His alien

The door opened. After a few minutes and the atmosphere was less tense. He got in, with his eyes red and swollen. He had cried. Cried because she was gone. Cried because she didn’t give him a chance to prove that he could do anything for her to trust him.
“Dixon?” Eamon called. Walking up to him. He took the bag off his hands.
Dixon sniffed in reply.
“Where’s she?”
He walked past the two of them, settled himself down on the couch.
“Can I get a glass of water?”
“Sure.” Eamon hurried off to the kitchen, returning very quickly with the water. Give them to Dixon.
“Thank you.”

He gulped it all down. Dropping the empty glass on the table.
“Care to tell us what happened?”
Green was standing close to them. He didn’t get too close to Dixon, he might hurt him when he starts talking about everything he’s been hiding from him.
“She’s gone, she left me.”
“Did she tell you where she was going?”
“She didn’t say anything, she told me she was gonna die. I mean that’s insane. How is that even possible, I don’t understand, she left me with a note of not going to come back and I’m just so confused, I don’t even know what I’m saying. I just want her here. I just wanna see her again. Tell her everything would be fine and she doesn’t need to be scared.” He rasped.
“All she said it’s true.”
“What do you mean?”

“Green has something to tell you about her.”
“What does he have to say.” Green didn’t move from the spot he was, he stood there and cleared his throat.
“Dixon she’s dying, to be precise she’s gonna die this night and nothing can be done to stop it.” Eamon gave him a look at the last sentence he made.
“What she said is true. She had thirty days to live with you, you had seen the symptoms. The white hair, the blood, and dizziness. It’s all sign of her death.”
Dixon stood up.
“That’s what you’ve been hiding from me, that’s it isn’t, what you refused to tell me.”
“She warned not to say a word to you.”
“And what day is today?”
“The second day. Tomorrow is the last and the night of the full eclipse.”
“And what happened after the full eclipse?”
“It’s over.”

“Over, and you think I shouldn’t know about all this, that I won’t be able to handle the situation. Is that what you think.”
“That’s not what I think..I...”
“Ho-ho. Dixon stops there.” Eamon stood in between them. He was ready to hit him just now. If Eamon hadn’t come in between them, he would have grabbed him.
“You should hear him out.”
“I asked thousands of times, for him to tell me what was wrong, but he didn’t say a word, I pleaded with him, that I wanted to know what was wrong. But all I got was nothing was wrong, everything is fine! He hid all these from me. I should have known. But he didn’t say a word! And now she’s gone, why is he telling me!”
“I’m sorry Dixon, she asked me not to tell you.”
“And you keep shut about it.”
“I had to obey her, she told me she was gonna tell you everything herself. That’s why I couldn’t say anything to you, I wanted her to do it herself. Because she promised she would.”
Dixon stares at him. He didn’t know what to do, he withdraws and walked back to the couch and slumped on it.
“What’s the use now.” He muttered. Turned his head to the side, so he was avoiding them.
“I’m sorry Dixon, she didn’t want to think about her, she didn’t want to get you all worried and having false hopes. She wanted you to live freely.”
“What other thing are you hiding from me?”
“The sacrifice of Love.”

“Sacrifice? What’s that about?” He asked turning his gaze back to them.
“It’s one of the ways I found, that’s gonna help her in being human but however someone who loves her dearly has to die for it to happen and a slight mistake could ruin everything.”
“Why didn’t you tell me, you found something.”
“I wanted to, but she won’t see to it. She didn’t want you dying for her, she didn’t want you doing anything that could risk your life for her.”
Dixon huffed.
“This is what I’ve come about Dixon.”
He notice they were both silent and he took that as a good ahead, Let’s hear what you’ve got to say.
“Instead of us bickering each other, asking this and that. We’ve to find a way, I’ve told Green about this. We’ll come together, it won’t just be Green doing everything, we’ll be together and look for another way, a way that doesn’t involve one being killed.”
“She’s already gone.”
“We still have a few hours.”
“I didn’t know you were this dumb, there’s nothing that can be done to save her,” Green replied him.
“There has to be away.”
Dixon didn’t say anything but hugged the pillow that was on the couch tightly to his chest. He still couldn’t believe she was gone.
“Dixon what do you think. Let’s do this together.”
“Is it gonna bring her back. Is she gonna come back to us?”
“She will. That’s if we found the way to save her.”
“And what if we don’t, and only gave her false hope and only end up hurting ourselves more than we intended. How are you gonna solve all that shit.”
“But you shouldn’t give up, you of all people shouldn’t.”
“Who talks about giving up. I’m not gonna give up on her, I’m just trying to understand her reason. If this is what she truly wants.”
He looked away from them, he doesn’t wanna end up crying in front of them again.
The hurt that he felt, his heart aching so bad. And the only person he longs for isn’t here. She had left him. Because she was trying to protect him from what harm?
Why didn’t she stay, why didn’t she stay with him?
He was ready to be with her, he didn’t mind if her hair was all white, he didn’t mind if her eyes were all black, he didn’t mind if her veins were prodding out of her skin.
He wanted to be with her, just like that.
He didn’t give a damn!
She was his alien.
