27. THE ALLEYWAY

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN: THE ALLEYWAY

"What's done is done, what's gone is gone, one of life's lessons is always moving on"

---

YOUR POV.

"And that's my life" I said as Diego and I were standing inside a hole that we had duge that was only a couple of feet deep.

We both had shovels in our hands, digging up more and more dirt while Elliott's body was off to the side in a wheelbarrow with a sheet covered up the body.

While we have being digging, I have told Diego everything about my life, my childhood trauma, my panic attack, seizures, my disease, even about my weak and ill heart.

"Whoa and I thought that I had trauma. Can't believe you made it through, that is impressive. Not anyone could have gone through what you had. Be proud of yourself" he said "I am" I said as we kept digging.

"Are you sure that you can handle this?" Diego asked "Yeah" I said "It's just with your heart" he said "I'm fine" I said "Okay, but let me know if you need a break, I wouldn't mind" he said and I nodded.

'Cause of the heat, Diego stopped digging as he wipe his forehead.

I let out a sigh "You okay?" Diego asked "I'm fine" I answered "No, you're not. I can sense something is wrong" he said "It's nothing" she said "Is it about Five?" he asked "No" I answered "Do you hate your husband?" he asked "I love Five" I said "I didn't ask or say that you don't love him. I ask if you hate him?" he asked "Well, punch me for hating my husband a little because he's being an asshole sometimes" I said before I took a deep breath "But sometimes I wonder if I made the right decision" I said "About marrying Five?" Diego asked as he looked at me.

"I know that Five can be an asshole, but he loves you and you love him, so if you ask me I think you made the right decision" he said and I shook my head "I didn't mean marrying your brother. Even thought he makes me want to punch him at least once a day. I can't imagine loving someone else as much as I love him" I said "Then what is it?" he asked "Not breaking my contact with the Commission earlier and go back to my family but instead waiting for Five" I said before I looked up at him "Bad things happen around me Diego" I said "The apocalypse wasn't your fault, Elliott's death wasn't your fault" he said "I know that" I said "But...?" Diego asked.

"But, we've both know that I'm not the nicest person. I'm actually not a good person. Anger has being in me since I was little. Violence and surviving is the only thing I now know because I've been on survival mode since I was 14 years old. And maybe the time and the universe has had enough of my bad behave and then decided that if I could let someone as sweet, caring, kind and funny as Elliott die like that. I don't deserve to be happy. I don't deserve to be with my family. I deserve to be alone and never be happy" I said "You're not a bad person, Y/n/n. You're hurt but that doesn't mean you are not good. It means you are a good person which bad things has happen to" he said and I chuckled.

"I can't wait to get home and see my family again" I said "I'm sure they will be happen to see you" he said "I'm just a bit scared and nervous" I said "For what?" he asked "For that something will go wrong" I said "Why do you think that?" he asked "Cause things always goes wrong when I'm finally getting back to my life. When me and my family had move to another city. I was away from bulling, away from my biological dad. My heart was getting better. Then I end up in a coma, woke up years later to find out an apocalypse has happen. Then when Five and I think we had stopped the apocalypse, we had just gotten official married and I was reunited with my youngest brother and I was close in seeing the rest of my family so they could also met Five, but then that's ruined when we finds out that the apocalypse is not over and we had to stop Vanya. Then when we have stopped Vanya, we have to travel back to save the world and now we have a chance of getting home. So I'm scared that something will happen" I said.

"Nothing more is gonna happen. You will see your family again soon" he said "I can't wait to get back" I said.

"By the way why were you and Five covered in blood?" he asked "We made a deal to kill some people in exchange of a ticket home. We both took the deal cause it was our only option. I want to see my whole family again for the first time in 46 years. I just hoped they haven't forgotten me, since they haven't seen me for years. I'm not the same girl I was when they lost me" I said "I'm sure they haven't forgotten you" he said "I hope" I said.

"Can I ask you something?" he asked "Yeah" I said "Why are you even following Five, it's clearly that you are had the armor on in that relationship" he said "Until I'm with my family again, Five is all I have left. Beside I love him, yeah he can be an asshole, but I see the kind, caring and soft side of him. He means everything to me and I can't wait to get back and live a normal life with him" I said "Well, you two love each other very much, you don't have to pay attention to see it" he said before he looked at me.

"You know what" he said and I looked at him "I'm actually glad that you and Five found each other, cause you are made for each other and I'm glad that I have you as a sister-in-law" he said before he opened up his arms to me "I know you don't like physical touch, unless it comes from Five or your family, but can I hug my sister-in-law?" he asked and I nodded before we wrapped our arms around each other.

