Saved By Her Ex (Kalijah)

        It was a dark night, as Katherine sat at a table drinking a bottle of Bourbon, hoping for the pain and grief to go away. She didn’t want to feel anything. She was in pain from dying of old age. Death would be kind to her.

        Suddenly, she saw her recent ex-boyfriend, Elijah, walk into the Mystic Grille. She didn’t go to him, though. She just continued drinking away her sorrows. She didn’t know why he was back in town, but she told herself that she didn’t care. Right now, all she cared about was having one last drink before she killed herself. Her plan was to jump off the clock tower in the town square. Then her slow suffering would end.

        When he had finished his drink, Elijah sat down next to her.

        “Katerina,” he greeted her.

        “Elijah,” she replied. “Why don’t you go back to New Orleans?”

        “Because I came back for you,” he confessed. “Now, what has you in such a bad mood?”

        She explained to him all that he had missed, and what was happening to her.

        “Oh, Katerina,” was all he could say.

        “Go on. Leave like you did before,” she said.

        “I’m not leaving you, Katerina.”

        He knew he couldn’t after she had told him everything. He would never leave her in her time of need. Besides, he still loved her with all of his heart, no matter what.

        “Good. I’ve missed you,” she replied with a smile.

        “As have I,” he replied.





        A few weeks later, they found a way to save her and she was no longer dying of old age. Elijah even got back together with her and never left her ever again.
