Hey my galaxies! Lady A here, and I'm here to present to you a seriously sad one-shot I have written. No joke, this is probably one of the most saddest and serious one-shot I have and ever will write.
Now, this is just a suggestion, but listen to some happy music, then change it to sad, coz you're in for one hell of a ride
Now I hope you enjoy this as much as you can, and I'll see you back once you're done reading
Good Luck!
p.s. this isn't a song fic, the lyrics at the beginning just help set the mood
You and me, we made a vow
For better or for worse
I can't believe you let me down
But the proof's in the way it hurts
For months on end I've had my doubts
Denying every tear
I wish this would be over now
But I know that I still need you here
~Sam Smith
I'm not the only one
Annika's pov
No one thought that it would ever happen Not Adam, not Klarissa, not Jeff, and certainly not I. It happened too fast to even process it, and it hit us like trucks.
(Time reverse three months ago)
"Andy, can we go to the park?" I ask, jumping on my bed.
Andromeda smiled, "Sure, Annie! It's nice out, so you go get dressed, and I'll grab my keys and get the car ready."
I frowned, "Can we walk instead?"
Andy laughed, "Sure! Then I'll go grab a backpack, and we can have a picnic! How does that sound?"
Instantly, I brighten up, "That sounds awesome!"
Andy smiled at me, then walked out of my room to pack a bag. I quickly got dressed and hurried to the kitchen. Andy stood in the kitchen, putting two sandwiches into plastic bags.
"You ready to go?" She asked, and I nodded. "Great! Let me just grab some snacks, and stuff it in a backpack."
I ran over to the closer, grabbed a blue backpack, and brought it to Andy. She thanked me, and started to pack all the food into it.
"Okay! Let me grab my phone and we can leave." Andy said, putting on the backpack, grabbed her phone, and we left.
When we started to walk on the sidewalk, Andromeda started to skip, singing, "Oh! We're off to see the wizard! The wonderful Wizard of Oz!"
She bent down, offering her elbow. I laughed, accepting her arm, and sang along with her.
"Oh no, Dorthy!" Andromeda gasped. "It's the wicked witch of the west!" She said, pointing to a green and black car.
"Oh no, Ms. ... Uh... Scarecrow! We must hurry!" I replied, pretending to sound scared.
"Wow, I'm offended that you chose me to be the scarecrow." She replied, holding her hand above her heart. "If anything, I'd be the tin man... tin woman? I don't know, but I'd be that."
I laughed, and she started to sing, "If I only had a heart!"
We laughed, and stopped at the intersection, waiting to walk the crosswalk As soon as we were allowed to walk, I grabbed her hand, and started to rush.
"Come on! I can see the park!" I urged.
Andromeda laughed, "Jeez, impatient much?"
We walked across the crosswalk until a screeching sound stopped us.
"Annika, watch out!" Andromeda yelled, and I was suddenly shoved in front of Andy.
As I fell to the ground, I heard a pained yell and a thump. When I looked up, I see Andy flying across the intersection, hitting the ground hard, and rolling.
She didn't get up.
I suddenly fly up, and ran across the intersection for her. Kneeling next to her, I notice her eyes are closed, and started to cry.
A door slams behind me, and a plump woman comes up behind me.
"Oh no," the woman whispers. "What have I done?"
The woman proceeded to call 911, then hung up.
"I am so sorry." The woman whispered.
"Sorry?" I whispered. "You're sorry?" I said a little louder.
"Yes, I am," replied the woman. "If only I hadn't been distracted-"
I interrupted her, "All of this is happening.. because you were texting?"
"Yes, but-"
"Sorry won't begin to cover it! My sister might be dead because of you!" I roar.
I stop, feeling a weak hand on my knee. I look down, seeing Andy's hand, feeling tears roll down my face. Her hazel eyes were open, pain filling them.
"Please, stop." She whispered hoarsely.
