The One

I'm sorry

*I'll be doing povs of the others
Mia's pov
I told my parents that Hope left us something back in her room at Kara's apartment. We enter her room and I see a recording crystal on her table and a letter for George. I hold onto the letter first. I show it to everyone and we sit in the living room and watch it.

Hope's hologram shows up. I feel the room tense up. I see mom hold dad's hand. I pull William closer to me. I feel him shaking so I rub his shoulder.

"My name is Hope Eloise Alwyn or Hope Alexandra Queen. If you are watching this, it means that I'm already gone. There are a lot of things that I'd want to say but I fear there's not enough time. My family from Earth 13. Mom, dad, Mia, William. I'm sorry I had to leave. I know I promised you guys that I will never leave all of you but I have to. Mom, dad. I'm sorry all I said a while ago was 'I love you' when I should've said good bye also. You guys are the best family I could ask for. Thank you for adopting me and loving me like I was your own. Thank you for teaching me how to grow up to be a good person. Promise me that after this, you'll go back to Earth 13 and live your life to the best and be happy. And to my family in Earth Prime. I wish we had more time together. I'm glad that I was able to meet you guys and spend time with you. Mom and dad. I love you guys and thank you for protecting me. I'm sorry if I was an ass in the beginning. I need you all to do something for me. Promise me that you will stop looking for me. In this way, I could protect you guys. In this way you won't get hurt anymore. I love you all so much. Promise me that all of you will be happy and that you won't let this get in the way of your happiness. As much as I want to promise that I will return, I won't. Not to keep you guys safe. I know you guys will say 'what about you, hope?' haha  but me knowing you guys are safe is enough for me. My safety doesn't matter as long as all of you are safe. I'm sorry I had to leave this way. I love all of you so so much. Always and forever." she says then the recording ends.

We were all quiet. I could hear sniffles and I could see mom crying. Dad pulling mom closer to his chest. Same with Oliver and Kara. I try not to cry but I can't hold it back. I go out to the balcony and I cry. "What about you? How can I go on with life and be happy knowing you're not safe." I say to myself. I sir outside watching the stars when my phone rings. It was George.

"Finally. I've been calling for almost a week. Why weren't any of you answering? I tried calling Hope many times but she wasn't answering. Where are you?" he says. I don't know how to tell him. I cover my mouth to stop myself from crying more and after a few seconds I speak up. "Uhm. Can we meet up? Maybe on Saturday? As our beach house?" I say. "Okay. Is anything wrong? Where's Hope?" he says. "I'll tell you that when we meet." I say and I drop the call. I cry again.

George's pov
I wait for Saturday so I can finally see Hope. She gave me an extrapolator for emergency uses and I thought of using it so no one would see me leave. I told daddy and mummy I'll be back on Monday.

I arrive at the beach house and when I head to the beach, it was a mess. There were debris. I get worried so I run towards the house. I see Taylor, Joe, Mia, and William. But no Hope.

"Where's Hope?" I ask. "I'll talk to him, mom." Mia says. She leads me towards the beach again. "What happened here? Please say something. You're scaring me." I say as we stop. "We were attacked by aliens a few says ago. This place was bombed. Hope came to help us but she failed. Will and I were then taken while mom, dad, and Hope were left here. After a few days, Hope found us." she says but she stops. She starts crying. "You're scaring me. Where is Hope then?" I say "She made a deal. A deal to save us. The alien would have her as long as we are free and the multiverse is left alone." she says. I don't understand. "Wha- What are you saying? She's-she's gone?" I say in disbelief. "I'm sorry." she says. My legs gave out and i fall to the ground. I sit at the sand and cry. I then feel Mia hug me. "Will and I were the last one who saw her. She told me to give this to you after everything is over and that she loves you so much." she says as she gives me a letter with my name written on it and Hope's necklace. I take it from her. I open it and read it.

"Dear George, if you are reading this, then I'm long gone. I'm sorry that it had to end this way. Im sorry we didn't have enough time together. I'm sorry I had to leave but I left for you. I couldn't imagine a world without you in it if Darkseid's plan continues. I did it because I wouldn't bear to see you in pain because you are the best thing to ever happen to me in years. I wish we could've met earlier. Loved you earlier. Meeting you was the best thing to ever happened to me. Being with you made me feel normal. Something I've not felt in a long time. And for that, I will always love you. If we never see each other again, I want you to know that you, George Alexander Louis, will be my first love and my last. My love, I will love you forever and always. Wherever I am. I love you so much and nothing will change that. I promise you that. I need you to promise me that you'll be happy. You'll find love again. In time. Maybe one day, when all is over, maybe we'll see each other again. And when we do, I promise what I feel for you will never change. I wish I could say more. I wish we could have more time. I wish I could see you again. I love you, my George. Always and forever. Live your life to the fullest. Be happy, my love. Till we meet again. -Hope." the letter says.

I close it crying more. "She promised she would be back." i say. "That was the last thing she said to me. She said she promised that when she returns here, she would go see me. We could spend time together. I was gonna ask her to move in with me." I say crying. "I'm so sorry. I should have tried harder to stop her. I should have done more. Every time she does this, I wish I could stop it." Mia says.
