Alternate ending

The bike wouldn't start, soldier were approaching Lee and I, then the bridge exploded. We were thrown 20 meters through the air the heat was immense we landed with a thud, I crawled over to Lee he was face down I rolled him over, he spoke to me, his voice was faint
" I'm going to die Ellie," he said
"No! You can't die! I won't let you!"
" it's too late Ellie, goodbye."

We were all crying Homer placed Lee's body in the grave and Kevin began shoveling the dirt back into the pit.

Throughout the next month or so Lee's grave became decorative, everyone would occasionally place a flower or pebble on the burial, I have now placed 37 roses from the hermites hut on Lee's resting place, one for each day he has been dead.

Despite the grief we have experienced we have decided we will head back to wirrawee and fight, fight for our country, our family, our friends and for Lee.
