I'm sorry to have to tell you this... (Keith and Tim)
(*takes places after the Songbirds finale*)

She still had Mia's blood on her. She still had on the wrecked remains of her party dress and one of the shoes and she still wasn't sure how much of the rest of the evening had transpired, but one thing stood out crystal clear. Mia was dead. Mia had pushed her out of the way and taken an arrow to the heart. An arrow fired by a madman that Marissa had pledged to stop.

She had failed, but that wasn't the painful part. The painful part was that her failure had ended the life of Keith's sister, of Tim's friend. She was responsible for the death of a woman dear to her boyfriend and her brother.

She had to call them. Keith first. Marissa dialed the number she knew by her very heavy heart.

Stone cold silence.

If Keith could explain it, he'd say he felt like he'd walked into a wall right as he walked through the door. But he was too choked up for words. It took a moment, but he started to tear up. He looked at Marissa, then the arrow in her hand, and then...

"W-what? Y-you're kidding, right? Mia can't be..."

He paused.

"Dead?"

Then he was hit by the full impact of what Marissa had told him. It was like taking an arrow to his heart. It dropped him to his knees. The waterworks started, and he just broke down. He didn't feel anything but sadness, and he murmured his wish that it wasn't true over and over again, like a broken record.

	The arrow was cast aside and Marissa moved to Keith, wrapping her arms around him. She had no words for him. What was there to say? She simply held him, as long as he'd allow it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And he allowed it, for as long as he wept. Eventually he managed to work himself up to wrapping his arms around Marissa. "S-somebody...needs to tell Zach." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can, if you want me to. I imagine someone needs to tell your sister as well. And your parents." Her embrace tightened a bit and she kissed his temple. "Tell me what you need me to do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, but thanks. I just...need to go think about stuff." He needed to go kill the bastard that killed his sister. "I hate that Mia died. I hate it so much it hurts. But... I'm so glad that you're still here, and I hope you'll stay with me." No matter what he does. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I love you, Keith. I'm not going anywhere." Even if I'm the reason your sister is dead. (Reply to this)(Parent)
