The whole purpose of this series is that each chapter is short, and not necessarily amazingly written. They are supposed to be simple.
i. Liam Jones
When Liam Jones' heart stopped, when his lungs had their last taste of air, and his lips let the last weak breath fall past, Killian Jones felt numb.
No, he felt-
..numb. Numb was the only word for it. Suddenly he couldn't breathe either, suddenly it seemed colours turned to grey and he couldn't hear anything other than his own heartbeat. The heartbeat he wished would stop so he could join his brother. It was that moment that he realised he was alone. Even with the crew, even with everyone he knew, he was completely and utterly alone. No family, nothing, no-one. He felt like a lost child in a busy street, trying to find someone they know. He felt like he was climbing up this large rock wall, and he'd lost his footing.
He was tumbling down
Down
Down.
He'd hit the bottom.
The sweet, sweet bottom.
The rock cut through his skin, it scraped his hands, bruised his knees, pain exploded through his body.
But at least now he felt something, right?
