Wilting Petals (Sunny x Basil)

Goodbye

《TW: Mentions of self h@rm, su!c!de》

Basil slowly walked inside...

And walked to his room...

He closed the door, locking it...

And sat on the floor, next to his bed...

He hugged his knees to his chest...

And covered his face with his arms...

And Basil just cried...

Cried for Mari...

Cried for Grandma...

Cried for all his pain and suffering...

All the bullying...

All the grief...

And regret...

And hopelessness...

And loss...

And tears...

Basil could hear Polly's faint voice...

"Basil... could you ope  the door?"

Basil didn't budge...

Minutes felt like hours...

Hours felt like forever...

Time melted and meshed together...

Basil suddenly heard Aubrey's voice...

Barely...

But it was still their...

"Basil... I-i wanted to say sorry... I'm so sorry... and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me..."

Basil still didn't budge...

He did forgive her...

He wanted to tell her that...

To say somthing...

But he couldn't...

He didn't want to...

He couldn't have any more emotional attachments...

Because he made up his mind...

He wasn't going to be their anymore...

He was going to be dead by daybreak...

Basil lifted up his sleeve. His arm was littered with cuts and scares...

From the pain...

And greif...

And trauma...

...trauma...

From his parents...

From Mari...

From somthing...

All the Sleepless nights...

And exhausted days...

And worry he caused Polly...

His love for Sunny...

Sunny...

What would Sunny do when he wasn't there?

Would Sunny move on?

Would Sunny cry?

Would Sunny even notice?

Basil looked at the time...

3:17am...

Basil slowly opened the door...

He walked out, looking into the livingroom... where his friends lay...

Basil walked over, sitting next to Sunny...

Basil grabbed Sunny's hand...

His voice was a whisper...

"...I love you Sunny... and I'm sorry I won't be here for you..."

Tears welled in Basil's eyes...

Basil sat for a few moments... before getting up...

And grabbing his shears...

And walking back in his room...

Basil looked at the shears...

Then at the night sky...

The moon shone brightly...

He hoped Sunny wouldn't have to see him...

After he was gone...

Tears overflowed...

Basil let out a small sob...

He held the shears tightly...

Plunging them into his stomach...

Basil heard a gasp behind him...

And turned to the door...

Sunny stood in the doorway, horrified...

Basil's view went black as he collapsed onto the ground...

As his life slowly ebbed away...
