The girl with mismatched eyes POV

I sit bolt upright in a Med Cot.
I made it.

"Ethan?! Flynn?!" I call.

"Hello?" A blond boy says, and I throw my arms around him.

"Flynn! We made it! Have you seen Ethan?" And I let go, and I realise that that isn't Flynn.

Last I checked Flynn has green eyes.
Not blue.

"My name is Tyler Jones."

My eyes go wide.
"Do you know Flynn? Are you his brother?"

"In sorry to have to tell you this, Aurora, But Ethan and Flynn are dead. You've been in Cryo for a very long time."

"How long?"

"Two hundred and twenty years."

~~~

"Alright Auri, were gonna Fold." Ty calls.

I shakily inhale, and go to my room, grabbing my record and putting it on full blast.
But there's a note inside, too.

Dear Auri.
Just in case I don't survive, I love you.
There's a little mixtape that I've put inside here that I've made for you, too.
You still up for that date?
Love, Ethan.

And I'm crying.
Again.

And the guitar wails on, mocking me with the ghost of him.

I let the tears fall.

"Eth- oh, sorry, Kal."

"Who is Ethan?" He asks.

"No one."

"You are lying."

"I...I was friends with him back on Octavia. He's-" I sob.
"He's Dead because of me."

"I'm sorry, Aurora. I truly am."

I offer him a watery smile.
"Thanks. Now all I can do is kick the Ra'haams butt for him."
