Hiya, this is Cherry! I just wanted to let you know that I'll be leaving in a couple of minutes. We can't take our phones past this point so I wanted to say goodbye and um- I love you. Gotta go bye!

Hey, this is Cherry again! I wanted to tell you that I made it through basic training! I'm so excited! Oh shit, I gotta go love you!

Babe, I finished it all. I can finally go into combat. They've stationed me in Afghanistan. I love you! I wish you would answer. Bye.

Cherry walks up to the door. Only to see that all the lights were off. She called Amy's mom. And was immediately met with sobs and a strangled, heartbroken, cry

Oh! I'm so sorry. I'm so, so sorry!

What, what's going on? Please tell me!

Amy's dead. Amy's dead, child, I'm sorry.

And now it's Cherry's turn to shatter into a sob.

No, no! I was in Afghanistan! I should've been here! I'm sorry. I'm sorry Amy.

She hung up and disappeared.

Everybody looked for her and found her beside Amy's grave dead. It was told that she didn't mean to die. It was just a curse passed through her family. Their lovers died and so did they. At least she died knowing that it ended with her. That the curse is no more.
