Alex's POV


Things would get better.


Things would be better.


I ignore my phone thats lighting up from messages. I already know who they're from. Her. Lizzy. She must have noticed by now. She must have noticed everything's about to change








TWO HOURS EARLIER


She opens the door right away. I can tell she's hesitant, I would be too. We haven't talked in weeks.

There's a force that compels us together. Without any spoken words we've forgiven each other. It useless for whats to come. But for now it's enough.

Her hands are behind my ears, pulling me towards her until I can feel her breath across my face. She strokes my cheekbones, more visible than they have ever been before.

"Hey."

"Hey." She breathes. Her blue eyes search my in desperation. This is wrong. We both know that. After everything we've been through. This. Shouldn't. Be.Happening.

But it is.

In a way we haven't noticed before. We need each other to survive. We depended on our touches and our warmths to heal our broken bodies. To mend wounds formed by the people we killed.

I killed.

We used each other.

Her lips are on mine almost instantly later. My hands travel throughout her body, tangled in her soft hair, woven in her cardigan, until they rest on her waist.

Each touch, each kiss, erases the pain for just a little bit. But it won't be forever.

We are each others drug.

We are dancing on a sea of oblivion. One we're gonna drown in.

But for now those thoughts are discarded. Just as easily like she's discarded her sweater on her wooden floor.

Because for the first time in forever, I can breathe again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wake up an hour later. Lizzy's breathing deeply beside me, tangled up in her blankets. I take her in for the last time. Her chestnut hair, her soft skin, her plump lips. I wish I could see her eyes again too. But I don't want to wake her up.

I climb out of her bed as quietly as I can, careful not to wake her up. I search the floor for my shirt, and pull it over my head, prying on my shoes quickly too.

Lizzy won't wake up. She's a heavy sleeper, yet I'm shaking.

I go through her desk, search through her closest, I can't find it.

It's not until I search her pant pockets that find the flash drive.


This flash drive will save us.

But it'll also end everything we are.


But I take it. And hand it in to people who know. People who can bring this to light.

I take it not knowing three months later my end with come, because of a flash drive that could have healed me.

But killed me instead.

Ah Alex did it!! Cudos to you if you figured that out! Why? Because he had the least to loose. Jay had his scholarships, Austin had this perfect image to keep, and Lizzy would have lost Alex. Either way though she ended up loosing him.  I think there's going to be about three epilogues... so I hope you enjoy 😊
