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 regular 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, plain, white, blank. 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 Blake. 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  uncomfortable, like a magnet 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 succumb to the feeling of loneliness.  His voice, the one I love, Blake, he was there.

You better fight for us Ley.

I’m not leaving you.

Come back to us Ley, come 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 Blake.

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’s coming 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
