Desolation Row

Prologue - Touch Me With Words

I held his head on my lap my head on his chest as tears ran down my face witch was wetting his shirt. I cried harder than i'd ever thought i could.

This isn't how it was supposed to end for him not for him. I clutched onto his shirt i'd found him laying here cold and lifeless 20 minutes ago yet here i still was crying on the floor holding his body. His lifeless body.

My fingers were interlocked with his and my other hand was stroking his orange dyed hair. I sniffed

"Action Cat why?" my voice broke as i whispered into his ear trying to reach him where ever the hell the dead go......or more like where ever the suicides go.

How didn't i see this coming? He seemed so happy? No!!! He didn't. I could see his faded smile yet i did nothing. I could tell he was faking those laughs what kind of friend am i?

"Adam i-I'm sorry th-this is my fault" i got out through grinding teeth. He didn't deserve this. It should be me dead. He died alone. This didn't make sense not at all. There's more to this.

Why did life have to be so hard? I looked up at the roof wishing i could see the stars then maybe I'd feel ok. Than maybe I'd feel a sense of peace or tranquility. 

I looked back at the pool of blood just a foot away. I looked at the way the blood was smeared because I'd draggered him out of it the way it faded as it got closer to us but how it was still so thick. I looked down at him there was dry blood on his lips and running down his chin. His chest was covered in blood that had oozed out of the gash in his throat.

I wasn't crying anymore i wanted to i just couldn't. If i cried anymore my body would probably run out of water.

"Party?" i snapped my head to the sound of the voice. I could barely make out the figure but i knew the voice all to well.

I started to cry again this is how i die i thought dehydrated. I almost wanted to laugh because i knew this was impossible but how i wished it wasn't.

"What happened Party" Shotgun Stories asked his voice quivered as he stood looking strong and not as if he was about to cry next to me looking down at Adams's body. Adams's lifeless body.

"He was so young" i said more like cried out. I started to stroke his hair again. I didn't know what to do anymore. I just wanted to sleep an wake up and maybe tomorrow will hold a better day maybe tomorrow would actually be today and Adam won't be dead then.

I felt hands on my shoulder i looked up to be met with the eyes of leader  of our zone. My eyes were too watery to see him right. I looked around for Shotgun he was nowhere in sight when had he gone?

"Party Poison..... come on" Dr. Death said in a deep voice and tried pulling me up. I shrugged away from him. I can't just leave him. I won't

"No" i sniffed. I can't, can't they see this was my fault? I let this happen. He's dead because i was a bad friend.

I hear a shift of feet and then arms wrap around me and I'm being pulled away.

"NO!!!!" i shrieked. They can't do this "LET ME GO!!!" i started to kick and jerk violently anything to be let back with Action Cat. I'm dropped into a room where i could still see outside and i watch from behind a door as they pick up Adam's body. Adam's lifeless body and took him away.
