*Wednesday POV*
After the funeral, Tyler and I went back into the woods. We wanted to set up a kind of memorial for everyone who didn't survive. It was already dark. We just kept quiet, no one really knew how to continue. When we got to where I fought with the Hyde, well actually with Sara, we lit candles. We brought lanterns, fairy lights, everything. We wanted to embellish the forest with these terrible memories, for the love of those who lost their lives in this ugly place. We also had black balloons with us. Each one has a note with their name on it. We let one after the other rise into the dark night sky. He took my hand.
We suddenly heard a noise coming from the forest. Tyler's father's dog came to us. We all thought he'd taken off. He was actually in the police car, but somehow, he got out of there. I don't know if that makes sense, but the dog looked sad. He looked at us and seemed to ask, "Where is he?"
We took him to Sheriff Galpin's grave. He lay down on the tombstone and he fell asleep. Me and Tyler decided to spend the night there as well. We lay on the grass, we still said nothing to each other. I fell asleep in his arms.
In the morning we were woken up by Enid and Ajax.

Enid: There you are. We've been looking for you everywhere, come with us, we finally have to pack everything up. We are the last.

We went with them. The dog followed us.
First we went to Tyler, he started to pack all his things. It was an uncomfortable feeling to be here. He packed the dress and the suit in an extra suitcase, the rings were in a smaller bag. Nobody knew what will happen to the house. We all watched it one last time, and then we drove to Nevermore. It was almost empty, most of them left a day ago. We all went to our rooms, Tyler came with us, and we started packing.

Enid: "I never want to go here again. I want a fresh start."
Wednesday: "Me too. We'll get that too. My parents wrote to me that two apartments have become vacant near my hometown, they are right next to each other...I thought maybe...?

Before I could say anything, Enid yelled in my ear and hugged me tight. I had to smile. Thing also packed his..well..his few belongings. After an hour the room was completely empty. We went down with all the things where the others were already waiting for us. Unfortunately I missed Bianca, but I wrote her a message thanking her from the bottom of my heart for everything. Everyone was about to say goodbye when I broke the news. That was also a reason for the depressing mood, nobody knew what was going to happen with all of us. I saw a big smile on every face. We stuffed all of our stuff in Tyler's car. I took Tyler's hand, Enid took Ajax's hand, and Thing was on my shoulder. We all looked again at Nevermore.
I felt a love-hate relationship. I've made a best friend through this school, I've met Tyler, I've completely changed. I feel a lot of positive things on the one Hand. But I also lost a lot, people died because of me. Because of me, Tyler's father died. I thought about Eugene while he was in the hospital, and the guilt wracked me. I am forever grateful that he survived. I sent him the address of the apartment so he can come visit us whenever he wants.
I looked at each other's faces, we were all smiling, but we also had tears in our eyes. We looked at each other, nodded and then made our way to Tyler's car.
We were ready to leave. We all will finally be clean.
