(Y/N)'s Pov

I'm so tired of being here. Suppressed by all of my childish fears. Your presence still lingers here, and it won't leave me alone! These wounds won't seem to heal. This pain is just too real. There's just too much that time cannot erase. My best friend, Edd, I miss you.

When he cried I, wiped away all of his tears. When he screamed I, fight away all of his fears. He was like a younger brother to me. I failed. I failed to protect him. I fail to protect him from the STUPID CANCER! I buried my face into his old green hoodie. This is all I have left of him. Tears streamed down my cheeks as cried out in sorrow. I had failed. I missed him. I missed my little bro. I missed my best friend. I yelped out in between cries. Why did you have to leave me here, alone. Now I'm bounded by the memories you left behind. Destroying all the sanity in me.

I shut my eyes as tears continued to roll down my cheeks. I try so hard to tell myself that you're gone. But though you're still with me, I've been alone, all alone. I can't let you go. I just can't... I looked down at my cuts on my wrist. I bit my lip as tears continued to stream down my face. I don't want to be in this world anymore. It's been too long since I have seen Edd. I stepped off my bed. I don't want to be here. I bend down to look under my bed. I want to leave this place. I took a sharp piece of glass out from under my bed. I'm so tired of being here. I sat on my bed as I placed Edd's hoodie to the side. I need to leave this place. I hovered the glass over my previous cuts. I'm alone. I bit my lip as I dug the glass into my skin. I just need to DIE. Blood poured out of my wrist as I recut my previous cuts. I don't belong here, I need to see Edd again! The door flung open. It made me flinched so hard that the glass dug deeper into my skin than intended. I let out a yelp of pain and dropped the bloody glass onto the glass. I grabbed my wrist in pain and I looked over at the door. It was Paul. He looked terrified at what I was doing.

"(Y/N)!! What are you doing!?"

He ran over to me and grabbed my wrist. I winced in pain.

"(Y/N) why did you do this!? Don't you know you can DIE because of this?!"

"DO YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT!?"

I lashed out at him and tears started flowing out eyes once again. He looked at me in a surprised expression.

"What...?"

He asked softly in disbelief.

"I want to DIE! I'm tired of being in this cruel world without him! Without Edd!"

I sniffed as I cried between my words.

"I'm nothing with out my best friend! This world is pointless without him! I need him Paul... I need him..."

Paul rubbed his hand against my cheek as he wiped away tears from my cheeks. I grabbed his wrist and looked up at him. He had a sad look in his eyes.

"(Y/N)... it's been three weeks..."

He muttered quietly. I bit my lip in slight anger.

"I don't care. I can't just move on... I..."

I looked up at him as tears rolled down my cheeks.

"I feel empty... I feel hollow... I feel cold... I don't want to live anymore..."

I looked down at my recently opened cuts. Paul took out a bandage roll out of his pocket. He started wrapping my cuts. I winced in pain a few times, until he was finally finished. He looked back at me. We made eye contact for a few moments, then he slowly leaned over and hugged me. He held me tightly. It caught me off guard. I felt my face burn up as my tears stopped. He brushed my hair softly in comfort. My eyes dropped in calmness before I closed them and buried my face into his shoulder. I wrapped my arms around his back and tightly hugged him. Warmth...

"You're not alone..."

His deep voice echoed through my head.

"You never were... I'm here... I have always been here..."

He held me tighter as he continued to speak.

"I'll always be here..."

He pulled his head away from me and looked at me. Before I could speak, he kissed me softly. I felt my face burn up slight. I was confused... but I felt... happy? I closed my eyes and kissed him back. His fingers ran through my hair as we kissed. I was happy. I was happy. He pulled away and smiled at me.

"I love you (Y/N), and I need you. Stop hurting yourself."

He smiled at me.

"I'm amazed when I look at you. Not just because of your looks, but because of the fact that everything I've ever wanted is right in front of me."

He gave me a kiss one last time before holding me as I fell asleep in his arms.
