Context: This takes place before Announcement Part 1 on Guesting, so from that alone, you would know that there's ZERO CHANCE for this to be canon. But basically it's an ending where Ally doesn't get to come back to LA. You'll see why.
Trigger Warning: Death
Mark POV
"What the--how is that--how is that even remotely what I was trying to do?? These controls are broken, this game is broken. Nah, not really, I'm probably just an idiot, but these controls are fucking broken and--huh..."
I looked down at my phone, seeing Ally's face on my screen, and I broke out into a smile. I couldn't help it. The world didn't know we were together yet, but we agreed to tell everyone once she made her way back here, with me. Back home. She was gonna move in the second she landed, and everything here was all ready for her arrival in a few days.
I picked up the phone, "Hey, sushi roll. I can't really talk right now because--" Then I heard her cough. Not the normal cough of someone sick; it was the cough of someone who was practically choking on the very air they were breathing. "Ally? Ally, sweetheart, what's wrong?"
"Hey, goofball," she croaked out. "I don't think I'm gonna make it to LA." Her voice was so hoarse. So weak. "I'm sorry--"
"No, no. Ally...my Ally..." I turned away from the camera, trying to hide my face. Tears were threatening to escape my eyes. "Don't you dare say sorry. Just tell me what's happening. Tell me so I can help."
"You can't help, Mark. It was my fault...really." She coughed some more. Then I heard a groan. "I'm in the ER." My blood ran cold. "I was buying ice cream...for my mom. It was a drug raid..."
"No. No no no no please no." I could feel a lump in my throat. "Please no, Ally. My love. Please don't say it--"
"I got shot. And I don't have a lot of time. I just wanted you to know..." She took a faint breath in. "That I love you..."
"I love you, too, Ally. Just please stay with me, plea--" I heard the faintest exhale. Then a flatline. And I stood there, frozen, as I heard the doctors saying 'clear'...the jolts of electricity trying to revive my girlfriend booming through the call. The flatline remained. "Please no..."
Then I heard it. "Time of death...11:29pm." I heard shuffling on the other end. "Hello?" the doctor's voice called out. "I understand you're the victim's boyfriend. I'm terribly sorry for your loss, sir."
"Could--" I choked on my own words. "Could you tell me what happened to her?"
"Sir...she was at the wrong place at the wrong time. It was a stray bullet. By the time she'd arrived at the ER, she was too physically weak to handle surgery...so she held on as long as she could...to make a call." I couldn't breathe.
"I--I have to go." I hung up the phone, feeling numb. And I turned back to face the camera, tears falling from my eyes, everything feeling cold and blistering hot all at once. "That was uhm...that was a hospital back in Manila. Ally...my girlfriend..." I broke down into sobs. "Ally got caught in the crossfire of a drug raid. And uhh...she got shot." I tried to take a breath in, but I ended up sobbing some more. "She's dead...Ally's dead. And...I have to go. I don't know when I'll be back. But don't worry about me..."
I reached up to turn the camera off, saying it one last time, "Don't worry about me."

A/N: *deep inhale* PLEASE DON'T KILL ME. This isn't canon. Hey y'all...Ally here. Currently hiding behind my fictional couch. What a way to start off the outtakes, right? I promise not all outtakes will be this...morose. This was just...a brain fart...Oof.
Announcements Part 2 will be published in about 24 hours and y'all will get the non-depressing ending we all deserve after staying with this brain fart of a story of mine through 20+ updates.