I nodded, biting my lip, and the sound of sirens began to fill my ears, causing me to wince.
Andy's eyes were filled with relief, and she whispered, "Can you reach in my backpack and start calling them?" She asked once she was on the stretcher.
I nodded, grabbing her phone and started to call our friends.
(A/N oh, i bet you're thinking it's over now, eh? Well, you're wrong! So much more pain and sadness up ahead!)
No Pov
Time skip: 1 hour
Andromeda sat in her hospital bed, talking with her doctor.
"Doc, will I be okay?" She asked softly, "Will I make it?"
The doctor told her, and tears stung at her eyes.
"Thank you... and could you not tell my friends? I'd like to tell them myself." She whispered, lip quivering.
The doctor nodded, walking out of the room, her friends and sister taking his place.
"Oh my god, you're okay!" Klarissa cried.
Adam walked over to her bedside, wrapping and arm around here, making sure not to mess with her IV.
"I thought I was gonna lose you." He whispered. (A/N #ladyskydromeda)
She bit her lip, "Can you grab my phone out and start making a video?"
Adam nodded, taking her phone from Annika. He nodded again once he started to record.
So, taking a deep breath, she started.
"H-hey guys! It's Lady A here, with an unexpected Vlog! Now, about 99.9 percent of you don't know this, but I am in the hospital because I was hit by a car! Yay me... but there is some news that I have yet to tell anyone in the room."
That caused Adam, Klarissa, and Annika to frown in confusion. Meanwhile, someone standing outside the door took a deep breath before walking in.
Andromeda looked down, taking a shaky breath before looking up, tears streaming down her face.
Looking into the camera, she said, "The girl you see in this hospital bed is dying." She took another shaky breath before continuing. "When the car collided into me, it hit me right here," she said, gesturing to her stomach area. "A-and it destroyed most of my internal organs, t-the doctors say I should be dead within two days."
Annika and Klarissa had started to sob, collapsing to the floor at this point. Adam had tears streaming down his face, trying his best to not make the phone shake. The person who had just walked into the room, Jeff, leaned against the wall, and hand over his mouth as he held back a sob.
"They say it's amazing that I'm still alive. Even though this is the last video that I, myself will ever post, I want you all to remember me by how I made you happy, not by my death. If you're ever sad watch one of my old videos, watch Adam, Ty, Klarissa, or hell, even Steve! Do something to make yourself happy! I don't care what, do something. I may not seem like it, but I care about all of you, and when I read your guys' comments, most of them make my day."
Andromeda looked down at her hands for a minute before looking up, smiling.
"Well, I guess this'll be the last time I ever actually do an outro, but before I do, I'd like to say that I have a lot of recordings on my computer that are unused, so I'll probably have K or Adam post 'em for me. So... I guess that's all, I love all of you! And, I guess, peace out." She help up the peace sign as Adam stopped recording.
"P-please tell me you're not serious and this is just one cruel joke," Klarissa sobbed.
Andromeda took a shaky breath, "You know I wouldn't joke about this."
Adam and Jeff finally broke down into sobs. Annika walked to the bed, sniffling.
"B-but you promised that I'd never have to live with him again." Annika cried, putting her face on Andromeda's bed.
Andromeda looked down, whispering, "Don't worry, I have a plan." She then looked up, and coughed on her fist, frowning at the blood on it. "Can everyone except Adam leave? I have to record one thing, and it needs to be ninety percent private."
Everyone nodded, respecting her wished. In the hallway, the three people, Annika, Klarissa, and Jeff, stood there, in shock of what Andromeda told them.
"God dammit!" Jeff screamed angrily, punching the wall, then breaking down, sliding to the floor.
Klarissa fell to the ground, hugging her knees and crying.
Annika was the calmest of the three, sitting on the floor, mutely staring at the wall.
Meanwhile, the two lovers sat in Andromeda's hospital room recording her will.
