Chris, Ashley, Sam, Mike, Jess, Matt and Emily survived a night of hell in the Washington Family's lodge on Blackwood Mountain. But now comes the hard part - learning to cope and moving on. Everyone is damaged from the events of the night on the mountain, in some ways permanently, and things will never be the same. People change, friendships end, couples break up, and more heartache ensues. But good change comes too - surviving friendships grow stronger, new relationships form, and more. And no one's ever really gone. There may be some lost friends watching over all of them from beyond the grave...
Warning: NSFW - gun violence, thoughts of suicide, gore, drinking, smut, language, violent flashbacks/nightmares.
Couples: Smike (Sam x Mike), Chrashley (Chris x Ashley), Jett (Jess x Matt)
"Back to this hellhole, huh?"
"I wouldn't call it a hellhole" He mutters. "Oh, but I would." I snap harshly. He almost flinches. "(Y/n), I'm sorry. It wasn't supposed to get out of hand like that..." I cut him off. "I know. But I can't believe you would ever think of doing that. It's cruel!" He looks away in shame. "I'm sorry." He says again. "It's not me you should have apologized to." I say, hot tears threatening to spill. I didn't know who to feel about him. I was so completely in love with him, maybe I still am, but they were my best friends. I just wish everything could have been different.
