I ride my (or Alex's) greyish, beautiful horse through the forest. My tears are being dried away by the wind blowing and the leaves soaring. I keep riding. I pass the forest. I pass the bridge. I tie my horse to a tree and continue by walking. As I walk on and on, I finally see rocks and sand in front of me. I run up to the end and hop on the highest one. I stare across the sea. "COME BACK JOHN!" I yell. Tears start running down my face for the 4th time today. "I NEED YOU! PLEASE!" I cry. I look across at the sunset and collapse to the floor. "I..I love you." I whisper. I lay down looking up at the dark sky and wipe my tears. I scream loudly. I stand up and look down at the lake. "Y/n!" I hear from behind me. Thomas runs over to me and holds my hand. I look away. "I know you're sad about John. But it'll be okay. We'll get through-
"No Thomas. Everyone was always trying to look after me. When I'm still grown up now anyway. And John would do that but he was the fun guy! He was the forgiving, laid-back brother. And now..and now..he's dead.." He pulls me towards him and gives me a sad look. I stare at him and say "I'm sorry. I can't be happy anymore Thomas Jefferson. It's better if I live on my own." I tell him apologetically. As I turn to walk away, he says "Y/n! But I'm here! And John wouldn't like you being like this over his death. I didn't know him that well but he would've told you to move on and handle this the right way. And the best way to handle it is by getting through it with us. And not hide from us." He says putting his hand on my shoulder. I look down at the floor. Maybe I should listen to him. I run into his arms and cry into his magenta coat. "I'm sorry! I miss him so much!" I cry. He looks into the distance anxiously and then at me. "It's okay. Don't worry about it." He reassures me. We hug for hours on end.