"I, Andromeda Dianne Gray, am recording my will. I hereby give Adam Dahlberg or Klarissa Elain Jacoby to have custody of Annika Roberta Singer. On the topic of Annika, she shall receive half of my bank account, and the house I currently own in Las Vegas, Nevada, and she will be allowed to claim ownership when she is 18 years old." Andromeda stopped to cough. "Anyways, the other half of my bank account is to be donated to the campaign to stop texting-while-driving."
"Your YouTube channel." Adam mouthed.
"Oh yeah, my YouTube channel, Lady_Andromeda465 (there is no such channel, it's just for the story), shall be given to Adam Dahlberg. The last video to be posted on my channel shall be a video-log about my funeral." Andromeda said, face serious. Adam stopped recording once Andromeda started to cough, blood dripping out of her mouth.
He walked up to her, grabbed her hand, and gave her a look to stop talking.
"Okay, I'll stop talking, but I need you to grab me three pieces of paper, and a pen."
He nodded and left the room. The three waiting in the hallway came into the room, and sat around her, Annika held her left hand, Klarissa with her hand on Annika's shoulder, and Jeff standing at the end of the bed, staring at her.
Adam then came into the room, carrying the papers and pen she asked for. She grabbed them from Adam's hand, and placed them on the lunch tray before writing. She noticed everyone watching her, and flipped the paper over so they couldn't see what she wrote.
She beckoned Adam closer, and whispered in his ear.
He nodded, brushed some of his curly hair out of his eyes, and said, "She wants it to be a secret until she's, uh, gone."
They nodded, giving the dying girl privacy. Once she finished writing on the first paper, she folded it up, and wrote on the front flap, "Read after funeral" before going to write the next one. After that one, she folded it up, and wrote, "To Annie, when she's 10". She wrote on the the last, folded it up the same way, writing, "To Adam, when he's 24".
She put down the pen weakly, and shook her hand, placing it on her bed before grabbing her phone, posting the video and telling her facebook, tumblr, twitter, and instagram to watch it.
Everyone sat in silence, Adam held her right hand, being careful about the IV. Annika sat to her left, holding that hand. Jeff stood at the food of her bed, watching her closely. Klarissa was behind Annika, rubbing her back.
"Hey, A?" Klarissa asked quietly. "Can we do one last selfie together?"
Andromeda nodded, smiling. Klarissa smiled sadly while taking the photo.
Time skip: 10 hours
Andromeda had insisted everyone to go to sleep at this point, and everyone was surprised she'd lasted this long, but did as she said. She was the only one awake, but only because she knew death would come for her soon.
She combed her fingers through Adam soft, curly, untamed hair. Softly, she kissed his forehead, and murmured, "I love you. Please, keep Annie safe."
She then turned to Annie, kissing her forehead, she whispered, "Stay safe, my beautiful Annie. Don't drive Adam too crazy."
She looked at Klarissa, "K, stay crazy, and visit Annie often please."
Finally, she looked at Jeff, "Jeff, please, don't do anything stupid. Stay alive."
Subconsciously, she heard the heart monitor slow down, her eyes started to flutter close as she whispered one last thing.
"I love you all, and I'm sorry, but I hope to keep my promise."
She closed her eyes, smiled, and the heart monitor slowed to a stop, the monotone beep was the only sound in the room.
Welp, now that that heart breaking one-shot is over, I'd like to say a few things.
1. This is not canon, so therefore TBY will still be continuing on.
2. I'm so sorry if this made you cry, but I did warn you
3. If there are any other one-shot ideas for the TBY series, they'll be uploaded on to this!
4. be sure to leave a review telling me how you felt about this one-shot
5. TBY might be updated today, but there's also the possibility that it won't sooooo... you have been warned
6. this is by far the longest one-shot I have ever written, it's easily over 2000 words, and it takes up eight or nine pages in my notebook, whereas my other one-shots only take up to three or four pages.
So, I'll see you all later my galaxies
peace out
-Lady A
