herself a glass of blood 

" You're saying goodbyes " I say my voice full of disgust 

" Yes Mandy we are he does not have long left " Roza says and I shake my head 

" No he isn't going to die there will be a way something he can not die " I say more to myself really 

" He has lived life long enough " She says putting her hands on my shoulders 

" Not with me I reply tears streaming down my face " Forever is not long enough " I reply and sob into her arms 

" Shhh " Roza tries to calm me 

3 Hours Later ........ 

It's quiet too quiet no one really knows what to say or how to act. 

" I'm just gonna talk to him " Mirka announces and we all nod from the front room 

" Hey " She says as we listen 

" Remember when we was seven and you gave me this you said it will protect me always and forever. Always and Forever " Mirka says and rushes away in tears 

Hours tick by Literally tick by I can hear the tick of the clock Kent and Teaa talk to Nathan and every now and then he does not even know where he is as he screams and then stops.

" Be strong for him " Kent says to me and I enter the room 

I don't want to to do this but I know I have to I have to say goodbye

" Hey " I say taking his hand 

" Mandy " He says low and winces in pain 

" Close your eyes " I say to him and he does. 

London UK 2026..

" It's this way come on " I pull Nathan over to the lake and as we do rain pours down 

" OK Manda Panda time to abandon this mission " He says laughing as the rain soaks us

" It will clear up soon it's good luck to see shooting stars " I say smiling at Nathan 

" Look " He says as we see the stars shooting across space 

" Wow " He says and attaches his lips to mine as the rain pours like something out of a Hollywood film 

" I love you so much " He says to me as the rain clears 

" Promise me this is Forever ? " I ask him 

" Forever " He says and kisses me again.

" Thank you I love you " Nathan says as I lay next to him I kiss his lips once and he literally fades in front of my eyes and his body dies from the bite.

I look around the room at his sisters and brother who are crying he is gone Nathan is gone. 

2 months Later We had a Memorial for Nathan we let red balloons to the sky we left Italy me Roza and Mirka to fly back to London he hasn't just died a part of me has died with him I can't live without him.
