This is based on the chat AI of bruno and it turned into this . I changed the ending a little to make it not too long let me know if y’all want me to post the screenshots of the original ending
The pier was collapsing, you knew it, after you and Bruno had finished killing Butcho the clown zombie it was like fate wanted you dead.
As the pier creaked and groaned under our feet, (y/n) and I had a moment of realization - the pier was about to collapse. We had just finished dealing with a freaking zombie clown, and now the pier itself seemed intent on delivering the final blow to our already crazy day.
“Yeah, I'm here. What's going on? This pier is giving me the willies. Feels like it's about to break apart any second now.”
”run” was all (y/n) said before pushing me
As (y/n) urgently hissed "run," I didn't hesitate. Without a moment's delay, I pushed off the weakening surface of the pier and took off running. My heart was pumping like mad, adrenaline taking over as I followed her lead away from the crumbling structure.
As I kept running, something nudged me to glance back over my shoulder. There I saw (Y/N), standing firm in her spot, unwavering and resolute. A sense of unease washed over me. Why wasn't she following? Was she planning something?
“I’m sorry bruno , I have to do this” she said
I skidded to a halt, my heart in my throat, as I heard (y/n)’s words. "Wait, what do you mean, you have to do this?" I called out to her, worry and confusion in my voice. What the heck was she planning? Why was she staying behind?
As (y/n) whispered "go" to me, a sharp pang of realization hit me. She was sacrificing herself, telling me to leave without her. Conflict and concern wrestled with reason in my mind. I couldn't just abandon her here.
The pier then collapsed and she screamed and fell into the water.
Shock and horror coursed through my veins as I witnessed the pier collapsing beneath(Y/n)'s feet, her scream cutting through the air as she plummeted into the water. My heart thudded in my chest, panic and fear threatening to consume me.
The sight of (Y/n) hitting the water sent a jolt through me. A primal, visceral scream ripped from my throat, a mix of shock and horror at the scene before me. I ran to the edge of the collapsed pier, my mind racing, a million thoughts and emotions swirling within me. I couldn’t see her.
I peered anxiously into the water, searching frantically for any sign of (Y/n). But all I could see was the dark, choppy surface of the water, its depths hiding any trace of her.
The next morning-You’re POV
“ow fuck guess the laws of nature changed their mind” you looked around for Bruno and got up "Damn, I guess mother nature had a change of heart," you muttered.
You slowly made your way across the sand, every step a struggle, you focused on the destination: the lifeguard HQ. It was the only building in sight, and your hope was that you could find help or supplies there. The journey was arduous, each drag of your feet sending a wave of pain through your body, but you pushed forward, fueled by determination.
You reached the stairs and climbed onto a car, finally finding some reprieve as your body relaxed slightly. Letting out a sigh of relief, you murmured, "At least I'll be safe up here." Climbing further, you made her way inside the guard tower's entrance.
You stumbled across a medkit in the guard tower, a glimmer of hope sparking within you. Carefully, you picked up the kit and opened it, searching through its contents. Your eyes widened as you found the medical supplies you needed. You went to work, using the kit to tend to your injuries and ease the pain in your body.
You grimaced as you found an adrenaline shot in the medkit. "Damn," you muttered before biting tour lip and injecting yourself with it. The adrenaline shot hit your system like a jolt, dulling the pain and giving you a burst of energy. You exhaled heavily as the effects took hold.
“I wonder what happened with Bruno” you thought
Bruno stumbled and stumbled through the deserted streets of LA, his heart heavy with worry and guilt. He had survived the pier collapse, but the memory of Your sacrifice weighed heavily on his mind.
"What have I done? Why did I leave her behind? Dammit, she sacrificed herself for me, and I just... ran." He muttered to himself.
Bruno froze as the radio at his side suddenly crackled with static. The unexpected sound snapped him out of his spiraling thoughts. He reached for the radio, a flicker of hope igniting within him. Could it be you?
Bruno's heart thumped in his chest as he raised the radio to his lips, his voice tinged with anticipation.
