Amelia's POV:
"HYUNG!" Hobie screams, holding his hand out.
I breath out heavily, watching all the boys jump to their feet. Jin, who stands on the edge of the roof, seems to be glowing. His white shirt greatly contrasting the gloomy city below.
"Jin Hyung, stop," Namjoon tries to reason with him.
"It's the only way," he whispers.
I watch the tears stream down his cheeks, delicate in every way possible. Although he looks terrified, he also looks peaceful. As if he's waited for this moment to come.
"I saw this. Once one of us falls the others can live," Jin's stance wavers a bit making all the boys scream.
Jungkook takes a few steps forwards, Jin inching even closer to the edge.
"Stop," Yoongi yanks Jungkook back, "Hyung. You aren't being realistic right now,"
As they start to talk things out I curiously watch Jin's facial expressions. Even when he talks about this whole experience being a simulation, he remains serious. Perhaps him believing in this lie is what keeps him alive.
But right now it just might be his downfall.
I turn my attention to the boys, every single one of their expressions looking pained. If they lose Jin, they may lose hope. For some reason my heart becomes extremely heavy to the point where I feel I can't breath.
Slowly, I crawl towards Jin, careful to avoid being seen.
"P-please come down," Jimin chokes out.
I look up, seeing Jin's expression change. It looks like he might just come away from the edge. That is, until, a huge bolt of lightening strikes the roof next to us.
We all scream, Jin jumping back.
I spring to my feet, grabbing his hand just before he can plummet down towards the hungry mouths. I feel someone hold me down so that I don't fall with him, Yoongi arrives at my side, reaching for Jin's arm.
It starts to down pour, Jin's hand starting to slip from mine.
"FUCK!" I hear V scream, my body slipping further off the roof.
I scream at the top of my lungs, now dangling off the side along with Jin. However, I keep my grip tightly around his wrist.
I bite my lip intensely, the cut on my forearm throbbing like no other. Eventually the blood spills down my hand, meeting Jin's skin.
He looks up at me, not looking panicked at all.
"It's okay," he says, even though I can't hear his voice well.
His other hand reaches up to mine, plucking my fingers off one by one.
"NO!" I scream, half out of pain and half out of fear.
"JIN DON'T!" Yoongi shouts from behind me but it's too late.
With wide eyes, I watch Jin tumble down towards the ground. For a moment I forget that I, myself, am being held on to. For the first time in a long time I can feel pain.
V brings me back onto the roof, my body shaking due to a mixture of all sorts of things. Our eyes meet each other, his looking as if he's lost a huge part of his soul.
"I'm sorry, V" I whimper, my lip trembling.
"WHY'D YOU LET HIM GO!" Jimin pushes me to the ground.
I look up at the sky, the only thing I can see is Jin smiling before he let go. It was probably the saddest thing I have ever seen in my entire life.
"She didn't let him go. He did," Yoongi mumbles, "AISH!" He storms off towards the stairs.
I can hear the silent sobs coming from Hobie, Jimin, and Jungkook, making my situation even worse. A frown remains on my face as I try to hold back uncontrollable tears.
I never even knew Jin, I can't imagine how they must be feeling. Knowing that hurts me more, but I feel like I don't have the right to cry.
"Hyung," Jungkook cries quietly, staring down towards where he fell.
Namjoon pulls him back into a hug, stroking the back of his head to comfort him. I rack my brain for reasons as to why Jin was so set on jumping off. Slowly, I crawl towards the edge, peering over.
All the zombies are starting to disperse, leaving us alone.
He was right.
I back away, feeling light headed all of the sudden. My gaze trails down to my arm which is soaked in blood and rain. Even though it hurts like hell I can't begin to worry about it.
"Amelia," V catches me before I collapse.
Our eyes meet, tears streaming down his face. I blink away my own, wondering if I regret meeting all of them in the first place. This is why I didn't want to rely on anyone.
"I'm sorry," I choke out, repeating myself over and over. Despite wanting to hate all of them so much, I can't deny the fact that they are human too.
We all feel pain, happiness, and love.
He tries to get words out but he's too consumed in his sorrow to do so. Instead he starts to re bandage my wound, but the rain isn't doing us any favors.
"It's okay," I wave him off but he continues. I realize that he's doing it as a distraction. He wants to take care of me because he couldn't take care of Jin.
"Yah. Everyone get out of the rain," Yoongi shouts to all of us.
V helps me into shelter, sitting me down at the bottom of the stairs. I can tell by looking at all of them that Yoongi will be the one to pull them together.
I only have myself to do so, and I must if I want to survive. People are bound to die at some point. That's just life.
"You all get tonight to cry. We have to keep moving tomorrow," Yoongi says emotionlessly. I wonder if that's how I looked when I met them. For some reason I never want to look like that again.
"H-he's g-gone," Hobie sobs.
I watch him with the uttermost sorrow, not even thinking when I envelope him in my arms. Deep down in my heart I feel this need to protect him.
I rest my head on his shoulder, focusing all my energy on the warmth he exudes. If I don't, I just might break down too.

Yes, I know. Jin is dead )): with the plot I have in mind it was impossible to avoid. But trust me, it will all be worth it in the end (:
