THE EMERGENCY DOCTORS ENTERED the abandoned house, and were met by the shocking scenery of the group, most of them lying on the floor unconsciously. However, one of them was dead. 

The doctors soon began their work. They wrapped those who were awake, Finn, Mal, Pilot (who was barely functioning), in shock blankets, assuring them that everything was going to be alright. Then they tried to bring the air back into Saoirse's body.

But quickly figured out that it would be useless, since she was already dead.

As soon as the group reached the hospital, they were checked for physical injuries. The doctors told Mal that Finn had a concussion, and that he needed to rest for a few days.

"C-Can I ask about someone in this hospital ? His name is Oakes Fegley, he's my boyfriend, where is he ?"

The nurse suddenly looked pale.

"What, what happened ? Is he okay ?" Mal gulped in fear, her heart pounding.

"I'm so sorry to tell you that.. Oakes had died a few hours ago."

The news hit the girl like a locomotive.

"W-What ? How, why ?!" She questioned, mostly at herself.

If she hadn't left the hospital that time, maybe he would still be alive right now. She thought immediately.

The girl then began to tear up, sobbing in distress and grief.

"You're lying ! This can't be real !" She yelled, clearly heartbroken.

"I'm so sorry, miss. But I'm telling the truth." 

The nurse paused for a moment, reaching to touch the girl's shoulder as if trying to console her.

"He's in a better place now, don't worry."

Mal nodded, and asked for some time alone before her family come to see her. She needed some time to think.

Oakes' death was definitely not an accident.

- One Week Later -

His funeral was filled with his friends, his family, and some of his classmates. Mal stood in the corner, crying hysterically.

Adam was on her side, holding her hand and trying to calm her down, as their mother specifically told him to do so. Mal's siblings were telling Oakes's parents how nice he was. Finn however, was sitting on a small bench, trying to stop himself from breaking down.

"I'm going to go check on Finn. Leave me alone." She spoke, clearly wanting some time on her own. Adam nodded and gave her a peck on her forehead. 

"Okay. Talk to me if you need anything."

As soon as he left, Mal got up and walked slowly towards her friend, sitting right next to him. Finn looked up, and noticed her. He then hugged her tightly, trying to stop the tears streaming down his face.

"It's okay."

She ran her hand through his curly hair gently.

"We're going to get through this."

The funeral ended a few hours later. Mal bid her goodbyes to Oakes's family, and left with her own. 

As they were walking back to the restaurant, they stopped by a newspaper shop, because something caught Mal's sad eyes.

A title on a seemingly very popular newspaper. She took out the newspaper from the stand, and went in to give the owner its money.

Then stopped just outside the shop to read the title that caught her eyes.

OAKES FEGLEY, TIMOTHEE CHALAMET AND SAOIRSE RONAN'S DEATH. AN ACCIDENT ?

THE END