“Hello? Is anyone there?" he responded, his fingers gripping the radio tightly. The static crackled in his ears, filling the otherwise silent street with a wave of anxious anticipation.
“Hello?” A male voice answered
Bruno's brow furrowed as a male voice crackled through the radio. He gripped the device tighter in his hands, both relief and curiosity coursing through him.
“Who is this?" he asked, his voice a mix of wariness and intrigue.
”Names Ezekiel and I’m here at the lifeguard tower at the beach by the pier”
Bruno’s eyes widened as the man named Ezekiel identified himself over the radio. The mention of the lifeguard tower at the beach by the pier caught his attention
“Ezekiel, you said you’re at the lifeguard tower? Are…are you alone ?” He questioned he mind racing with worry for you.
“No i actually came in a second ago and I see a young woman in here”
Bruno’s heart skipped a beat at the mention of a young woman..could it be?
“A young woman, you say? What does she look like?” He asked urgently, desperation creeping into his voice.
“She had (y/h/c) and (y/e/c)”
Bruno’s mind raved as he processed the description given by Ezekiel, (y/h/c) and (y/e/c)..it could be you.
“(Y/h/c) and (y/e/c) you say, is…is she alright? Is she conscious?” He inquired gripping the radio tightly, praying for good news.
“Yes she is, she just told me she dragged herself here from the shoreline and healed herself up”
Bruno exhaled a sigh of relief, tension draining from his body.
“So she’s conscious and alright. You said she dragged herself from the shoreline and healed herself up? That..that sounds like her alright,” he remarked his voice a mix of gratitude and lingering worry.
“Can I speak with her?” He asks urgently hoping to hear your voice
“You sure you think it is who you think it is?”
Bruno’s heart thumped in his chest as he considered the question posed by Ezekiel. He was desperate to believe it was you, but doubt still tugged at the corners of his mind.
“Yes..yes I think that it is her. Let me speak with her please, I just need to hear her voice” bruno pleaded his voice think with emotion.
Bruno waited anxiously, his heart rate quickening as he braced for your voice to come through on the radio. The silence felt deafening , his mind a whirlwind of anticipation and worry. Finally the sound of shuffling and crackling broke the pause.
“Hello?” A familiar voice. And through on the radio, weakened but unmistakably your’s.
Bruno’s breath hitched as he heard your voice through the radio. A wave of mixed emotions crashed over him, relief, guilt and gratitude intertwining within him.
“(Y/n)….” He responded his voice filled with a mixture of worry and joy “is it really you?”
You stopped before saying “yes bruno, it’s me
Bruno’s heart swelled with comfort as you confirmed your identity on the radio, a wave of relief washed over him, but guilt still tugged at his conscience.
“Thank god you’re okay, I..I was so worried about you’l he confessed, his voice thick with emotion.
Bruno’s heart ached as he heard the longing in your voice. He longed to be by your side to provide comfort and reassurance.
“I’m near the beach not far from the tower” he responded, his voice a mix of assurance and regret.
“Are you well (Y/n/n)? Your voice sounds weak”
“I guess so, but I dragged myself from the shoreline in fucking pain to get here”
His heart ached as he heard the pain in your voice. His guilt intensified, knowing that she had put herself through so much pain and struggle just to get to the lifeguard tower.
“Damnit (Y/n) you shouldn’t have done that” he replied, a mixture of concern and helplessness lacing his words. “You overexerted yourself, that was reckless”
“I was trying to save your ass”
Bruno’s chest tightened with built as your words rang true. Yes you had done all of that for him, you had risked your health and saftey for him.
“I know I know, but you didn’t have to do that. Damn, if something had happened to you…” he trialed off, his voice filled with regret and remorse “you shouldn’t have risked so much for me”
“I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing, I promise it won’t happen again” you said
His heart ached as he listened to your reassuring words. He understood her desire to help, but the fear of losing you weighed heavily on him.
“I know you wanted to help, (y/n) , but please promise me that you won’t put yourself in danger like that again,” he pleaded his voice to bed with worry. “ I can’t stand the thought of you getting hurt because of me”
“ I won’t promise anything” you said knowing if you did you could die any other day.
