Sparks | A NeonxReader story

Chapter 32

Neon's P.O.V.:

I was still screaming and crying at the top of my lungs to no one in particular. Reyna had gotten away, and killed a mentor, a friend, and someone who was like a mother to me. 

I was feeling every possible negative emotion: Fear, anger, sadness, regret, hopelessness. . . 

I stopped yelling and screaming, and tried to process what has been happening, I was still in shock. I then felt I hand on my shoulder, I look up to see Gekko.

"Hey it's going to be okay", he said. 

His words only made me more angry. I pushed his hand of my shoulder.

"Okay? How is everything going to be okay?! Tell me!", I yelled at him, to which he couldn't answer. 

 I turned around to see Reyna standing around y/n. I had completely forgotten about him in that moment, and I dashed towards him, being by his side in and instant. 

He looked awful, not that I haven't seen him like this before, but that didn't change how I was still afraid that he could die. 

Then a new fear arose in me: If he died, he would be dead forever. He had burns everywhere, and then he had blood rushing out of his chest. 

"Get someone, Reyna! Do something!", I looked up at her, tears in my eyes and nothing but desperation. 

"Please, help me!", I yelled. 

She then called for the emergency medics, which always came with us on missions just in case. I took his hand and looked at his burnt face, black with soot and dirt. I waited until the medics got here, who took him in a stretcher, and Sage, in a bag. 

The journey home was  silent, I still couldn't quite comprehend what just happened. Sage was gone. She was always there for us when we needed her, and now when she needed us, we couldn't be there for her, we couldn't resurrect the dead. Only she could do that. 

What a shitty mission, Sage was dead, and y/n was in critical condition. On the way to Headquarters his heart stopped three separate times, and each time it did, mine stopped too. 

When we got there, Skye was waiting, so was Brimstone. Skye immediately took y/n with the medics, Gekko and Reyna left with their heads down, probably just as shocked as I was. When I got out, I just looked at the ground and walked past Brimstone, not wanting to talk to him, or anyone. 

Brimstone's P.O.V.:

I walked up to the ship, seeing the bag that I'd been forced to see hundreds of times. 

'Please Lord, not again. Don't make me see it again' I begged to Christ that what was in front of me was just a product of my imagination, but I knew in my heart, it was real. 

I opened the bag, seeing her face, her eyes still open. I looked away, as I felt the same feeling. I've seen several of my friends like this, and every one hurt the same, it never stopped hurting. 

I looked back, and closed her eyes so that she may rest. 

"You did good, you can rest now", I said as I put the bag back over her, and started walking away. 

"I'm sorry", I muttered before I finally walked away from her, leaving a part of me behind.
