Warning: Blood, Language, Death

Silence. It really is peaceful. Well, not in the setting I'm in right now.

it's been three long silent minutes. No one has said a word. Were just looking at each other. Trying to find any sort of confidence or courage to speak.

I don't blame them. If I found a body like that, I wouldn't know what the fuck to do.

But finally, Ava starts to speak,

"Anthony and I were on a date. We had just come from dinner at this small, local restaurant. He thought that taking me to a clearing to see the stars would be a cute idea. . ."

A pause of silence.

"When we got there, it was beautiful. Of course, we didn't see anyone at first. It's when we got to the middle of the clearing were we saw a person. He was laying on the ground, looking up at the stars. Anthony, the kind gentlemen he is, told me to wait there well he want to go talk to him."

I turn my head to Anthony, only to find that he was already looking at me.

"When I walked up to him, I saw blood on his hands. When I got a little closer, it was on his faces, his shirt. Right away, I took my phone out to call 911 but. . . but then he opened his eyes. When I tell you his eye's were lifeless, they really were."

I sobbed. Letting it all out.

"I-I tried to help him but all he did was shake his head. He graded my arm down. Like he wanted to tell me something."

"And did he?" Sam had asked.

Anthony nodded.

"W-what did he say?" I ask.

"He said um. . . he said a lot actually. But before he could tell me, I though it would be a better idea if I recorded it."

I nodded my head, waiting for him to pull up the recording.

"I think maybe you should hear this alone. we'll be in the other room when your done." Ava had said and left with Anthony to other room well it was just me and Sam.

I looked at Sam, and he knew I needed to do this alone.

He got up, and left the room.

Now it was just me, and what I have left of my brother.

I grab the phone and press play.

"um, here. it's recording so. . . say what you have to say." I heard Anthonys voice say on the line.

After that, all there was-was a grunt.

"I hope this finds the person i'm looking for. . . or-or speaking to." coughing.

And more coughing. 

"Do you remember the day I took you o-out here? Because. . . Bec-ause I do. You told me that you wished for us to live a h-happy life. Fi-find lo-ove? Well, it feels like I-t was just yesterday whe-n that hap-happened."

God, I missed his voices more then anything.  

"Alex, I mi-miss you so, s-so much. there's a reaso-on way I left that night. I ha-ad to. I was never ma-mad at you. don't blame you-yourself for m-me going missing. i-it's not!"

Then there was more coughing and groans of pain.

"I just want you to know, I love you. I-I love y-you so much. I coul-ld have n-never asked fo-or a b-better sister. Even when-n I'm not g-going to be here, I-I will always l-look over you. I-I pro-promise."

"I d-don't have much time left. And I know ho-how much pai-pain I put you thought al-already. But. . . can you pl-please go thought I-it one mo-more time for me? Just. . . d-do it fo-for me."

"There's a note i-in my pocket. I wan-want you to r-read it. But, only. . . only when y-you know it's r-right."

"Alex. . . Alex White. My little s-sister. Remember, keep-p on fightin-g and do-don't let o-other people know w-what's good for you. You're the artist o-of your story. Now. . . go-o and play it."

And then, the line want dead.
