Sadly, here comes the heartbreak and torture of my poor, wonderful characters. It's not like I enjoy torturing them, but I do what needs to be done. And am I losing readers? What am I doing wrong? :'(

Disclaimer: No, it's not mine.

Sam's POV

I could see it. My sister was hurting. I sat next to her on the couch while Dad talked with Quorra, Lorena, and Melchior. I could tell he wanted me to talk to Cassie. I put my hand over hers.

"Hey sis." She looked up at me. Her face was wet. "Oh Cassie." I pulled her into a hug and she started to sob into my chest. I saw Dad shoot a look at me. I widened my eyes and patted my sister's hair.

"I am such an idiot! I shouldn't be mad at him… It wasn't his fault…" She was sobbing.

"It's okay, Cassie. He feels bad about it." She shook her head.

"My fault!" She sobbed hysterically. I looked up and around for help. I saw Tron staring at us from the hallway.

I looked at him, then back at Cassie. He nodded and walked over, crouching by Cassie.

Cassie's POV

I sobbed. I felt like a horrible person. I should die.

"Cassie…" I heard Tron's voice by my ear. I snapped my head up. He was right there. I threw myself onto him, sobbing hysterically.

"Oh god, Tron, I'm so sorry I shouldn't blame you I was just so scared!" I rambled senselessly while sobbing into his shoulder. He patted my hair.

"I shouldn't have let go of you. It's my fault."

I shook my head, crying still. "No. I should've understood that you needed to do what you needed to do." I dug my fingernails into my wrist again, and I sighed in relieved pain as I felt the pain shoot through my arm.

He looked at me. His eyes flicked down to my wrists and he gasped, sitting up. "Cassie! Are you okay?"

I stared at him, terrified. "Shh! They can't know!" Sam gave us a weird look.

"What's going on?"

"Nothing!" I smiled innocently. The blood was trickling down my arm, but I was hiding it. "It's nothing, Sam, really!"

"Alright…" He turned away. I knew he didn't believe me. Tron grabbed my hands and flipped them over.

"You can't keep doing this, Cassie!" he hissed between his teeth, trying to staunch the bleeding.

"Says who?"

He looked at me. "ME!" he shouted. Everyone looked over at us.

"What's going on, Tron?" Dad looked at us. I looked at Tron, shaking my head, my eyes filling with tears.

"I'm trying to tell Cassie something, but she won't listen to me." He looked at me, straight in the eyes. "She's pretty stubborn!"

Dad nodded, obviously not convinced. "Alright. I'm going to go reboot Anon right now. Then we'll figure out how to get everyone to the Portal." He walked off. Tron looked at me again.

"I'll hide it once. But I catch you doing it again, I'll tell them, no matter how much I love you."

AW I have to say, I did pull a little bit of fluffyness in the ending, but I couldn't think of any other way to do it and the scene was just utterly perfect! Don't you think?

Review! RP! IDK!
