10. I'm sorry for your loss.

✨✨✨

Jonathan (who now lives in New York with his girlfriend - soon to be fiancée, Nancy), Will, Lucas, Max, Dustin, Mike and El who are going to college after the summer. They stood in front of a hole dug in the back garden, as Jonathan carried Chester - the family's beloved pet dog - towards the hole.

Mike wrapped his arm around El's quivering shoulders, as she heavily sobbed. Lucas and Dustin comforted Will, while Max gently stroked Jonathan's arm as he attempted to keep his cries in.

El pulled out Chester's favourite chew toy in Chester's paws, who was still cradled against Jonathan. A tear dropped onto his fur, and she placed a kiss on his dry snout.

"Night Chester," El said, exhaling a long breath and walked back into Mike's arms. She let out loud sobs and gripped the back of his jacket. Refusing to let go, as if she did then he'd die just like Chester did.

"I'm sorry," Mike whispered in El's ear, "I'm so sorry El," He swayed them back and forth and ran his fingers through El's hair.

El was curled up in Mike's embrace holding onto him so tightly, like she was going to lose him like she lost Chester.

"I'm not going anywhere, El. Absolutely nowhere," Mike said, holding her close to his chest, letting her hear his heart beat.
