Memories

Jesse's stomach lurched as she fell from the dying Witherstorm,screaming and trying to twist herself around.
She landed in water,which was cold,but the joy that Jesse felt nearly overcame it.She did it!The Witherstorm was dead! Actually dead this time.

She resurfaced,seeing the welcome faces of Axel and Olivia waiting for her.Then she remembered Reuben.
"Jesse,are you okay?"Olivia asked.
Jesse wasn't sure,nor did she care.

"Reuben,where's Reuben?!"Jesse could feel herself panicking.

I mean,surely he would have landed in the water,too?

"Can you hear that?"Axel's unibrow furrowed in confusion.

It was a sort of wheezy noise,as if someone was jumping up and down repeatadly on a dying zombie's chest.Jesse climbed out of the water and looked around,seeing a pink shape on the stone a few blocks away.
"Reuben!"Jesse shouted.

She ran over to the pig,which was wheezing and weak.

"Oh no..."Olivia breathed.

But Jesse refused to believe it.Reuben tried to get up,but collapsed back onto the ground,eyes round and sad.Dying eyes,it seemed,with the extra mist glazing them.

"Please don't leave me,"Jesse begged,her throat welling up with overwhelming emotions."Please!You can't do this to me,buddy!"

The Reuben's eyes closed and he stopped moving.Seconds later,a porkchop in his place.Jesse picked up the porkchop with trembling hands and tears threatening to flow.

Lukas was the only one who could speak."J-Jesse...I am so,so sorry."

Jesse woke up crying and trembling uncontrollably.Petra jolted out of her bed and went over to her friend.

"No...Jesse,shh..."But Petra knew that words could not fill the hole in Jesse's heart.

For a split second,Jesse stopped crying and sat up.For another second,she stared at Petra,then burst into tears.Jesse  wrapped her arms around Petra's waist,taking her by suprise.

"I know..."Petra whispered and returned the hug,going lower.

Jesse began crying into Petra's chest,with the now awake Olivia watching.

That was really painful to write.Well,the memory,at least.I actually had to put my tablet in front of my face so my brother couldn't see me on the verge of tears.I suppose listening to Pink helped a little.It was her album thing that all the songs were made of anger,so I felt more anger than sadness.
