"Jimmy, Jimmy, are you okay?"
"No."
My hands were covered in his blood, I couldn't see any skin just crimson that was coming and coming fast, and I knew right then and there our last bit of hope was being crushed.
(hope of making up our lost years, hope of being alive at the end of this nightmare)
I had my head on his chest right where his heart is, the one he had given me with a smile and I was ready to do the same, and I couldn't even hear a weak beat from it.
"Oh god."
Before the tears could come, for this nightmare playing out in front of my eyes where I lose everything I love in one day, the one that brought this all on our heads had his strong hands on me and everything faded to black.
(all but him, who wasn't breathing anymore, and in one moment we lost our happy ending)
-
"Now we're really alone, Abby, just you and me."
I wanted to scream, yell that I don't want him or his love until I can't speak anymore, to fight away the hands that have killed so many but I had nothing left to fight for.
"Just you and me."
He still loved me, saying so with that smile that I see each time I close my eyes (along with Jimmy's last moments), and now there was nothing and 'no one to get in our way' and no one to save me.
(I can't be saved anyway, I'm already dead and buried)
It was clear, as his fingers trailed along my forehead along with his smiling lips (doing everything a brother shouldn't), that I was his, he owned what was left of my heart and soul and I had no way of getting them back.
He also owned the last moments of a dozen or so lives, as his knife slipped in and stole it away, and the faces of the betrayed as he ripped away the mask of best-friend, groom, and all around nice guy.
And revealed his true nature, murderer.
"It's perfect, isn't it, Abby?"
I knew then that to him this was nothing but a game and he had made it to the last level and won it by trapping me here with him in this house of horrors.
But if he had only know that back before he his hands were tainted in blood, and all he gave were lies, I would have lived here with him, forever and ever, if only he had asked me to.
"Perfect."
-
"This is just the beginning, we have all the time in the world and someday you'll come to love me again. To want me, just watch and see."
My lungs weren't sore from screaming at him and my feet weren't raw from running because the moment Jimmy's heart stopped beating (and I was there to hear it happen) I lost the only hope I had, and now what's left to do is give in.
This island had been my home, where all I loved lived (now Henry's all that's left, even if I don't want him), and I had tried to escape it and it's bloody past but I just got dragged back and now I can't leave, not until I die.
I'm counting the days, to when his love fades and I'm next, or maybe when I can handle killing my best-friend and brother but it's clear I can't do that, not in a million years.
(not if I still love him, and sadly I can't stop)
"But you have to try, Abby, can you do that for me?"
Over every kind of breakfast food known to man, each a childhood favorite that I haven't had in years (which I shared with him before this all), his hands were holding on to mine tightly and I could see nothing but love and hope in his eyes.
(the ones that never leave me even for a second)
And I couldn't stop the part of me that still loved him more then then I should, loving the little boy that had been my world, from saying just what he wanted to hear.
"Y-Yes, I can."
But even as I gave in, his smile growing even wider and his arms wrapping me up (now he didn't have to let go), I still had the only one I truly loved on my heart and mind, Jimmy.
The one I could have grown old with, could have said 'I do' to without hesitating, and the one I could have had my happy ending with, I could have had it all, should have, but didn't.
"You won't regret this, Abby, I love you so much and now we have forever."
