This is a oneshot of my OC's Nathan & Sabrina a Y2K goth couple. They had a relatively healthy relationship. Both struggled with mental health issues.
The world feels so small without you. Lounging for the nights I could look into your eyes and get lost within your soul. Facebook posts about us being two stray dogs that found one another. I hear you in the music blasting from our car radio. When night drives get quiet without your relentless rambles. That was all before, before the blood covered floor, before the paramedics, before the rush, before the tears, and before the morgue. I never thought your eyes could look so dead, once filled with such a soul, gone. Do you still remember me? Our dog? Or our favorite memory?
“Saabrinaa, we need to go!”
“One more minute I promise!”
“You said that a minute ago!”
“Okay, okay, I’m done!”
I bolted out of the bathroom rushing towards the stairs, where Nathan is at the bottom. My beloved new rocks cladded my feet thumping along aged wooden floors. I reached the narrow stairwell and in my haste I missed one step too many. My body launching down the stairs flailing about my arms and legs contorting into different stages of a squashed spider. A large pronounced — KATHUMP echoed throughout the house. I immediately righted my body and looked up at Nathan in pure shock. We burst into hysterical laughter, tears clouding our vision.
“How the fuck did you do that!”
“I have no fucking clue, I BLAME THE NEW ROCKS!”
It was nothing spectacular but to us it was everything. We had only been dating for a year and living together for 6 months. That was the first time we felt like a real couple, the first time I realized you were my person and I was yours. Now you lay in a morgue drawer on a cold slab of steel, waiting to be cremated. So I can spread your ashes in the woods behind your childhood home, just like you wanted. Keeping a little bit of you stashed away in the locket I kept with a photo of everything you used to be. You were more than just my person, you were and still are my home.
