Candy Paint--a Willy's Wonderland FanFic

Chapter 19

Alright, the final chapter has arrived :) I thank all of you for your unconditional support, and can't wait to hear from you all again soon! This chapter is also REALLY long lol. I'll end up making a sequel sooner or later. Hopefully a second movie will be released, but if not, I'll just make my own story line ig. Thanks again @qwertuno and @cakeystoryteller for helping me out with ideas and quotes, y'all are amazing <3

"Well, that was interestin'," Willy spoke, standing next to me. Wasting no more time, I quickly took him in my arms, hugging tightly.

"I'm alive," I breathed. Willy hugged me back. I trembled slightly, still trying to get a feel for my muscles again. The feeling in my hands returned, as I was able to feel Willy's back.

"Vic, are you okay? We should get you somewhere with food, you're super pale," Liv spoke, meeting my eyes.

"Ya' need sleep, too," Willy added, "Are you feelin' okay?"

He pulled away to look at me.

"I'm okay, could be better, but I shouldn't complain right now," I replied, wiping my eyes.

"You poor thing, no one should have to go though what you just went through," Sara spoke.

"Thanks Sara," I replied as everyone gathered around.

"You should get Luke to drive, you look like you're about to be sick," Gus mentioned.

"Luke doesn't even have his permit," I replied, catching a glimpse of Luke. His eyes were glued to where the beam had disappeared from. "You okay Luke?"

"They're gone," Luke spoke, "My family is gone,"

I was a little taken back by that statement.

"I'm right here, angel, what-" I went to reply.

"It's not like I'm not upset about this too, you know," Luke interrupted, beginning to cry. I walked over to him slowly. "You out of all people should know how it feels to be overshadowed,"

"What are you talking about?" I asked, bending down to meet his level.

"Dote on Vic all you want, but remember that I just had my family ripped away from me, so it's not like I'm not in a state of shock either," Luke screamed, crying. I hugged Luke tightly, even though he tried to push me away. Eventually, he did accept the gesture. He's just tired. He's been through a lot these past few days, cut him some slack.

"Luke, they're not your family, they never were," I whispered softly.

"They were more of a family than I've ever-"

"Don't speak like that. I know very well how you're feeling, how it feels to have a comradery with a group, but they were bad people. You're not a bad person," I interrupted.

"I know Vic, I'm sorry, I just don't know what happened," Luke continued to cry. I watched as Sara bent down to hug Luke too, trying to comfort him.

"You're a very brave boy, Luke," She spoke. The others soon joined in the group hug, trying to comfort Luke.

"You have a very kind heart. Don't let people use it to manipulate you," Arty spoke from the back of the hug. I nodded my head in agreement.

"Vic, what am I supposed to do? I literally am bound to them forever," Luke panicked suddenly, showing me the symbol engraved on the back of his right hand. I backed off from the hug, trying to weave my way under Willy's arm. Everyone else was soon to break off from the hug after that.
