Strong arms slide underneath me and lift me up. In my sleepy state, I forget where I am and wrap my arms around Rory's neck. It's not until I see Anne lying in her bed, her eyes gaping and unblinking, do I realise what the hell is going on.

"Anne... Anne!" I scream out her name over and over again, but Rory just carries me away. I flail and kick in his arms as hard and fast as I can. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Not yet. Anne… Anne, please don't go, please don't go!"

I grab Rory's shirt and try to tear through to the flesh with my nails. He's taking me away from her...he's taking me away from my best friend!

"Put me down! Let me see her!"

He just keeps walking out of the room, and Mrs Bitch from hell closes the door behind her. I scream into Rory's chest, my wails muffled by his ripped shirt as he carries me back to my own room. The rest of the guys are already waiting for me. Rory sets me down on the bed and I just crumble, breaking down like I ever never done in my entire life. The tears, the shattering wails, seem to claw out from deep within my being and tear me asunder. It’s everything I’ve been holding back finally rising to the surface.

"A-Anne's gone... She's really gone..."

Joshua slides behind me on the bed and takes me into his arms. He rocks me softly while Ethan and Nathan rub my legs and Lucas takes my hand. Rory stands beside us, watching, as a single tear rolls down his cheek.

"I… I thought I had more time…. more time with Anne."

"I know, babygirl," Joshua whispers, running his hand through my hair. "I know."

I cry into his neck. "Why is this world so fucking cruel? I have n-nothing left for it to break."

It's Rory who answers this time. "You have us, and guess what, wee one?” He crosses his arms and stares hard at me. “We're un-fucking-breakable."
