I won't leave, I can't hide, I cannot be,
Until you're resting here with me
I don't want to call my friends,
They might wake me from this dream,
And I can't leave this bed,
Risk forgetting all that's been

Chapter 3 – All Good Things Comes To an End

Leo Corbett silently entered the quarters Kendrix used to share with Maya when she was alive.

He froze at the doorstep, viewing the room silently. Half of the room screamed Kendrix loud and clear; little things, many things – everything that was hers stood out within the room. Leo swallowed a lump that formed in his throat.

She was gone and she wasn't coming back.

That knowledge hurt him so deeply within his heart and soul – he felt as if half of him died right along with Kendrix. She was the woman who had captured his heart and kept it for all eternity. When she died, his heart went along with her.

He slowly stepped into the quiet room. Maya wasn't anywhere since she was with the others mourning their lost friend – comrade. He needed to be alone. He needed to be with Kendrix in anyway possible and if her room with her stuff was the closest he was going to get, well then he was going to be there – no matter what.

Leo glanced at Kendrix's bed – it was neatly done with a pink bear lying on top of her pillow. A small smile crept upon his lips as he stared at the pink bear. It was a gift he had given her a while back when she was eating a plate of nachos; ironically, she had named it after the food - 'Mr. Nacho'. A tear slipped down his cheek as he walked closer to the bed, sitting down on it.

He stared silently at the bear on top of the pillow before reaching out to it with a trembling hand. He allowed his fingers to stroke the bear's fur softly for a moment before grasping it within his hands to bring it closer to him. Tears continued to fall from his eyes as he hugged the pink bear close. Kendrix had loved the bear so much, every time she was in her room, it never left her side – she even slept with it at night. More tears fell.

A sob broke through from his lips as he lay down on the bed, hugging the stuffed bear to his chest. His body shook with tears, with pain, with loss. He was so lost without her; how could he even consider imagining his life without her.

Who was going to go and reprimand him for his wrongs? Who was going to come and sit near him and just be there for him when he was down? Who was going to hug him and soothe him in his time of need? Who was going to be there to tell him how much they loved him and wanted to be with him?

Who was going to be there for the proposal he was going to give?

Leo moved a hand away from the bear he was clutching; he moved it towards one of his pant pockets, pulling out a small black box. He brought it up to his tear streaked face. "Why did you have to leave me Kendrix?" he whispered to himself. "I wanted to spend my life with you…"

His eyes closed rapidly in anguish. "Damn it Kendrix! You can't leave me here alone." His lips trembled with each word he yelled out to the room. There was no one to answer him.

He was alone.

Mike Corbett stood outside the quarters that used to be Kendrix's, watching inside through the doors that were left open by the person who was currently occupying the room. His face was covered in tears. It was a sad day.

He swallowed hard as he heard his little brother sobbing within the room before him; it hurt him so much to hear his younger brother in so much pain and he wasn't able to do anything to stop it.

Mike wanted to run inside the room and gather his little brother within his arms and soothe him, protect him – but he pushed down the urge. Leo needed to be alone; he needed to mourn Kendrix in his own way, by himself. He knew that, understood that – but it didn't stop him from feeling the urge to be with him.

He couldn't help but feel fear as he listened to his brother's sobs as tears of his own fell from his eyes silently. He leaned closer to a wall, laying his forehead upon it. He may not be able to get close to his brother now, but he would be as close as he could get – he wouldn't leave him completely alone in his time of need.

His mourning can wait. His pain at losing a woman he consider a younger sister to him will wait. He has to be strong for his younger brother – he needs him instead.

He already lost one sibling in one day to death; he doesn't want to lose another one to pain.

Mike closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath before opening them up. He lifted an arm up to his face, wiping away the tears with the sleeves of his shirt. He won't cry for now – he has to be strong.

Not only for Leo but for the others; Damien, Kai, Maya - they all need him too. They were all his younger siblings in one way or another – and he would rather live in hell than see any of them suffer alone.

He has to be strong for them.
