YOUR POV
Four years had passed since the death of Lucas. I had played the songs he taught me many times. I loved them so so much. I wouldn't trade them for the world.
It was 23:00PM and I decided to go into the storage room and play a song on the piano.
I decided to play 'Carry You'.
I know It hurts, It's Hard to breathe sometimes~
These nights are long, you've lost the will to fight~
Is anybody out there? Can you lead me to the light~?
Is anybody out there? Tell me it'll all be alright~
You~ are not alone~
I've been here the whole time singing you a song, Oooh~
I will carry you, Oooh~
I will carry you.
I know you cant remember how to shine~
Your hearts a bird without the wings to fly~
Is anybody out there? Can you take this weight of mine~?
Is anybody out there? Can you lead me to the light~?
You~ are not alone
I've been here the whole time singing you a song, Oooh~
I will carry ou, Oooh~
I will carry you~
I played the piano for about 39 seconds before I started singing the next bit.
You~ are not alone
I've been here the whole time~
You~ are not alone
I've been here the whole time singing you a song, Oooh~
I will carry you, Oooh~
I will carry you (Is anybody out there?)
I will carry you, Oooh~!
I will carry you (Is anybody out there?)
I know it hurts~ It's hard to breathe sometimes...
With that, I finished the song, not realising Mom was listening. I went to bed and fell asleep.
I woke up as the clock went off. Me and Emma had our own bedroom so did Ray and Norman. We're growing up and going through "changes" so we have our seperate rooms from the younger ones.
It was 6AM. I sighed and got ready for the day. Ray had convinced Mom to ship off Conny as it originally meant to be Nat. This is going to hurt like hell.
We did our tests as usual everyday. Me, Emma, Ray and Norman got 300 scores again.
"Yay." I said trying to sound enthusiastic (though I wasn't) and succeeded.
"Yay!!!!" Emma screeched.
"Cool." Ray said. I snickered at his response.
"Oh YEAH!" Norman shouted.
I snickered at the three responses. It was quite funny actually.
"NORMAN!! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A GAME OF TAG!" Don shouted. Norman did nothing but laugh and smile.
We then went outside to play. Though I didn't. I just sat next to Ray by a tree.
He knew what was going to happen later on in the day and he knew that I was by far, not okay with it so he pulled me in for a hug and stared humming a really sweet tune.
"Ray.. What was that for..?" I asked a blushed a little bit.
"You looked down. So I hummed that for you." He said and smiled slightly.
I smiled too.
I then see Conny smiling hugely and My heart broke about the fact that she was going soon..
I brushed the feeling off because I know there is nothing I can do now. She's going to die.
2 HOURS LATER
It came two hours after we all went into the forest and it was time for Conny's shipment. That night of Lucas's death, Ray explained everything to me. How he is working for Mom to keep me, Emma and Norman safe. And he explained the tracking devices. It didn't make sense at first but then I realised what he meant.
"I wasn't as good at the tests as everyone else.. But I promise, When I get to my new home, I'll write letters and I hope that I can be a mother just like Mom! And illnever leave my child! I can do it with Little Bunny!" Connie exclaimed, "I don't want to go..!"
"C-conny.." Don stuttered, in tears.
She started crying as did Don. I had to hold my tears back. I felt like just crying and falling to the ground, but I have to fight it. Ray noticed and pulled me in for a hug. He then stared humming that song that he hummed to me earlier outside while playing.
Conny stopped to look at me after Ray had finished his humming session.
"Before we go.. Can A play one of her songs..? I heard her play on the other night on the piano, It was amazing!" Conny said.
I stood in shock for a minute and tried to wipe my tears.
"Yes! Of course I can! What song?" I asked the sweet girl.
"The one Ray was humming to you just now!" She said.
I had managed to learn that hum on the piano recently. I had heard it enough to learn it. I nodded and started tearing up.
"Come on then, yeah?" I said Softly and gave her my hand.
She gladly took it and I sat on the piano chair and started playing. Everyone watched cautiously.
I started playing the song that Conny requested.
Ray was shocked that I could play it on piano in such short time. I only heard it three times.
After I was finished, the room erupted into claps. I was very noise sensitive so it kind of got to me.
Everyone stopped clapping once they saw I was holding my ears closed.
"Hey, A, are you alright?" Emma asked.
I nodded and let go of my ears. I then bent down to Conny's height.
"I wish you the best of luck at your new house okay? Don't forget about me kid." I said and hugged her.
She hugged me back without hesitation. "I'm going to miss you A." She whispered.
I started crying.
"I-I'm going to m-miss you too, Conny.." I whispered back and let her go.
I waved to her as she walked out the door. I then fell to my knees and started crying hysterically.
Everyone looked at me as if to say "Are you okay!? What's going on!?"
I just got up at brushed it off. I then walked to mine and Emma's room.
I walked in and closed the door behind me. I lay on my bed and looked up at the ceiling.
I'm never getting out of here. For the others, I'll convince Mom to ship me out so that I don't have to worry about her shipping the others out for atleast 3 months As me and Ray share the same birth date. I'll convince her tomorrow, for now I just want to get some rest.
RAY'S POV
After Alexis's burst out there, I was worried and concerned. I've never seen her act like that since the whole incident with Lucas..
Our plan seemed to be working though. Emma and Norman were at the gate and about to find about Conny. I went to go check on Alexis after what happened.
"A..?" I knocked on her door.
"Come in." I heard a faint voice of a heartbroken girl.
I opened the door to see A on her bed crying.
I lay down next to her and hugged her.
"It's okay A.. I promise." I said Softly while hugging her.
She then fell asleep in my arms. I had to leave or I'd get into trouble so I slowly removed myself and laid her down. I then walked out of the room.
I held the lantern as Emma and Norman walked in.
"How'd it go?" I asked. They both frowned. "We didn't make it in time." Norman said as they both walked upstairs.
I noticed they didn't have Little Bunny with them. This is just amazing. I mentally facepalmed. We aren't getting out of here at this rate now.
