Rocket's Point of view

I pulled away as her breath failed her. She sighed as she let her last words echo in my mind. Her eyes closed as I stared down at her lifeless and cut body. "No...you bitch, no, come back! You can't do this to me...please... don't leave." I sobbed into her chest. "I am Groot." Groot placed his hand on my shoulder and stared down at me solemnly. He nodded at me, I let him pick her up and take her back to the ship. I just sat there until my knees went numb. Gamora put her hands on my shoulders. I stared up at her, her eyes looked like they broke, I couldn't feel anything happy in me. It all felt like shit. Like a massive part of me had just fallen away. It was probably her hands around my heart.

I walked towards the ship, my feet felt like lead as I walked, I saw her bloody figure as she bolted out of that alley, she looked so graceful as a cheetah that was what always amazed me. It didn't bother me that most of the blood on her fur wasn't her own, I was just glad she was okay...that was what I thought. But she just...died. I didn't expect her to go so...quick, heh, like a cheetah. Quill was flying us somewhere, I didn't know where, but Groot had told him where to go. I just spent the whole time sitting in the chair next to Molly's IPhone, listening to her Playlist, it was freakin' amazing. I still couldn't believe she was gone. She was one of the most amazing things that has ever happened to me. I was about to start crying again until I spotted the familiar planet that we landed on for Molly. Drax was the first one to get out of the ship. Groot brought out the body, it had a white quilt draped over it. I didn't want to look anyway, my throat was raw with emotion. I could hear creaking and snapping of twigs as Drax and Groot went into the jungle, looking for the perfect spot to bury the body. When me, Gamora and Quill stepped out the craft, we made our way to the place of the burial and saw that Groot had planted a Pink and Black flower on top of the new pile of earth. A small rock had been placed at the head of the grave, it was marked down as 'Molly, the last critterian to make the stars look like glitter, and save several lives. We thank you as we send you into a new world.' I drew a big breath into my lungs as we descended into the beautiful rainforest.

"She would have wanted to be buried here, thanks buddy." I patted Groot's arm. I stood next to the head stone, everyone stared at me expecting something. I coughed, "Well...we only knew Molly for a couple days, but she made a big difference to us all. We didn't expect her to..." I choked back a sob. "She loved it here, she loved you guys too. Now we're gonna do, what she wanted to do, and take revenge on those hunters who killed her parents, and kill the last brother of the Langorian Triplets. We hope she is with her family now and that she is doing alright." Doing alright? She's in fucking heaven now man. Drax held his hand out towards me before I retreated behind Groot. He opened it to reveal Molly's necklace. I took it and held it in my palm for moment. She didn't deserve a guy like me...but I loved her way too much than I thought I did. I dropped the cross onto the earth and let it curl around the plant. The guardians said their goodbyes, and we headed back to the ship, with Molly's holo-bike still strapped over the side. Which made Gamora cry even more while Quill held her shoulders. That was weird...yep she was definatly- Wait where was Groot? Before I entered the ship entirely I looked back one more time to see Groot standing over her Grave, not saying anything, just looking like he was. A cool breeze swept from their direction and swirled around me before it burned into the sky.

'Well you only need the light when it's burning low, Only miss the sun when it starts to snow, Only know you love her when you let her go. Only know you've been high when you're feeling low, only hate the road when you're missing home, only know you love her when you let her go. And you let her go. Staring at the bottom of your glass, Hoping one day you'll make a dream last, But dreams come slow and they go so fast. You see her when you close your eyes, maybe one day you'll understand why, everything you touch surely dies. But you only need the light when it's burning low, only miss the sun when it starts to snow, only know you love her when you let her go. Only know you've been high when you're feeling low, only hate the road when you're missing' home, only know you love her when you let her go. Staring at the ceiling in the dark, same old empty feeling in your heart, 'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast. Well you see her when you fall asleep, But never to touch and never to keep, 'Cause you loved her too much, and you dived too deep. Well you only need the light when it's burning low, only miss the sun when it starts to snow, only know you love her when you let her go. Only know you've been high when you're feeling low, only hate the road when you're missing' home, only know you love her when you let her go. And you let her go (oh, oh, ooh, oh no) and you let her go (oh, oh, ooh, oh no). Will you let her go? 'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low, Only miss the sun when it starts to snow, Only know you love her when you let her go. Only know you've been high when you're feeling low, only hate the road when you're missing' home, only know you love her when you let her go. 'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low, Only miss the sun when it starts to snow, Only know you love her when you let her go. Only know you've been high when you're feeling low, only hate the road when you're missing' home, only know you love her when you let her go.

And you let her go...

Her last words echoed through my mind. I screamed to make it go away while the song reverberated through the ship.
