Trigger Warning

Dan sat there, he didn'tknow how long, but he did. He sast there, staring at her.

She can't be dead...
I should've died.
I should've been behind Emily.
I should've-

"Sir." Someone approached him. Dan stopped looking at Emily and looked at the cop. "You have to go home."  He stated. "It's nearly 20:00 (8:00 p.m.). You've been conciouss and awake here for nearly thirteen hours."

Dan laughed.

What home?
She was-
IS his home

Dan thought. dan looked around. His neck ached from looking down so long, but he saw the beautiful sun rise, which now seemed sinister. Dan looked around to see a couple more bodies lying about, most of them were released or taken to the hospital.

"Was he caught?" Dan croaked. His thorat ached and was dry.

"Shot himself." The replied crossing his arms.

Asshole.
He shouldn't get to get out of life without punishment.
He's a coward.

Dan thought bitterly.

"Where's Dan?" An unfimliar voice asked breaking the silence. Dan didn't care enough to turn his head.

"Who are you?" The cop asked.

Yeah.
Make him leave me alone
That's all I need
Alone time.
More of it.

"Emily Peterson's friend Phil-"

Phil...
Why did that sound... familiar?
Wait. Oh God.
Last night.
That's my new flat mate.
I should've paid more attention.

Dan scolded himself.

"I'm taking Dan home." Phil finished. Dan bit his lip to keep from laughing.

Yeah right.

"Do you know this guy?" The cop asked Dan. Dan turned around to look at him.

Tall. Probably tall as me.
Black fringe, opposite side of mine.
Blue eyes. Beautiful blue eyes.
Black jeans.
A colorful shirt.

"Sir! Do. You. Know. Him?" The cop asked annoyed separating his words. He acted as if Dan was a child.

Way to go Dan
Way to annoy a complete stranger
Good job.

Dan ignored the voice and thought.

Well techinically I don't know him...

Dan shook his head in response to the question.

"Sorry. Then I can't let you take him home." The cop stated.

Yes! Go cop!

"And your going to let him drive himself home in the dark like this?"

Uh. Yes. Please?

"His parents, siblings, or relitives can do that." The cop said emotionless.

Phil raised an eyebrow about to turn around when Dan spoke.

"Parents are out of town, no siblings, Relitives are days away." Dan rushed.

What the fuck Dan?
Do you actually want to get in the car with a stranger?

Dan noticed Phil trying to keep from smiling.

Oh my God he's going to kill me.
Or worse torcher me.

Dan thought.

The cop sighed and shook his head frustrated.

"Unless you want  to take him home." Phil suggested.

Cop would be better than Phil.

Phil did this purposely. Dan knew it. He knew the cops were too busy.

"Fine." The cop agreed.

WAIT WHAT?
HE COULD BE A MURDERER
LOOK AT THOSE EYES
HE'S PROBABLY KILLED SOMEONE.

Dan's irrational side thought.

"Just give me your drivers liscense." The cop demanded. Phil handed his over, the cop studied it for a minute, almost as if he didn't want to believe Phil. "Alright. He's all yours." The cop gestured to Dan.

Dan shook his head. He would've cried but he couldn't, he cried so much he was just...empty.

"No." Dan whispered grabbing Emily's hand. It was cold and pale, it was dead.

No.
I'm not leaving Emily

Dan thought stubbornly. He fet a hand on top of his shoulder.
"Please." Dan whispered. "Don't make me go." Dan pleaded.

"Dan." Phil whispered. Dan shook his head.

"Please."

"Dan. She wouldn't want you to sit around like this."

"HOW WOULD WE KNOW?" Dan screamed making Phil jump. "SHE'S DEAD SO WE CAN'T KNOW FOR SURE CAN  WE?" He finished. Dan closed his eyes.

Big mistake.

Emily. Her face. Terror then smile.
Screaming. She fell. She fell and died in Dan's arms.

That's all Dan saw. Emily. When he closed his eyes.He opened them to see Phil siting over her body.

She's so pale.

Phil smiled sadly, Dan could tell Phil was using everything to keep from crying in front of him. To stay 'strong' in front of him probably.

"Thank you." Phil whispered. "I'll miss you." He told her kissing her cheek. Phil stood up.

"Dan." He said more sternly. "Let's. Go."

"Just let me say goodbye." Dan pleaded. Phil nodded. Dan hovered over Emily's body again. She was so cold.

"I love you Emily. I love you so much. Don't forget about me. I'll see you soon." The last sentence Dan whispered. Dan kissed her forehead lightly. Dan then brought his lips to her ear. "You are so beautiful." Dan touched her arms one last time.

And Dan did what he never thought he had to do. He took one more look at her grey eyes. Beautiful grey eyes. And shut them.

For good.
