Your POV
I'm running through the woods away from him. He's not far behind. I hear his calls out to me, but I ignore him. He hurt me and now he wonders why I want to leave him. I'm not going back, I can't go back.

At this point I have no clue where I am or where I'm running to. The only thing I do know, is that I'm running away from him. I see a clearing ahead, hopefully good news. His footsteps and voice were closing in, but I refused to go back. I pushed forward, despite my body begging me to stop.

I broke through the clear of the wood line to discover that I had only a few feet between me and a cliffside, still yet I had no time to turn around as he was hot on my trail. I slowed my steps quickly and carefully approached the edge. Upon peering over the edge, I discovered it was quite the drop. I had to squint to see to the bottom.

My head snapped around at the sound of his running footsteps coming to a quick stop. "Go away! I'm not going back Nate! I'm never going back." I spoke rather clearly through my exhausted state. My breathing was heavy and I felt as though I ran marathon, h*ll I probably did. I looked back over the edge, part me wanted to jump. No! What am I saying?!

"Y/N? Come on. Jus...just step back from the edge. We can talk. Just please?" He had a panic stricken look in his eyes as he spoke. I knew he must've thought I planned on jumping. In all honesty, I do not want to die. As bad as things have been and however many times I begged it to end, I did not want to die. Then again if death meant not being forced to go back with him, then maybe it wasn't such a bad option.

He took a step forward and extended his hand. I instinctively stepped away from him, forgetting how close to the edge I truly was. I stumbled a bit but quickly caught my footing.

"Y/N! D*mmit. Ok..Baby please I know that you are p*ssed at me and you have every right to be. Just please....please step away from the edge? Look I'm backing away, just a few steps forward please?" He begged me and motioned me forward. Tears were forming in his eyes, he was about to cry? For me?

I took a small step forward but nothing more. I refused to stand any closer to him, despite the rather large gap between us. I loved him, and somewhere deep down I still do love him. He hurt me though, he hurt me so badly. Why? How could he? My tears were falling heavily again, so I looked away from him. I hated letting him see my tears. My eyes were focused on the deep trench, the one that my body was mere inches away from it's edge.

"Y/N?" My eyes snapped back in his direction. "Please don't do it. I understand that you are hurting. I'm sorry. I'm soo...sorry..." his words fell and I saw struggling to choke back the tears. "Listen...you don't have to come back with me. It's clear you don't want that. You...you are ready to jump to avoid being wi..with me." The tears that were previously brimming his eyes, now fell like waterfalls and were followed by his pained cries. Watching his pain was hurting me. D*mn him! Why did he have to make me feel this way?! Then my own tears became sobs. "Y/..Y/N...please? Just let me walk you back. You can get your stuff and never see me again. It's clear you don't want to anyway." He swiped the tears from his face and extended his hand.

I wanted to believe him. I truly did, but what if this another one of his games. Just another ploy to get me to fall all over again. I hesitantly and reluctantly moved my body forward a small bit, but when he stepped forward I retreated. I didn't trust him. Why can't he just leave?! When I looked back into his eyes I saw fear and hurt. Fear because I was once again on the edge and hurt...well because he did care and I was breaking him...the way he broke me. Looking at him so strung out made my heart crush in an unimaginable manner. I knew then and there I still loved him, I always would, but I can't be with him. It would hurt too much. "Nate?" His eyes that were already locked with my own, seemed to gaze even deeper than last. "If I go back, I'm leaving for good. You hurt me...you really hurt me. I don't hate you, I'm just upset and confused." He had a look of relief, yet they still held his pain. I knew the walk back was going to be tense.

He extended his arm once more, this time keeping his feet planted. I nodded and started to take a step forward, when suddenly there was a loud crack. Then the ground beneath my feet began vanishing. The cliffside was breaking and I was going down with it. My eyes locked with his as i new this was my fate. I was going to die. Without any hesitation he lurched forward and grabbed my hand. I knew he couldn't save me though. I was dangling over the edge in his hand, nothing but air under my feet.

