POV Error
Geno collapsed earlier in the week and mom had rushed him to the hospital. Aunt Com was here to watch me and Fresh. She had also brought Ink. We were supposed to play together, but I couldn't stop worrying about Geno. I decided to ask Aunt Com how Geno was doing. As I crept down the stairs, toward the room where Aunt Com was, I froze and listened. "He's getting worse, the doctors don't expect him to survive the night." I heard my mother's voice over the phone and froze. "No, no, no, no. This can't be happening." I thought desperately. I can't stay here. I ran to my room, avoiding Ink and Fresh. I scrambled, thinking, "I can't stay here, I can't here them say..." no, don't think that way, Error. I tossed some change of clothes, a picture of my family, some knitting supplies, some money, and some other stuff in my bag. I got some food from the kitchen. I waited and soon enough, everyone was asleep. Taking the opportunity, early in the morning, I climbed out back and ran. I had no direction, my only goal to get away, to run as far as I could from my problems. Maybe, if I got far enough, they would Never find me.
POV 3rd person, in the morning, at the house
Geno had recovered fully and was returning home. When they entered, Fresh, Ink, and Aunt Com greeted them. "Hey, where's Error?" Asked Geno, "I want to tell him the good news, that I'm no longer sick. "He's still asleep, I think. Hey, why don't you boys go wake him up?" Said Aunt Com. Geno, along with Ink and followed by Fresh rushes to their room. They ran to Error's bed, but it was empty and cold. Digging around, Fresh found a note. He froze seeing what it said. He was flooded with shock, it filled him with emotions, but not good ones. Ink and Geno had already headed back to their mothers. "We didn't find him." Said Ink. This confused them, as no one had seen Error. Fresh weakly walked in and handed his mother the note before sitting against a wall, his head in his knees. "Read it out loud." Said Fresh numbly. So CQ (Fresh, Geno, and Error's mother) read it out loud. This is what it said:
Dear whoever finds this,
I heard what mom said. I heard that Geno will probably be... by the time you find this.
I can't face that, feeling like it's my fault. I'm sorry, I should have been better. A better son,
A better brother, a better friend. You will be better off with me gone so I left.
I love you, Don't look for me,
Error
They were all in shock. Then the words sunk in. They began to freak out, they began to look for Error, hoping they would find him, but it was 12 o' clock now, and, unknown to them, Error had left at 2 in the morning, 10 hours ago
