Evan Walker is Dead

Evan Walker was dead.

There he lay on the ground, blood oozing out of his open head wound. His body was lifeless and there I saw the guy who I had kissed a few weeks earlier. I thought I loved him but now I'm not so sure. When I met Evan Walker, I thought Ben Parish was dead. I guess convincing myself that I loved Evan was my way of coping with reality.

The Others were probably loving this. The silencer that betrayed them was dead. I'm sure they planned this all along and I wonder who it was that shot him.

They were all dead, Teacup, Oompa, Dumbo, Ringer, Sammy and now Evan. Dead, killed off by the Others. Ben and I were the only survivors.

We didn't know how we would survive without Evan and his hunting skills. He was our only method of getting food and now he was gone. There was nothing left at the local grocery stores, no food, no water, nothing. But we had each other, that was enough.

I felt an arm around my shoulders and I knew who it was without looking up. When I did, my gaze shifted to his face and he focused on my eyes.

"Cassie, are you ok?" He asked

"Yeah, I'll be ok." I said, fighting back tears

"I'm gonna give you some space, let me know if you need anything." Ben started to get up

"Ben no! Stay here." He turned around

"Sorry, I just- want to be with you." I said

That was the moment when I knew that I was never in love with Evan, it's always been Ben that I've been in love with.

He just sat there with his arm around me, not saying anything. We stayed like that for a while and soon enough I fell asleep in his arms.

When I woke up Ben was gone and so was Evan's body. I called out to him but there was no response. I ended up finding him nearly a mile away from our camp.

"Ben, what are you doing out here? I was worried sick!" I shouted

"Sorry, I was just trying to catch some food. I didn't mean to scare you."

We headed back to camp and had some canned fruit for breakfast, since that was all we had.

"Do you miss him?" Ben asked me

"Miss who?"

"Evan." He replied

"Of course I do but when he died I realized something that I never would've before. I'm in love with you Ben and nothing matters as long as we're together. It doesn't matter that there are only two of us, we will kill the Others and one day we will live a normal life, free from danger."

"Cassie." He took my hand

"I promise you, one day we will kill the Others together and nothing will matter anymore. I can can do anything as long as you're by my side Cassie."

For the longest time we just sat there, me in his arms, not saying anything to each other. Ben never told me but I knew he felt the same way about me. One day we would finally we together and be able to live a normal life. I looked forward to that day but right now we have to depend on each to defeat this broken world so that we would live to see the sun set again.