"Na...Nate?!" I yelled as he grasped firmly onto my hand.

"I got you...I got you! Just hold on Y/N! I'm going to pull you up." As hopeful as I am, I knew that it was an impossible task and I can hear the cracks of more off the cliffside crumbling, ready to give at any moment.

"Nate?! Nate, it's going to break. We can't both make it. Please, jus...just let me go." I said with tears in my eyes. "Save yourself."

"NO! I'm going to get you, love. Just don't let go. I. Can. Do. This." He said trying to pull me up at this impossible position. He did it. I pried myself up onto the edge and into his arms, but the moment he pulled me into him the ground beneath us gave.

We both were falling to our indefinite death. I latched tightly onto his body and we transcended downwards. Time seemed to slow. The dust particles and breaking rock floated around us. The breeze that was being formed by gravity pulling us. The look in his eyes as we held each other in our final moments. He not only saved me, he's dying for me...with me. He truly did love me. And I forgive him, because I love him.

I closed my eyes and allowed the darkness to consume me, but when I opened my eyes everything changed. I was practically being blinded by a large, white light. It was warm and welcoming, but I felt like I was missing something. I looked away and searched the rest of the place, but it was just nothingness. This whole place was silent and still. No breeze of wind, no sounds in the distance, nothing. The place seemed like nothing existed here. And besides the bright orb of light, this place was completely black. It's truly a void of absolute nothing.

I turned towards the light again, content in knowing there was nothing else for me to see. As I turned towards it's blinding direction, something caught my eye. No someone. I saw a figure of a man...I saw him. I briskly walked towards him as he reached out to me. "Nate?!" I called out.

He smiled wudely. "Yes, love." Before now, I'm pretty sure I would have slapped him for calling me love, but now it didn't bother me. I forgave him. I love him.

I ran to him and we embraced. The moment was perfect. And even in this place, where time didn't seem to exist, I felt like time was stopping for us.

"I'm sorry Nate, I wa..." he quickly cut me off, by shushing me and pulling me closer.

"No. You shouldn't be apologizing. I'm sorry love. I never meant to hurt you. If I...just...everything would be different, had I not hurt you. But in the end, I'm still with you. That's all that matters." He kissed my forehead and pulled away slightly. Then he looked at the bright light cascading around us, in the darkness. "Are you ready? They're waiting."

I furrowed my brows in confusion, but shook it off. I felt at peace. Instead of questioning him, I nodded. I took one last peek back into the darkness and still saw nothing. But the emptiness I felt before, the missing piece, seemed whole. I found what was missing; I found who was missing. Together we intertwined our hands and stepped forward. I was happy.

The beauty consumed is in our new happy home, and the orb fell dim. But it will shine brightly again. It will shine for the next soul who is passing through and every soul after that. It's a beautiful thing in my opinion. Death and loss are tragic and sad, but the orb shows us life. Our new beginning. Our happy ending.

A/N: Well what did you think, lovelies?! A little sad, but I wanted that happy ending! This is one of my shorter works, so I apologize. I think it was just over 1500 words. BUT I have quite a few in the works. I have about three halfway done, so those will hopefully be going up soon. I HAVE NOT GIVEN UP ON THE REQUEST! I PROMISE! And the promised spooky oneshot...IS COMING! It's just really BIG idea and it's currently halfway finished and over 7000 words...Most likely I'm going to make it a two part, just so it's not SO long. (I also had a small bit of writer's block for awhile...slowed me down lol)

Also if you haven't, I think you lovelies should check out my other book "When Darkness Consumes". Its a Dark!YouTubersXInsane! Reader. Tell me what you think. I think you should enjoy! And I'm working on it as well. I want to bounce back and forth between chapters here and there, but we'll see haha! Alright lovelies! I hope you have an incredible day! Let me know your thoughts! XOXO
