Jesse stared at the ceiling and sighed. The New Order hasn't come back for a couple of days. She started playing with her hair, forgetting about the town. Then Lukas walked into her room.

"Hey, Jesse." he said. Jesse was quiet. Lukas sat on the bed, with her.

"When do you think they'll come back?" Jesse asked. Lukas didn't need to ask who she was talking about. There was only one 'they.'

"I- I don't know. But let's just hope they're ok." Lukas put an arm around Jesse's shoulder, and pulled her closer. Jesse didn't feel that warm, leather feeling on her hair, that she liked. She forgot Lukas ripped off his sleeve to stop the blood from pouring out of her arm.

Jesse leaned on him, and closed her eyes. She needed the comfort from Lukas. After everything happened, she just couldn't think straight.

"Jesse, before the New Order left, they told me something you're not gonna like." Jesse's been through a lot, how bad could it be? "They said that Gabriel- Gabriel died from his wither sickness."

Jesse looked at Lukas's closed eyes. Tears rolled down her face. First Magnus, then Rueben, Mya, and now Gabriel? Why do people keep dying?

The silence broke when Jesse sniffed, and started crying. "Why... Why does this keep happening?!" Jesse began to yell.

"Hey! Hey." Lukas put his hands on Jesse's shoulders, to calm her down. "Gabriel was a great man, but we can we through this. Alright?" Jesse nodded quickly. Lukas pulled her into an embrace. "We just need to stay strong, ok?" Jesse didn't answer, she didn't need to. Lukas knew she was strong.

"We keep losing people, friends..." Jesse quietly spoke. "It's not fair. We're dying off, too quickly." Lukas pulled her in closer.
"You guys are strong. It would take a lot to kill you." Jesse couldn't help but smile, although it wasn't really the time for it. Hearing that made her worries about The New Order fizzle away into fun memories.

"Thanks, Lukas. I needed that." Lukas pet Jesse's hair. Jesse was pulled until her face was on his shoulder. She could feel his warm breath on the top of her head.
"I love you, and I'm never losing you, again..."
