"NICK!" Karl screams, catching me off guard and instantly jumping up into my arms when I turn around to face him.

"Baby, I thought I lost you." He chokes on his words, placing a kiss onto my cheek.

I gasp in shock, but instantly hug him back when it hits me. He cries, cries and mutters a million inaudible sentences into my ear but I can't seem to understand any of it.

God, Fuck, I'm so glad he's okay. We got hurt, we all did. We lost friends, family and some lost their other halves, but after everything that happened, I'm still glad atleast he is okay.

It hurts. It all hurts alot, but seeing Karl really helped me a lot, because I know that he's not hurt. Not physically, at least. We're all hurt, people got traumatised in this.

"Shh, Shh, it's okay, baby." I hug him tightly, playing with him hair. "I'm sorry, love. I'm so sorry for what you saw, for what happened, for what you witnessed I'm sorry for all of it that you won't understand I'm so so—"

"It's not your fault." He takes my hand, holding it tightly in his and intertwining his fingers with mine. "None of this is your fault, darling, don't you try to blame yourself and I am so sorry for your loss."

I pull him in for a hug, he rests his face in my chest. "We all die one day, don't we?" Tears start flowing out of my eyes silently, I don't want to worry Karl.

"Don't say that." He pulls away, staring at my red face with tears staining both our cheeks. "Don't say that, baby. I can't think of losing anymore people today."

"Shut up, you're not losing anyone." I kiss him smack on the lips, ruffling his hair as I pull away. "Im just so fucking happy you're okay."

"Nick..." he shook his head. "I want to say it back, im glad you're okay but I am anything but happy right now."

"That came out wrong." I point my finger at his face. "I love you, baby. But I'm—" I pause, not remembering the right words. "I'm fucking ruined, baby." My voice breaks, tears start to flow out again. "I can't—"

He grabs a fistful of my shirt and pulls me down to him, roughly kissing my lips, our tears staining our faces.

"When we get the fuck out of here, the first thing I'm gonna do is marry you." He cups my face.

"Karl, i—" I bite down on my lip. "Baby, you know I love you and I really, really want to marry you but can we please put this down for a few months. Karl, I'm fucking ruined I feel like some part of me is dead and I can barely—"

He kisses me again, shutting me up once more.

"I love you, baby, you know that." He looks up into my eyes, I can't tell if he's frowning or smiling. "And I will respect your decisions, no matter what. And I'm happy you spoke your mind and I am so sorry for everything that has been happening and I am so sorry for your l—"

"Let's just not talk about that right now, yeah?" I place a kiss onto his hand. "Are you hurt?"

"No, not rea—"

"YOU MOTHERFUCKERS I WILL MURDER ALL OF YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS!" a loud yell can be heard from behind me, I turn around to see Alex and the others marching at Karl and I.

His first reaction is to pick Karl up into his arms and swing him around whilst crying, barely letting my poor fiancé breathe.

"Hey, take it easy." I tell him, snatching him away and pulling him towards myself instead into a big hug.

He hugs me back with zero hesitation, instantly weeping into my arms.

"Man, I—" he sniffles. "He's gone, man."
