HEATH'S POV:

No.

No.

No…

This was something I was definitely not expecting, nor didn't even want to happen. Eve, heavily heaving and trying to keep her emotions back, watched Matt groan in agony and press against the wound with both hands. I pushed my emotions back and started over towards him.

"Come on, we're getting out of here." I grabbed Matt and began to pull him up, but he let out a yelp and fell back down. "Dammit man, come on!" I yelled. Matt slowly tried to get himself up, but again, he yelped and fell back down.

"Eve, stand back, I got this!" I yelled. I then proceeded to forcefully pull Matt up to his feet and drape his arm over my shoulder, and he screamed in agonizing pain while doing so. "Come on, we need to find Eli now!" I yelled as I began to drag Matt out.

I noticed the bandits had apparently disappeared, or might've died or something. I just wanted to get Matt out of here. "Eve, stay close, and see if you can get the car radio on or something!" Eve nodded and dashed to the car while I sat Matt down on the steps. "Matt, you're going to be ok."

Matt shook his head. "Just go…" He said through pained breaths.

"No, I'm not losing you right after Beth went missing!" I nearly screamed. "You got a wife who needs you!" Matt nodded his head. "I know.."

"Eve, you got the radio up yet?!" I yelled. "No, I don't!" Eve yelled back, her voice cracking. I turned back towards Matt, who had begun to drift off.

"Matt!" I yelled, and shook him. Matt looked at me again and grabbed my shoulder, leaving a bloody mark on my jacket. "Heath, don't let me turn..."

"Shut the hell up!" I yelled. "You're going to be fucking fine!"

"Heath, look at the wound…" Matt said. I ran back to Pierce's body to grab my knife, and I proceeded to cut open Matt's hoodie to look at the wound.

There was a legitimate hole in his gut.

I just barely held back vomit as I turned away from the mess of blood and exposed organs and back towards Eve. My eyes eventually met Matt's complexion, and noticed his increasingly pale skin. It was like he was getting the color sucked out of him.

"Heath, it started!" Eve yelled. "Fuck yes!" I yelled back and grabbed Matt, who screamed again in pain, along with letting out a really long 'fuck'. We approached the car as Eve got the back seat open.

I felt a sharp pain on my hand and I ended up dropping Matt, who seethed in pain. I looked at my hand and realized he had bitten my hand in order to get free of me. "Matt, come the hell on!" My face fell when Matt literally couldn't move. "Dammit Matt, please!" I yelled, on the verge of tears.

I fell to my knees as Eve sat sobbing in the passenger's seat. "God dammit, it's all my fault…" I mumbled. I felt Matt tug my shirt, and I briefly looked up to see him remove his beanie. That beanie, that beanie that he wore almost everyday and I've never seen him without it. "Give this to Leon…"

"Dammit man, stay with me!" I yelled in desperation. Matt grabbed my shoulder and whispered to me:

"One day, your life will flash before your eyes…" Matt began. "Make sure it's worth watching..."

His breathing stopped, and I let his body slump against the tree. I hesitated, but I knew what I had to do.

My vision blurry, I took Matt's pistol and aimed at his head. "So long buddy…"

And I fired.

ITS FINALLY. FUCKING. DONE.

I started this back in 2015, and it took me until 1/30/17 to finish this entire thing! Nearly two years!

But I soldiered on, and got it done just in time to have what is, in my opinion, one of the most devastating deaths in my fanfiction career.

And now, same as last time, let's say goodbye, to those we lost.
