Death Resolution

Jonathon Kade was the man I loved, even if he caused my death. This had been my entry for Figment.com New years contest, where i made top ten.

    I never thought my life would end up this way, though looking back I can see exactly how it happened.  What probably started me down this path was the first time my life connected with Jonathon Kade, though I couldn’t blame it on him. Not even now, when I was lying in a pool of my own blood, could I blame him.

    Jonathon didn’t seem like a bad guy, he was the type a guy that most could imagine themselves falling in love with, but I’m getting off topic, so I digress.

    I never knew I would lose my life by loving Jonathon, I never knew that my existence would be crushed out by some high school girl who I never met before tonight. She had seemed so innocent as she asked me to kindly follow her away from the New Years party and towards the woods next door, her green eyes serene as she told me she had a message for me. Her white-blonde hair had been up in pigtails, what could be evil about that?

    I had fought her, though, of course I fought as she pounded her fist against my face. The serene look falling away as she pulled a knife out of nowhere. The blade sliced through me, again and again. Her eyes on fire as distant fireworks drowned out my screams.

    Her mouth was moving wildly, making statements that made no real sense to me. Something about Jonathon loving her, me being nothing more than a game. “WAS IT WORTH IT?” she screamed out at me.

    Was it worth it?

    Tonight had started out so normal, dressing up and waiting for Jonathon to pick me up for the New Years party. He’d arrived on time, sharing pleasantries with my brother in the living room while I finished up some last touches of my make up so that I would look perfect. I had worn white like he said; the blood now standing out against it violently.

    We danced the night away, him keeping a possessive arm around me as if to mark me as his property. I was his, and even in death I will be.

    My mind seemed to be fading, the only thing keeping me warm now was my own blood. The girl said something that caught my attention, she was pulling away from me and wiping the blade of her knife across her mouth as she walked away from me with purpose.

    The crackle of fireworks reverberated around the trees, flashes of light bouncing off. Jonathon stood there, his arms wide open as the girl slid against him, smiling up at him as if she had done something cute. He kissed her, his mouth mingling with her lips, my blood.

    As my eyes slid close I made one promise to myself, my death resolution; I will somehow come back and show Jonathon Kade exactly what it meant to be loved by me.
