Say Something

Say Something

Song: Say Something by A Great Big World

AN: Hi! Fair warning, this one is VERY short. I started working on it a couple of days ago and just finished it in a rush. You probably won't like the ending. Lol. But please enjoy, and thank you to everyone who has left comments.

Say something, I'm giving up on you

I'll be the one, if you want me to

Anywhere, I would've followed you

Say something, I'm giving up on you

Ringing. Just ringing. That's all Brett could hear as she opened her eyes on a floor of hard rubble. Ringing. Just Ringing.

"Brett!" Called a distressed Emily Foster.

"I'm okay, Foster. How are you?" Brett softly asked.

"I'm fine, but are you sure you're okay? I think you hit the ground harder than all of us."

Brett looked around the black ashen room spotting only a few members of Fifty One.

"Foster, I'm fine. Where is everyone else?"

Foster took a deep breath looking around the room, praying for an easier way to tell Brett the news that would break her into a million pieces.

"Brett..."

"What, Foster? What? What aren't you telling me?"

"Brett, we haven't heard from half of fifty-one. We don't know where squad is or...Casey."

"What? No! No! What do you mean you don't know where he is? We just saw him. He was right here."

"Come on, Brett. I'm gonna take you outside, put you in the ambo, and get you looked at."

Brett gently set up off the floor. Everything was beginning to run together now and before she knew it she was back on the floor. Only this time she wasn't unconscious from the blast, she was unconscious from the thought of losing the love of her life.

'Where is he?' She thought. 'I can't live without him.'

And I am feeling so small

It was over my head

I know nothing at all

And I will stumble and fall

I'm still learning to love

Just starting to crawl

It took hours to find him. Hours that were heavily included with waiting and praying. Until finally they did find him. He was buried under so much rubble that it took six guys to get his body out. No one was expecting what they saw when they did get his body out. No one was ready for that. No one wanted it to be the truth. 'How is he dead?' Thought everyone. 'Not Casey. No not him How him?' Nobody had the heart to tell Brett. She eventually guessed it when no one would look her in the eye. She didn't know how she would recover or how she would live. She needed him. She just needed him and only him.

Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you

And anywhere, I would have followed you

Oh, oh, oh, oh say something, I'm giving up on you
