I could hear Peyton talking. She was saying how sorry she was for cheating on me even though I knew Aaliyah was right there. She was saying how much she loved me.

I couldn't answer her. I wanted to, but I couldn't. I'd tried to save her, and I had, but now she'd forever live thinking I'd died for her. I wanted to say something to her. Make it okay, like she could when I was upset. We'd had such a short time together. It wasn't long enough.

Then the guilt washed over me. I was barely breathing and yet the only emotion I could feel was the guilt from not telling them the truth. What I was and what those three were. Where they were actually going. The camp in itself.

I felt her let go of my hand. I hoped Marcus, Aaliyah, and Luke would be there for her. I hoped they would hold her together. I just wish it could have been me. I wish I could have told her everything before it was too late.
