You Dragged Me Dwon

"I'm not leaving you!" Frank yelled fiercely. "It's both of us, or nothing." Hazel glared at him. She wanted him to turn away and leave. She wanted him to live.

"Frank, please!" Frank surged forward and grabbed her wrists. She suddenly felt steadier, like Frank was an anchor.

"I'm not leaving without you, Hazel." She realized then just how much he loved her.

"I don't want to drag you down with me," she said softly, but she wasn't sure he had heard her over the sound of the cave groaning.

"You dragged me down when you first appeared, Hazel Levesque," he smiled. "If I gotta die, I'd rather do it with you instead of alone." Hazel kissed him quickly and he wrapped his arms around her, her face nuzzling his chest, her tears soaking his shirt. She held him tightly as she focused her energy on collapsing the cave. She would bring down Gaea. Not slow her down, actually stop her this time. And she was glad she wasn't alone.

At some point, the sound of rock breaking disappeared, and the shaking of the ground ceased. The earthquake most certainly didn't stop. It was shaking half the world, but she just couldn't physically feel it anymore. Her life slowly floated away. She was just glad that the last thing she heard and felt was Frank's heartbeat.
