Hey guys, Im back again! For those of you who couldn't wait to read what happens next...I wont keep you any longer!
Chase P.O.V
"No," I said, struggling to raise my voice enough so that they could hear me, before it was too late. They both looked down at me.
"Not now, Chase, we really need to get out of here! So just shut up and let us help you." The two of them started to move again, so I twisted and turned until they had to set me down.
" Chase, please!" My brother Adam looked down at me, pleading. I was taken aback. He never asked me for anything before...No! Focus! I shook my head. "You guys have to go, get out of here!" Bree shakes her head.
"No. Not without you, you know that." Adam nods in agreement. I sigh and slowly stand up. I trip over my feet and lurch forwards, and immediately my sister jumps into action, her hands outstretched to keep me from falling. "Chase!" She cries out, as I steady myself. I sneak a look into her eyes, and am surprised that they are filled to the brim with tears.
The simple act of falling over, had brought my sister, my brave, strong, mostly indifferent sister, to tears. I guess I never realized just how much they loved me. Now, it was time for me to show them, just how much they mean to me. "You guys have to leave me here. We'll never make it, with me slowing you down, and you guys know that. So just go. Tell Leo and Mr. Davenport I-" My voice caught at the end of my sentence. "That I love them."
Bree was now visibly crying, and even Adam had tears in his eyes, but they weren't moving.
"No Chase, we can't do that!" They held their ground, and I started to push them towards the door. They are afraid of using too much force with me, unsure if whether or not my system will collapse. If so, when. They were too helpless to stop me.
At the the edge Bree stops. "Chase, please! Don't make us do this!" Adam nodded fervently.
"We can't leave without you, we just can't! If you're not going, neither are we." I take a quick look at the door behind them. I was a good few feet away,and Bree and Adam are right in front of it. It was almost about to close...I knew I had to react fast.
"Guys..." I start by saying, and I know I have their attention. They look to me, hopeful that I'm about to change my mind, that I'm about to go with them, and that they can cure me and everything will be back to normal. But it won't, and never will be. They will learn to move on, after some time. "I'm sorry." I say, and before they realize what exactly was happening, I had used the last of my energy to push them through the small gap left in the space between the door and the floor, to safety. The last thing I hear before I crumpled to the floor was my name, before a large boom resonated, orange filled my vision.
I was aware of an unbearable heat, and my head finally hit the ground...hard. My last thought was that my family was safe. But...I forgot to tell Adam and Bree just how much they meant to me. I didn't have long to dwell on this, really no more than a millisecond actually, because then everything faded to black.
Dont kill me for this, there are 2 more chapter right up ahead! Go on, read them. I dont have anything else to say. What do authors even say in these things...?
Later,
