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?
