Survivors Guilt

No Witnesses

(Y/n) (l/n) lay asleep in his bed before suddenly jolting awake when he heard a knock on his front door. "(Y/n)? I brought your groceries" Sara Cruz's voice came faintly from the outside the apartment.

"I'm coming!" he called, the loud sound worsening his headache, as he slowly sat up and got out of bed. He slowly walked out of his bedroom and to the front door before unlocking it and pulling it open. "Hi"

"Hey" Sara smiled as she entered the apartment and (y/n) closed the door behind her. "I got food" she spoke as she held up the bags in her hands.

"Thanks" (y/n) nodded as he yawned and watched as Sara walked to the kitchen and started putting the food away.

The two were silent for a moment before Sara spoke up as she finished putting the food away. "I decided to get you some healthier stuff this time" she said as she closed the cabinet.

(Y/n) frowned but nodded as he walked over to the counter and sat on it. "I both hate you and thank you for that"

"Your welcome" Sara smiled as she turned to the boy. "Need anything else while I'm here?"

"No" (y/n) shook his head as he walked over to the cabinet and pulled out a bag of... something that looked like it came from one of those weird healthy food stores. He opened the bag and started eating. "You can go"

Sara frowned but nodded. "Alright. Would you mind going over and checking on Jess tomorrow?I want to make sure she actually gets out of bed"

"No" (y/n) quickly shook his head, causing Sara to frown. "I felt like someone was following me all the time I walked there. I'm not leaving the house unless I have to or unless you drive me"

Sara frowned but didn't argue with the boy. He'd see eventually that there wasn't really anything to fear. "Alright... fine. I'll be on my way then"

"Adios" (y/n) followed the girl to the door and opened it again for her.

"Bye" Sara replied before walking out, the boy closed the door a moment later.

The boy sighed, rubbing his forehead as he walked away from the door and he resumed eating.

Once he finished eating (y/n) threw the bag away before walking back to his bedroom. He looked out the window just in time to see Sara start driving away.

He quickly walked to his bed and collapsed onto it before staring at one of the pictures on his wall, one of him, Jessica, and Sky. It was an old picture, back from their time in school. Just looking at his now dead friend was enough to make the boy feel the need to throw up, and that was before he even thought back to her death.

He hadn't even gotten to go to her funeral. He had missed that while in the hospital.

(Y/n) closed his eyes, trying not to experience it all again but instead to just fall asleep. It didn't work.

"Yes, yes I know we promised no witnesses" The killer paced around his apartment as he talked to the man on the other side of the phone. "Well it's a bit late for that now isn't it?"

He was silent for a moment as he listened to the yelling on the other side of the phone. "Don't worry. We were careful. The police weren't even able to identify the body you hired us to bury" he was silent yet again.

"No, they were to scared to have been able to memorize the specifics of how I look, they had a basic idea but nothing detailed, the police don't know who to look for. It's basic psychology" the man walked to his table and picked up the gun. "But... odds are if for some reason they see me again they'll realize it's me. So I'm going to take them out"

He was silent yet again as he listened. "Yes sir" he spoke as he hung up the phone before putting it in his pocket. He picked up his gun before attaching the silencer and turning the safety on. He put it in his pocket before walking over to his computer.

It would take a while to track down the two who had managed to make it out alive but he was sure he could do it. He had access to the internet after all, with that you could do just about anything in this day and age.

The man was about to start a thorough search when he realized he didn't have to. News articles exist.

He quickly opened google and started typing. "Murder in forest outside Portland, Oregon. Two survivors" he quickly searched it as he said it and low and behold there were many articles which he guessed would have all the information he needed.

"Here we go" he clicked on the first article he could find before quickly skimming though it. "Jessica Cruz... and (y/n) (l/n). That was easy"

He quickly memorized the names before googling the first one, the girl who and ran and in turn distracted him enough that the boy was able to take down and kill the other killer. He'd make the boy regret missing when he had shot at him before he finally finished him off too.
