Dark paradise -REWRITTEN-

Chapter 3

Sky stared at Ty. He wanted to scream and shout at him but he couldn't. Because he was right. Nothing could save Jason now. Sky heard sobbing behind him and recognized that it was Tyler's. It was quiet for a while. Each time Sky would look at Jason he would begin to cry again. He felt a hand on his shoulder. No,not a hand. More like a paw. 

"Adam..." Jerome said quietly.

"We can't bury him like this," Sky said, looking at Jason's body,covered with blood. Without anybody having to say anything,Sky picked up Jason's numb body and carried him inside.

Tyler was standing there,shaking,tears in his eyes. Mitch hugged him,sobbing quietly. Meanwhile Jerome looked at Ty and narrowed his eyes angrily. Ty rolled his eyes and looked away as if nothing had happened.

Carefully,Sky laid Jason down in the bathtub. He watched as the water around him turned red. He let out a shaky sigh and turned around,leaning backwards on the bath.

"It's funny." He started "how quickly things change..."

He looked at his hands. "I'm sorry I couldn't save you....." He said,like a kid apologizing to his schoolmate.

"It should've been me,lying here now,not you." His voice became shaky. He sobbed loudly and swallowed his tears back.

"You know what would be great?" He laid on the ground,staring at the plain celling. "If both of us could be dead. We'd still be together."

He faked a laugh and sobbed, feeling the tears coming back. He knew that these ones would be harder to fight off.

"I'll miss you so much,I already do." He whispered, his voice broken.

He sat up and looked at the water. It was much darker than before,but Jason's scars were cleaner. His hand reached towards Jason's hair,moving it from his eyes.

"You're just sleeping Jason,you'll be fine." Adam smiled as more tears slipped down his cheeks. Sky looked away. He knew that he was lying to himself,he knew that Jason couldn't hear him and that he was just a freak,talking to himself in the bathroom. He leaned his elbow on the bathtub edge and rested his head on it.

"It's so lovely here,isn't it? It's just me and you, locked away from the world." He said. It was quiet for a while. Sky sat down again,leaning against the bathtub. It was quiet for a while.

"Oh who am I kidding..." He whispered to himself "You can't hear me, you're dead." 

At the word dead he lost it and bursted into tears.

After a long time,Sky lifted his aching head. His vision was blurred by the tears and he had to blink quite a few times for his eyes to adjust. He turned around. The water was getting cold. Sky's shaky hands reached towards Jason, pulling him out carefully. His whole body and clothes were soaking wet.

"Well we can't bury you like that either." Sky mumbled.

He took a towel and started drying him with it. His body still wasn't completely cold. And even though his skin was pale,he still wore a small smile on his face. Soon,Sky realized that he was rubbing the towel against a dry body.

Time really flies by.....

Still holding Jason in his arms,Sky walked back as slowly as possible. He tried not to look at him, but knowing that he was carrying his dead body was enough to break him. He stopped in front of the others. He quickly glanced up at his friends. Ty was staring coldly at Jason while Tyler was staring at Jason with watery eyes. Jerome was looking away,Mitch stared at Sky. 

"Are you sure you're ready?" He asked,sorrow in his voice. Sky nodded.

While Sky was away, the others had already dug a grave. At last, Sky put Jason on a flowerbed. Then there was more silence as they stared at their dead friend.

"I guess that's it then?" Ty said and looked up as if he would be searching for somebody.

Sky took a long shaky breath and pick the shovel up. They had already put a thin layer of fabric on him,just so he wasn't directly showered with dirt.

"Adam?"

Sky looked up.

"We're leaving." Mitch said.

"I...errr...I'll stay here a bit longer." 

Alright,well you know where our house is."

Sky quickly nodded and looked at the grave again. For hours he sat by it, it was getting darker. It was a long day for Sky and his eyes slowly closed. He fell asleep next to his friend's final resting place.

He opened his eyes to a place he knew too well. A meadow, cliff leading to the sea next to it. But it was different. The colors were brighter and slightly more shiny. Sky walked to the cliff. There wasn't a sea. Only bright, dull purple clouds. Sky stared at the void, confused. When he turned around he gasped loudly. Only a few meters away stood a bright figure with angel wings. His right arm was glowing white,his eyes were completely blue. The moment he saw him,Sky recognized who it was. Jason.
