"IT WAS JUST SUPPOSED TO BE A PRANK."

Those words kept repeating in your head as you stared at the empty forest you had just ran through, your heart pounding against your chest and sweat building up in your palms.

The sudden rush of what happened washed over you, your e/c eyes tightly shutting as you intake a deep breath and let it out slowly.

Then the sobs seem to build up in your throat, tears making their way down your cheeks as the memories of what happened hours ago race through your mind.

Repeating the horrors of what you were forced through, the people you lost along the way and the blood that was on your hands.

They're gone, you repeated in your mind and then you fell to your knees, suddenly exhausted.

"They're gone."

"...Y/N." A voice softly called behind you, but they had went in one ear and out the other as his memories resurfaced.

You had wanted to scream and cry, the sobs finally shaking your body.

"EVERETT!" You screamed.

Your voice echoing in the silent forest, as footsteps carefully approached your figure from behind.

A hand settled itself on your shoulder.

"Come on, N/N. It's time to go." Her voice cracked at the tears she wanted to release, but she promised herself she would be strong.

For you and for Everett.

His words kept repeating in her head, his voice echoing in the blank space.

"Please take care of her for me."

She promised him and herself that she would care for you, for you had lost the last person in your life.

And you didn't deserve that.

After all the shit you were put through, his sacrifice wouldn't be in vain and you deserved a better life.

You both do.

So she would care for you like she promised, his last dying wish wasn't anything hard.

Everett deserved that, at least.
