{break my heart and shatter my soul} opal/yaa d6

The world expanded before me. It stretched left and right, reaching so high that I could not possibly see or even imagine its ending. The Sky sparkled and shone and the world tipped and danced and I did not look. Not once did my eyes stray from the desolate path I had set out before myself. It felt as though this path was crumbling, falling around me like every second turns to a minute and the time is gone. It disappears before you can stop it and the world was slowly fading from my mind as well. I was almost done. I was almost there. I had people waiting for me when I got home. And frankly when I got home the first thing I was going to do was punch Pyrite in the face. I did not care if it was on national tv, I did not care if there were a million cameras on my face and hers. I was going to punch her square in the nose. And then I was going to go up to my parents and demand them to tell me who my real ones were. And I was going to find them and I was going to live a life I had always wanted with parents that wanted me.

But first I had to find Locust. I couldn’t go home without seeing her. I couldn’t think of going home without talking to her and telling her a million things. I needed to see her. I felt lost without her by my side. For the first time in my life I had a friend. Someone who fought with me and lived and breathed as I did. She had faced the pains of a life like mine and she had suffered like me. We were both the same in a million different ways, and in that moment I didn’t care that her eyes were set on a girl that was not me, that her lip would never touch mine or that I might not ever tell her how I felt. Today I had felt a loss for greater than any I had faced. I hated having to battle by myself, I hated knowing that somewhere out there Locust was in similar circumstances, which the big, strong brave girl she was falling in love with was fighting for her life. I had nothing to worry about, right? It was Locust I was talking about, the most powerful girl in the entire arena.

I halt.

And in the space of a split second I can feel my heart shattering. My eyes flicker upwards, looking left and right, desperately trying to take in a scene that could not possibly be real. I close them and hold them shut, tightly. For a moment I can steady the beating of my rapid heart and I can pretend I was only imagining what was out there, before me. I open them. I open them and I’m might with the rush of tears that cause my heart to beat so fast that my chest tightens and I can’t breathe. In front of me as a scene I had hoped to never see. In front of me was Yaa, and in her arms was the limp, lifeless body of the girl I loved. In her arms was the bleeding, battered and deathly pale body of Locust Lovelace. Gasping for air, black dots dance across my vision. A sob quickly follows and tears flow freely from my eyes. One of my hands grips my chest and a leg slips out from underneath me, and some animal like noise of pain slips past lips that are slowly turning a shade of blue that is not normal.

I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe.

”L-Lo-… Locust.” I croak, my heart breaking, and tearing into an infant amount of pieces as the word slips past my lips and out into my shattered world.

[also I could not find a sad picture. Like seriously this girl like only knows how to smile, mang.]

This is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again
I've drowned and dreamt this moment