I thought Diego was a tough, selfless and stubborn person, he is, but deep down, he is actually a sweet, kind, soft and caring person.

"I never said this, but welcome to the family" he said "Thank you" I said "And remember, if you need anything, I'm here" he said "Thank you Diego" I said "I mean it, you're part of the family now and if you need me to beat Five up a bit or just punch him, I've been waiting for an excuse for a long time" he said and I chuckled "You're a good person" I said as I pulled away.

"Well, I think I will find some sticks and made a cross out of them and then decorate it will flowers" I said "Good idea. Then I will finish this hole" he said "I will be right back" I said before I left.

THIRD PERSON'S POV.

But as soon as Y/n had left Diego heard footsteps in the grass behind him "Oh good" he said as he kept digging "It's you and your stupid face" he said "Weird time to garden" Lila said as she kept walking towards Diego.

"Can we talk? The truth this time" she said "Oh, I know the truth. You used me, Lila. You're a liar" he said and she shook her head "Oh, come on. What did I really lie about?" she asked "Who you are, who you work for, why you're here, what you want form us. That's all" he said "Yeah, but the rest was true" she said as she moved her arms before she stopped.

Diego let out a sigh as he kept digging "Everyone lies, Diego, and...and I was only lying to protect you" she said as she took a few steps closer to him and he snapped his head up to look at her.

"Mostly" she said as she stopped a couple feet in front of him. He took a step closer to her before putting the shovel blade into the ground while holding the end of the handle "Do you know how hard it is to trust people when your whole childhood was bullshit and manipulation?" he asked "Uh-huh" she said quietly with a small nod.

"Then why would you do that to me?" he asked and she looked away to avoided his gaze causing him to nod and take a step back.

"Tell you what, I'm gonna finish this hole" he said as he started digging again "Save the word, and forget we ever met" he said with a grunt.

Lila turned around but stop when she saw Elliott "Wait, is that...is that dentist-chair guy?" she asked "Elliott. Your Swedish buddies got him" Diego said as Lila lifted the sheet off to look at Elliott "Oh, shit" she said before dropping the sheet over him.

"I liked that shit-muppet" she said while looking down at the ground before she quietly reach to her back.

Lila grabbed out a small bottle before glancing back at the sheet that covered Elliott "Well, here's to Elliott, I guess" she said as she unscrewed the lid to the bottle before taking a few steps towards Diego who looked at her.

"Um...I'll miss his crazy theories..." she said before she turned to Diego that kept digging "...and I'll miss sharing his bed with you" she said and causing him to stop digging and look at her.

Lila tilted her head back, pouring down some liquid from the bottle into her mouth before handing the bottle to Diego.

Diego tilted his head back, pouring the liquid down his mouth before she threw the bottle off to the side before he started digging again "We done now?" he asked.

But then Diego stopped digging ad he felt a weird feeling in his body "Oh..." he said as Lila turned her head before spitting out the liquid "Balls" he said before he felled backwards into the sand, passing out "Yup" Lila said before she walk over to him, putting her hands under his arms before dragging him away.

YOUR POV.

I found some sticks and some beautiful flowers before I made a cross of the sticks and I then decorate the cross with some flowers.

I walked over to the grave before I put the cross on it "You were a good guy Elliott, weird but in a good way. Thank you for helping me, my husband and his family. I'm so sorry for the end you got" I said with a sob before I wipe the tear away from my eyes.

"If I ever get another kid, their middle or first name will be Elliott" I said with a smile "Goodbye my friend, thank you so much for everything" I said before I turned around and left.

FIVE'S POV.

I blinked into the apartment, my wide eyes looking around until they landed on my wife who was sitting on the couch. She had her headphones on and she was looking down at her walkman that was in her hands which was laying on her lap.

"Y/n/n" I said softly, not wanting to spook her and and she turned her head to me "Hi" she said with a small fake smile "You're back early" she said "Yeah, just came here to make sure you were here" I said "Well, I'm here" she said.

If Y/n also just too scared, if you spook her or if you startle her, it can also raised her heart and pulse and it can cause a heart attack which is why I'm always careful around her, so I don't spook her.

"Are you okay? I know that you cared about Elliott" I said "I'm fine. It's just the first time I see the dead body of someone I care about" she said "I know it's just--" "Five, I'm fine. I think right now the only thing that get me through this, is you, my walkman and the thought that I will see my family soon" she said and I nodded.

