Faint

Andy's POV:

Her grave has flowers blooming around it. Tiny white flowers, all surrounding her tombstone like a miniature wall. She would've loved it. I know that.

"Andy?" A small voice asks, and I turn my head a fraction to see Juliet standing behind me.

"Hey," l murmur back, feeling conflicted.

She takes a step towards me and kneels down beside me, gently placing a shaky hand on my shoulder. I lean into her touch, and she visibly relaxes that I'm not breaking down.

"She loved you, you know that."

I let out an exasperated breath, "I know. But, if she really did, why did she do it?"

Juliet sighs and glances up into the clear sky, the sun beading down on us. The three of us.

"She wasn't happy alive, you know that. What she went through," she shudders, "it was hell. Plus all the commotion with her health... She wasn't meant to be with us Andy. She was more than us, which was why she had to go so soon. "

I nod along to her reasoning. Courtney was more than us all, she was beautiful and kind, smart and selfless. An angel. She was an angel. She was my angel.

"It's been five years.... But I can't get over her death. I don't think I ever will. I-I miss her," I confess.

Juliet nods, a sad smile gracing her lips. "I understand. But what you need to understand is that she's in a better place. She's at home in the clouds. She's finally happy."

I nod again, before standing, offering Juliet a hand. She smiles and takes it, letting me pull her to her feet. She sways slightly on her feet, and leans on me, gaining her balance back. I wrap an arm around her waist as a sign of support before glancing at her grave one last time. Juliet squeezes my hand and I squeeze back, turning away.

"Andy? Let's go home," she mumbles, leading me away from her.

I am quick to follow, and I press a hand to her swollen abdomen as we walk away from the park. The last thing we hear is the sound of the birds happily chirping and the whistle of the trees before we are gone.

Notes

And I keep lying to you guys.
This was actually, legit, no jokes, the last and final chapter of Faint. I felt like ending it on a happy note especially since Ijust watched Juliet Simms 'End of the World' and I'm not going to lie guys, I kinda teared up. If you have not already, please go check it out. It's a beautiful song and the music video features Andy! So yeah. Go. Now. Watch it. Love it. Breathe it. Live it.

Im done lol
