Burning pile

It goes, all my troubles on a burning pile

All lit up and I start to smile

If I, catch fire then I'll take my turn

To burn burn and burn, and burn and burn

—————————————————————

This is your huge trigger warning for suicide and heavy themes of death.

Sadie had been hurt,like a gun shot through the chest,many times by others,but now by the one she had loved the most. Her whole body ached with emotional pain and she was sick of it. Sick of everything.

Her hand grazed the rope gently,loose ends pricking her delicate fingers. She stared then at the chair above a hook on her ceiling,tears coming and going.

She picked up a pen full of ink and a piece of old paper from one of her notebooks,and watched the ink flow as she formed words.

Her final goodbye.

—————————————————————

Y/N needed help,she needed to vent. She held Michael in her arms,sitting in the empty hospital room where the bite victim once lay,now taken away to have his body kept somewhere new. Only sobs and light bragging filled the room,white and smelled of antiseptic. Y/N looked at the boy she was holding in her arms like a child,eyes sore and red. She held his chin up and looked intently at him,resting her thumb on his bottom lip as he cried.

"Michael...I love you..I'll make sure that I keep you safe,from whatever the world has to offer.." She says warmly,then moving her face closer to his until she can feel the warmth coming from it,making her chest pound. She kissed him softly on the lips,long and tender. The feeling of her soft lips crashing onto Michaels was like heaven on earth,especially after all this stress. Both of their faces heated up and the kiss tasted salty from tears.

Y/N released from the warmness and held him in her arms again,he Michael still crying,just softer. "Michael.." she said softly. "I need to..I need to see Sadie,will you come with me?" She asked,looking into his eyes full of love.

He stared for a moment,and then nodded hesitantly,not wanting to leave her loving arms.

He gripped her hand tightly and got up from the chair,stumbling slightly from the sudden movement. The two opened the heavy door with a click,and started to walk down the white coloured hallways. They didn't say hello or wave to anyone,just staring ahead at the goal,the exit. Michael gripped y/n's hand tighter as they passed more people who stared,out of nervousness.

They were all judging him.

The boy who killed his little brother,how horrid. Such a disappointment. They tried to ignore the stares,but that was like trying to ignore a blinking red button from a ventilation failure,knowing what will happen if you ignore it.

Y/N's small heels clicked on the tile floors as they got closer to the exit,as they got closer,a feel of sudden urge to get to Sadies house hit y/n in the heart and she began to run down the hall to the exit,Michael dragging behind like a rag doll.

Y/N placed her hand on the cold handle,opening it slowly. It almost seemed as the sun had greeted them with its warm glow,embracing them,but the glow went away as soon as they stepped outside. "Her house is this way,come on,Michael. Lets hurry.." y/n said,looking him in the eyes.

——time skip——-

They knocked on the door. No answer. Y/N knocked again,no answer. She rung the doorbell. No answer. She pounded on the door,

No answer.

A knot grew in her stomach as she pulled a key from her dress pocket,which she had forgot was still covered in fresh blood,some browning in the middle. "I didn't think..it would have to come to this but I guess it's what I need to do.." y/n said,holding they key that was protected from the blood,encased in her pocket. She shoved the key into the door,and turned.

It unlocked.

"Sadie,it's me,y/n and Michael!" She yelled,trying to get her friend to come downstairs. She closed the door behind her and walked upstairs,Michael feeling un easy the whole time. Y/N liked that Sadies stairs didn't creak,unlike hers at home. Adam wasn't even here,which concerned her. Sadie said she lived with him. Y/N reached the top of the staircase and knocked on Sadies door.

"Are you in there,Darling?" She asked,knocking again. Her eyebrows furrowed with a sense of worry in her face. She pounded on the door heavily. "Okay,Sadie..I'm coming in. If you are even home.."

Y/N placed her hand on the silver doorknob and opened it fast.

....

What?

Sadie was hanging from a rope on her ceiling,chair knocked down beneath her,skin pale and eyes dull. Y/N felt sorrow,she felt pain. She felt incomplete. She felt guilty.

Michael stood there,dumbfounded by the sight. His eyes were wide and tears formed in both of their eyes. "Sadie..? OH MY GOD SADIE!!" Y/N screamed,climbing onto the chair and taking the rope off her friends dead body,face stained with tears. She held her friend close and sobbed long and loud tears. Michael walked closer and stayed silent,looking at a note on Sadies bed.

"Y/N...there's a note.." he said quietly,stammering.

Y/n gripped the notes and held onto Sadies body dearly,now noticing a large red mark around her bruised neck.

The note read..

Goodbye,everyone. Goodbye my angel who hurt me more than it should have,and although you made me feel loved,I guess living here just wasn't made for me. I'm not cut out for it. I've been hurt too many times and I cant afford to be hurt again,my beloved. I need to disappear,into the darkness of the void that will welcome me. Only God knows If heaven or hell awaits me,or just a cold,dark bottomless pit. Either one is better than here. Don't cry,don't mourn,I love you all,except for Adam you filthy fucking garbage bag I should have killed long ago when I first thought about it. Here are my confessions.

Last night in the name of lovesickness and the fear of rejection,I attempted to kill Michael Afton in the comfort of his own home,I stabbed A man named Ramon over nine times in the back and left his corpse to burn along with my old house when he tried to do dirty things to me. And now,I have to confess. Confess my profound never ending love for y/n. Darling,my angel,I'll love you forever and ever,even when gone. I'll stay by your side even if you don't want it,I'll be your guardian angel. This is my final goodbye.

See you all on the flip side.

Let me briefly explain what happened next.

Y/N ran to the police.

Michael went with her.

They all cried hard and long.

Y/N couldn't bring herself to leave Michael,and they both weren't stable enough to be alone with each other.

They stayed the night.