"What are you listening to?" I asked "Our playlist" she replied "Which song are you at?" I asked "The fifth song" she said "Ahh, 'make you feel my love'" I said "Yeah" she said with a nod "What verses is it on?" I asked "The last verses" she replied.

Both Y/n and I have listening to the playlist so many times that we could the order of the songs and all the lyrics of the songs by heart.

"'The storms are raging on the rolling sea. And on the highway of regret'" I sang "'The winds of change are blowing wild and free. You ain't seen nothing like me yet'" she sang "'I could make you happy, make your dreams come true. Nothing that I wouldn't do'" I sang as I walked over to the back of the couch before stopping behind her.

"'Go to the ends of the Earth for you. To make you feel my love" we both sang.

Y/n tilted her head back to look up at me as I ran my finger tips down the side of her neck.

'"To make you feel my love"' we both sang.

Some of the times when we were listening to the songs, we sometimes sang them together.

Y/n leaned her head into my right hand, trapping my hand against her neck while she smiled.

"I know what you're doing" she said "And that is?" I asked "You are trying to tickle me" she said "I just want to see you smile and hear your laugh which is why I'm trying to reach the spot where I know you are most ticklish" I said.

"Stop that" she said "I'm not doing anything" I said as I brought my other hand to the other side of Y/n's neck.

YOUR POV.

I then put the walkman in my pocket and I turned around before grabbing both of his wrists.

"I hate you, Five Hargreeves. You're an asshole" I said as I leaned closer to him until our nose was touching each other as I let go of his left wrist.

He smiled as his hand moved to my face, brushing his thumbs across my cheeks as I let go of his right wrist "And you're my wife and the love of my life" he said and I smiled as I rolled my eyes "I guess you're my husband and the love of my life, too" I said and he smiled.

"I love you, forever and a day" he said "I love you too, forever and a day" I said as he dropped his hands from my face before he reach for my hands.

He grabbed them before he brought them up to his lips and I smiled as he kissed my knuckles.

I loved it when he does that.

I then pulled my hands from his before I got up "We can do a lot of that when we get back home. So come on old man" I said "Who are you calling an old man? You are older than me by actually two years now. And you know that you actually look good at your age" he said "Just get my jacket" I said "Yes, Mrs. Hargreeves" he said as he grabbed my jacket that was hanging over a chair by the kitchen.

FIVE'S POV.

We arrived at the alleyway where we were gonna meet the others.

I pulled up the briefcase from a dumpster as Luther ran up to us "Where is anyone?" Luther asked "You're the first" Y/n said "What?" Luther asked "Yeah" I said.

Then we spotted Klaus came running at the end of the alley with his hands stretched out to the sides. He almost ran straight into the wall as he turned down the alley.

"We made it" he said as he ran down the alley before he stopped in from of us "What do you mean 'we'?" I asked but Klaus just moved one of his hands beside his face.

The three of us looked confused at Klaus as he started groaning and grunting "Get out" he said almost choking out his words while letting out a shuddering grunts.

"Out" Klaus said before he put his hands to his stomach as he hunched over before vomiting on the ground by his feet.

"Gross" Y/n said and Klaus let out a groan as he fell to the ground, still holding his stomach.

"I can't believe it. I mean, you're here" Luther said.

Luther and I knew that if anyone of our siblings would be late, it would be Klaus.

YOUR POV.

"We've got eight minutes left" Five said as he looked at his watch. "I just had the strangest dream" Klaus said as he was laying on the ground while whimpering.

"Where are the others?" Five asked "Diego and I was going to bury Elliott but when I came back he was gone and Elliott was buried" I said "Did Diego say where he was going?" Luther asked and and I shook my head before I looked over at Five who looked frustrated.

"Don't worry Honey, they will be here" I said "And if they're not?" Five asked as he turned to me "You do remember what we did to get this briefcase, do get this opportunity. Can you be able to life with yourself?" he asked a little aggressive.

Both Five and I never enjoyed killing people and I would always hold more guilt than Five. I have sob myself to sleep every night since I landed in the apocalypse, and it have now turned into crying with the lost of Adam and Milo and all the things with killing.

I knew that if Five's siblings didn't show up, we would be stuck here.

THIRD PERSON'S POV.

Y/n, Five, Klaus and Luther were all waiting in the alleyway without knowing that Allison and Vanya was in danger while Diego had being kidnapped.

---

Lila was sitting on a chair in front of the desk while Diego was sitting next to her, still passed out.

"Diego Hargreeves..." Lila said as Diego started to wake up. He let out a grunt before sitting up.

He looked at his body before he looked at Lila who was sitting next to him, looking directly at The Handler that was sitting behind her desk.

