16-In return

[George's POV]

"I love you."

The last words Dream had said to me before he fell.

The last words I would likely ever hear him say.

I watched in slow motion as he fell into the deep crevasse.

It was in that moment that reality hit me.

Dream had just sacrificed his own life for me. He had died......because of me. It was all my fault.

I let out an agonized scream. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I tried to block out the world around me, hoping beyond hope that this was just a nightmare—that I would wake up in the little room when it was all over.

The ground continued to shake.

I didn't feel it when a slab of stone crashed onto me.

I didn't feel it when my breathing began getting shallow.

I didn't feel it when shards of rock on the shaking ground cut into my skin, leaving long, deep gashes that were surely going to scar.

I didn't notice a second slab of stone rocketing towards me at the speed of light.

I didn't feel the pain as it fell right onto my upper half, suffocating me.

I didn't even feel it when my consciousness started slipping.

I simply could not feel anymore.

I mustered up every last ounce of energy in me.

"I love you too."
