Lizzie's POV:
I was going to go. I swear.
Wasn't I?
I was ready to .
Ready to save Joel.
To save Jimmy.
To save everyone.
Everyone but Scott.
While I could carry Pearl, I wouldn't.
This is his fault.
Not mine.
Not mine, not mine, not mine.
I quickly tear up the scroll and send it back the way it came.
This was his battle to fight.
Not mine.
Not mine, not mine, not mine, I remind myself.
His fault, his loss.
I'm helping myself. I'm helping Joel.
I snatch a glance at him. He looks so peaceful.
His brunette hair looks messy - as per usual.
He is not going to die, Lizzie, I tell myself firmly.
And I scoop him up gently with him cradled in my arms and dive into the water.
