You Again: Love Has No Boundaries


J. Peach - 2018
    “Akil,” I slapped his cheek. His lips stretched into a smile, showing his bloody teeth. “I like how you say my name.” He choked again, and blood flew from his mouth. He finally set his tiring eyes on me. “Why you still here?” My mouth opened then closed before I sighed. “You looked like you needed help. I couldn’t leave you, I’ll feel bad.” Without thinking, I wiped blood from his mouth. His weak hand grabbed my wrist. “What’s your name?” I couldn’t begin to understand why, but for some reason that made me smile. “If I see you again I’ll tell you.” “Baby girl, I’m dead already,” he spoke. His eyes finally close as his breathing evened out. “If you die then you weren’t meant to know me or see me again…” Is the saying, what’s meant to be will always find its way back to you, true? Find out in You Again: Love Has No Boundaries.
