A man stood at the top of a tall building, looking over the city of L.A, he smiles as the sun is about to hit it's buildings. The sun shines, rays highlighting the fact that a new day is upon us. The wind blows, going through the man's hair, the breeze so fragile yet so strong it could know anyone off their feet. The man, unknown yet, why he's there, stills stands his grounds, waiting....waiting for a sign....He stays there for seconds which turns into minutes turning slowly into hours....The sky yet so beautiful, no clouds in the sky, the clearest it's been so far months.

"Anthony....Why?....Why?" the man's smile soons fades to nothing, blank expression, unable to tell what's he thinking.

"Anthony....Why did you leave me....? Please....Come back to me." he said, repeating what he said before, lust, pain and confusion can be seen buried deep within his eye as he walks closer to the ledge, not daring to fall off.

"IAN!" another man appears from behind, calling what seems to be the man before.

"Anthony...." Ian says, turning around to meet Anthony dead in the eyes. "Your here...."

"Ian, what are you doing?! Get down from there!" Anthony shouts at Ian.

"Did you come....Because of me?" He asks in surprise.

"Of course you idiot!" suddendly a call comes in, Anthony picks up his phone, he answers it.

"Hello?"

"Anthony! Where are you? Did you forget our date?"

"Dan....I can't talk right now! I need to go!" he ends the call, switching off his phone, blocking out incoming calls that might occur later on.

"Was that your boyfriend?" Ian asks.

"Yes...."

"I guess it's true....We're really over...."

"Ian....We can still be friends!"

"NO! I don't want to be friends! I want you....I need you....Why....Why....WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME!" Ian shouted at his ex-lover. Tears daring to come out, only forced back by Ian's strength, "We....We were perfect together....So why....Why did you leave me?" his voice getting quieter by each word.

"Ian...." Anthony's voice getting softer, "What....What we had wasn't love, I'm sorry."

"No....No....NO!" he shouted then knelt down, holding his head, covering his ears. "NO! NO! NO! NO! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT! IT WAS LOVE! WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS ALL A LIE! NO! NO! NO! NO! AHHHH." Ian screamed his heart out, a few tears managed to escape his body. He stood up, looking at his ex-lover, giving his best smile. Anthony, not knowing what the man in front of him was going to do, stood still.

"Ian....Get down from there please." he begged.

"Anthony....I love you so much."

"Ian? What are you doing?" Anthony began to panic.

"....But if your not with me....I don't want to be here anymore." Ian turned around, looking once more at the city, the world he grew up in, once more at the shining sun, once more at his ex-lover. He lifted his arms up, feeling the wind blow onto his body once before he leaned in, falling into the air.

"NO, IAN!" Anthony ran to Ian, just about managing to catch his ex-lover's hand. "NO, IAN, PLEASE HOLD ON....I'LL GET YOU UP HERE....PLEASE DON'T." He shouted as he felt Ian's grip on his hand loosen, surprised at his ex-lovers action, all Ian could do was smile.

"Anthony....It's to late....I can't do it anymore....A world without you, my angel, is a world I don't want to be in...." Anthony's eyes widened as he could feel how Ian truly loved him.

"We....We can start again! PLEASE....DON'T LET GO!" Anthony cried out, tears escaping the older one's eyes, falling onto Ian's face.

"It's to late....Everything....Is to late...."

The cloudless sky started to change, as the clouds crowded inwards, it turned grey, letting out a loud rumble, soon the sky's tears soon fell upon the young ones on earth. The rain made it even harder for Anthony to grip onto Ian's hands, even with both, it was hard to support him and his ex-lover, even heaven was crying at the impossible love between these two.

"Don't cry my angel....Nothing good comes from crying." Ian said and he looked into Ian's eyesonce more, smiling he mouthed the last words he'll ever say....the last words Anthony would ever hear him say...."I love you." Letting go of Anthony's grip, his hand slipped out of Anthony's however hard  the other was holding on, it was no use. Fate has already decided for them. Anthony watched as Ian fell down the big building, their eyes locked on the whole time.

"NOOOO!!!! IAN!!!! NOOO!!!!" Anthony screamed, he turned as he slipped off the small building wall, hand hands tugging at his hair as he cried for his ex-lover. "No....Ian....Noooo" his voice now fallen into a whisper, the sky cried harder and the rain poured heavier onto the land.

That was when he realised....

He still loved Ian....

What they had....

was love.
