The Last Thing He Told Me Amazon Novels & Stories

I told him as I fidgeted but as I was about to let go of his and stand to my feet, he held onto my hold tightly. "Don't....... go. Stay ..... with me" he managed to say amid his pain, with his eyes pleading for me not to leave. I couldn't leave him and so I stayed, fiddling through my phone to get help. While we waited for the arrival of 911 which I had called, he said to me: "You know, I have been meaning to say some words to you but I couldn't bring myself to". "I think the best thing I can do right now is to say those words, even if they would be my last words before I leave this world" he continued as he coughed.

I couldn't believe that I didn't start with this. "Don't worry about it. Ember, I have something important to tell you." He brushed past what I had just said like it wasn't huge. "Don't worry about it?" "Focus Ember. We're almost out of time. This will be the last time I will be speaking with you and Gabriel. Tonight is the last night I'll be able to speak with you this way. I love you so much Ember. Please know I'll be near you." He didn't look sad as he told me this. How could he not be breaking down right now. It felt like he had just ripped my heart out and stomped on it. We won't be able to talk again?

"Maybe she finally understands." "Or maybe she is pretending. She is probably counting down the days until she can leave him." "She would never leave him. Where would she go?" The fireworks burst one after another against the black December sky. I had ordered them weeks ago, back when I still believed the night might hold something worth celebrating. Their light reflected off the glass and caught in my eyes, bright and brief, like most things. I had cried too much before. I was tired of it.

Not even hate. It was a regret. Deep and raw. And maybe a flicker of something else. Remorse? The silence between us stretched. Thick. Tense. I held my breath, afraid to say the wrong thing. Afraid to say anything. Then, finally, he spoke. “I am telling you the last time. Stay away from him.” The words barely passed his lips. So quiet, I almost thought I imagined them. I stiffened. “What?” “Don’t pretend like you didn’t hear me…” He trailed off, voice cracking. His gaze dropped to the floor like it was too heavy to keep looking at me. “You heard me, right!”

I snapped pressure building up in my chest, "He doesn't have any left" she replied, surprisingly not flinching at my tone this time around probably because of the situation at hand, "What do you mean by he doesn't have any left?" I questioned frustrated, what's with all these people here, "He used his last dose last week and they refused to replace it saying they were done keeping him alive" she answered and my heart fell, his gasps became louder as he lay limp in my arms his eyes fluttering close, shit he needs an inhaler and quick,

“Please… don’t leave me…” His eyes fluttered open slightly. Weak and fading. But they found me. Like he was holding on just to see me one last time. His lips moved softly, barely above a Whisper. “Go… to… Ash…” he whispered, his voice broken, almost gone. “My last wish… you must…” He coughed weakly. His grip on my hand tightened for a second, then weakened. “Say it…” I begged, tears streaming down my face. “Please… say it…”

I screamed for him to stop as I ran up to him. I cupped his face with my hands. ’ please, please no I love you, please don't leave me. You promised me that you would never leave me’ I begged him. I pleaded and begged but I could see the life leaving his eyes.… ’ I’m so sorry. rem-ember -pro-m-ise. I love you.’ His last words. In his last moment alive he had ben given back control. His last words were al I had left of him.”

"Aira… I know this is a lot to take in. I’m not telling you this to make you forgive him. I just… I thought you deserved to know the truth." I opened my mouth to respond, but no words came out. He chuckled softly, then reached out, placing a reassuring hand on my shoulder. His touch was warm, grounding me. "It’s okay," he murmured. "You don’t have to say anything." He gently patted my shoulder before stepping back. He turned as if to leave, but before walking away, he said one last thing—something that made my heart stop. "Please, don’t give up on Alpha Alexander."

I said, and I was being helped away, and he gave a broad smile. “I just hope you wake up tomorrow and forget it all.” Those were the last words I heard before everything turned dark. What should I forget??

With that, he turned away dismissing me. "Father?" I cried. The last word he said to me after coughing was "Leave." That was exactly what I did. But now I was back- nothing would stop me.
