𝙂𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙡𝙨 and agonizing screams of pain ring through Blake's ears as she watches the cranks tear into the evil man. A small triumphant smirk appears across her lips as the sound echos throughout the lab.

Quickly snapping her gaze away from the agonizing screams, Blake quickly rushes to Thomas' side, her and Teresa each latch onto each arm of Thomas' bicep, helping the boy to stand on wobbly feet as the three quickly rush away from the danger of the cranks.

Lights flash and flicker all around the facility as Blake uses all her might to hold Thomas up. "This way! Here." Teresa shouts through the loud creaking, turning the other two into the opposite direction as they walk through the burning building.

The building rumbles and shakes, making the three stumble as the facility shifts from the blows. A gasp sounds from Blake's lips as she and Teresa hold onto Thomas tightly.

Pushing past the sparks making the three duck their heads, Blake reaches out and pushes the hot metal door—swinging it open. Coughs and wheezes escape from the three as the smoke from the orange glow climbs up the stairs below them.

Grunting and gasping as Blake uses all her strength to help get Thomas up the few flights of stairs, the small brunette ignores the continuous pounding of her blood rushing through her ears.

Finally getting to the last step, Blake reaches her small and shaky hand out, pushing the last metal door with all her might. Coughs and gasps escape from the three as they push forward onto the top of the tallest building. The orange glow from the flames crackling and popping around them light up the night sky as another loud boom cracks through the air, causing all three to freeze.

"Come on. We gotta go back." Blake tries, nodding back towards the door as she, and Teresa spin Thomas around.

A sudden bright orange glow appears in the doorway as a loud boom and creaking whips through the air, making all three teenagers stumble back as they look at the exit in a shock and fear.

Backtracking to get away from the fire, Thomas suddenly falls back, slipping out of the two girl's gasps as he raises his hand up to put pressure on his wound, groaning and gasping in pain.

"No." Blake breathes out through the tears, falling onto her knees beside the boy to help sit him up. "Thomas." Blake's voice shakes as she lifts the man she loves up into her lap, letting the tears finally flow down her flushed cheeks. Thomas pants and gasps as he squeezes his eyes shut, blocking out the pain wracking his weak body, knowing this was probably the end.

Teresa steps back from Thomas and Blake, blinking the tears away as they roll down her cheeks, wanting to give the two some space as they say their goodbyes.

Blake's emerald orbs streamed with salty tears, cascading down her terrified and heartbroken gaze. Slowly reaching her shaky hand down to Thomas' exposed wound, the small brunette feels the same sharp pain stabbing into her heart as Thomas' pain-filled whiskey orbs look up to meet hers.

Letting herself sob uncontrollably as her body trembles with a mixture off all kinds of emotions, Blake slowly rests her forehead against Thomas'. The boy's whiskey orbs soften as they stare into his favorite pair of terrified and heartbroken orbs.

"I love you." Blake breathes out, not being able to contain the emotions swirling around in her chest as she shakes her head. "I'm so sorry I didn't tell you sooner." The small brunette chokes back a sob as Thomas' heart flutters at those three words.

Dropping his gaze down to her lips as his eyes impossibly softened, Thomas slides his shaky and weak hand up to brush a strand of loose brown locks away from Blake's face.

"I'm sorry too." Thomas whispers "I love you more than I can put into words. There's nobody else I'd rather spend my last moments with."

Blake chokes back an ugly sob before Thomas gently smashes her lips onto his, the kiss setting Blake's skin aflame as their lips move in sync. Thomas groans, a deep rumble escaping out of his chest as the two passionately melt into each other's embrace. Time seems to stop as the two let stay tear flow down their cheeks through the kiss.

Suddenly a whirling and familiar chopping sound echos through the air, causing all three teenagers to snap their wide orbs over to the noise. Hope and joy fills the small brunette's small frame as the chopper comes into view.

Blake quickly whips her head back behind her to Teresa. "Come on." The small brunette turns back and uses all her strength to help Teresa haul the injured boy up.

Stumbling and grunting as the three slowly make their way over to the helicopter, Blake's heart pounds against her chest as the ground beneath her starts to rumble. "We gotta hurry!" The small brunette yells over the whirling of the aircraft.

"Thomas!" Vince screams out, clicking his safety harness. "Blake!" The man yells over the loud booms and creaks sounding through the night air.

