More Specifically, Me Maxine
Freedom doesn't ring Paradise
Matt’s POV
She’s gone. She really is gone, I feel her heart and there is just nothing… not a single beat. I lay my head down on her chest and just cry. I don’t know what to do but I scream and cry “Leda!” at the top of my lungs. Damon shot her and I will never forgive him. I’ll never get to marry her, to see her smile, love her or anything ever again.
“Bye Leda.” I whisper silently.
“He killed her, he really killed her right in front of him.” Martin says. “That bastard.”
“Sky I can’t believe it, I know you better than that! Dating a monster who just killed an innocent girl! Screw you and him!” Maxine yells at Sky.
“You aren’t going anywhere.” That demon says.
“Who and what army?” I say, gaining confidence. Moping around won’t do me anything.
“Excuse me?” He asks.
“You heard me!” I yell, gaining strength and tackling him to the ground.
Damon throws me off of him but I continue to hit him, I can’t back down. Not now, it’s just me in the moment, no one else.
It’s that moment when he gets a gun out and threatens to shoot me, but when he fires again it doesn’t hit me, it misses, not hitting anything but a tree.
I pull a knife I always keep in my pocket and run straight at him, there was a reason why I keep one on me and this is why. I cut straight at his rib cage, ripping right through him. Anime thank you for helping me. He falls to the stone cold ground and bleeds profusely.
Sky runs towards him and cries over his body as the blood runs out of him.
“Sky this is pathetic, you are crying over a man who rips the innocence out of girls.
How old did he tell you he was?” Maxine asks.
“Eighteen. We’ve been dating for six months.”
“He’s a liar, I went out with him when I was fourteen and he told me he was sixteen at the time. He wasn’t sixteen, he was twenty one at the time, he hurts people and rips them apart. I can’t say much for you but I’m glad he’s gone. He won’t hurt any more people. Thank you Matt.” Maxine says, walking over to me to give me a hug.
“He killed Leda, I couldn’t let him hurt anymore people. He hurt you and left Sky in a mental wreck. We are free but freedom doesn’t ring paradise.” I say.
“Matt I honestly didn’t know you had the guts to do that. Question, how the flying fuck did you do that?” Razor yells.
“Adrenaline rush I guess.” I say, feeling proud. I’m the hero for once, I’ve always been underestimated on that kind of stuff. In high school I was known not to have the guts to do anything but here I am saving people. Wow. In all my years I’ve been on this planet I’d never imagine doing that, let alone saving people.
“Should we let Leda’s body lay here?” Martin asks.
“Probably not, I’ll call up the cops to get the body now.” I say, getting out my phone and calling them.
The cops come to get Leda and Damon’s dead bodies but before they put Leda’s body in the truck I stop them.
“Let me have my last words with my girlfriend.” I say and they all let me be alone with the body of my dead girlfriend.
“Leda I have always loved you, I didn’t know love at first sight was real till I met you.
Once I saw you I swore to never let you go and protect you from all harm. I wasn’t able to this time but I know you know I tried. You were the most beautiful girl I have ever seen and you always will be, you helped me find who I was and I have to thank you for that. We had a great time with each other and being with you on this journey was the best thing that happened to me, I was planning to propose to you today actually, it was the first time we met. Even though you aren’t here anymore I still want to give you this.” I say, grabbing the ring I had wanted to propose to her with and putting it on her perfectly painted grey fingers. “Leda you are gone but you were the best thing that ever happened to me. I will never find another girl like you and I personally don’t want to. If I was to marry anyone It’d be you, if I was to have children with anyone It’d be you. You were my other half and you are gone, but Leda I’ll always remember you. I wish you farewell wherever you are but I will find you again one day. Maybe not now but one day. I want you to take my hat if you get cold wherever you are, take my necklace to have a piece of me wherever you go, my shirt that you love to wear at night, and my bracelets that you always loved so much. I miss you Leda, remember me wherever you go.” I say, taking off all of what I said I’d give to her as I hold her tiny hand and giving her one last kiss as I cry. “Goodbye Leda, I love you.” And I walk away, leaving the cops to take care of the body but before I go back to my friends one of the cops comes to talk to me.
“Son I bet you loved her a lot didn’t you?” He asks.
“I still do, I always will.”
“You’ll be with her again, and it’s really sweet how you gave her all of those things and putting them over her.” The cop says, then walking away to bring Leda’s body away.
“Matt it will be okay.” Martin says as I walk to him.
“One day it will, but I really just want to cry and drink coffee.” I say as Razor comes to rub my back.
“Let’s get you some coffee and leave Sky to do whatever.” She says.
“She’s in a better place now, even though she was perfect with you Matt, but I can understand. Not with girlfriend wise but with losing someone you love.” Maxine says, trying to cheer me up as I know that not having her dad can tear you apart.
“Come on, let’s go. It will be a while till California to meet up with Kevin.” Martin says as we all walk slowly to the van.
“Coffee first?” I ask, sniffing.
“Yeah, coffee first and we can get anything you want.” Razor says.
“I want Leda back.” I say, knowing I can’t get her back.
“If I had superpowers I’d bring her back but I can’t.” Maxine says.
“I know, I just miss her.”
“Understandable, now come on, we gotta get that coffee.” Martin says as we get in the van, me looking at the empty seat reminding me Leda won’t come back.
I miss you Leda, but we’ll meet again someday. I always remember your perfect little smile and everything about you.
“Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend. You have been the one, you have been the one for me” I whisper to myself quoting James Blunt’s song.
She’s gone. She really is gone, I feel her heart and there is just nothing… not a single beat. I lay my head down on her chest and just cry.

Notes
Yay for a Matt's POVI have most of the chapters written with the exception of two or three more, there should be about 16-20ish chapters at most.
I might do it twice a week or so, just so that in two weeks I can give you more chapters before I go up north to visit my friend.
Till darkness completes us,
Sarah's Butterflies
Thanks so much! Stay tuned in for the sequel that should be up by next week!
