Last One Bites the Dust.

Chapter Thirteen

The group of friends walked to the Cthulhu Cavern, I wish I could tell you that they were joking and having the time of their lives. Unfortunately for them, they were all stoic in their walk.

Trevor led the group of friends toward the funeral home where the morticians office was. Lily walking behind him, wanting to reach out and help him, talk to him. Try to cheer him up, she didn't know what to say exactly though and it crushed her.  She looked over to her boyfriend and he tried to reassure her, however after seeing that it wasn't going to work he grabbed her hand and squeezed it reassuringly. They both might have not known Trevor, or Alex, that long but they could both see the two boys being best friends with the couple in the future.

"Come on you guys, Cthulhu Caverns is right up here around the corner," Trevor turned around to look at them so they could hear him better. However he wished he hadn't, they could see the bags forming under his eyes, the redness in them too from him trying not to cry. They could hear the snivels he made every couple seconds and all of their hearts broke. He was trying so hard to be strong in front of them. 

He didn't see the compassion they held for him, no all he could see was what he thought was pity. This made him grow angry. 

"STOP IT!" He yelled and all of their jaws dropped. 

"Stop what?" Lily asked.

"THE LOOKS YOU'RE ALL GIVING ME! I DON'T NEED YOU PITY!" 

"Wha?- Trevor none of us are giving you the pity look. We can all see you fighting your feelings man. It's okay to cry, none of us are gonna judge you for it. We are all just shocked at how strong you are being right now." Jacob told him stepping towards him, trying to put his hand on Trevor's shoulder. Trevor saw it though and slapped his hand.

'Smack!' It echoed along the streets and Jacob immediately withdrew his hand.

"OWW MAN! WHAT THE HELL!" He yelled and Trevor regretted what he did. 

He slowly backed away from the group for a feet before booking it into a run. Lily ran after him Kyle not too far behind her. 

It took them a while but they eventually caught up to Trevor who stood in an alley way, sitting with his back against the wall, his knees up to his chest with his arms around them to pull them closer. His head was bowed behind the knees and you could hear his sobbing. Lily approached him softly.

"Trevor?" She said and he visibly flinched before looking up at her. She saw the pain in his eyes, the terror of what he had just done. She stood above him and he was shaking, violently too. It made her so sad for him, 'Is this what he's been going through all his life? Fear of losing people over the smallest mistakes?' He looked away and at the wall in front of him. 

"You all hate me now, don't you? It's okay if you do, I'm used to it." Her heart broke, he looked broken now, almost lifeless. He was ready for her to hit him.

He saw her move and couldn't help the flinch, it came without warning. He closed his eyes waiting for the painful impact,but like with Alex, it never came, and again like Alex he felt arms around him. Lily was hugging him and he sat there speechless, not knowing what to do. it wasn't until he heard her sobs that he wrapped his arms around her. 

"You big dummy," she told him. "We aren't going to hurt you over that. We your friends, and whether you like or not, you're going to be stuck with us for awhile. It's okay if you need to cry every once in a while. Especially right now, you don't have to pretend that your stronger then you are, you are one of the strongest people I know, but even strong people cry every once in a while." 

He started to cry again and they sat there for five minutes just holding each other. Kyle stood at the entrance of the alley way staring at the two of them smiling. 

"You two are nothing but a couple of goofballs, aren't you?" He said chuckling a little bit and the three of them laughed.  

They all got up again and walked back to the rest of the group smiling, laughing and joking with each other. Lily and Trevor holding hands with Kyle behind them, his arms behind his shoulders smiling at the two clowns in front of him.

"I'm sorry Jacob," Trevor told him and Jacob smiled at him. 

"Don't even worry about it dude, I'm just glad you're feeling better." They smiled at each other and gave each a high-five. They laughed and all continued their walk towards the Cthulhu Cavern. 

It took five minutes to get there and they walked in, surprised it was unlocked.  

"Okay Trevor, what did the clue say again?" Maria asked.

"I wish to dance amongst the Angels and they allow me to because here is my last stop before I dance with the Devil.'

Once you have arrived to my destination, look for a special date and you will find your next clue, " He told them.  

"Okay then we all need to split up, we can cover more ground that way," Maria said and they all nodded, the couples sticking with each while Maria and Trevor went with each other.

It took them four hours to look everywhere, they didn't have any luck however and it crushed Trevor when all of them grouped back up and he saw none of them had any luck. 

"Okay that means it has to Beelzebub's Castle," Kyle said and they all nodded once more. 

Trevor walked out the front door and down the street towards their second destination. The whole group behind him, all wishing the same thing, 'I hope he's okay.'