Nearing closer to the edge, Blake's worried gaze meets Minho's as he stares at the three with wide, worried orbs. A small smile appears on the small brunette's lips as they finally come to the edge, Jorge sticks out his hand. "Give me your hand!" The man yells over the loud whirling.

"Get closer!" Teresa screams, wobbling on her feet as Blake gets ready to push Thomas with everything she has left. "Push as hard as you can!" Blake screams over the loud cracks whipping through the air, glancing over to Teresa as strands of hair blow around her face.

Pushing Thomas with almost everything they have left, the two girls sigh in relief as the boy crawls into the open aircraft door. The whirling of the chopper cuts through the air as Minho quickly turns back around to his best friend, looking at the jump in pure terror.

"Come on, Blake! Jump! I got you, I promise!" The boy yells as the small brunette bounces on the balls of her feet, building up the confidence to make the jump.

"I—"

"Don't even start!" Minho scolds over the loud noise. "I'm not losing my best friend. I've got you. I promise." The boy repeats himself as Blake swallows the lump in her throat, feeling like her whole body has turned into jello.

Glancing over to Teresa, the small brunette nods before letting the adrenaline take over her body, not thinking about what she's about to attempt. Pushing herself to kick her feet into a sprint, her ears sound with loud thumping noises, the adrenaline kicking into her system all an all time high. Blake's legs kick as she glides through the air, her heart pounding so fast it could beat out of her chest.

A soft gasp escapes from the girl's lips as her foot barely makes it to the edge, her emerald orbs growing wide as her feet plant onto the metal floor. Her arms wave as she tries to steady herself, feeling her body starting to fall back slowly before a hand quickly reaches out and harshly pulls her inside to safety.

A warm body wraps their arms around the small girl's frame, tucking their head into the girl's messy hair. Blake's heart calms its rapid beats as she clings onto the person hugging the small girl as tightly as he can muster.

"I told you I had you." Minho whispers, holding onto his best friend like she was about to slip away from his grasp.

Letting out a choked sob as Blake feels the relief flooding through her veins, the girl pulls away slowly, just in time as a loud crack sounds through the air.

"Teresa!" Blake screams out, shifting to turn towards the other girl still standing on-top of the building.

"Come on, I've got you!" The small brunette stretches her hand out, her eyes softening as Teresa's wide blue orbs look back at the small brunette. "I promise." Blake yells, ignoring all the bad that the other girl had done.

If she had to be honest with herself, Blake had hated the other girl with a passion—ever since she came up into the box.

The torture and pain the other girl had put her through made the hate grow into wanting her dead, but the girl had saved her.

She saved Thomas.

There was good in her heart and Blake wanted to start over. The confessions the other girl made while mixing the cure in the lab, made the small brunette have a change of heart. Sure, what Teresa did was wrong, but  she made sacrifices to try and save the world.

Emerald orbs widen as Teresa stumbles to stand, letting a smile spread across her lips. Blake's heart sinks into the bottom of her stomach as she watches the girl send her an apology through her teary blue eyes.

As if in slow motion, the ground beneath Teresa falls, the small brunette screaming over the loud rumble as Minho quickly holds onto his best friend's arm tightly as she tries to jolts forward. Thomas and Blake's screams of horror cut through the air as the other brunette falls into the orange glow below the aircraft.

Pressing his lips together as he pulls the small brunette away from the edge of the aircraft, Minho guides the sobbing girl away from the danger's edge. Letting himself fall down with the girl as she loses the adrenaline keeping her body up. Minho holds onto the girl tightly as she sobs into his shirt.

The sounds of the blades spinning above the aircraft drown out the noises all around her as Blake slowly glances over to Thomas, noticing his eyes fluttering with exhaustion and pain finally taking over his weakened body.

"Thomas!" Blake's shaky and desperate voice calls out, muffled through the sounds of the whirling noises around them.

Letting himself fall into his back, the boy grunts in pain as the small brunette lifts the hem of his shirt up. The boy's ears drown out the screams falling from Blake's throat as she hovers above him, frantically calling out his name and barking out orders to the people surrounding her.

Dazed and exhausted whiskey orbs peer up through his blurry vision. The last thing Thomas sees before his eyes finally flutter shut, is the heartbroken and worried emerald orbs, streaming with tears from above him.
