Until Dawn - Your Story

Decision - You Go

Decision - You Go

You look at Josh's hand not quite sure what you should do now. "Uh... I probably should...", you stutter a few words. Yes, your head wants to stay, but your heart wants to go and stay by his side forever. What would your father do? He gave up to hunt Wendigos for you so why shouldn't you do the same?

"(Y/N)?", Josh snaps you out of your thoughts waving his hand in front of your face. The slight smile he gives you is like the light in the middle of the darkness. "I know probably what you are thinking about. Please, don't do it", Josh breaks the silence between the two of you, while he takes your hand in his. Surprised you raise your eyebrows. "Why?", is the only thing you want to know.

"Because you are the most important person in my life. I know I made so many mistakes, but I swear I would do anything for you. It's maybe the worst moment to say something like that. Yes, maybe it sounds totally cheesy, but it's the truth. I always pushed this feelings away, because I didn't want to ruin our friendship. Please, give me a chance", Josh gives you a really god answer and squeezes your hand softly.

Playfully you tilt your head a little bit. "A chance? Feelings? What do you want to say?", that's the moment you have waited for so long. You want to enjoy every little second of it. "Sure, you haven't changed at all, (Y/N). I love my best friend from the bottom of my heart", Josh replies, while a sassy smile appears on your lips. "So you are in love with Chris?"

His eyes widen shocked so you can't hold back your laugh anymore. "Your face was priceless! I should have done this earlier. Oh my god! I can't wait to ...", before you can end your sentence Josh cuts you off pressing his lips on yours. The butterflies in your stomach start to dance like crazy.

"Hey, get a room!", Chris destroys the romantic moment with his silly joke. The two of you are blushing and try to avoid eye contact. At least one person finds the situation funny. Chris puts his arms around your shoulders and grins like a little boy. "Let's go home. The bone zone is waiting for you, (Y/N)", neither of you can laugh about Chris' joke. Maybe a bit too harsh you hit your elbow into his rips.

"Don't underestimate (Y/N). My cheek still hurts like hell. It feels like you are running into a wall", Mike joins the conversation to warn his friend. Apparently he learned from his mistake. "To be honest you totally deserved it", Chris replies smiling, while you and Josh escape his grip.

The two of you make your way to the helicopter as Josh's hand brushes against yours. Without a word he grabs it softly. "I love you, (Y/N)", he adds to his gesture. Happiness fills you from your head to your toes. Of course you give him your best smile, "I love you too, Josh." For a last time you throw a glance over your shoulder. You are not sure if you would ever be on this mountain again. It happened too much...

...

Dear (Y/N),

your mother would be proud of you. I'm sure she watches you from heaven smiling how fast you grew up. You did such a good job on the mountain. Please, live your life and enjoy every little moment. (Y/N), it's not your burden to fight against Wendigos, it's mine. I taught you these things to keep you safe, when I'm not by your side. Don't blame yourself for the death of your uncle.

I'm sorry for all the mistakes I did. I hope you can forgive me one day. From the moment you were born my heart was yours and I promise this will never change. We went through everything together, but now it's time to find your own way. I'm proud of you more you can imagine.

Love, Daddy

Sighing you press the short letter against your chest right above your heart. Your father takes the place of your uncle and keep a watch on the mountain. You are old enough to live alone, but to be honest you miss him sometimes. He's still your Daddy. All the years he tried to give you everything you need. You put the letter back on the desk to the others. Your father wrote a lot of letters to your uncle. The only topic they wrote about is you.

"(Y/N)?", a familiar voice snaps you out of your thoughts. Smiling you turn your head to look at Josh who puts his hand on your shoulder. "I know it happened again. I lost myself in the past", is your reply. "It's alright. Our guest is waiting for us", Josh offers you his hand which you grab softly.

The two of you leave the bedroom, while your thoughts start to travel again. The time after this hell of a night wasn't easy. Of course all of you needed help to progress what happened. Some friendships were too broken to repair. Some of you headed into different directions.

Even the relationship with Josh was a roller coaster ride sometimes, but nothing could you tear away from his side. The two of you went through everything together. Josh's parents wanted to help. At least they tried and bought a damn villa for you two. So many things have changed, but some things will never change.

"Hey, (Y/N). Do you have a plan for this big house? I'm sure I get lost on the way to the toilet", Chris gives you his best smile. For example he will never change. "Are you here to tell silly jokes or can we start our movie night?", you reply winking at him. "Movie night! What else? It's an old tradition", Chris exclaims and raises his hands with the DVD's.

"I get the snacks. Don't get lost, Chris!", Josh enters the kitchen chuckling. "Did I ever tell you the story how Josh and I met?", the smile on your lips widens immediately. You nod slowly and grab the DVD's from his hand...

Boom, Butterfly Effect!
