Minecraftia: The Falling

Chapter 5: Saying Goodbye

I screamed awake, tears falling down my cheeks like waterfalls, the bed was stained with sweat. I screamed longer and held my sobbing eyes with my hands. Adam ran in and a few others stood in the doorway. Adam looked at me and sat next to me and hugged me. He 'shh'd me and said "Gabby whats wrong? It's okay... please it's okay now," I cried into his chest and whispered "No no no, please don't go!" He petted my hair, "Don't worry, I won't leave you Gabby, it's okay." I slightly calmed down "I love you Adam, don't leave me." I didn't care who was around, or how loud I had said it, I needed to say it. Adam was silent, and slowed his movements but answered "I-I... I love you to Gabby... I won't leave you I promise." I felt surprised gazes gather around but I didn't care anymore.

Sunlight gathered around me, I locked myself in my room after I comprehended what I said this morning. Adam attempted to bug me a few times, but gave up. The smell of pancakes gathered around me, I breathed it in, as I breathed in Adams last breath. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to forget the memory, or nightmare. I got up and got dressed, hunger hit me like a wrecking ball. 'Man I didn't know I was that hungry,' I thought, all the thinking stopped me from thinking about food whatsoever. I unlocked my door and slowly opened it and slowly stepped out, my hair was a ratty mess, and I didn't feel like brushing it.

I'm just going to eat and lock myself in my pit of depression and thoughts. I felt stares hit me as soon as I walked into the kitchen. I grunted and let my rats nest of a hair fall into my face as I sat down. Adam broke the lovely silence "Um, I thought you weren't going to join us this morning" he smiled. It took me a while to answer "Well I did," I said in a snapping tone, breaking his smile. Andrew served us all, nobody talked until breakfast was over, until I left.

I walked back to my room but Adam stopped me "Gabby please, what's wrong" "nothing, I'm fine" stupid answer, but it was the best answer I had. Adam shook his head "No you're not" he replied and kissed me. Instead of anger, terror painted my face, I my eyes became watery and I pushed Adam out of the way and ran into my room. 'Save them Gabby, all you have to do is agree,' the voice rang in my ears "I agree, please don't hurt them" I sobbed. Herobrine stood over me, holding his hand out, as he did before. I looked up at him fearfully and took it. "Goodbye Adam... I love you," it was the last thing I said, before my world went black.

Adam was worried about Gabby, she wouldn't tell him what the nightmare was about. Adam sighed and walked towards the living room. He felt Ants glare hit him, Adam Lifted his eyebrow. Ant just grunted and looked down, he was sitting on the couch and Adam sat across from him. "Look man, I'm sorry..." "Sorry for what, letting Gabby have feelings for you?" Ant said with an attitude. Adam sighed, now two of his friends hated him "Ant please don't do this, like right now I just want to get my head off women. And no offense but your acting like one," Ant glared at him, "I AM NOT!" "Yes you are" "AM NOT!" "AM TOOOOO!" Ciera walked in and slapped them both in the back of the head. They both replied with an 'ow' "Stop acting like children, you better make up and do something useful like hunt or farm. Or else." she growled at them. The boys gulped and weren't about to find out what 'or else' meant so they grabbed their coats and swords and ran out the front doors

Ant and Adam slightly made up and were now hunting. Adam held his bows aim at the cow but before he let his arrow go, Ant got in the way and killed the cow via sword. "The heck man? I could've shot you!" Ant looked over and apparently didn't notice him there with his bow. "Oh sorry, I'm kind of out of it today..." "It's alright" (all dah homo) they skinned the cow and got its meat.

A feeling hit Adam, of fear, he wanted to run back to the house and slam Gabby's door open to see if she was okay. He dismissed the feeling and told himself he was being paranoid. Then again, you always get a feeling when your loved ones were in danger 'no, thats stupid' he told himself. "Hellooo? Did you even hear me?" Ant waved his hand in front of Adams face, Adam slapped his hand down "Sorry, I was thinking, what did you say?" "We should go get some seeds and make a farm, Andrew is running out of grain," Ant declared, again.

They got the seeds and some oak saplings from the forest then went back to the snowy biome. They trudged through the snow "How are we supposed to plant in this weather?" Adam asked "Uh, greenhouse?" Ant asked. Adam nodded "I'll get sand for the glass and you find a good sunny spot," Ant agreed and went to find a spot. Adam went back towards the forest to look for sand, he looked around and sighed. He lifted his sunglasses and squinted, 'there has to be a lake or something' he thought as he climbed over a hill. 'Bingo' a lake, he put his sunglasses back over his eyes and slid down to a sandy spot.

He gathered the sand then it hit him again, the feeling, he steadied himself on a tree. Images filled his mind that he would never forget, images of Gabby dying, in so many ways. The first image was of her drowning, screaming underwater for Adam. Then her being stabbed and bleeding to death, then an arrow to the heart. Many more images stained his mind, blood and suffocation. He cried and held his head, he slid down the tree and yelled "NO! GABBY!" tears streamed down his face and he held himself in a ball.

He later gathered himself together, somehow he was able to dismiss it. He saw Ant waiting inside, preparing the furnace, Adam didn't talk to him, just slid the sand in to smelt it. He waited in the living room and tried to sleep, he was getting tired and the day was coming to an end, they needed to build the green house quick. He got back up and got some of the glass from the furnace, Ant did as well. Ant showed him the foundation and they started to build.

They got the last block on as it became night then ran inside the main house and locked the doors. A zombie had followed them, it knocked on the door, threatening to break the door down. "Don't worry I got this," Ant declared and got his sword out, he opened the door and sliced the zombies head off, and kicked it the other way. Adam clapped "Nice," Ant nodded in thanks and closed the front door. Adam yawned, "I'm gonna go take a nap," "awww Adam needs a nappy wappy?" "Shut up". Adam closed the door to his room and plopped onto his bed.

He tried to close his eyes but the images haunted his mind, a new one haunted his mind of her just lying there dead. He got up and began to pace 'why don't you go in there Adam? See if she's okay.' he thought to himself then paced the other way ' No Gabby would get mad if I just barged in...' 'But what if she's dying,' he thought as if there were two voices in his head. He shook his head and slammed his door open and stomped to Gabby's room to end this paranoia. He knocked on her door "Gabby? You okay? I just wanted to check on you." no answer. He knocked again "Gabby?" he slid his hand down to the handle.

He pushed the door open and Gabby was asleep on her bed. He sighed in relief, but wait, something wasn't right. There was no soft snore of her breathing and no rise and fall of her chest. Her mouth was halfway open and her face was red from former crying. He paced over to her and shook her, "Gabby? Gabby wake up!" he shook her cold lifeless body and waited for an answer. Adam checked her pulse, nothing, she was gone. He cried and screamed "NO GABBY! PLEASE WAKE UP!" no answer, tears fell from his face and he hugged her body close to himself. Everyone ran in and Adam ignored them, he had crawled into the bed and was crying and holding her. "Gabby I love you p-please" he whispered ever so softly into her soul-less ears. He could hear a voice in his head, of her whispering "Goodbye Adam... I love you,"
