The Red Flower

~~~~
It's too quite...
The silence is way too painfull to bear...

Josh slowly opened his eyes.
And then he saw...
~~~~
He peeked through his left eye,slowly and curiously.He saw blood flowing on the floor,Josh felt sick just by looking at the crimson water.
Josh saw Clarista fainted infront of him,but the scene was blocked by someone's leg.

"W-what?" Josh mumbled slowly as a look of confuse and releif drawn on his face.
"I am glad Clarista's okay" I thought to myself.

"Cough!!" Blood starts dripping again.
Josh tilted his head up and there,above him he discovered a person covered with blood.

"MIKE!!" Josh returned to his senses and quickly stood up,a stinging pain from his leg paused him.Seems like he sprained his ankle.Leaving him half standing.
"MIKE!! You okay?!!" But Mike didn't turned his head to Josh or even gave him a respond.

"Josh..." Mike responded to Josh's voice,he turned his head slowly to meet Josh's sad eyes.

Surprised,Josh quickly forced himself to stand,ignoring the pain.
As Josh was standing on his limp feet,Mike suddenly collapsed and fell right into Josh's arms.

"Mike Mike you okay? Can you hear me?" Josh scanned his blood-covered body and finds out that Mike stabbed himself right at his chest,seems like it pierced right through his heart.

"It's okay buddy,you're going to be fine" Josh puls the knife off Mike and throw it aside.
"We got to treat this,wait here I'll go and find something to stop the blee-"
Josh was stopled by Mike's hand grabbing his navy blue T-shirt.

"It's okay,I can feel my life being drained away.....I won't make it..."  Mike's face was pale and slowly turning cold.

Josh laid Mike's head on his lap as he sat down on the cold ground.Tears started growing on Josh black eyes as he looked at Mike's dying eyes.

"I'm sorry,will you and Clarista forgive...me?"
Josh gritted his teeth trying to hold back the tears.
"Of course!" I replied as cold tears started flowing down my dry cheek.

"I am glad,that...you two'll *cough cough* forgive me..." a small smile drawn on Mike's face,looking one last time at his best friend's teary eyes.

"Stop crying,or you won't be popular with the girls"  I really wanted to tell him that but my voice isn't coming out ans my vision is getting very blurry to the point I can't see things clearly anymore.

"Dying sure is lonely..."
