Continue His Game (HFJONE Host Liam AU, Updated when motivated lmao)

Chapter 5: Guilt | Charlotte

"..and I'm sorry...."

...

He was gone and replaced by the Plane. The green grass of this world, a horrid reminder of what I went through.. and died for.

I can't take this anymore

I fall apart, losing control of myself. As I fall to my knees, I start punching the ground until my hands start blistering. My rage, sadness, confusion took hold of me and held me tight. The wish of letting me rest in death was taken from me. I burst out crying, nothing else mattered. I curl up, my tears stain the dying grass as I take in the emotions.

I felt a soft hand on my shoulder.

She pulled me closer and hugged me.

"I..I'm so.. sorry, Amelia."

Her warm smile greeted me when I looked up, she became the brightness in my heart.

"It's okay."

I pulled her closer, shaking, I started sobbing again. She comforted me, pulled me out of my emotions. The feelings start to dissipate while I remain in her arms. I look out, I see my friends, Tray and Bryce, shock and comfort in their eyes. Despite the desolation of the Plane, the people are what makes it home.

I wipe my tears off my face while I look at the others and began to ask,

"How?"

Amelia's comforting smile faltered, her voice wavering. She was holding herself together by a thread, waiting to snap. She was forcing a smile for me. But underneath it, she's lost in the abyss, just like me.

"L.. li..."

She slumps her head and looks away, sitting in front of me. She couldn't bring herself to say the name.

Liam. He brought me back.

"H... he's starting the.. competition, again."

Then she was holding back sobs, trying to stay put together. I didn't know how to feel either, Liam, a contestant, he abandoned us. Despite all the times he, Amelia, and Bryce, wanted out of the competition, he came back just to fuck with us.

Amelia has been the one keeping the others company for a long time, though I never thought how much she bundled up for everyone else.

She never was the one being comforted.

This whole time I've been venting about my fear, I've never thought of her own. I try to look at Amelia with a smile I haven't used in a long time.

"You don't have to reassure us anymore, you can be happy too."

"I promise that, on my life."

A smile, a real smile appeared on her face. The Plane flowed around me, making it not seem so bad anymore. This time I will help you, Amelia. Not the other way round, like last time. Even if I'm not good with this kind of stuff.

"So whenever you're ready tell me Amelia."

"Tell me what happend, and I'll guide you through it."

A sad but competent smile is placed on Amelia's face, she takes a breath, and begins..

———————— 2 years prior ————————

"AMELIA?!"

"AMEL-"

This isn't the Plane.

This is my home.

I see my living room, it's not exactly the same but, it's a definite resemblance. My kitchen is placed back a bit, and the home is bigger than I remember. Although, there was one big difference. There were 2 couches, and a table with a radio on top of it. I reach out for it, investigating what it is..

The front door creaks open.

"Who's there!"

I turn around with urgency to see my door open with nobody there. My body relaxes, I walk up to my front door to see someone standing on the sidewalk waving to me.

Parker.

...

I slam the door shut.

I lay my back behind the door, my chest pounding. I slowly move to the radio. I move the knob to the right. Numbers pass by as if the radio had an indefinite amount of channels. All were static.

I leave the radio, and place myself on the couch.

Thinking, waiting, and processing.

For a very long time.

...

...

...

You need to apologize to him.

You should apologize to him.

I slowly get up, carefully moving to the front door once more. I hesitantly twist the doorknob, opening it.

I peek through the crack in the door, Parker stands there patiently, there waiting for me, I take a step towards him.

...

"Parker..! i-I never thought I'd see you again."

He said nothing but gave out a small smile.

"I said horrible things to you, and-"

I let out a short, exasperated breath.

"I won't ever expect your forgiveness."

"But I won't ever forget your kindness, Parker"

He gives a little gesture to come closer.

I shut my eyes, giving myself a moment to collect my thoughts.

"And.. I'm sor-"

I opened my eyes, and he was gone.