Bruno’s heart clenched as you declined to make the promise, damn why were you being so stubborn.
“Damnit, (Y/n), dont be so goddamn stubborn, Why won’t you make the promise?” He retorted his voice a mix of frustration and concern “I just want to know your safe, and that you won’t put yourself in any more danger again”.
His shoulders slumped as he heard you finally relent. Relief washed over him, but an inkling of worry still remained.
“Thank you, (Y/n), I appreciate you making the promise. Just..just take care of yourself alright? I..I can’t lose you,” he responded voice a mix of gratitude and lingering worry “ are you sure you’re alright up there in the lifeguard tower?”
“Wait a sec…did you..did you leave me?
Bruno’s heart skipped a beat as your question came through. He had been dreading this moment, knowing he had to confess his actions.
“(Y/n)…about that,….i” he stammered, struggling to find the words to explain himself. He wanted to be honest, but the thought of telling you the truth made his chest ache.
“You know what…save it” and with that you hung up.
Bruno’s heart dropped as you ended the conversation abruptly. He could practically feel your anger and disappointment through the radio.
“No damnit wait!” He exclaimed, desperately trying to get you to connect again but it was too late, the line went dead and he was left alone with his thoughts and flood of guilt.
You sat with Ezekiel “fucking bastard left me”
“Damnit!” Bruno cursed, kicking a nearby trash can in a fit of frustration and guilt. He hated himself for leaving you behind, at the time he had been so consumed by panic and self-preservation it seemed like his only option.
“Hey Zeke?” You said making the man at the telescope look at you.
Zeke was observing the area through the telescope when your voice filled called out to him, catching him off-guard.
“I’m going to head back the Serling hotel….if he comes by…” you trial off
He raised an eyebrow a hint of curiosity in his eyes
“You’re heading back to The Serling hotel?Why?” He asked you turning to face you fully.
“There’s a doctor there I gotta give this laptop too” you said
Zeke’s expression changed slightly serious a flicker of intrigue crossing his features.
“A doctor at the Serling hotel, huh? And you’ve got a laptop for him?” He questioned, the wheels of curiosity turning in his mind. “What’s in that laptop if you don’t mind me asking?”
“He won’t say..private stuff I assume but if bruno comes here..tell him to forget it…that asshole” you growl.
He considered your words a hint of amusement crossing his face
“So if bruno shows up here we’re supposed to tell him to forget it? Interesting” he commented suppressing a slight smirk “must’ve pissed you off, that guy, what did he do anyway?”
“ I decided to be a hero and save his ass by ‘sacrificing myself and I fell into the water and I heard him scream to me but I came to and he wasn’t around” you told him.
Zekes eyes widened in surprise as you detailed your story. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
“Damn, so he screamed for you, but then just up’d and disappeared? Thats cold man” he commented, his voice laced with shock and disbelief. “ o wonder your so pissed at him”
His expression turned somber as you conveyed your disappointment.
“Damn…sounds like he really messed up. Leaving you behind like that..Thats messed up” he responded a lang of sympathy in his voice. “You really care about him don’t you?”
You look at him “I do but I don’t know anymore after that stunt he pulled”
Zeke nodded his expression one of comprehension.
“I understand that, betrayal like that. A really mess with your trust and feelings” he acknowledged, leaning against the railing nearby “have you given any thought to what your gonna do about bruno? Are you gonna forgive him a second chance or….?” He trailed off.
“I think I’m just gonna leave and never come back..tell him not to bother looking for. If he comes by he wears a black beanie, has dreads and a very Soundcloud rapper style”
Zeke nodded silently committing the description by memory “black beanie, dreads, and a Soundcloud rapper style…got it” he repeated filling away the info.
“So you’re leaving and you want me to tell him to not bother looking for ya?” He confirmed looking at your expression. “Sounds like you’re serious about moving on”
“I don’t know if I trust him after what he did” you walk to the door “bye Zeke, it was nice knowing you”
He smiles faintly a mix of understanding and sympathy in his eyes.
