"Legend of the afterlife."

Sorrow

ASTRO'S POV

I was colouring mylo. I hummed a song that i heard a few days ago, Lydia was reading a book on the couch. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. I had my hopes up that the person knocking would be mylo. Lydia putted the book on the coffee desk infront of her and got up to answer the door. I putted down my crayon and turned around to the door. Lydia opened the door to see blade. I was kinda disappointed.

"Blade?"

"Hi." Blade came in, and lydia closed the door.

"What's wrong?"

"It's mylo."

"What happened?"

"Not infront of astro. Come with me."

I was worried and confused.

"Sweetie, Stay here okay?"

"Okay." Blade walked into the bedroom and lydia did aswell. Blade closed the door and turned to lydia.

"I dunno how to say this but.." Blade's voice trailed off.

"But what? Blade..?"

"Mylo's dying."

Lydia's eyes widened with sorrow and shock.

"What?.. Your joking.. Right?" 

"I wish i was."

Lydia's heart broke, She sitted down on the bed, Starting to cry.

"No.. No.."

Blade sitted down alongside lydia, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"W-When did you find out?"

"This morning. Mylo told me."

"God.. This isn't fair.. On astro.. On him.. On me.."

"I know.. But you have to be strong. For astro."

I walked towards the bedroom, hearing sobs. I knew it was lydia's and started to open the door. I saw blade looking at me. I saw lydia.

"Mama? What's wrong?"

Lydia looked over at blade and nodded at him. Blade got up and sighed, looking down at me.

"Hey kiddo. We have something that.. Will be hard to hear."

"Huh? What.. What happened?"

"It's mylo.. Hes sick and i'm afraid.. His not gonna get better."

My eyes widened with sorrow. My eyes started to well up with tears, I started to sob uncontrollably, Lydia got up from the bed and walked towards me.

"Sweetie-" She putted a hand to comfort me but i walked back.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" I felt a surge of anger. Lydia looked taken back.

"Astro, do not talk to her like that!" Blade shouted.

"I don't care!" I gritted my teeth, clenching my fist. I ran out of the room, and ran into my room. I ran over to my bed and screamed in the pillow, Breaking down into tears. How could this be happening? Mylo was always there for me. He made me laugh, and when i was sad, he'd always try to cheer me up.

I cried for what seemed like hours. I couldn't control my emotions, But i heard a soft knock, The door opened.

"Hey honey." Lydia walked in, closing the door behind her.

I sitted up on my bed, my eyes red from crying. Lydia walked over to my bed, sitting down next to me. She putted both of her arms around me. I buried my face in her shoulder, continuing to cry.
