I love you, i'm sorry

Hey Lovelies! I just wanted to apologize for the very late update. Life has been hectic as well, with having to deal with my brother passing. I'm mostly okay now. I've grieved as much as i can and need to try and move on. I will desperately miss him but you can't cry forever. Anyway, i feel back up to writing again, so I'll be updating as much as I can as soon as i can. Thank you! Xxxxx

September 30th 1998

Leon pulls the lever down the light now turning green. The door slowly starts lifting up. "Oh come on." Leon whispers under his breath before ducking underneath it entering the large waste room. "Y/n!" He yells out looking for her. "Y/n where are you!?" "I'm over here." Y/n yells back, before hissing in pain again. A piece of shrapnel stuck into her leg. As she see Leon approach her she sighs heavily. "I can't get it out." She said coldly looking to him. He looks down at the wound before back up at her face. "I don't know if i should..." his voice trails off. Y/n sighs hard. "Leon, please. I can't walk like this. How the hell are we suppose to get out of here if i can't even walk." She states to him, once more coldly. He sighs hard. "It's gonna hurt." He states, his hand wrapping around it. He takes a second before he starts to pull, it finally giving. Y/n hisses out in pain as blood starts to pool onto her leg. The pain much more bearable. Leon quickly drops the price of metal and reaches into his pocket pulling out a thing of gauze and bandage. "Hold on..." He states. "I can do it myself. " Y/n speaks as she reaches for it. "Just relax, alright?" He says looking up at her. Y/n sighs hard as she lets him help her. "Stubborn as always." He whispers under his breath. Y/n sides eyes him for a moment. Leon wraps up her leg before Y/n speaks out again. "So what now?" she asks looking up to him. "Well i guess we keep looking for a way around this." He states as he helps her stand up. "Here grab my shoulder." Leon states making Y/n scoff. "Don't push it." She says before walking past him slightly, now walking with a limp. "There is a cable car near by. We should head over there, might be a way out of here." Y/n spoke to Leon looking at him. "That wrist band you found earlier should help up get it started." Y/n spoke once again as the two walk through a dark, very dim lit hallway. The two continued walking before Y/n stopped and groaned. "This stupid leg." She sighed. "I could carry you." Leon suggested. "Oh yeah, not make it awkward at all." She spoke back to him. "That will just make me feel worse." She sighed before walking again. They crossed the over hanging bridge of where Y/n just was hurt a minute ago. "How's the shoulder?" Y/n asked. "Worse than it looks." Leon spoke dryly. "Look at us. What a pair. Got one foot in the grave." Her words dripping in sarcasm. The two continued to maneuver their way through the underground facility before seeing the cable car "Hopefully that will get us out of this nightmare." Y/n spoke making her way towards it. The door slid open and Y/n made her way to the bench to sit down. Leon walked to the front pushing the leaver. " This tram is bound for NEST. Do not exit until the finale destination." The car spoke out as it started moving. Y/n sighed heavily leaning her head against the wall. The silence was thick inside the cable car. Neither one of them spoke. Leon sat down on the bench beside Y/n. Y/n was exhausted and so was Leon. They had been through hell and back, and hopefully this nightmare would be over soon. So far the two had learned that a corporation named umbrella was responsible for the outbreak. Y/n sat up slightly. All the dots started to connect. The infected people and creatures. All the weird shit that was happening. As Y/n looked up seeing the umbrella symbol on the cable car "Oh shit." She spoke."Leon I don't think we're getting out this way. I think we're going to umbrellas underground lab. Where the virus is." She looked to him as the dots clicked. Leon looked at her before realization crossed his face. "Oh crap." He spoke. Y/n brain started turning. She needed to get that sample if there was one. Bring it to her dad. Help stop this. "We gotta get the sample if they have one Leon." she exclaimed. Leon looked to her. "What? You want to get the virus that started all of this?" He asked confused. "We can stop it. If we take the sample bring it to my da-... to the FBI. We can put all of this to a stop." She spoke looking up to him. "Y/n..." Leon sighed. Y/n knew that tone. Leon always used it when he thought she had an irrational idea. "Oh don't 'Y/n' me. Fine you know what, I'll go by myself." She spoke out to him, slightly angry. "Like hell you will!"Leon protested. "Well you don't want to help me. It's not Ike i got a lot of options here." Y/n spoke out."You can't go alone! What if you get even more hurt or attacked?" Leon stated. "I don't think thats your concern anymore." Y/n spoke out to him."Just because we broke up Y/n, doesn't mean I suddenly don't care about you anymore." Leon spoke out, the two now very silent. Y/n looked up to him before letting out a breath. She didn't know what to say anymore. How was she supposed to react?  She took a moment looking down at the ground. She didn't even think before speaking. "I love you...I'm sorry." She blurted out before her eyes found his. Leon's heart pounded in his chest. His stomach turned as he looked at her. "You what? Hold on..." He spoke as he raised his hand gesturing at her. "Last time I checked, I was asking you- no, begging you, in the rain, to give me something. To let me know you still cared. But you didn't. We've crossed every other boundary together, but this, me meeting your family, broke us? This out of everything broke us. I mean I don't get it. I didn't get it then, and i still don't. All i wanted was for you to be truthful. All i wanted was to know that we were in this together. Now i know that we're not. And now your standing if front of me and you telling me your sorry now? I can't believe it, really I can't! Where was this before Y/n? Where was it? Was it really that hard?! Was it really that hard to just give me a god damn answer?! Clearly it was, but you know what you did instead?" Leon spoke out. His voice passionate as his words started to grow more  agitated. He took a small step towards her before continuing on.  "You let me go. You let me go and you let all of this go for nothing. You did this. You broke us. And i tried, god did i try. But there was no point. You had already decided. That was one of the worst decisions you could have made, because it didn't just affect you that day. It affected me too. You just letting me walk away from us." Leon took a breath and quickly continued, not giving Y/n a chance to speak. "So, you can keep your sorry, you can keep it all. Because I don't want it anymore. I don't need it anymore." Leons words slowly started to sound less agitated and more heartbroken. "Don't worry about it. Don't worry about any of it anymore, cause this time, I'm walking away without any regret." He spoke as he slowly turned away from her. The cable car had come to a stop and the door was open as they had arrived at their final destination. Y/n sat there tears were now streaming down her cheeks before she turned her head to Leon now standing in the door way. "You don't get to say that anymore to me Y/n. You don't get to tell me you love me. You don't have that right." Leon's voice was cold and stern and then his figured had disappeared from the door way.
