I couldn't save him, and it was so obvious. I knew something was wrong and yet I ignored it. We were treading on hard ground. Stealing from the government. Kicked out of our own facility. He continued to laugh it off. He assured me everything was okay, and it was for a time.
We tested and laughed. Rode dragons, barbecued, and even went to space. It was fine even when a two headed creeper from space blew us sky high.
We were happy. Incredibly happy. It didn't even matter what dark cloud was waiting in the corner to destroy us as long as he and I continued to smile. That's what I hoped anyway, but hope wouldn't save us. It really wouldn't save him.
They broke through our doors and pushed their way through. I tried to stop them. I tried to hide him, but I was easily pushed aside and knocked to the ground. I watched them force him to the floor and shackle his arms together. His face was pressed into the ground and he was looking me straight in the eye.
At that moment I wanted to say so much, but only one word came to mind. "Lewis..."
He sadly smiled at me. The fear and regret bore into his face. "Simon... I promised to go peacefully if they promised to leave you alone. I screwed up, badly... I'm sorry. Thank you for believing in me for so long, but you should know I'm not to be trusted. I did my best to protect you and I've done so and now it's time to pay for all that has happened. Goodbye Simon."
I reached out to him. "Don't go. I tried to protect you."
They lift him off the ground and start taking him away. He glances back at me as he is pushed along. "I know you did. I'm so grateful to you for that." A small smile crosses his face. "Be safe, Simon. Thank you for everything."
"No..." I try to stand up. I try to run after them, but my ankle had snapped. No matter how much I struggled, there was no way I could stop them so I sat there in my grief, saying his name over and over. "Lewis... Lewis... I'm so sorry." In the end, I failed the one I love

That went from fluffy to really heavy. I apologize for that.
