I huffed as I climbed the stairs, I was right on everyone's tails, almost to the roof. But I stopped.

It should've been Alaska. I could keep trying to tell myself she would make it, but I'd never be able to live with myself if I left her.

Alaska was like a daughter to me, I couldn't leave her to die. Just like she couldn't leave me.

So I turned back, sprinting down the stairs. I stumbled and fell a few times but I wasn't going to give up. The patriots were going to lose us both if they lost one of us.

When I found her the smoke on the air was thick. She didn't even look like herself. She'd fallen to the ground and stopped fighting the will to move forward. So I cradled her in my arms as we moved forward. I was so sure she was dead.

Now.

Alaska had laid unconscious for three days. When she woke up, I didn't visit. I know it sounded selfish but I loved Alaska. Seeing her hurt- which she was horribly hurt, was too hard.

It had been hours since razor had told me to see her and yet I sat in the cafeteria with jaxx, who was still being quiet.

"I love her," I mumbled to myself. Jaxx stirred beside me.

"You're an idiot if you think I don't know that, you're also an idiot if you don't tell her."

That was the most he'd talked in days. I sighed, and my hair fell into my eyes. I felt him elbow my side and I glanced at him.

"Get off your ass and go see her."

With that I stood, and hurried through the tunnels.
