He and She (Finally I wrote something for it)

Kaleb holds her tightly against his chest. 
"I am not leaving you. I can't leave you. I won't. " He whispers into her soft black hair, tears rolling down his cheeks. She feebly pushes against his board chest, forcing him to lean back. She takes a deep breath and looks into his usually strong face but now looks so broken, so damaged.
"I didn't take a hit for you to have," she swallows the lump in her throat. "you die with me." He looks into her watery chestnut eyes that reflect his moss colored ones. 
"I love you, Kaleb." She whispers her lips pressing together, forming a tight pink line. 
"Don't leave. Please." He begs as her eyes began to dim. 
"Go, Kaleb. Please. I love you so much." She begs. She begins to feel her mind slip away. She grasps what little life she had left, what little Kaleb she could see. 
"I'll come back. I'll come get you." He pleads. Looking for any form of life in her ashen face. 
"I won't be here. I won't know." Her voices rises to panic, she uses what energy she has left to grip to his shirt. She doesn't want him to leave. She doesn't want to die alone. But she knows he needs to leave. He needs to live. 
"Kaleb." The desperateness in her voice, the strain in it, the tears rolling down her face, and then The darkness swimming in her eyes starts to cloud over. She starts going under. 
"Ssshh." He rocks her gently back in forth. Tears streaming down his face. The voices in the distance grow louder. The gun shots closer.
She starts going limp, her breathing shallow. 
"I'll find you. I promise, my love, I will." Her wide fearful eyes tell him what she can't form into words. 
"I'll help you remember. I'll get you back." He kisses her forehead and the voices, the shots, they get louder. Kaleb won't leave her side. Not till she is gone. 
"I love you, Kirek. I love you so much, always know that. Remember that. Just focus on it, my love. Just focus on my name. I-i love you." 
Kaleb jumps down as a bullet whizzes past his head. 
"I love you, Kirek." He gently places her on the ground. Her dimmed eyes never leaving his face. 
"I'll come back." He whispers kissing her forehead. He jumps up and runs behind the wall. He watches his Kirek as her chest slows. Her eyes don't leave his face when she mouths two words and her breath stops.
