𝟐𝟏 'Can't Leave Her'

A/N:

Ok so I wrote this chapter in my "Gabriel Imagines" book. I thought that I'd publish it on this book too because I feel like it deserves more attention lmao. If you've already read it then thank you! This chapter made me really sad, but I'm proud of it. Also, go to my account to read more chapters of that book! (Basically in Rim of The World Y/N dies at JPL and this is Gabriels P.O.V. There's also a chapter before this with the same story line. I know this never happened in the movie, but I put a lil twist.)

(Continues from "I'll Be Ok.")

(Gabriel's P.O.V.)

What was I thinking? I just left her. She told me she loved me and that's why I needed to go? To save myself? Why did I listen? I should've stayed. I should've died with her...

I continued to run even faster as the building had come crashing down. I made it out alive. Running over to my group of friends they all engulfed me into a group hug.

"I- I should've stayed! I should've stayed with her!" I cried, as I collapsed into the arms of my comforting friends.

"What happened?" Alex asked.

"She's still in there, and I left!" I sobbed.

"I- I just left..." I trembled.

"Shhh it's ok." Zhen Zhen said, hugging my head.

"Hey man we- We gotta get outta here, I'm boutta pass out again." Dariush said, holding his bloody stomach.

"Shit c'mon." Alex said, getting up and putting Dariush's arm around his shoulder.

"C'mon." Zhen Zhen said, pulling my arm up as they all began walking away.

Not walking along with them, they all turned around to look at me.

"Gabriel, lets go." Alex said, waving his hand towards him.

"You- You guys can go." I replied.

"C'mon man, it's not safe out here anymore. The building hasn't fully broken down yet. We gotta go find help." Dariush complained out of breathe.

"Don't worry about me, I can't leave just yet." I said, looking back to JPL.

They all gave each other a look before continuing to go search for help. It felt like if I went with them, I'd be leaving her behind. Watching the group as they got further and further, I heard the loud crash's of the building behind me. The whole upper part of it came falling down, creating a huge cloud of dust. I began running away from it as it felt as if I were being chased. The cloud grew bigger, until it was all aired out into the sky. I began looking around for her.

For Y/N.

Everything that I had walked past was either apart of the building, or any piece of the machines inside of JPL. For the past hour I haven't found anything, that's until I spotted something. A body.

I stayed where I was, staring at the body that lay motionless on the ground. Observing on what it looked like from afar, was...

Her.

Y/N.

A single tear rolled down from my eye. I couldn't decide whether or not I should walk up to her body. Half of me wanted to run up to her and expect her to just- Wake up. The other half was too scared of what I'd see. She was in the burning building, so what did she look like now?

You know what? Fuck it. I did this. I left Y/N alone to die and I don't care what I'd see as long as it was her.

I ran passed the pieces of the building, some were still in flames. Coming closer to what I had left behind, showed a limp body. From the angle I was staring from, she was turned over to her side. I couldn't see her face other than the over sized flannel, the shorts, the converse, her legs... Thinking of what she could've been saying to me right now if only she were alive. This is all my fault. Falling to my knees I began to cry.

"Why did you tell me to leave!? I shouldn't have listened!" I whaled.

I bent over to her. My arms holding onto her, and my head buried in the side of her. I just stayed there, and cried.

Slowly I brought my head up to look at hers. Her body nor her head was burned, but it wasn't alive. She was covered in blood, and dirt. I carefully brought my hands to her face and turned it around. Not a single burn, other then some small bloody scratches from other events. Caressing her face, I rubbed her cheek with my thumb.

"I'm so sorry." I cried.

*flashback*

"You know, once this is all over you could come live with me." Y/N said, as we continued our journey to JPL.

"You don't think they'd put me back in Juvie?" I asked.

"Gabriel, knowing that we saved the fucking world, I don't think any ones going to end up locked up. If anything we'll be given a prize or some shit." she laughed.

"Well- What would your parents think?" I asked, wondering what her parents were like.

"Don't worry so much." Y/N giggled.

I looked to the floor still worried. What if this doesn't end?

"Hey." Y/N said, grabbing my hand.

"I promise, once all of this is over we'll have a fresh start." she said, as she stopped walking.

I looked down at her hands as I held the both of them.

"Promise?" I asked, looking up to her.

"Promise."

*End of flashback*

"You promised me." I cried, looking at her stone cold face.

She was such a fighter. Through the whole building and the fire she still looked as beautiful as I remembered. Her long eyelashes lay shut, with the soft pink lips I wish to see smiling.

Her smile.

To me, her smile was everything. The second she smiled, I knew I was in love with her. Seeing her smile is what made me the happiest. The happiest seeing her happy. Her smile other then the person she was, is what made her gorgeous.

"I love you." I said, kissing her cheek.

"Hey!" I heard a yell from afar.

My head shot towards the voice to be faced with firemen. I didn't get up to say anything, but I panicked and looked back at Y/N.

"Hey kid! Come over here! It's not safe over there!" the fire man yelled, but I refused to get up.

Once the man realized I wouldn't budge, he came running towards me with others following from behind him.

"We need to get you out of here." the firemen said walking up to me, but stopped moving when he saw Y/N.

"We need the ambulance!" the man yelled, to where the medical car was.

"Hey kid we're gonna need you to come with us." another man said.

"No." I replied.

The group of men all looked at each other, signaling something. That's when two of them came up to me and started to pull me from under my arms.

"No! Let go! I need to be with her!" I yelled, kicking and squirming.

"Let go! You don't understand! I can't leave her!" I cried.

They wouldn't listen, and continued to drag me out of the junk yard of pieces.

I continued to fight them as I saw a couple of men put Y/N onto a strap. Pulling her away into the ambulance.

"NO!" I screamed as I watched the ambulance doors close.

The anger that I felt caused a spark in me that made me stronger. I finally beat the men's grasp and ran over to the ambulance truck. As I was running the car had already started, and the two men came running after me. I ran as the truck began driving away, making me run faster.

"Wait!" I yelled, running into the middle of the street.

"Wait..." I cried, falling onto my arms and knees.
