Here's an update finally :3

------------------------------------------------------

I needed to do what I need to do. I must sacrifice myself to save Alfred. I couldn't protect Alfred any longer. It felt like decades of me protecting Alfred and failing to do so. I can't handle this anymore! I think I'm slowly losing my sanity. I just want my life back to normal. I just want Alfred safe.

I woke up again, my body in a cold sweat. Every time I fail to save Alfred, I awake in my bed. It all just seems like a bad dream, but I know it's not a dream. This all a reality. A very twisted reality. I get out of bed, for what seems like the hundredth time this day. I go to the large mirror that hanged on my wall. My eyes are a dull green. I feel like falling in a sleep worth an eternity. I sigh and go to my dresser. I choose a plain white shirt and black shorts. No need to dress fancy if blood will splatter the articles of clothing.

I slowly walk down the stairs. A bloody vision of Alfred falling down stone stairs and cracking his skull open, comes to me. I wince and just continue walking down the stairs. I walked into the kitchen. Mum gets on my case if my shoes aren't at the back door. I sigh as I get my shoes on. "No more bloodshed..." I said out loud.

"Hm? What did you say, Arthur?" My mum said from the living room.

"Nothing!" I shouted back. I wish I could just tell the truth, but I can't. No one else must get involve in this time loop of death. I tied my bright red shoes. I walked out of the house in a hurry.
I reached the park faster then that one blue hedgehog (Sonic, I believe). There he was, sitting on the swings. He looked awfully lonely from where I was positioned. I slowly walked towards Alfred. Each step I had taken was filled with hesitate. I know how hard it is to face someone you know you care, but this was more of fear then love. "Hiya, Arthur!" He shouted at me. I walked to him slowly. I plastered a fake smile on me. "Hello, Alfie." I said.
"Alfie? Where did you get that from?"
"Well, I figured since you call me Iggy most of the time, I thought I'll call you Alfie..." I said, shy at what his opinion will be.
"Cool."
i were actually having fun. I wasn't worried at the bloodshed at all. Then, the cat appeared. My eyes flashed at the first memory. It was the cat who had started this all. "Oh wow! It's a cat! Mom always wanted a cat." He said. He got up from the swing and chased it. Memories swirled in my eyes. The memories were like stories that repeated over and over. My mind was torn between choices. Should I relive Alfred's death, or sacrifice myself?
I ran as fast as my legs would take me. As his foot reach the road, I pushed him onto the other lane. He looked at me confused. "Arthur? What are you doing?"
"What you see is what you get." I said. Then the truck hit me. "Arthur!!!" Alfred shouted.

{Alfred's P.O.V}

I fell to the ground. Someone who deeply cared about me, just saved my life. Why? Was it for heroic deeds or insane needs? I know Arthur hasn't been feeling alright, but why? Why would he sacrifice his life?
A crowd formed around me. They were mumbling. I didn't care about them. I just wished Arthur was alive. I just want him back...

Crappy ending, I know. I had writer's block and everything. But, the story is now at a end. I might do a sequel but I have other plans that'll be longer then this one. Thank you for reading and have a wonderful day!
