Drown in the Riptide// Heyimgrape ff

Epilogue

Prehaps it was the way he waved that caused her to do it, the way his smile was so content and prestine, it was all too happy. So maybe that's the reason, the reason why I sit in this hospital bed, hand in hand with Sean, while Mitchel fights for his life just down the hall. 

Sean had to reminded me, reminded me how I had shoved Mitch away from the oncoming train, how if not for me he would be dead. Yet still my actions were in vain as Straub had thought of many ways to bring himself harm, swalloing a bottel of pills being one.

Tension and anxiety consumed the room as the doctor stepped in, two nurses in tow.

"Mitchel Straub?"

The doctor stated questionly, we both nodded, and, after a quick grimace he spoke in almost a whisper,

"I'm sorry..."

For once months after the incident, months after the sadness, all seemed right in the world. My face held a sad but content smile as I shut the apartment door for the last time. Although it held many memories I couldn't bring myself to stay, it hurt. All the belongs and pictures Mitchell held so close to his heart, sitting there, never to be cared for again. That, was what made me close that door. My mother had always told me rain comes before shine, I never realized how true that was till I could see his face, cold and I alive but somehow content. And now I could see that face once again, alive and similing but still content. Shaking off the memory, I closed the door, leaving the memories of my best friend behind it.
