Till Death Do Us Part. (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 17.

Warning to sensitive readers, this chapter is sad and quite depressing.
•°•°•°•°
Two days after Christmas.
Axel and Riley adopted a seventeen year old boy named Avier Daniel Wilson now Avier Nathaniel Marten (av-ear)
•°•°•°•°
January 1st 2019 a body was found on shore by a group of teenagers along Cradel-Dorm Crescent. The body was later discovered to be Riley Marten. No one knows how he got into the freezing river that's famous for freezing over at night and giving us an ice-skating rink.

The only person who was with him was Axel Marten who claims and has indeed proven Riley insisted he wait on a bench nearby so he could get him something. After a few minutes of him being gone Axel began to worry and went off in the direction his husband did only to find that he was gone.

Passers by said they didn't here anything, not a splash of water or a scream of fear, dead silence. Riley unfortunately lost his life to the extremely cold Winters Night river and to the person who is to blame for this.

Axel's P.O.V
"Avier I'm going to see Riley go to my parents house and take care of Nori...I need some time alone here." I said to Avier. He nodded before hugging me tightly. "I'm sorry dad." He whispered and grabbed Nori before lifting her to my ear. "I love you dad." She whispered before kissing my cheek.

I waved as they left, sighing in despair. I should've gone with him. Now he's gone and today is my last day to feel his beautiful skin and to kiss his soft lips. Riley would've loved to hear Avier call him dad for the first time since we adopted him.

But no, some asshole pushed him in the fucking river...and now he's gone. I'd lost him because I let him wonder off. Just like in my nightmares he died because of me.

I ran a shaky hand through my uncombed hair. I looked in the mirror, dark circles under my eyes, my skin pale, my eyes dark and dull...my heart shattered. I was slipping off the cliff my nightmares put me on, my sanity was going very slowly.

I could feel it.

And this had been what Riley was trying to avoid, me losing my shit and becoming crazy, but look. I look and feel like absolute crap, I should've gone with him...now he's dead.
•°•°•°•°
I stroked his cheek as tears leaked from my eyes. He was really gone, the only man that I loved like this...gone. And all because of some sick monstrosity of a human being.

His skin was pale and almost blue. His lips purple but soft. His veins were clearly visible throughout his body. His chest still, dead still. His hair messy and rough.

They found Riley and he's still alive...
I ran to him and he looked at me with a painful look in his eyes...
"I'm sorry..." He whispered...
He kissed me and I kissed back...
Tears leaking from both our eyes...
His heart monitor began to beep slowly...
"Riley please don't leave, k-keep breathing...Riley p-please..."
I begged and begged...but he let go...
He pulled me close and kissed me for the last time...
"I love you, Axel. Caleb. Marten..." He whispered...
His heart monitor stopped...
My mind raced...
This couldn't be happening...
My hands trembled violently and my breathing slowed...
I gasped for air but couldn't get any...
I was having a panic attack...
This is real, this is not another nightmare...

Memories of that dreadful day flashed through my mind. I started to cry harder and squeezed his hand tightly. "I'm sorry I let you go alone...I should've stayed with you...a-and now y-you're g-g-gone...I shouldn't have let you go a-lone...I'm sorry Riley." I whispered as I squeezed his hand tighter.

"Why did you let go...why didn't you keep breathing?" I asked hysterically. I laid my head on his naked chest and kissed over his heart. "Please come back..." I whispered. I kissed him and he didn't respond.

I had to accept it now, that he was gone...but I didn't want to...

Come back Riley.
