CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT ‘LAST WORDS’
~REN~
A few days had past. I stayed in the guest room next to Helena’s room. I wanted to stay sleep. I heard the door open to the room and someone walked in and sat on the bed next to me.
“Hey dude...” I heard someone say quietly.
I opened my eyes tiredly and looked around the room. I saw a bright light hit me in the face I turned away and looked at the person sitting behind me. It was Lenn...in a suit...he smiled at me. I looked down at the covers and sat there.
I heard Lenn sigh and put his hand on me, “at least say goodbye...” he said quietly. I guess I can see him...i don’t know...
“Whats the point he’s gone anyway…” I said quietly.
He looked down, “you shouldn’t think like that...” he mumbled.
“But it—”
“I know he would want to see you…before he went” he said quietly, “...i know he would want the person he loves to see him one last time” he said sadly...
I love him too…but...i...i don’t know…, “you will always be able to visit him…” I heard Lenn say sadly.
I looked up at him and he was looking down…“…really?” I muttered quietly.
He smiled at me and rubbed my neck, “yeah…I bet he would love your company...” he said sadly
I looked down and looked up at him “Lenn?” I called out quietly
He turned around, “yeah dude?” he said.
I looked down at the covers and looked at him, “…you look nice in a suit…” I muttered quietly.
He smiled and looked at me, “thanks...id like to see what you look like in a suit too” he said before leaving the room. I sat up and looked around the room and saw how empty it is.
I walked downstairs and into the kitchen and saw Lenn sitting at the counter. I was wearing a black suit with a blood red tie and red cuffs. Helena was sitting beside him messing with an apple; Mrs. Syina was leaning against the counter. Lenn looked up at me and smiled. Helena glanced over her shoulder, “Hey little bear” she said annoyed. Lenn looked at her then looked down. I looked down and walked into the kitchen and sat on a stool next to Lenn.
I laid my head on the tile counter and just looked at the tiles in my sight. I looked up at Len who was looking down at the tiles tracing around them with his fingers.
“Ren do you want anything to drink...or..?” I looked at her and shook my head and laid it back down. She looked down, “oh...ok” she said quietly.
I got up and walked into the den and saw a man sitting on the couch I stopped and looked at him. He had short black hair and had stubble tracing his jaw line. He waved slightly at me, I waved back and walked back into the kitchen and sat back at the counter.
We sat there in the silence of the house until the limo came to pick us up to take us to the gravesite.
Once the limo arrived to pick us up we sat there in the care and it was dead silent everything had a gloomy lingering to it. We arrived at the gravesite and there were even more people I didn’t know there but some I did know. I followed behind Lenn as we approached the coffin and saw Aron…he looked so peaceful…he looked so normal…i...i followed behind Lenn to the front row and sat down.
I watched as the priest gave his sermon and as others went up and paid their respects some crying and some quiet. I looked to the side and saw Lenn looking down clinching his fists. I looked to the opposite side and saw Mrs. Syina and Helena crying. I looked down and stared at my lap as I listened to the sermon continue.
At the gravesite I watched them lower the coffin into the ground…that’s it… he’s...he’s gone…hes gone for good…and...And he’s not com-coming back…I sat there and stared at the grave stone. I felt someone’s hands on my shoulders. I looked up and saw Lenn looking down at me sadly, “come on…it’s time to go...” he said sadly as he walked me away. I glanced back time to time.
*****
Once we were at the house again it was dead silent. I looked around and saw everyone was in the kitchen sitting at the counter looking down. The house felt so gloomy and empty. I walked upstairs and went into the guest room and sat on the bed. I looked at how empty the room was …how alone I was now… I heard a knock at the door. I looked up at the door and Lenn walked in and closed the door quietly.
“You ok?” he asked softly as he sat down on the bed next to me.
I looked down and looked to the side, “he’s….gone” I muttered quietly looking up at him.
He looked down and sighed softly, “but you can always visit him…whenever you like...like I said...” he looked down, “he would love your company...” he said quietly looking at me.
I looked at him then looked down, “…im...sleepy...” I said quietly.
He looked at me and smiled sadly, “ok...” he said as he kissed my forehead and stood up and walked to the door. He stopped, “...you can call me…or text...whenever you want…ok?” he said scratching his head.
I looked down at the floor, “….ok...” I mumbled sadly as I looked up at him.
He smiled and looked down, “bye dude” he said softly before closing the door quietly.
I looked down at the bed and sighed softly. I laid there and forced sleep to come…im always going to be alone…always...
