We got outside of the warehouse and my phone began ringing, I got it out of my pocket and saw Stephen was phoning me

"Stephen what the hell are you doing, get out of there"

"I can't do that Cole. I needed to close the door manually otherwise the creatures will get out again"

"But you'll die"

"I know that. It's me or everyone else"

"We can find another way, together like we always have" tears began forming in my eyes as we continued talking

"There is no other way. Cole I'm sorry about that fight we had. I shouldn't have trusted Helen, I should have trusted you"

"Don't. Don't do that"

"Do what?"

"Don't you dare say goodbye to me like this"

"This is the only time I'm going to get to"

"No because you are going to come out of that warehouse"

"Stop"

"No because I can't loose you"

"And you won't because you'll keep me alive, in your memory and heart"

"That's not enough for me"

"It's gunna have to be, love"

by this time I had walked over to one of the wall and had slid down it and was sitting in the floor with my knees at my chest. The rest of the team were trying to get in touch with the ARC, well everyone apart from dad who knew what was going on with Stephen. I was holding back the tears but it was getting harder to do so

"You still there babe?"

"That's the first time you've ever call me babe"

"I'm running out of time so now's the time to say anything that needs saying"

"I really hate you"

"I know you do. Okay my turn, your beautiful"

"Please don't do this, there has to be another way"

"There's not and the creatures are coming. Do me a favour, love"

"Okay"

"Sing to me"

"No, I can't say goodbye like this"

"Cole, please. I don't want to go with you mad at me"

"Okay.

Heart beats fast

Colors and promises

How to be brave?

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall

But watching you stand alone?

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid I have… I have lov…"

"Hey it's Okay if you can't finish. We're out of time anyway. They're here"

"I lov… I love you"

"I love you too. I'm sorry this has to end like this. Have a good life, Cole. Do that for me have a fantastic life. Now, I'm going to hang up because I don't want you to hear what's going to happen"

"No, just mute your end of the phone. I want to be with you"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. Please"

"I love you". Then Stephens end of the phone went silent and I continued to sing, I'm going to sing him to sleep

Heart beats fast

Colors and promises

How to be brave?

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall

But watching you stand alone?

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still

Beauty in all she is

I will be brave

I will not let anything take away

What's standing in front of me

Every breath

Every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

The phone then went completely dead and cut out. I threw the phone across the grounds and it smashed as it hit the wall, good thing I backed it up on my laptop yesterday. The team turned to face me as I rested my head back on the wall. Dad came over and sat next to me, he took my hand and said softly

"I'm so sorry, Sweetheart" the tears began to flow as I said

"He's gone and the last time I saw him we had a massive fight"

"Come here".

He opened his arms and hugged me like his life depended on it. He kissed the side of my head, stroked my hair and whispered soothing things into my ear about how Stephen loved me and how he forgave me for the fight. By this time the others had realised that something has happened to Stephen, Abby was crying into Connors chest, Jenny had her hand over her mouth holding back tears and even Caroline looked upset. The ARC team arrived 15 minutes later and we were all taken back to the ARC to be checked over by medical and once we were cleared Dad took me home. The second I got home I went straight up to my room and changed into a vest top and some sweatpants. Then I got into bed and began looking through photos on my laptop. Let's just say I didn't take the next week well; I stopped eating, stopped talking, stopped coming out of my room and stopped going to the ARC, but at the end of the week I got a visit from Jenny when Dad was out with the funeral people sorting out last minute things.

I was in my room watching a film when there was a knock at the front door. I got up, grabbed my hoodie and went to see who was there. When I got to the bottom of the stairs I could see Jenny through the glass, I opened the door and stepped aside so she could come in. We walked through to the Lounge and she spoke first

"I got you something" she handed me a box and it was a new phone, A Blackberry Torch 9810.

"Thanks. How's the team?"

"They're okay, They miss him. How are you holding up?"

"Not good"

"Listen Conner and Abby were tasked with cleaning out his apartment because he didn't have any next of kin and they found this" she pulled an envelope out of her bag and said

"It's got written on the front 'if anything happens to me please give this to Cole Cutter'" she handed it to me and then said

"I'll leave you to it. I'll see you at the funeral tomorrow".

"Thanks for this Jen"

"No problem". She left and I decided not to read the letter here, so I went upstairs and got changed to go out. I got changed into a pair of light grey jeans, a dark grey vest top, a pair of black heeled ankle boots, I also had a blue checkered shirt tied around my waist, and I also pulled to chunks of hair and pinned it back to it was off my face. I then took my laptop down stairs and sorted out my phone, when all my numbers had transferred I sent out a mass text saying 'Hey this is Cole. I'm just texting to let you know that this is my new phone number'. I put my phone in my pocket and folder the letter and put it in my back pocket. As I did that Dad came through the door, he came into the lounge and said

"Are you going somewhere?"

"Yeah there's something I need to do. I won't be long"

"Ok well I was going to order in some Chinese, want anything?"

"Um yeah I'll have my usual. I'll see you in a bit" I left and walked down to a little bridge by the river that no one goes to. I went there because Stephen took me here for are first date. I made sure nobody was around and then opened the letter.

'Cole, if you're reading this then that means I'm gone but you're safe. I'm writing this just after you left after that stupid fight we had, and I am so so sorry for not trusting you. After everything that Helen did to you I should never have let her back into my life.

Ok now down to business. I know you better than anyone and I know you so well that when you are overwhelmed with sadness you put your walls up and shut everyone out. I'm telling you now, Don't, don't shut your dad out he's hurting just as much as you are. So I want you to do somethings for me

1. Don't keep those walls up forever

2. Move on

3. Don't shut your dad out

4. Keep fighting the anomalies, keep everyone safe

5. Go ahead and become the Doctor that's I know you can become

6. And finally, Live. Have a brilliant life.

I love you Cole, and I don't care if you don't feel exactly the same way but in the envelope is some thing that I've worn ever since my mum died when I was 5, it was my Grandads and I see it as a good luck charm, I want you to have it. As long as you wear that

I will be with you.

Thank you for everything

Good Luck and Well, Goodbye

Sincerely

Stephen'

I tipped the envelope and the ring tumbled out. It was silver and black with a dark blue stone in the middle. The stone had writing around it 'Class of 1951'. I then closed the letter, put back in my pocket and walked home but I passed a local shop. I went in a brought a silver necklace chain, when I got out of the shop I opened it and fed the ring on it, I then put the necklace on a carried on home.
