Asher POV:

Darker... Darker... Darker... And darker... Is it just me or is the world getting darker each step I take. What did I do to deserve this torture... Nothing in here makes sense... The artifacts... Hans jumping... Kate kissing me... I wish I could just kill myself.

The street lights flickered and it started to rain. Fog slowly filled up the city.

If I yell help. Will anyone come... Hans why... I know... I'll just drink since I got nothing left to lose.

I walked to the nearest bar and sat at the table. The bartender stared at me and gave a little shrug and asked what I wanted to drink.

I told him to give me the strongest alcohol he had and he did as I told.

I took a sip and my eyes started twitching. The alcohol tasted disgusting. It burned my throat too, but that didn't stop me.

I took a shot

And another one

And another one

And another one

And another one

And another one

... And another one

........ And another one

............. And........ Another one

.......................... And-

I covered my mouth and ran outside. I violently vomited and I grasped my throat. It was burning like hell. The pain wouldn't go away, but... I deserve this... Because I wasn't able to help Hans...

I start sobbing.

BAM! Thunder was heard loud and clear.

More....... I need more..... Heh...hehe......hehehehehe..... What am I doing...

I was struggling to walk. I then walked into an alley corner and I collapsed on garbage backs. Flies swarmed me.

Yes... This is how I should end.... I'm garbage.... No one will ever have tge patience and heart to help me... I'm just a homeless boy they would think... Oh whatever. I'm so sorry Kate... Aunt Liz... Hans....... Dad...

I passed out...

Kate POV:

Why... I'm so stupid why did I kiss Asher ughhh... He was obviously not in the mood... I kinda don't regret it. His lips were so soft, and warm... I need to tell him I'm sorry.

Oh no. I hope I'm not sick... This rain- ahhhh!!

The wind picked up and started to get stronger and stronger. It was about to mess up my umbrella. Rain flung at me knocking me back a little.

No... I don't care... I will find Asher in this rain... Even if I have to go without an umbrella!

I let go of the umbrella and it flew away.

"Asher!!!!!!" I yelled. I didn't expect a response back, but it was worth the shot. I was kinda able to maneuver through the storm. I took small steps.

WHOOOSH!

The strong wind knocked me down. Unfortunately I fell in mud and I was all wet. "Ughh no!! Fine... I still won't give up... You hear me Asher!! I don't give up!!!!!!" I screamed into the raging storm and struggled to stand back up.

Like an alegretto piece the storm starts to speed up. "At this rate, I'm in critical danger... I'm not cut out for this... But as one of Asher's best friends I will do whatever it takes-"

BEEP! BEEEEEEEEP!!!!

A car swerved headed towards me. I had no choice but to jump out the way.

I lunged onto the side and the car crashed into a clothing store.

"Oh Asher... Please be alright...." I started feeling light headed and heavy.

I fell on the sidewalk and struggled to get up. It was so cold. The ice cold rain stabbing every part of me... I started crawling but I didn't get far.

"Asher... Asher please come back to me.... Asher please!!!!!-" my words were muffled under my sobs... I was so helpless...... I couldn't think anymore.....

I passed out...
