Bestfriends Shouldn’t Know How You Taste Chapter 72


    Pain. That’s all I felt, slicing through my entire body like  shockwaves. This wasn’t regr pain but


    excruciating. I  wanted it to stop, I wanted it all to stop.


    I hear voices, unfamiliar calling out to me. They tell me  to stay with them but I feel myself slipping


    away. Pain. I  was in too much pain. My heart hurts, my body feels  numb. I can’t move.


    I felt like I was floating, not on water but high above the  sky. It felt like how I imagined a baby bird


    learning to fly  for the first time.


    Was I dying?


    I couldn’t tell. If I was, why does it feel so peaceful? Why  do I want to stay? Why aren’t I fighting to go


    back to my  family? Had I had too much?


    I could see nothing, in, white, nk. Why is there  nothing? Is this what they call the light? Heaven?


    I feel it then. A powerful electric force on my chest. My  heart tries, I feel it. My chest lifts, my eyes and


    mouth  stay shut.


    I want to scream, I want to tell them that they should  leave me. I was in peace.


    But was I really? I was alone, there was no ke. No  Arden, no mom or dad, no Ryan, Rosalie or


    Liam. There  was no uncle Luke, Noel or aunt Rose. There was  nothing. I was alone.


    There it goes again another zap to my chest. It feels  ufortable, like a ma hitting metal. My


    chest


    lifts again as I hear them speak. Angels? No it couldn’t  be.


    Perhaps I wasn’t really dead yet, I was in between. That’s  when I hear him as I sumb to the feeling


    of loneliness.  His voice, the one I love, ke, he was there.


    You better fight for us Ley.


    I’m not leaving you.


    Come back to us Ley,e back to me.


    I need you. We need you.


    I love you.


    It was like an echo. One I heard over and over until a new  feeling envelopes me. I needed to fight. I


    can’t stay here,  it was not my time yet. I needed to go back to my family,  I needed to go back to ke.


    Clear. The voice is clearer now as I feel the electric  feeling on my chest again. It goes straight to my


    heart, a  small pound, then two, three.


    Fight Ley.


    Four, five.


    She’sing back! A man’s voice shouts.


    Were they talking about me? Did I do it? Did I fight? I


    certainly hope so, I don’t want to disappoint anyone.


    The white fades, it’s blurry at first but then images, no,


    memories bombard my mind. “Now Ley, aren’t you a bit


    too innocent for these books?” He had smirked at me


    then in a mocking way but I could see the hidden desire.


    Why hadn’t I noticed it before?


    The memory moves and another pops up. “I told you I’d


    catch you.” He smiled down at me.


    The memory fades and is reced with the image of


    ke’s face close to mine, he swiftly draws my face


    towards his and molds his warm lips with my own.


    Electricity had hummed through my entire body, starting


    from our lips to my toes. Our first kiss.


    Again the memory fades and another resurfaces. “I can’t


    stop thinking aboutstnight.” He had whispered behind


    me.


    “What are you doing to me Ley?” The first time I let


    myself go and made him do what we both wanted him


    to do.


    “I want you to make me forget.” It was not his voice this


    time, it was mine. I remember feeling safe in his arms,


    protected from the cruel world. From Peter.


    “I F*cking love you Ashley. I always have. To be


    you off of rotten eggs in the ninth grade.” How could we


    not have seen that we had fallen way too deep toe


    back out now?


    “I want to take you out on a date.” I remember seeing


    how nervous he was when he asked me but I was so


    shocked that he had gotten confused. No doubt thinking


    he had done something wrong.


    “You want me to make love to you?” I had felt so sure


    about the decision and never regretted telling him that I


    was ready. Ready for him.


    “I want to feel you ke. Inside me taking what has


    always been yours.” And he did take me then, showing


    me how amazing it felt to be connected together. Two


    souls who loved eachother, connected as one. It was


    more than bliss, it was heaven.


    The memory fades until I see myself beside my locker.


    Watching Ryan enter the cafeteria. “Are you going to


    ignore me the entire day?” His voice is behind me, his


    towering form close to my body.


    The memory fades, another surface. Anger, I had felt


    anger. “Leave me alone and don’t follow me.”


    The image of me leaving him there fades and is reced.


    ke’s before me, face in pain. “I really wish I could’ve


    kissed you onest time before I go.”


    My heart starts beating fast, pound, pound. “I love you


    Ashley.” His eyes rolled back behind his head and he


    slumped. A piercing scream. It’s mine. Agony. Sorrow.


    Distress. Anguish.


    Heartache.


    ke? I felt myself call out in the memory. The memory


    quickly vanishes and is reced.


    Where is this?


    I was inside a house, that much I could tell. Standing in


    the middle of the doorway looking outside. A ck jeep


    pulls up.


    I feel my hands lift to rest on my belly. Round. I quickly


    look down and I’m shocked. I am pregnant.Not only that


    but there is a diamond ring on my finger.I am married. I


    lift my head when I hear a car door ms shut.


    Happiness, love, the feeling is strong as ke walks over


    to me with a happy smile on his face. My eyes fall to his


    hand and I see a golden band on his ring finger.


    He brings me into his arms. “I miss you baby. How’s our


    boy doing?” He asked, cing a palm on my swollen


    belly. I felt a kick, then two, right where ke’s palmy.


    “He’s kicking a lot. A troublemaker like his dad.” I hear


    myself speak up. It’s weird as if it’s happening now, but I


    have no control over myself as I see myself in my own

    point of view.


    “Or he knows when his dad is home.” Heughs and


    bends down to kiss me. Love and adoration pouring out.


    Was this our future? Was I seeing our future?


    I feel a sudden pull, like being wrenched away. I was


    being pulled from the memory. I didn’t want to leave.


    The love I felt for both ke and our unborn child, I


    wanted to feel it forever. I wanted to stay in this moment


    of bliss forever.


    Wait not yet. Don’t go yet. It feels like an echo as I plead


    to stay in this vision.


    Darkness. Beep. Beep. Beep.


    Pain. My eyelids felt like they were weighted by anvils.


    There’s something inside my nose. It’s giving me air,


    oxygen. I needed to move. I force my brain to work, until


    I could feel my fingers shift. One then two until all were


    moving.


    My eyelids still felt heavy but I forced them to open.


    They flutter until they open fully. I cheered until I felt the


    sting of the light burn my eyes.


    Groaning lowly I blinked quickly to adjust my eyes to the


    light. When I felt that my eyes weren’t a*saulted by the


    re of the light I turned to the right. Instantly I feel my


    heartbeat quicken upon seeing ke beside me.


    On a bed, hooked up to an IV. He grunts shifting until his


    eyes fluttered open. He must’ve felt my eyes on him


    because he quickly snaps his head towards me.


    Tears blurred his vision and I was sure mine were the


    same. He gives me a teary smile. “I knew you’d pull


    through. You’re my fighter girl.” He croaks out and


    reaches his hand out for mine.


    We were close enough to have our fingers touch.


    “Always.” I croaked out, feeling the tears soak the


    pillowcase beneath my face.
