The Mortician's Daughter
As the sun went down, you ended up on the ground
Andy sat in his bunk on the bus, thinking about how he felt. As he sat there, contemplating his feelings, he began to realize that this is how Carolyn must have felt when he left her like that. It was an awful feeling. He felt empty, hollow, and dead inside.
"I have to go to her." He stood up, grabbing his jacket and heading towards the door.
"Andy, where are you going?" Jake called after him.
"I need to go to her. I can't just leave things the way they were left off. I need to fix this." He said before he jumped off the bus and ran towards the main road. He jumped in the first taxi cab to stop for him and gave the driver Carolyn's address. If this wasn't love, he didn't know what that was.

After seeing Andy again, Carolyn's mind began to become cluttered with thoughts and racing emotions. She didn't know whether to smile or cry or both. Love involved too many feelings. So, she did the only thing she knew that could get rid of all these pestering thoughts. She was going to dance.
She grabbed her ballet shoes and headed out into the cemetery. The fog today was extra heavy and the sun was beginning to set. She knew she was going to need to be quick before it got too dark. Even though she loved the cemetery, it was scary during the night.
She started to sway and immediately the thoughts and feelings began to dissipate. She already felt relieved of everything. Until a coarse hand gripped her cheeks and covered her mouth. Now all she felt was fear and extreme panic.
She tried to scream but it was no use. She tried to pry the hand from her lips but he was too strong.
"This," He began. "Is for everything you and your father have done to me. You saved that faggot, and your father took away from me the only good thing I ever had in my life."
Something sharp was thrust into her side and she cried out in pain. The man let go of her body and she fell limp to the ground, clutching her bloody side and praying for help.
"Get away from her!" A familiar voice shouted.
She tried to look up and saw her hero standing there, answering her prayers. "Andy." Was the last thing she managed to say before everything went dark.
"What did she ever do to you?" Andy asked. "Please... I love her..."
When the man heard that, his facial expression softened and he was immediately overcome with a rush of memories.
"You can't do this to me, James. I love her and you know that."
"She doesn't love you back, Riley. She loves me."
"I thought we were friends... Friends don't just do that to each other."
"Well then I guess we aren't friends."
"You're going to regret this one day. Just wait."
"I'm... I'm so sorry..." The man looked down at the lifeless body in front of him and then walked away. He had realized he just killed the love of his life all over again but this time in the form of her daughter.
Andy rushed over to Carolyn's side and lifted her in his arms. "No, Carolyn, wake up. Please." He begged her still, cold body. "You can't leave me again..."
"I have to go to her." He stood up, grabbing his jacket and heading towards the door.
"Andy, where are you going?" Jake called after him.
"I need to go to her. I can't just leave things the way they were left off. I need to fix this." He said before he jumped off the bus and ran towards the main road.
