Elias's life has never been perfect. His own parents abused him at the young age of 7 and never stopped. All the young male had going for him were his friends and brother. But what happens when even they begin to turn their...

Elias's pov
"Shouldn't you be asleep?" Joe said annoyed. "I never was asleep." "Exactly. You need rest so your body can heal properly." I wasn't surprised by his reaction to seeing me up. If one of us is killing someone, he reminds us to hide the body. If one of us gets hurt, mom mode activates. I tried my best to ignore him just wanting to be alone right now but he was persistent.
"Would you stop it already?" "I just want you to be okay. You really need to start taking care of yourself." "Yeah cause that's worked wonderfully for me in the past! The two times that I've defended myself, guess what happened! First time I get a bat to the face and lose Gavin and Joey and you saw what happened to me the second time!" "Why you gotta be so difficult, Elias. You know that's not what I meant." "I didn't mean for any of that either but it happened!"
He stood still for a bit unsure of what to say. I guess he finally realized this wasn't a battle he could win cause he quietly turned and left without another word. I felt kinda bad but that quickly faded. Matter a fact, any feelings I had were just gone. I felt nothing. I felt empty and lifeless and numb like I was just sort of there.
Void of any emotion, I grabbed a large kitchen knife and slid my fingers gently along the edge of the blade. It was almost mesmerizing. Then I took the blade and placed it on my wrist and began to press down until crimson blood oozed out. In that moment, I got an idea.
First, I had to do something. I walked upstairs and quietly entered mine and Dan's bedroom. I looked over to Daniel fast asleep in his bed. He was holding a pillow and he looked like he'd been crying. Normally, I would have at least pulled the blanket back over him but tonight I just walked right past him without a second thought. I knew I wasn't thinking right anymore but the thought had taken hold of me and I couldn't seem to break free from it.
I grabbed my own knife which was laying on the floor for some reason but I didn't question it and walked out. I knew that they'd see it if I put it on the front door. I removed my light blue hoodie with the black hem and pinned it to the door using my knife. Using the blood still pouring from my wrists, I wrote the words 'I'm sorry, Goodbye' above the hoodie. Finally, I went back to the kitchen and grabbed the kitchen knife.
The next morning
Joseph's pov
I woke up to the sun shining through the curtains. I leaned over to the dresser and put my glasses on. I tried to sit up but I felt something holding me. I looked over and noticed Jay had his arms wrapped around my waist. I reached over and pet his hair which caused a small smile to peek through. "I saw that!" I said and he laughed a bit knowing he'd been caught. "Good morning, Kitten" he said sweetly.
"Good morning. Can you let me go? I need my coffee." "Yeah, well you can wait! I'm cold!" he pouted pulling me towards him a bit more. "Grab a blanket then" I said trying to get up again but he refused to let me go. "Fine, we can cuddle for a few minutes but after that I'm getting my morning coffee." Jay's smile grew and he crawled infront of me and buried his face in my chest. I chuckled a bit and started petting him again like a cat.
He did kinda remind me of a cat in the sense that he can never decide whether he hates you or loves you. One moment, he might not want shit to do with you and the next, lots of cuddles. All the cuddles. He's tends to be more lovey dovey around the morning and evening. I think it's the cutest thing ever but it can get on my nerves sometimes, too.
We both jumped when we heard a scream coming from the kitchen. "Daniel!?" Jay shouted instantly running towards the scream. I ran after him worried. It didn't take long at all since our bedroom, originally Robert and Diana's bedroom before they got arrested, was right next to the kitchen. As soon as I reached the kitchen, all I saw was red.
There was blood everywhere and in the middle of a large puddle of blood lay Elias. His skin was pale and his body didn't move. There was a large gash across his left leg in the exact placement of where that guy cut him the night I found him. There was also a deep cut on his right cheek, likely similar to when he slashed Joey. There was a stab wound through his shoulder resembling where Jay stabbed him that day he snapped at us and three other stab wounds mirroring where he stabbed me during his outburst. Then I saw where he cut an x across his chest where his heart would be before finally piercing it with the knife.
Daniel and Jay were desperately trying everything they could to bring him back. I knew it was useless. 'I knew I never should have left him. Why did I leave him?' That thought played over and over in my head. I felt like it was my fault. I wanted to run. I don't know where, just somewhere far away from everyone.
I turned around when I heard the front door open where a very worried Ajay had just shown up. "Guys, what's with all the-" he said before I saw his face go from worried to horrified like he'd just seen a ghost. His wings which were wide open suddenly fell a bit but not quite going limp like his tail did. "Elias! W-what happened!?" he asked, tears rolling down his face. I looked to the ground ashamed of myself for not stopping this.
By this point, everyone acknowledged the fact that Elias wasn't waking up. Daniel threw himself on his now deceased brother clinging to his torn blood soaked shirt. He kept crying telling Elias how much he loved him and how sorry he was for not helping him sooner. Jay stormed outside with tears endlessly streaming down his face. I heard him scream out of anger and it sounded like he threw something at the house. A stick, a rock, I couldn't hardly tell. Ajay came over and pulled Daniel away from the body and into a comforting hug as the greenette kept crying and begging Elias to come back to him. I could tell Ajay was barely keeping it together himself. I looked back at the deceased male with tears forming in my eyes.
"I'm sorry"
Congratulations, you unlocked the "broken" ending!🧡💔
