Sasha didn't make it (Part 7)

AN: this will be the last chapter. I might come back later and have here talk to others about this, but I doubt it. Thank you for following me through my first multi-part (and completed) fan-fic that wasn't a omake or one-shot.

Anne and Wally sat together in the living room in silence for a few minutes before Wally started to speak.

"I wanted to apologize. I know I should have done this earlier, but I was scared about how you would react."

Wally then toke a deep breath before Blurting out "I'msorryIkilledSasha!"

As Wally sat in his chair cringing behind his outstretched hands, Anne just sat there staring at him with a blank expression. When He finally opened his eye and saw that Anne wasn't doing anything, he decided to keep talking.

I planted the boom-shroom that blew up the tower. If it wasn't for me, your friend would still be alive. Heh, when I went over that night again in my head, I realized you were telling me specifically not to do it. Not some 'wink wink' don't do it, but a full on 'it's a bad idea' don't do it.

"So, I'm sorry. I know it doesn't make up for what I did, but I hope it can at least be a start."

Anne just sat there, still with a blank look on her face. Looking right at a Wally coted in despair and staring at the floor like it was about to swallow him up. They just sat there like that for a while, before Anne finally broke the silence.

"Do you specifically know how she died?"

He shook his head no. He knew she died in the tower, but not if she just fell or got crushed by debris.

She then told him what happened.

It was a long telling, broken up by Anne's crying and finally capped by her balling like a 6-month old who at the end. Wally just sat in his chair during this, not sure if he should try to comfort her or if that would just make it worse. Eventually Anne calmed herself down enough to continue the conversation.

"I wanted to blame you for that, I tried to blame you for that. I tried so hard, but I can't.

"If you didn't plant those shrooms, then Grime would have killed Hop-Pop. Heck, he might have killed others as well."

This dumbstruck Wally. She was right, because he planted the bombs and accidently saved Sasha, he had saved Hopadiah and maybe others as well.

The worse part was that it didn't make him feel any better.

"I don't know if I can forgive you for what you did, But I do know I can't hate you for your actions."

She then stood up and looked at Wally. "Thank you for saving Hop-Pop, but I don't think I can be around you right now. If I can get my emotions straightened out enough to be around you, I will come to you."

Wally stood and nodded in understanding. "Good-bye Anne, see you around." He then walked out the door, and as he closed the door behind him, he heard a small 'goodbye' from Anne.