*****
Later that night I woke up. I looked over and the clock read 9:23pm. I sat up and looked at the room, it was dark and empty. I got up and walked out the room. In the hallway I heard people downstairs yelling i rubbed my temple my head was starting to hurt. I made my way to Aron’s room and saw Helena sitting on his bed. I walked in and closed the door quietly behind me.
She looked down at her lap, “you know…everything was easy...before he met you…” she said quietly. I looked down. She picked up one of his pillows and started to mess with it, “…Everything…aha...was so easy…everything was normal…” she said quietly she sucked her teeth, “if he didn’t meet you…” she looked down.., “if he didn’t meet you …maybe… he would still be alive…” she said bitterly. She bent down and cried softly. I closed my eyes tightly as I saw her get up and start walking towards me. She stopped beside me, “….i told my mom…about you and him…” she inhaled deeply, “..It’s your fault why he’s gone now…and he never coming back… don’t ever talk to me again…” she said angrily and slammed the door behind her. I opened my eyes and looked around me...i sat on his bed and looked at his room around me...i saw clothes scattered around the floor…I picked up the pillow and brought it to my face… my head began to hurt I stood up and stopped by the door and looked at the room..Before turning off the light..
In the hall I continued to hear people arguing downstairs. I walked downstairs and saw Mr. and Mrs. Syina talking in the kitchen. I leaned up against the wall.
“So you mean to tell me that...boy upstairs was my son’s boyfriend?!” Mr. Syina yelled.
“Inside voice Sylas…and yes..So says our daughter Helena” Mrs. Syina said
“So says!? That’s my fucking son Amber and now he’s fucking dead because of that boy!” he yelled. I looked down.
“Who are you to judge someone you don’t know, Sylas...” she said
“You know he’s the reason why my son is dead! You fucking know it! He’s gone and he’s not coming back because of that fucking prick upstairs who made my son gay?!” he yelled. I covered my mouth.
“OUR son! OUR FUCKING SON! I didn’t see you push 7lbs ‘8oz of him out your birth canal did I?! So don’t claim him as yours only!”She yelled back.
“I want that faggot out my house by fucking tomorrow no ifs ands or buts I want. His faggot fairy ass. Out of my fucking house. It’s all that boy’s fault why my son’s dead and I will not have it.” He said
I walked out into the kitchen and made my way to the door.
“I will n—”
I saw Mrs. Syina look at me, “Ren? Sweetie where are you goin—” I closed the door behind me only to be greeted by the cold winter air. I looked down and sighed, my head was killing me. They were right He’s all my fault for what happened to Aron…and now it’s in the dead…rotting in the ground… he’s all alone now…and so am i…
“You will always be able to visit him…” I heard Lenn say sadly.
I looked up at him and he was looking down…“…really?” I muttered quietly.
He smiled at me and rubbed my neck, “yeah…I bet he would love your company...” he said sadly
…Maybe he would…i...i can apologize...for what ive done…then I can leave... and everyone will be happy…
I walked all the way to the graveyard where Aron’s grave was at. I read the grave stones till I got to his. I looked over his gravestone and watch as the luminous glow of the streetlights would hit it I sat down next to the gravestone and just stared at it.
I looked at it .., “Hey Aron...” I said sadly. I didn’t expect a response.
I sniffed, “Aron… i-i…im sorry…im so…sorry...” I said sadly, “im so sorry for the things I’ve caused you…im sorry for causing you to lose your best friend…im sorry for causing you so much drama...im really..Really sorry Aron...” I said quietly.
I looked to the side, “Your father and Helena…were right...it’s all my fault…it’s all..,” I inhaled deeply, “...m-my...f-fault…im sorry I …i-i…got you killed….” I said sadly...
I sniffed, “Aron...i miss you so much…I don’t want you to be gone...i…I miss spending time with you…I loved every second…with you” I sniffed, “…Aron…i...i need you here…Aron…please…please...i want you back…im sorry…please come back…I need you..I...love you so much…so...much...i loved every second I spent with you...please…c-come back..” I said on the verge of tears...
I felt something behind me. I turned around I stopped breathing, “...A...A-aron?” I said quietly looking up at him. He smiled softly. I stood up and continued to stare at him… “…y-..Your b-back?” I mumbled quietly...i started walking towards him, “i...i missed you so much...please don’t leave me….” I cried as I reached out to hug him only for me to fall face forward into the ground… I lifted myself up a bit, “…i...i...” I whimpered as I started to cry…I sat there and cried so hard…I couldn’t..hear much of anything…only me crying…he’s...never coming back...i finally knew...that he’s gone for good…and he’s never…never coming back…

_{Wow…such an ending ~N3K0-Kun}
