*knock knock

Two loud bangs sounded on the door to the bathroom. Even though NuNew were bend over the toilet, he visible straighten his back at the sound. Nat had locked the door and when neither of them imidately opened the door, a voice could be heard from the other side.

"Nat? Everything okay?" Max's voice sounded concerned and not a second later Zee's voice could be heard. "Nuu, teerak what's wrong? Are you okay?"

Zee's voice sounded both concerned and frustrated. Nat hoped it was not frustration directed at NuNew. As another cough-fit overwhelmed NuNew, Nat answered them.

"Nothing to worry about... just..." Nat didn't get to finish as a strangled sound came from NuNew. It was the last stage and Nuu knew that he didn't have much time left. He regerettet not telling Zee about his feelings, but at the same time, he didn't want to ruin his friendship with his Hia.

"Nat..." Nunew whispered as the coughing stopped. Nat came closer, while Zee and Max stood worried on the other side of the closed door. "Ineed to..." more coughing started as Nunew was about to ask Nat. "Get..." cough, cough, "... me out." Nunew whispered. Nat looked around, the bathroom only had one door, ofcourse. How was he surpose to get his friend out without the others noticing him. Then an idea popped up in his head. He walked to the door and said. "P'Max.." no one said anything for awhile and Nunew had finally stopped coughing and started to clean the blood of the toilet. "Nat?..." Max answered, and he started to get why they didn't came out of the bathroom. "Whole Gardanie's!" Nat shouted as soon as Max answered him and Max paled.

He knew about Nunew condition, but hadn't told Zee and it looked like Nunew didn't want Zee to know. Nat had told Max about the disease and when Max didn't understand, Nat had showed him his research. It was the worst possible way to leave and it was sad an lonely. After their conversation, Max and Nat had a serious talk themselves.

Max layed his hand on Zee's shoulder, "Come on man... They will get out in a moment..." Max almost whisperes, afraid that Zee would react strongely to Nat's shouting. Zee looked back at Max, something told him that Max knew what was going on and Zee desperately wanted to know but apparently Nunew wouldn't tell him. Zee took one look at the closed door and then he followed Max away from the door. As they walked away, Max shouted to Nat: "Be right back..." Although Max knew they wouldn't see them more this evening.

When Nat was sure that they had walked away, he tapped Nunew on his shoulder and helped him up. "Time to go.." Nat said. Nunew looked up at Nat from where he was on the floor and sighed. Just a little more... he thought to himself. As Nat looked out the door to make sure no one saw them, Nunew kept his head down. They called a car and silently drove back to his condo. Nunew had finally decided to live by himself although his parents weren't much of a fan of it, but they had eventually agreed and besides, the condo was close to the DomundiTv base so it was closer to work for Nunew.

Nat had been there once, but it was a long time ago so when they arrived, and Nunew opened the front door. Nat was surprised to see what had changed. Nat knew that Zee was a tidy person, he alwasy kept his place clean and organized. Nunew had taken some of Zee's habits and his condo was motsely clean and organized. That's what Nat remembered, but now the condo was full of creative things. It actually scared Nat a bit, as the painting and flowers stared back at him. Nunew walked in like nothing was wrong, but when Nat went closer to one of the paintings, he could tell what they exactually was made of.

Bloody red flowers were all over the whole condo. The paintings were not paintet with paint and it was the same flower over and over again in many different ways. It was pretty, it was scary and when you knew what it was, it kinda looked like a crazy persons home. All Nunew's fan gift were stored in a corner of his living room and all the things Zee had bought through their time together were neatly folded and carefully taken care of in his bedroom. However, the bedroom was something else. It was mostly black, black curtains, black bed linnen and a black writing desk. But what wasn't black, was the red flowers that were all over the room. It looked like a flowershop had thrown up and they only had one flower left. Nunew walked like a zombie into the bedroom and fell exhausted on the bed. He soon fell asleep, leaving Nat to make himself home. As Nunew layed on the bed, surrounded by the bloody flowers, he looked like he was in a scene from a photoshot.

"Death has always been so ironically pretty." Nat thought as his best friend struggled to breath even in his sleep.
