We were happy. I thought Xavier's gonna be the guy that I'm gonna be married to. The guy who will grow old with me, for short the guy I wanna settle with for the rest of my life.
But those were just dreams and fantasies. After two long years, we bro...

"Help" Xavier said, then he fell down. Face planted on the floor. I immediately ran towards him and helped him. His whole face was burnt. I cried at the sight.
"Oh my god, baby." I was so heartbroken seeing him like this. Montana helped me, we carried Xavier inside the girls cabin and locked ourselves there.
Xavier passed out on the bed where we had sex earlier. I could hear him cry in his sleep.
"I'm glad that Xavier is still alive" Montana told me, giving me that sympathetic look as she walks back and forth the cabin.
"Me too." I said, sniffing. I still couldn't bear the sight of him like this. I wish I could heal him, I wish I was there to atleast did my best to save him.
"Hey babe, it's not your fault" Montana told me as if she heard my thoughts.
"I-i just can't see him in so much pain, Monty." I cried. Montana hugged me and calmed down. After ten long minutes Xavier suddenly woke up.
"Oh god" The only words he said while staring at his burnt hands. Tears streaming down his cheeks. He sniff before looking up at me, a sudden glimpse of light appeared in his eyes.
"Ellie? Ellie!" He said, I immediately hugged him. I don't care if he smells like a burnt strawberry chocolate, he's still my Xavier. "I thought Jingles got you, you suddenly disappeared" He said, crying.
"The Nightstalker- he grabbed me, he was here." I told him. I need to tell him the truth tho.
His eyes widened. "I knew it, I knew he will come back for you" He said, already in state of panicking. "This can't be happening, what did he do to you?" Xavier grabbed my arms.
"He-he was claiming I was the only thing he needs for his ritual. I-i kicked him in the balls and ran away from him" I lied.
He then pulled me close to him and hugged me tightly. "I can't lose you, El." He cried.
I saw Montana just watching us.
"You're not gonna lose me, Xav." I promised to him.
We stayed there for I don't know how long. We already calmed ourselves. Xavier was already calm, Montana was feeling uneasy knowing that her lover is still out there.
"I still have an audition on the books. Possible two episodes are is Cheery Bellhop." Xavier said, dumbfounded. "How's a burn victim ever supposed to play Cheery" Then he put his two pinky fingers in the inside of his lips, then stretched it to make a smile.
"I don't like this" Montana cuts him off. I was sitting on the other bed facing Xavier. Just watching him like that. He looks like he's on drugs. "Brooke should be here by now" She added.
"You guys stay here, i'm gonna go find her." Montana said, making her way to the door. I stood up to stop her. But before she could touch the handle of the door, the door opens. The fake Rita quickly got inside and locked the door from her behind.
Montana lifted her hand that was holding a knife, that I just realized she was holding it the whole time "Not another step" She told fake Rita. My brows were furrowed in confusion.
"I'm not here to clash, I only want help so that we can get us out of here." Fake Rita said.
"Says the bitch who punched me in the throat" Montana said, I was about to walk beside her. I was mad at fake Rita for doing that to my bestfriend but Xavier grabbed me in the hand and stopped me. "I suggest you leave now before you get the urge to kick more of your ass" Montana added.
"I though I could help people around the world. I never would have put you in harm's way otherwise." Rita said.
Xavier turned around to face the two woman, his brows were also knitted in confusion.
"The hell are you talking about?" He asked.
Rita sighed before speaking "Mr. Jingles, I released him. I let him through the camp. What happened here tonight, it's- it's my fault" Rita said, having a hard time saying the last part. Xavier's hands dropped down from my arms. He slowly made his way near now to Montana, anger is visible in his eyes.
Xavier lifted his hand and pointed at Rita.
"You did this to me?" He asked. Rita was just there staring at Xavier. "Look at my fucking face!" He then pointed at his face, tears streaming down his cheeks.
"My car is parked in the staff lot. If the four of us could pull ourselves together we can survive this." Rita suggested.
"No, it's your fault i'm a monster!" Xavier said, pointing at Rita. I could feel the anger in his voice "It's your fault that i'll never be on the cover of TV Guide." He continues "It's your fault that my future is in the radio!" He cries out.
Tears also running down my cheeks now. It was his dream, the only dream he wanted. He wants to be known as one of the greatest actor the 80's ever have.
Xavier was quick enough to grab the knife Montana was holding. I panicked and just froze there, seeing my Xavier slowly turning into a real monster. He run to where Rita was standing, knife on Xavier's hand ready to stab her.
"Xavier, please stop!" I cried out. Montana was on the floor, shocked.
Rita dodged Xavier's assault.
"You don't want to this please." Rita said, catching her breath. "Ellie stop him" Rita told me.
"No, Ellie. Stay out of this. She ruined our future, she ruined my life. She ruined everything!" Xavier said, preparing for another assault. I can't let this happen. I did what I need to do. I run towards their direction and pushed Xavier away from Rita. Rita run out of the cabin.
Xavier and I were laying on the floor, I felt stinging of pain on the side of my stomach and my whole body was starting to numb.
"Oh shit" Xavier said, when he realized the knife was accidentally stabbed to my side stomach. "Ellie, please baby. I'm sorry" He cries out, he lifted my head and brought me to his arms.
Montana came beside me, she was crying too. I am starting to feel so cold.
"Xavier, baby" I told Xavier "This is not your fault" I added, my voice trembling.
"Ellie, don't leave me. I'm sorry. Please, el. Don't leave me." Xavier was crying so hard. I really hate seeing him like this. I hate it. I wish I could grab the pain and throw it far away from him. "Montana! do something!" I could feel Xavier already panicking, knowing that he's losing me.
"I-i don't know what to do, Xavier. I-i " Montana's voice were trembling, her eyes were bloodshot.
"Ellie, I love you" Xavier said. My eyes are shutting down, I tried to stay awake. I wanted to get out of here with Xavier.
"I love you" The last word I could manage to say before blacking out.
