It has been about 10 years now and Branch and Cup are still together having the time of their life, they were on another roll around the park. Cup was rolling faster than branch but he didnt mind, they play a game where branch has to find cup when she goes round a corner which is what is happening now.

Cup rolled around the corner and Branch slowly followed behind when he heard this awful sound of a child having a tantrum and screaming. He could feel the child stomping on the ground. When he turned the corner he saw what he only sees in his worst nightmare. The child was stomping on cup. He could hear as each piece of pottery was being smashed against the gravel floor and could hear the terrified cries of Cup.

C- HELP ME BRANCH!!!

Branch rolled as fast as he could to Cup but he wasn't fast enough.

There she was lying on the ground, shattered pieces of her all along the gravel, she knew she wasn't going to make it.

C (whispering)- Branch i know i'm not going to make it. Just know i will be waiting and i will love you for all time.

B- wait dont go yet please. I cant live without you.

C- I'm sorry there is nothing i can do. I love yo.............

Branch picked up all the pieces of her and was trying to get her back together. He knew it was no use but he wanted to try. Eventually he just gave up and was left there sobbing and cradling the broken pieces of his deceased girlfriend in his twig arms.

He was angry that the child didn't even care about what he did and how much it effected branch. But Branch was also feeling guilty that he didn't help quicker.
