We all know too well the characters we become invested in that just die right before our eyes. I'm talking about books, TV shows and movies. Our favorite entertainment isn't always the happy ending, but instead the most tragic endings and plot lines that leave us drowning in our own tears. Here are the most tragic fictional deaths (in no particular order) that I will never, ever get over.
1. Denny Duquette (Grey's Anatomy)
No matter how many times I've seen this episode, I still cry like a baby every single time.
(Don't worry though he came back as the most infamous villain in Walking Dead)
2. JT Yorke (Degrassi TNG)
Just rip my heart out, why don't you? This was everyone's favorite character and he just dies, a horrible and sudden death. Not okay.
3. Lexie Grey and Mark Sloan (Grey's Anatomy)
I grouped these two together because they died from the same reason and it was horrible. Brutal. Emotional. Romantic. I cried for two days. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO GET MARRIED.
4. Bing Bong (Inside Out)
LIKE NO DISNEY NO. WHAT KIND OF TORTURE IS THIS?!
5. Mike Delfino (Desperate Housewives)
When I watched the series over again I had been dreading this moment from the first episode. When it finally came time for my favorite character to die I cried forever. I might still cry.
6. Ellie Fredricksen (Up)
This movie created one of the best love stories ever in the shortest time, and it still resonates deeply.
7. Jamie Sullivan (A Walk To Remember)
You go through the entire movie, getting attached to her, and then she dies at the very end leaving you with nothing but an empty box of tissues.
8. Caretaker (The Longest Yard)
He made you laugh, made you love his character, and then suddenly, dies. Of course.
9. Stoick The Vast (How To Train Your Dragon Two)
Now this one was just mean. Not only did he die but Toothless had to be the one to kill him?!
10. Mama Longneck (A Land Before Time)
Does anyone else remember this horrible moment from our childhoods? :( :( :( :(
11. Glenn Rhee (The Walking Dead)
Starting to wish the Denny didn't join walking dead...
12. Tyreese William (The Walking Dead)
One of the bravest, kindest and most humane characters on Walking Dead, so of course they had to kill him off.
13. Cedric Diggory (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire)
HE DIED ONLY TO BECOME A VAMPIRE. SERIOUSLY? NO. HE IS A WIZARD DAMMIT.
14. Derek Shepherd (Grey's Anatomy)
Just, no.
15. Ray (The Princess and the Frog)
This was a BRUTAL disney death. So vivid, so cruel, so intimate.
16. Noah and Allie (The Notebook)
I feel like romantic movies are really just a sick form of torture.
So there you have it, some of the most memorable and horrible deaths of my favorite characters that I had become all too attached to.
