My Blue Sky{revised}

I lay there in the soft grass, staring at the cloudy sky. I saw no blue, no sun. It was dull and gray and I hated it. It was the blue sky I wanted, the yellow sun that I craved, the warmth I sought after.1

The wind blew. It chilled my skin and swayed the grass. The sound of footsteps filled my ears, forcing me to freeze in terror. 2

Fear took me over. He was coming. He'd found me. All I wanted was the blue sky, my blue sky.3

I shut my eyes tight, feeling myself tremble. His steps grew louder and I knew he was close. They stopped; I could hear his soft breathing. I felt his breath on my ear so I assumed he'd knelled next me.4

"Hey, it's me."5

That wasn't my father. 6

My eyes snapped open. It was the one I loved, the one to save me, my blue sky. He laid down next to me intertwining his hand in mine. I watched him and he turned to me and smiled. Minutes passed in silence. 7

"Looking for the blue sky?" he asked.8

"Yes." I replied softly.9

I stared at him hoping he would look back. He didn't, he went on staring at the cloudy sky above.10

"It's not coming..." He said.11

"I know..." I said blinking back tears.12

I turned back to the gray sky still hoping the clouds would break. 13

I closed my eyes squeezing his hand tighter. I knew this was it. The clouds would never break and I would never be in the blue again. The tears were escaping from my eyes and I felt his hand slip out of mine. Panic washed over me.14

"Don't cry sweetheart..." a voice said.15

Venom dripped from the voice. My body started to shake. It wasn't that of my savior's but that of my father. I jolted upward and turned to see my father with a gun to the head of the only person I had left.16

"Daddy… let him go… please..."17

And All at once my world was ending. I felt my body drop to the ground. I could hear my heart beat fading in my ears. My eyes were wide open. I could see everything my father was doing. 18

My savior made no movement to run. He just sat there, waiting for death. 19

I wanted to scream but nothing would erupt from my mouth. I couldn’t breathe and blood started to splatter out of my mouth. 20

As I took my last breath of life, he shot him. 21

I felt myself try to scream out one last time as I slipped into the darkness of my death. 22
