[Play Song when I say]

(Tom's POV)
I clutch Y/N to my chest as I cry into her hoodie. I feel her heartbeat slowly get stronger. One of her E/C eyes regains it's light.

"T-Tom? Is that you?" Her weak voice asks.

Edd, Matt and I all look at her.

"Y-yes, Y/N. I'm here." I say.

"T-Tord, and y-you, fire..." She trails off and softly cries into my sweatshirt.

"I'm sorry Tom...I never should've trusted Tord...it's all my fault!" She wailed quietly.

"No, no Y/N...it's my fault. I trusted him in the first place." Edd says.

"No, it's my fault." Tom insists.

"No, it's mine." You plead.

*This goes on for a while*

"Wait." You say, spotting the trapdoor.

"Yes Y/N?" Edd asks.

"Help me get to that trapdoor." You tell him.

"Why?" He questions.

"Where did you think I kept most of my things? I found it when we first moved in."

"Oh." He says. Matt, Tom, and Edd all help you 'walk' to the trapdoor.

They all help you climb down to reveal a few boxes.

-Time Skip to apartment place-

"Thanks for helping me with these boxes Edd!" You thank Edd.

"No problem Y/N." He said.

You walk into your small apartment. There was a kitchen, a small living room, and behind that there was a hallway leading to a bedroom. And branching off the side of the hallway was a bathroom.

The walls were mostly painted F/C, but the walls of the kitchen were white and black tile.

You begin to place your boxes in certain categories, for what room you would put them in. Then you came across a fairly small box labeled 'Tord's Letters".

Huh. I don't remember HIM writing any letters.

Then, all of these memories flooded back.

You're singing

I saved every letter you wrote me,
From the moment I read them
I knew you were mine,
You said you were mine,
I thought you were mine.

Do you know what [Thomas] said?
When we saw your first letter arrive,
[He] said,
"Be careful with that one love,
He will do what it takes to survive."

You and your words flooded my senses,
Your sentences left me defenseless,
You built me palaces out of paragraphs,
You built cathedrals,

You begin to search the box, looking for why he did this.

I'm re-reading the letters you wrote me,
I'm searching and scanning for answers in every line,
For some kind of sign,
And when you were mine,

The world seemed to burn———,
Burn——————,

You see a newspaper containing Tord and another woman kissing.

He had an AFFAIR?!

You published the letters she wrote you,
You told the whole world how you brought this girl into our bed,
In clearing your name,
You have ruined our lives,

Do you know what [Thomas] said?!
When [he] read what you'd done?
[He] said,
"You're [dating] an icarus,
He has flown to close to the sun."

You and your words obsessed with your legacy!
Your sentences border on senseless!
And you're paranoid in every paragraph,
How they perceive you,
You
You
You!

I'm erasing myself from the narrative,
Let future historians wonder how
[Y/N] reacted
When you broke her heart,
You have torn it all apart,

You take out a lighter that you had in your pocket, and set fire to the letters. You drop them onto the tile floor of the kitchen.

I'm watching it burn!
Watching it, burn!

The world has no right to my heart!
The world has no place in our bed,
They don't get to know what I said!

I'm burning the memories,
Burning the letters,
That might have redeemed you,

You forfeit all rights to my heart!
You forfeit the place in our bed!
You sleep with your [army] instead!

With only the memories,
Of when you were mine———————!

I hope that you,

Burn—————————.

You finish as you watch the remains of the letters turn to ashes.

(Edd's POV)
Wow,

Y/N's voice is beautiful.

Sorry for the short chapter!
