Warning: Extremely sad chapter ahead omg :( Lowkey cried while writing this because my love for Kory is so strong.

***

I stood there in the hall right before you entered the main church- watching everyone pile in through the small window. Up on the alter sat Kory's coffin, decorated in white roses. Those were his favorite.

Sadness was all I felt right now. I wasn't happy that I just saved the world- I was sad because I couldn't save him. I rubbed both parts of my arms that my long, black fitted dress didn't cover. That's when he walked over.

Through the corner of my eye, I saw Will open his mouth and close it repeatedly. He didn't know what to say, but then again, comforting words weren't his thing.

"Hey." He finally spoke up, shoving his hands in the pockets of his nicely groomed suit.

"Hi." I barely managed to spit out. I wasn't exactly in such a good state to be talking right now.

"How are you doing?" He asked. This conversation was definitely awkward.

I cleared my throat and switched my eyes from the many people pouring into the church, to the floor. "I'm uh- I'm doing okay, I guess. Um, how about you?"

"I'm fine." He nodded his head a few times too many. I mirrored him with an uncomfortable smile on my face. "Hey, Ella I-"

His words stopped once he saw the tears start to form in my eyes. We used to be so comfortable with each other, and now we can barely even have a conversation.

"I know it's a sad time, but try to smile. Kory would have wanted it that way." He said, trying to comfort me.

"Smile?" I scoffed, a few tears falling down my cheeks, "How can I smile at a time like this? It's not just that the person I was closest to has died, Will. It's also because I can't even look at the man I love right now due to what he did to me."

"He didn't do anything

"He didn't do anything." My head shot up at the sound of her voice. I turned around to see Nadia, standing with her head down.

"Great." I shook my head, "Just who I needed to see right now."

"What are you doing here." Will scowled, glaring at the beautiful woman in front of us.

"I came to clear things up. Ella, I want you to know the full truth about what happened that day you found us, It was all my fault-"

"I know it was your fault. You screwed my boyfriend." I snapped, flashing her an apologetic look afterwards, "But it's also his, because he went along with it."

"That's the thing." She avoided eye-contact with both of us, "As you know I was working with Kade. He told me to bring you guys apart so you'd be distracted and back off. Doing my job, I drugged Will- making him have a sudden attraction to me. That's why when he saw you, he woke up from the trans and didn't remember a thing."
