Wednesday's POV:

My eyes drift back downwards to Enid, who now looks at me. Anger fills my body, seething as I look at Gabrielle. Killing time.

She kneels down and yanks the knife out of Enid. My girlfriend's back arches as she gasps and groans.

"No!" I yell out.

Oh, fuck you. You're done now.

"Plug it with your clothes!" I say to her before lunging at Gabrielle.

She moves aside and pushes me down to the ground. I grunt, standing to my feet. She smirks at me like I'm an easy target.

But I'm not.

I attack her, grabbing her hand with the knife to twist it. She yells out as I turn it, but I get punched in the back. That, itself, turns her wrist even more due to the sudden action.

The knife falls from her hand as she yanks it back, screaming in pain. Yup, I definitely broke it.

She stumbles backward, leaning over with her hand in her grasp. I look around for the knife, spotting it. I run to it, trying to grab it but a foot steps on it.

I look up to find Gabrielle there. She pulls her leg back to kick me in the face. I roll away, groaning in pain. I lay on my stomach as I grab my face.

That hurt like a bitch. I taste blood in my mouth. Shit.

I try to get up, but I'm pinned down and rolled over. The woman sits on my torso, her legs digging into mine.

I see the knife coming down as I use my hands to hold it back. Fuck.

The knife comes closer and closer, her face inches away from mine. Oh how much I wish I could slap that smirk off of her face.

Her strength is even more stronger now as I'm weakening. The knife is centimeters away from my chest.

I have to live.

I position my body so the knife goes into the side of my chest. As the blade enters my body, I grunt loudly. Fuck.

I slam my head against hers, causing her to let go of the knife and fall backward. Gabrielle lays on the ground now. This is the time.

I use what little strength I have to sit up. I need to kill her. My hand slowly goes for the knife in my chest, pulling it out and groaning.

Fuck, I have to do this quick. I crawl over to Gabrielle, shoving the knife far into her chest.

She didn't even see me coming, did she?

I watch as her life slowly drains from her eyes. I try to breathe for a second before scrambling over to Enid. I pause over the weak girl who's clutching the stab wound on her stomach.

I can't do anything, I'm too weak to stand. I lift her head to set it on my lap. Her eyes slowly open and I stare into them.

"I'm sorry." She mutters.

I shake my head. "No apologies. You're gonna be okay." I say, placing my hand over hers to cover the wound harder. She shakes her head.

"No, Enid! You're going to be fine!" I practically yell out.

"I'm not going to live." She mumbles.

I feel the tears gather up in my eyes. Enid's going to be okay. I'm promising that.

"Y-you are!" I say.

Enid shakes her head again. "No! We still have the future ahead of us! We're going to marry and grow up and have kids with a lot of animals!" I start to sob.

"We promised!" I notice Enid's eyes filling up with tears too as she shakes her head.

"You need to live for me." She says quietly.

I shake my head. "You die, I die," I say. Enid smiles weakly at me, her eyes drifting down to my lips.

One last kiss...

I quickly move my face to hers, pressing our lips together.

I feel her fingers curl around my hand, I hold back. I want to stay like this forever. I don't want it to end. It does as I pull away, watching the tears fall from her eyes.

"I never thought I'd find someone like you. I'm happy I did. I love you so fucking much, Enid." I sob quietly, trying to give her one last smile.

"I love you too, Wednesday." She says with a tiny grin.

I watch her eyes slowly close. "No, no, no, no!" I yell out, lifting her head higher.

"Enid! No!" I scream, holding her face close to mine. Her chest stops rising, I feel no pulse, no breath, I hear no heartbeat.

My tears fall, landing on the dead girl beneath me. "Fuck! Enid!" I say, shaking her now.

No, she needs to come back! "Enid!" I yell out one last time.

I let my head fall to her chest, my hand still interlocked with hers. "I'm so sorry." I cry out into her chest.

The pain in my chest is getting worse. I think I lost a lot of blood now. I feel the world around me go blurry. Fuck, no, live.

Live for Enid. You have to, Wednesday!

I get weaker and weaker as my body loses all the strength. I try to lift my head, kissing those lips of yours one last time. I part from you, my head now relaxing on your chest.

I hear no heartbeat. I promised to keep you alive and safe. And I failed.

I'm so sorry, Enid. I love you.

A note Wednesday was never able to give Enid:

Cara mia,
I love you so much. I'm so happy I met you. I never thought I'd ever love someone as colorful and annoying as you. I always looked at you as a liability, but that has changed now. You brought something out from deep inside of me that I never knew I had. You crumbled those walls I built to protect myself from everyone. You showed me the real world and how it is supposed to be lived. I cannot tell you how thankful I am for you. Even through our toughest times, you were always there for me and I was always there for you. Well, I tried. I'm already over here, planning our future together. And hopefully, one day we'll talk about it, and it will come true. I want to be with you forever. I'm promising that. You are amazing. Those ocean-like eyes of yours are magnificent. I get lost in them so easily. No matter what you wear or what you look like, I will always love the sweet, bubbly girl inside. That's what I admired from the start. I hope we stay together for the rest of our lives. I love you so much, mi amor.
Thank you for everything.
