Ryder walked for a few blocks, it felt like he had been walking forever because he knew he was walking to his death. Anna, Logan, and Patrick were going to kill him for ruining their lives. Ryder didn't completely want it to end this way, but it was either he surrender or both Jake and Kitty would die in his place; he wasn't about to let that happen.

His mother died for him.

His sister died for him.

Brian died for him.

Ryder didn't want anyone else's life being taken so he could live even though he still wasn't safe; Enough's enough.

Ryder knew leaving Marley, Finn, Blaine, and Sam wasn't right and maybe they could have helped to do something, but Kitty and Jake could be dead by then and Ryder knew there wasn't time. He needed to do this for his friends; Kitty and Jake didn't deserve this.

Soon enough, it had been two hours he had been walking, he glanced at his watch and it was currently 4 A.M.; his time was almost up. Luckily he was only a few steps away. He studied the old abandoned prison. Soon enough there will be nothing left but crumbles because it looked like it was about to fall apart; it was greatly damaged from what he could see of the outside.

The windows were barred so this was a good place to keep Kitty and Jake captive; no way out of a prison. He knew that it was probably worse on the inside and there was no turning back after this.

Ryder walked closer and went up to the door and took a breath. He knocked, but realized that was only a stupid mood; of course, they already thought of him that way anyway. He tried opening the door and no surprise, it was unlocked.

He went inside and the door closed right behind him. He couldn't see a thing because it was pitch black, he carefully moved straight ahead, maybe he would be able to find someone. "Hello?" He said, not too loud, fear was slowly taking over with every step he took.

His had the right to be afraid; he knew he was going to die. He took a few more steps and then he heard something behind him and he turned around, which was stupid considering he couldn't see anything. He continued walking forward and then heard a similar noise, like something was moving in the background.

Then suddenly, after one more step, he was grabbed. He felt two arms around his stomach and chest. He wanted to scream, but he knew no one would come to help him; he knew what he was doing when he made the decision. Then a hand, along with cloth, went over his mouth and another hand over his eyes; even though he couldn't see period.

He heard a faint voice and the hand over his eyes was moved; still couldn't see anything. Suddenly, he felt himself closing consciousness from whatever he was breathing; soon everything went black.


Ryder began to open his eyes and he saw two faces in front of it; they were blurry. He blinked quickly and they started to become clearer pictures. "He's waking up." One of them said and now Ryder could see who they were.

"Kitty? Jake?" Ryder said and both them glanced at each other and then smiled grinned at him. "Are you guys okay?"

"What about you?" Kitty asked. "You were the one that got knocked out and thrown in here with us."

"What didn't they do the same with you and Jake?" Ryder asked.

"No, just came out of nowhere, shoved us into a van and locked us up." Jake said. "Look, you shouldn't be here."

"If I didn't come they would have killed you." Ryder said. Kitty and Jake exchanged glances, but they already knew that. "I wasn't going to let that happen."

"You are an idiot and I say that with every strength of love and care I have in me." Kitty added. "Marley, Finn, and the others have worked their asses off to protect you and save you from these monsters and you just decide to give up and just let them kill you?"

"Kitty, I know you don't understand, but I can't do this anymore—"

"Do what?" Kitty questioned. "Let people care about you? Breathe and live? Because it seems to me you don't care about either of those." She was angry, but Ryder knew she cared and just didn't want him to die because she liked him and they had done and been through so much.

"Kitty, so many people have died for me. My mom, my sister, and even Blaine's dad. Marley, Finn, Blaine, and Sam keep trying, but all we are doing is running and hiding from something—someone that I am never going to get away from." Ryder said. "People have died and are sacrificing so much to keep me alive and yet, the longer I am here, the more people get hurt and the more people die. I just want this all to stop."

"By letting them win, by letting them kill you, you are not just ending your pain, you are going to be hurting so many more." Kitty said.

"She's right. Blaine and Finn risk everything to keep you safe and you are just giving up." Jake said, agreeing with Kitty. "Blaine lost his dad and he is still standing by you, wanting you to live. He lost him only a few days ago and is still by your side." Ryder never thought of it that way; but he didn't think losing him would be as bad as when he lost Brian or when Ryder lost his mom.

"And what about Marley?" Kitty questioned and Ryder couldn't help but think of her. He told himself ever since he made the decision was that this was for her. That she would be better off. "She loves you more than anyone and do you know what is going to happen when she finds out that the boy she loves is dead?"

Ryder knew that she would be heartbroken, but he couldn't help but feel like this was the right thing to do. "She'll get over it." Ryder mumbled, but he didn't believe that for a second; it was like saying that he got over Marley when she started dating Jake.

"Dude, you and I both know that she is crazy about you. She loves you and this isn't something she will ever get over." Jake said.

"Marley will be hurting for the rest of her life if you die." Kitty added. Ryder knew that and it was hurting him that he was probably never going to see her beautiful face or hear her beautiful voice, but he just didn't want her hurt. He thought about how they would hurt after they found his body, but didn't believe that it would be that big of an impact on their lives.

"I am glad you care about us, but we'll be fine." Kitty said. "You really shouldn't have come." Ryder still felt like he made the right choice; but it also felt wrong. He honestly didn't know what to think about this anymore; it was already too late.


So a little bit of Jitty and them telling Ryder what is. Kitty is being logical here.

So tell me what you think!
