Chapter 15 - Collide 2 Empty

My arm wrapped itself around the mound under the sheets, I smiled and snuggled closer there was a bit of sun peaking through the closed curtains that just kept blazing in my eye. Every day I tell myself that I will move my bed and each night I don't. Right about now I wish I was up to complain about the sunlight but I couldn't.

I was trapped in a nightmare something that I wasn't made aware of, there was a huge group of people dangling over a 50 story drop into angry rocky waters and Kristen was the last one in the long line of people at first to get the people out of my way I started saving them tugging them up and hanging in their place so so that they could run by. Obviously I got to tired so I began stepping past them to lift them up only getting before I started running into problems there where people falling and people helping themselves and others and walking down towards the only exit and I was forced to walk of with them the only people left was a teen that was snagged by her book bag and Kristen who was all the way on the other side surrounded by two men. I decided I had to some the teen freeing her book back which was helping hold her up and pulled her onto the platform I then ran all the way down the long shifting path way that the more I spend time on it the more I realize this was an I beam. I was still to for to hear words even with my hasty speed but I looked up just in time to see Kristen take a man by the ankle and throw his balance off enough for him to come toppling over she then used that momentum to climb up and when she did the other man put her in a choke hold I was within reach when the man stood up with her fighting fo air just barely touching the beam with her toes and was speaking to her.

"... Have any idea what you've done? You could have given him his kiss and been Done with it but no you go and throw him off! " He turned himself slowly enough to keep his balance making sure that Kaleb w was just barely dangling I didn't know what to do I was rapidly approaching them but then what next?

" I said... I was... Ugh... Married!" Kristen was kicking and clawing her feet tiptoeing along the edge o the I beam.

" Let her go! " The mans eyes shot to me and then he smiled. Hs arms relaxed a bit and Kristen's feet secured themselves on the beam between his legs.

" This whore yours? "

" Watch your mouth she's not a whore she's my wife! Now. Let. Her. Go!"

" Good th- " Kristen sunk down enough to bend her knees and at that moment pushed him up and way from her knocking his balance off at the beam she started to run to me but was yanked by her hood our fingers grazing each other before she was whipped off.

"No No No No No! " those were the last words of my wife as she slipped through my fingers

" She's coming to Hell with me fucko! Better luck next time!" She kicked away from him midair and sent him flying towards a rock where he will land and die impaled on while she landed in the angry water and was swept away and thrown over a waterfall. Her blood curdling screams echoing as she was swept away.

"Please! " was the last word I heard when she was thrown into the air over the waterfall. The pain was too much to handle another survivor tried to connfort me and talk me off the beam but I wasn't in the mood to listen I put my back to the edge of the beam, closed my eyes and leaned back the fall jolting me awake where I woke ' a cold sweat. The mound under the sweet still steeping and warm I headed it was time to get up and and take a shower and let her sleep.

I finished my shower and came out to a still sleeping Kristen so I pulled the sheets back to reveal a bunch of pillows and and clothes. That's when it all flooded back. She's not here she never did come home. I looked at house I was laying finding my bandages from last night on the floor near my side of the bed.

' She's really gone.'

My anger was mixing with my sadness and together my emotions were starting to concoct a dangerous mixture... My desire to live was dwindling and fast.

'Car...'

I wanted to escape.

'... Go for a fun drive...'

I wanted to see her.

'... Off a cliff...'

I wanted my baby.

'... Alison drive is perfect... Just end it... Stop the pain.'

I released the sheet I was clutching so tightly and changed my clothes I only needed the bare minimum for what I was about to do. I checked all of my clothes for the things I wanted to take with me. In the end at my search I came up a simple t- shirt some jeans my phone but no keys. My phone started buzzing I didn't care who was calling me but I instinctively checked the screen anyway. Sucking my teeth I declined the call and started another search for my keys I was empty handed after the second search as well.

'Where the fuck...'

It then dawned on me Kristen was the last one to have my keys no wonder I couldn't my keys on the couch she used them to look the door last night... Which means one of two things they're on the ground where she died or they were with her body. I couldn't remember if she had a pocket book with her. I was spiraling again.

'Please someone make the hurting end... Just make it stop. Help me.'

My tears were rudely interrupted by the buzzing of my phone from within my pocket. I looked at my battery seeing it was basically dead with only 5% left. I growled to myself and aggressively answered the call.

" what! "

" Uh... Um... Is this Mr. Kaleb Trenton? "

" Why does it matter?" I was only getting more and more annoyed as the seconds ticked by.

"Well I am a nurse at St. Lewis hospital and your wife Mrs. Kristen..." my heart stoped and then went nitro at the sound of my wife's name I missed the next few words but I quickly turned back into the conversation.

" Has been calling you via her cell phone and I am using the hospital phone on her behalf due to her phone dying. Would you please come in and see her she is not doing well and has been worried sick."

" Which one?" my heart was uncontrollably skipping Beats.

" I'm sorry? "

"Which hospital? " my phone battery was at on percent and I don't know how long its been there.

" The main building. 2872 north h- " the phone hung up but I got all the informations needed I dusted out the door hearing it slam behind me as I ran.

'Four blocks away.'

My heart an my mind were on a simultaneous rampage.

'She's alive!my baby is alive and hell four blocks away.'

'Three...'

'Two...'

I didn't stop running the adrenaline was taking control at all of my actions my body moving on it's own.

'Around the corner. '

I ran up to the building barely missing both sliding doors and stumbling straight up to the counter hutting and putting for air but I didn't take a second before choosing to speak I needed my baby more then I needed air.

" Kris... ten... Kris... Woo... Kristen... Please I need... Kristen Treton."
