Into The Light

Chapter 30.

Aaron descended until he hit the ground. I saw people surround him. Finny was hit and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was dead.

“Aaron.” I choked out. I heard Alex’s shaky breathing. It was quiet as further gunshots echoed through the trees.

“Is he dead?” I said, turning to Alex. He just looked away.

“I asked if he was dead!” I shouted, my face heating up. Alex just glanced to me.

“Willow.” He whispered.

“You don’t know…” I whispered, as he pulled me into his arms.

“Willow you need to understand.” He began.

“You don’t know.” I said louder.

“Willow, listen to me.” He stated.

“You’re useless! You don’t know!” I yelled, pushing him off me.

“No one can know if we’re all the way back here.” He stuttered out.

“Admit it! He may be dead!” I screamed.

“Yes he may.” He said, quietly.

All the anger and rage seemed to empty out of me, as I fell to my knees.

I chocked out a cry. He can’t be dead. It’s Aaron.

He can’t.
