Summary: Helen's coup of the ARC has resulted in Alex getting shot (S2 Ep3 AU)
Sticky wetness plasters my side, spreading further with each beat of my heart. The warmth of it is a sharp counterpoint to the coldness of my skin. I can feel myself fading with each breath and it hurts. All I want is for the pain to stop, but I cannot let go. I don’t want to, because it means leaving him and I’ve done that once. I will not do it again.
So I cling to his hand, literally holding on for dear life. I hold on for all I’m worth, because he is worth living for.
