I Hate The Ending Myself, But It Started With An Alright Scene

Chapter 36: Drowning Lessons

○we'll celebrate the end of things with cheap champagne○

{Bandit's P.O.V}
My body was tired, restless even. The weight on my back was dragging me down but that was the point. That's why I had it.

I made it to the docks and passed through the gate, it's loud creak piercing through my ears, small splashes under my feet as I walked through puddles, my feet heavier then they ever have been. I was controlled by the numbness, the feeling of being alone and the feeling of giving up. I was the puppet.

I passed the rows upon rows of docked boats beside the shallow bridges and carried myself up the concrete Hill reaching the viewing dock. Rain began to fall hiding my salted tears, the seas rough under the wind as the waves crashed against the concrete wall, the spray reaching my feet.

Reaching the highest point, I sat on the edge, my clothes feeding off of the rain as it fell lightly.

I've always loved the rain, watching the droplets stream down window panels, the light pitter patter on the roof, the dark skies. I just sat, letting it cover me, my legs drooping off the edge of the cliff, swinging calmly as I continued to hum to myself. This time Miss You by Blink 182 waiting for the very last verse.

{Brendon's P.O.V}
I walked over to the viewing bay of the docks where you could see for miles and miles over the sea right out to the horizon. It started to rain but I didn't care, I just kept walking.

The silence of the night broke, a blood curdling yell sent shivers down my back.

"BANDIT?"

I looked around and saw to the far left a little behind, a figure running as fast as they could up toward the bay, the wind pushing back but they were still running as if it were nothing.

It seemed I was running too, my speed increasing as I too tried climbing the hill, slipping a little on the greasy tarmac.

"BANDIT!" They yelled out again.

My speed was quickening with urgency as the voice hitched a little with panic, a new figure appearing at the top, standing. Her long hair blew in the wind as she tried to stabilise herself from toppling over, her hands raising to her shoulders and her elbows spiking out to the side as if she were holding something.

{Asher's P.O.V}
I trapced through the park, memories of Ellie on the swings flooding back as I passed them, her squeals and her giggles clouding my head as they hung from their frames swinging in the wind.

I headed further on past them and made my way to the viewing deck only to see a silhouette of someone sat there on the edge. Long hair blew in the wind, slight waves to it.

My gutt was being torn apart, my heart felt shattered, even more so then before. Like I knew something, like I was preparing for something.

Then, like there was a switch flicked, I whispered her name in the thick air.

"Bandit."

My legs seemed to take longer strides more frequently until I was running.

"BANDIT?" I yelled out,my voice breaking in panic and fear, run forming into more of a sprint as I raced to the figure that faded into the hill the closer I got.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw someone else running to her but watching me at the same time. I ignored it though, it wasn't important.

"BANDIT!" I yelled a second time, more sure of the assumption that this was definitely her and yet loosing her completely as I climbed the hill.

She was standing, her hair blowing in the wind changing direction and her feet creeping toward the edge. But I was still too far, I still couldn't grab her from here.

{Bandit's P.O.V}
I sat quietly. My tears had stopped rolling down my cheeks but the numb feeling still ran through my veins, the only sounds that continued were my dull hums and the tapping of the rain as it splattered against the concrete.

"BANDIT?"

Asher.

How did he find me?
Why did he find me?
Why does he care?

He doesn't care. I know that.

I've accepted all of this. I've accepted the lies, the deseit, the hurt and now this.

My inevitable, my final, imminent, impending death.

Accepted.

"BANDIT!"
