My cars continue to ring. I try to shake my head, make sense of things but I am slowly losing my mind.

All I can think about is him. His face, his voice, his warmth.

The fire grows, leaving the orangish hue covering everything. Clouds of smoke disperse into the night sky. Under the flying ashes, my heart is slowly coming to a halt.

“N—No.” I croak. The building is just debris and ashes now.

It doesn’t look like anything inside it survived. But no. My Alex can’t die.
