Drift and Prime find (Y/N) as she sits by a cliff. They do all they can to convince her not to jump. One move Prime does might have stopped her, or as Ratchet explains, once they get (Y/N) to Ratchet, she passed out from malnutrition, but she'll be ok - as everyone sees how slow (Y/N)'s heart is beating. (Y/N) dreams being with Dino and Sideswipe, who try to convince her not to end her life for them. A little time passes before Prime finally tells (Y/N) how he feels.
Warning: Suicide attempt.
Song: My Final Chapter by Serenity.
Drift's P.O.V.
Bumblebee meets up with Prime and me as we drive to the nearest cliffs from the junkyard.
(Y/N) sits at the edge of the cliff, blood going down her arm. It's horrifying to think she believes this is the way, but I also think of our other human friend.
Thank Primus, you're not here, Jamie.
The others join us, and we transform.
"I know you're behind me," (Y/N) says before we even approach her.
"Please, (Y/N), I know you miss Dino and Sideswipe; we all do, but please don't do this to yourself."
"Why not? Give me one reason why I shouldn't."
Hurting yourself in their name won't bring them back."
"No, it has to be done."
"Why?" Ironhide asks.
"Because I'm a waste of space, a waste of everyone's time! I can't take the pain anymore!"
"No, you're not," Cade speaks up, "you're like family."
(Y/N) stands up and faces us; it hurts seeing how bloody she is, all the cuts she gave herself.
"That's not going to change anything! I'll continue to be a burden to everyone."
This is way too familiar to me.
Optimus Prime's P.O.V.
I know I'm taking a risk I might regret; I activate my holoform and walk slowly towards (Y/N)
"I'm sorry for Humans making life a hell for you guys," (Y/N) says when I'm three feet from her.
"It's not your fault, (Y/N)—."
"Yes, it is! You've all done so much for Earth, and how do we repay you? By killing your kind! It's better I'm gone!"
Without thinking, I kiss (Y/N). I do like her, but I haven't told her yet.
(Y/N)' s P.O.V.
I can't believe Prime is kissing me. He wouldn't if he didn't like me as I like him.
*Oh, stop telling yourself lies and get it over with!*
I can't move to pull away and jump.
Optimus Prime's P.O.V.
I don't know if (Y/N) will continue to yell at me or still jump when I end this kiss, but I feel she's enjoying this. I dread ending the kiss, unprepared to watch (Y/N) pass out into my arms.
"She needs to see Ratchet," Hound insists.
I deactivate my holoform, transform, and reactivate my holoform. Cade helps me get (Y/N) on the passager seat though I feel like she's not going to wake up soon.
Everyone hates hearing how (Y/N)'s poor eating and self-harm has caught up to her.
"She won't die, but I don't think she'll wake up until tomorrow," Ratchet explains before preparing the treatment (Y/N) needs.
I hope your right, Ratchet.
I dread seeing her decreased heart rate.
Here I lay all alone
It's my final chapter
Close to you
Close to reach the only one I ever loved
Your fields so green, your bluest sky
Beneath the deepest water
My everything
It's time to die
(Y/N)' s Dream
I don't remember going to a field and falling asleep.
*They knocked you out and tossed you away like the trash you are.*
"(Y/N)?"
That voice...
"S-Sideswipe?"
He sighs, "I'm sorry it's just a dream, but...I hate you want to die, (Y/N)."
"I-I can't live knowing my race is hurting yours. They killed you and Dino."
"I understand that you're going through a lot right now, and that might be messing with your mind, with your thoughts. But you have to realize, this will all go away in time."
"What if this is who I am, forever?"
"I know it's hard," Dino says as he joins Sideswipe and me, "we've watched many fall during the war on our home planet. It's hard to go on when we know that's what our fallen comrades would want."
"You have friends who care about you. Do you think Prime kissed you to shut you up? You know he wouldn't do something like that."
"No, I can't leave you two again!"
I hug Sideswipe and cry.
Ratchet's P.O.V.
I watched tears roll down (Y/N) 's face; he's dreaming. I've read sometimes people under anesthesia have vivid dreams of being with people they've lost, but I didn't think it would work for someone who's depressed. Though, in a way, it is logical; a war is going on in (Y/N) 's mind.
(Y/N) did wake up the next morning. She is in no hurry to leave, which is fine; I'm keeping her here for at least three days. Though I'm not using restraints like doctors normally would. I am limiting visitors. We're unfortunately used to this, but not this bad.
One week later
Optimus Prime's P.O.V.
I watch Bee's holoform hug (Y/N), but she refuses to return the hug. I dread she feels like a prisoner, but we now watch her most of the day. The only time she's alone is when she's in the bathroom or getting dressed.
I have (Y/N) sit with my holoform on the roof of a carport.
"What didn't you let me die? Look at the burden I am, watching me all the time," (Y/N) asks as tears roll down her face.
"You are not a burden. You and Cade have reminded us there are still good humans here," I explain as I hug her, "you helped us fight those drones. We all care about you. I...care about you. More than you know. More than I'm willing to admit, and that will never change."
I pull her in for a kiss. Again, (Y/N) melts into it, but this time she wraps her arms around me.
Drift's P.O.V.
"I saw that coming," I comment.
"Oh, yeah, he's been waiting all week to tell her and kiss her again."
I wish you understand how much we care about you (Y/N). Prime even loves you even though he's seen you at your lowest.
