Maybe it's because I know what's coming. She knows, I know, we both know that we're going to die together on this planet. It was only a matter of time anyways. We will rest in peace on the eminence of a checkerboard-like planet, never to see what was left of the people we care about.

Maybe it's because we didn't figure it all out until then. We didn't realize that what we have is special until it's too late to let it bloom into something deeper.

Maybe it's because she just looks so beautiful right now, watching and waiting for the meteors to hit us. It's sick and twisted, but she just looks so perfect right now. She knows that we're going to die, and seems to accept it calmly.

Maybe it's because I never knew that I loved her so much.

But it's too late now. I should've realized it sooner, but I didn't. I always thought I was just too cool. Now I regret putting that wall up when I was around her… All I can do is hug and kiss her, saying my goodbyes with actions instead of words. She was always an amazing person, so full of life and happiness. She was my truly wonderful ray of sunshine in this horrible game.

Jade and I know we're going to die. We know, and we've accepted the facts. I plan out my last words to every letter. It didn't take long. No, I realized that mine were short and simple. To the point. I waited until the last possible second to breath them out softly.

"I love you, Jade Harley. I really do."

I never was able to hear her response…