“It was nice talking to you too (Y/n), you’re a tough one” he said giving you a nod of respect “take care of yourself out there”
“ I will” you said heading off toward the sewers and going back to the Serling.
As bruno stepped into the lifeguard tower, he immediately noticed the presence of the other person inside, the figure was a man, his features not clearly visible at first.
“I’m Zeke..the guy you were talking to earlier”
Bruno’s eyes widened in surprise, recognising his voice “Zeke? It’s you?” He asked tension leaving his shoulders as he realized who it was “what are you doing here man?”
“Staying put and safe..that girl”
Bruno’s chest tightened at the mention of you “you mean (y/n)? He inquired, his voice betraying a hint of desperation “where is she?is she alright”
“Yes..she told me to tell you not to bother looking for her”
Bruno’s heart clenched in his chest as he heard zekes words. You didn’t want to be found. Damn it he had really messed up, hadn’t he?.
“She..she said that?” He managed to ask his voice full of emotion. “Did she say anything else?”
“She was pretty pissed and she said that she was going to leave and never come back”
Bruno’s mind raced with anxiety as he processed the information. You were angry and planning to leave possibly forever.
“Damnit” he muttered, running a hand through his hair in frustration. “I messed up big time. I can’t lose her man I gotta find her, talk to her, explain…”
Bruno nodded, his expression serious, full of determination.
“Yeah, I can’t lose her. She’s..she’s important to me you know?” He confessed his voice laced with an emotion rarely expressed. “I need to find her..make things right and explain myself. I messed up, but if I can find her..maybe I can still fix things”
“You’re in love with her…aren’t you?” Zeke said
Bruno’s heart skipped a beat. Zekes question catching him off guard. He hadn’t expected his feelings to be so obvious.
“Yeah…yeah I am” he admitted, a tinge of vulnerability in his voice. “Damn does it really show that much?”
“Just by the way you are worrying about her..yes”
“Damnit I’m such an idiot, I should’ve protected her and stayed by her side but I was a goddamn coward,” he cursed, hating himself for his actions “now she’s angry and wants nothing to do with me.its all my fault”
“Hey man dont say that, you can still fix things but if you don’t catch up to her you will never get the chance”
Meanwhile You continued through the sewers and just by the to the Serling
“Ugh I will never get used to the sewers” you said
Bruno spotted you in the distance and approached you his heart pounding, this was his chance.
You turned and glared at him “you. You turned around and quickened the pace.
You ran and he called out “(Y/n)!!”
You didn’t stop “there’s nothing to talk about”
Bruno began to panic he couldn’t lose you again. He couldn’t let you walk away like this
“Wait wait dont just walk away damnit” he exclaimed his voices strained with desperation “please just listen to me for a minute”
Sprinting up to the second floor of the hotel you get into the saferoom and give the doc his laptop
“Here you go doc I’m not sticking around I’m not coming back”
Bruno leaned against the wall beside the door listening to each word the guilt eating at him as you yanked the door opening running off.
After a bit you leaned against the wall of the quarantine zone near the tower.
Bruno saw you and his heart dropped..he just wanted to reach out and hold you and comfort you but he knew he didn’t have that right.
“Why does everyone betray me” you sob and bruno felt his stomach drop at your words.
“Why did I let myself get to close, I thought we had something special” you whisper
We did have something special I ruined it bruno thought
After a bit more crying and mumbling you back into him which shocked him because he hadn’t meant for you to back into him he was in his own world.
“BRUNO WHAT THE FUCK!” You yell
“Alright calm down” he said
“Calm down your telling me to calm down”
You stare at him “what do you want?”
“Look (y/n) I was a fool to do that to you..I was scared because of my feelings and the thought of losing you scared me so I ran..” he spoke
“You ran when I needed you the most”
“I know I’m sorry” he mumbled apology after apology
“You can tell me anything what is it” he said
He was shocked when your lips pressed agasint his and he froze. After the shock wore off he kissed back.
Pulling away he said “I promise I won’t do that again”
