"Into each life, some rain, must fall..."
Felix stood infront of the facility, raindrops falling down his dress shirt making him tremble lightly. It was over, the restaurant's been shut down, rumors spread, some truths were unearthed, effectively erradicating the chances of Bon's burgers ever being succesful, and Sophie was dead. He didn't know why he still came here (except that was a lie because he knew, deep down, he really did).
"But too much is falling in mine".
The metal door opens with a creak as he steps inside, the air cold and static. He was greeted with the sight of a hallway that's worse for wear. It was extremely dark, dust and grime coated the checkered walls and a thin film of wet dirt was spread all over the floors . Felix felt like crying all over again as he shuts the door behind him harshly, sealing his faith. He opens the shitty flashlight he bought and trudged onwards, swaying from left to right, his footsteps echoing loudly.
"Into each heart some tears must fall"
"But someday the sun will shine"
He reaches the door emblazoned with 'No Employees Past This Point' in bright red letters. He hears music on the other side, his heart thumps loudly in his chest when he realizes it was his favorite song. He breaks the lock with bolt cutters, hoping it'd stop his hallucination, it didn't.
"Some folks can lose the blues in their hearts
But when I think of you another shower starts"
Felix was surprised that Bon hadn't found him yet. He takes a deep breath, chest aching from the effort or the alcohol, he couldn't tell, and with his last remaining strength, he pushes the door open.
He sees Jack.
And Rose.
And Edd, Molly, Sophie.
Felix couldn't breath.
They seemed to be having conversation over diner, Molly was going off about some space facts he'd learned at school, Edd butting in to correct her. Sophie sits quietly, eating her meal as Jack and Rose pretends to listen intently. Their heads simultaneously turn towards him, and his stomach drops to the floor, the facility feeling colder than before.
"Felix!", Jack says enthusiastically, "We've been waiting for you".
"Me?", Felix asks, voice barely above a whisper yet Jack seems to have heard him, His friend stands up, chair scraping the facility floors, and walks towards him. Felix stays rooted to his spot.
Jack wraps an arm around him, although it didn't hold the warmth that his friend's hugs came with. It felt cold, hard, and stiff. "Come on", he ushers Felix to the table, "Rosie went through the trouble of cooking this, have a bite!".
"I- How-", Felix says, eyes unfocused and feeling the urge to vomit. Rosemary looks at him, worried, "Felix dear, have you been drinking again?".
Felix looks up at her as she seizes his hand. She felt cold too, dead even. Felix didn't want to think about that but Rosie's fingers were slippery and textured, he must be losing it . A hysterical laugh bubbles out of his throat until Edd and Molly rushes up to him and hugs his sides, their skin a ghostly shade of red, he can't feel them. Felix breaks.
"Oh dear!", Rosemary says, baffled. Jack's eyebrows crease as he watches his friend burst into tears, "Felix, hey, are you alright?", he shoos the children and crouches down to his level. Felix hears a mechanical whirring and an animatronic hand patting his head. He looks up and no longer sees Jack, but Bon, green pupils bore holes into his skull.
He observes his surroundings and sees Sha, two red figures, and Sophie's mutilated body all staring at him, seated at a rusted metal table. He'd hallucinated seeing the Waltens, they were still dead.
Felix loses all sense of self preservation and lunges for Bon, sobbing like a child. It clutches at him and spoke in Jack's voice and he doesn't understand, doesn't want to understand. He just wanted this to last forever, to feel that everything would be okay. To be talking to the family he'd ruined.
"Felix", Jack's throat crackled and the man looks at him, "We missed you so much".
"H-how could you miss me?", he says, "I am horrible! I killed your kids, I tricked Rosie, I lied to the entire world. Hell, I even caused the death of 4 teenagers! How the hell could you miss a monster like me?".
"Its alright uncle Felix, we're not mad, its not your fault", Edd and Molly (red red red red red-) simultaneously spoke, hands held. "But we really miss you".
"That's right dear", (Sha?) Rosemary? says, tilting her head, "Its been quite lonely here without your personality cheering us up!".
Felix's gaze landed on Sophie (mutilated, oh god, her eyes- ) and she looks away, "Yeah, whatever, I missed you too. You happy?".
Jack smiles and cups Felix's face, "See, everyone here misses you. Its been a long time since you've visited us and we're upset. Edd here, most of all", Edd makes a noise of protest, warning signs were presenting itself in Felix's head, "We want you here all the time , with us. Will you atleast agree to that?".
Its not like he had a choice anyway.
They'd all be beautiful together.
