El's POV:
I ran and ran until I was finally too weak to carry him. I collapsed.
"El!"
I turned to see Mike rush to me and bend down.
"El, are you okay?"
"I'm just exhausted. Where are the others?"
"I don't know."
I looked up and saw Mike's eyes looked sad and tired.
"Mike, are you okay?"
"I'm tired too."
He sat down next to me. I watched him glitch a little but he didn't have a reaction. His eyes were glossed over.
"Mike..."
"I'm just tired."
"Are you in pain?"
He didn't answer.
"Michael Wheeler-"
"I said I'm fine!" He snapped.
I stepped back, startled and a bit hurt by his reaction.
"I'm sorry...I shouldn't have-"
"Its fine." I said, sighing and standing up. He did the same.
"I can't believe Heather sacrificed herself like that for us..."
"I can't either. I guess she really did care..." My voice trailed.
We both just stood there in the forest for a moment in complete silence. There wasn't another noise throughout the forest.
"How did we end up here?" Mike's voice broke the silence.
I could feel my voice wanting to break. I tried to keep it inside, but I couldn't. I could already feel the tears streaming down my face.
"I just wish that...that-"
I felt arms wrap around me, pulling me into an embrace. Before I could realize what was happening, I just leaned into the person and cried into their shoulder. They comforted me.
I looked up, wiping my tears on my sleeves. It was Mike. He wasn't glitching anymore.
But how?
