"(Y/N)! What are you doing? Don't go in there!"
I felt frozen as I watched your dark red hair disappear into the burning apartment. What could possibly have been so important that she would run into a burning building to retrieve it? I wanted to go after you but something held me back. It took me a moment to realize that real physical hands of some bystanders were wrapped around my arms, stopping me from going in.
Something snapped inside me as I watched the doorway collapse, blocking your only way out. I screamed and pulled away from those holding my back, running up to the disaster and attacking the closed entryway with everything I had. The pieces of burning wood scorched my hands until I was again pulled back by the bystanders. Tears streamed down my dirtied cheeks as I yelled at them.
"You don't understand! (Y/N) is in there! We have to help her! Please let me help her!"
They just looked at one another, unsure of what to do as my love was surely being burned inside. My heart strings were snapping one by one, every second that I wasn't there trying to save her. Every second that the reality of (Y/N)'s absence was growing more painful.
Eventually my strength dissolved and I stopped fighting, collapsing against the arms of those who held me. Sobs wracked my whole body and the deafening cackling of the fire seemed to mock me.
Did it not understand what it had done?
There was a deep ache in the depths of my chest, where (Y/N) had once held her place. It felt as though the whole world had fallen onto my shoulders, and now I had nobody to share the load with. The pain was too much, but it felt fitting. (Y/N) was...gone. It's not fair! It's not fucking fair!
Why her?
Why not any of us who would had gladly have taken her place?
Why not me?
