Chap 5

    It turns out, John can use the windy thing to locate people. He can also use it to transport people by making them float and fly. This of course scared Karkat, who clung to Dave the whole time, and Cassie, who absolutely refused to release Johns leg.
    Flying was the fastest way to get to Jake so they took to the sky and flew for almost an entire day. Dirk complained saying he could there faster on foot since he now knew where Jake was, but Roxy and Jane refused to let him leave their side.
     There was a lot of anxiety and suspense in the air.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dirk had finally made his escape from the group and was now running as fast as he could to Jake's location. It was a spot they had visited before. One Dirk had thought was absolutely beautiful. His heart was beating like crazy and his only thoughts were please let me get there in time, please let him be okay.
    Finally Dirk could here the waterfall, so he slowed down to a jog.
"JAKE!? WHERE ARE YOU??!"
He stopped at the tree line at looked around until his gaze came to rest upon a familiar figure leaning against the fallen log.
"Jake!" Dirk walked closer to the to his friend but their was no response, not even a twitch.
"...jake?...."
Dirk began to circle around the log nut came to a very sudden halt when he saw red on the log and the grass and Jake's clothes and skin..................................................
and on the handle of the knife...
thrown carelessly on the ground beside him.    "JAKE!"
Dirk threw himself down beside Jake and ripped his own shirt into shreds of knottable fabric and began slowing the flow of blood from Jake's self-inflicted wounds. He didn't stop until he heard a sound so soft he could have imagined it.
"......d i r k......."
Slowly looked at Jake's face and saw the boy smiling softly at him. Jake was still alive! There was still time, not much, but it was time.
Dirk knew the others wouldn't arrive for another few hours. So he just had to keep him alive until they got here.
Dirk hadn't realized he was crying again until he heard that gentle speech.
"... d o n t .. c r y....."
He quickly took off his shades and wiped his tears, " Jake....", he smiled," ...you should uh s-save your strength. I-i need you to stop talking for now, because..... I need you to stay alive, okay? Just stay alive and stay  a-awake."
Jake was silently crying now.
Dirk used what was left of his shirt to apply pressure to the injuries.
Jake was bearly breathing.
The dieing boy boy frowned
".. d i r k ...just ... s-s t o p. ......... p l e a s e......."
Dirk didn't look up from his task. He just shook his head violently, " NO! I can't do that Jake. You have to live."
"w h y ?"
Dirk was crying yet again," because I love you too! And if you die now..... I can't live without you Jake. You're my hope! And I don't want to live without you. I need you Jake. And I know that's really selfish of me, but I-i don't care. You have to live because I need you!"
Dirk waited for Jake to respond.

Jake never responded.

AN: what do you all think of an alternate ending?
