___CHAPTER TWELVE___

"I look at myself and see a monster."

"I look at myself and see an empty shell."

"But when I look at you, I see a beautiful heart."

"But when I look at you, I see a freed soul."

___Y/N'S POV

The elevator shook a bit and aichugged my body tightly. I felt the burning tears brim at my eyes. There was nothing that I could do in this situation. If this storm broke the elevator, than the inevitable would happen.

I have so many regrets though...

The elevator rocked violently and I let out a scream, the panic swelling in my brain and causing me to hyperventilate and consume unnecessary oxygen. If only I hadn't pushed Red away. Or blamed him for any of this stupid shit that I was in now.

After all that...

He still wanted to be...

"Friends..." I whimpered and cried in my arms. After all Julian put me through just for a stupid promotion that probably wouldn't matter in the future. I had taken out all my emotions on Red, and as a consequence, I lost him. "R-Red..." I cried again as the elevator shook around frantically.

"Red! I-I'm sorry! I like you! I want to be more than—!"

A loud snap sounded from above and all at once, the elevator fell down the shaft at a rapidly increasing speed.

I screamed at the top of my lungs, my body slowly rising off the floor and the cramped walls becoming a blur of nothingness.

This is truly happening?

I am truly dying...

My eyes squeezed shut and I started to let everything go. All my problems, thoughts, and harsh regrets went down the drain like rain in a storm drain. If death was my fate,

Then I will embrace it whole.

"Y/n!!"

My body flew around as if I wasn't in control anymore. As if my body was defying gravity due to someone else's influence and not the force of the fast moving space. My eyes not only stayed shut, but my consciousness shut off as well, tuning everything out along with it.

I had passed out.

____GLITCHY RED'S POV

It hurt a thousand times over, but unlike Y/n, I couldn't die from these severe injuries.

They hurt like hell though...

I was about to walk out of the building when I heard a loud snap. I pinpointed the direction from which the sound had came from and raced over to the elevators. I pressed my ear to make sure I was right and when I heard Y/n's screams, I panicked.

The cords really did snap, and more than likely because of the heavy shaking or the violent lightning strikes. I could barely feel my leg and a scar was taking form near my eye. I reached out and tried to touch the control panel, but a force stopped me. I continued to push but to no prevail, for he didn't stop resisting me.

"I'll kill you! I'll kill you! You hear me?! You can defeat me!"

"Shut up!! I'm saving her no matter what!" I growled and shoved my hand onto the broken control board. My body changed immediately and I started racing up through the circuits.

He clawed at my body from the inside and I yelled in pain as a response. No matter though, I sped into the elevator quickly. Y/n was against the emergency exit on the roof of the elevator. I bounced off the wall and snatched her up quickly. The second she was in my arms, I rushed right back out and fell into the main hall.

A loud crash sounded behind the closed doors. I flew into the wall and left a small crack in it, Y/n wrapped tightly in my arms so that her body would be cushioned. My eyes flew open as I coughed out blood and struggled to breathe properly. I was winded for sure, and something in my body was most definitely broken from everything I had thrown myself into.

Literally...

At least Y/n was only unconscious and not worse.

I shifted a bit and winced from the slight pain that trying to move caused me. Eventually, I managed to stand on my feet and with that, I lifted her up bridal style. My leg was still crumbling and my other was feeling numb. I carried on though, and with the knowledge of her that I had, tried to carry her home as fast as possible.

My arms were trembling and turning into code as well the faster I tried to go, so I was left with making my way slowly but surely.

"Y/n..." I muttered and held her close to my chest.

"Me too..."