"Meet my mother" Lila said and Diego looked towards The Handler "Mother this is Diego...my boyfriend" Lila said "What?" Diego asked as he had his hands on the desk while he was looking at her before he looked back at The Handler.

YOUR POV.

"We've got a minute left!" Luther said as he slammed his fist on the dumpster.

"What's going on, guys? Are we going somewhere?" Klaus asked hoarsely as he was laying on the ground.

"It was a simple task. It was a simple task!" Five said as he walked back and forth aggressive.

"And all we had to do was be here. Didn't have to fight a giant seas monster, no. Any army of mutants? Nein" Five said aggressive.

"I can't believe this" Luther said "It was handed to us on a silver platter" Five said "Could you just moan a little softer?" Klaus said as he sat up "My head is killing me" he said as he put his hands to his ear.

"Listen to me, you useless puke bag, we just blew our chance to save the world!" Five said aggressive.

Then we heard the briefcase start charging and clicking as the sound echoing around us and Five looked down on the briefcase before he let out a scoff "God damn it" he said annoyed "Shit" I said before Five grabbed the briefcase and tossed it into the air.

The four of us watch as the briefcase disappeared in a soft blue light meaning that our chance of getting home was blown.

"No" I said with tears in your eyes. I had now lost all hope. I was never going home, I was never going to see my family again, they were never going to meet Five and the rest of his family.

"We were that close. That close" Five said with a sigh before he turned around to head back towards the building, scratching the back of his head.

"Now what?" Luther asked "Now nothing, Luther, all right? Make your peace with God" Five said aggressive "What? What about Allison and Vanya?" Luther asked "Screw them both. They should have been here" Five said.

"What about Diego? He's quite a responsbile young man, no?" Klaus asked.

Five angrily and aggressive ran across the alley before kicking a pile of boxes that was standing next to the dumpster.

"Something must have happened to them" Luther said "Screw Diego, all right? Screw everybody! Y/n and I was better off on our own in the apocalypse" Five said aggressive as he pointed at me.

"Five!" Luther shouted his name "Come on" he said and Five spun around, looking more aggressive "You know what, Luther? It's every siblings for themself now. How 'bout that?" he asked as he walked towards the back door of the building before slamming the door shut.

Luther looked at Klaus who let out a sigh "Did Five just get meaner?" he asked.

"Klaus, go check on Allison, okay? Make sure she's okay. Find the others and we'll meet back here. I'll handle Five" Luther told him "I will go with you" I said before the two of us turned around and entered the building.

We followed Five up the stairs, catching up to him "Hey! Five doomsday is coming. We gotta think of a new plan" Luther said "Don't you get it, Luther? It's over, all right? We're already dead" Five said aggressive.

"Then where are you going?" Luther asked "I'm going to do the unthinkable" Five answered "The hell is that supposed to mean?" Luther asked and Five let out a sigh "I was really hoping it wouldn't come to this" he said "Come to what, Five?" Luther asked but he just walked into Elliott's apartment.

"Five" Luther said but Five just walked into a room before closing the door.

"Five!" Luther said as we entered the apartment and I shut the door behind us "Come to what?" Luther asked as he knocked on the bedroom door, trying to get an answer out of Five "FIVE!" Luther shouted but nobody answer.

"I will talk to him" I said before I opened the door "Hey" I said before closing the door behind me.

Five was sitting on the bed, looking down on the floor "You okay?" I asked "We've have lost, Love. We are never getting back home. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry about everything" he said "No" I said as I sat down next to him "Don't be sorry. It's not your fault. It's not your fault that the apocalypse will happen. It's not your fault that your siblings didn't arrived. You have being the one that have saved us all. You have done everything you can to save us" I said and he smiled as he looked at me.

"I don't know what I will ever do without you" he said "I will never leave your side. The two of us are made for each other. Every day I struggle to understand how I got so lucky to be able to call you mine. I don't know what I did to deserve you, but I'm never letting you go" I said "I'm never letting you go either" he said and I smiled before we pressed our foreheads against each other while closing our eyes.

"What did you mean that you were gonna do the unthinkable?"  I asked as we pulled away "Do you remember what day it is tomorrow?" he asked and I nodded "The president will arrive" I said "And that means--" and my eyes widened "Oh no" I said as I knew what he meant "Yeah" he said "Do we have to?" I asked "It's our only way" he said "How do you expect we do this?" I asked "I don't know" he said.

"Time spend with the people you love, it's worth every second"

A/N: I like the talk the reader had with Diego in this chapter.
