chapter Two:

I Now Pronounce You Dead

_________________

Aleks sat in the truck. It became a routine again. Wake up, go to the truck, go home, sleep. Then repeat. He hardly ate anymore. Which was bad, wasn't it? He couldn't though. Always ate with Eddie. Didn't feel right. Eddie... Eddie wasn't here anymore.

He's not here, but... He's not dead. No, no, he's still alive. Somewhere, probably lost. He gets lost easily. That's what it is. Just lost, he's not dead, Eddie's strong.

So, Aleks has to be strong too, right? Because he'd just let Eddie down if he wasn't. How long has it been so far? Since he ate? A day or two? Can't remember. Since he lost Eddie? Two weeks.

It's just two weeks. Doesn't mean anything. Again, he's just lost.

Aleks repeated that over in his head. That his lover was just lost. He'd be found someday. It was ebbed into his mind. That's all he thought about now.

He hadn't gotten any news from the guys, yet. Two weeks. Two weeks he's just been sitting here in this truck. Thinking life over, thinking about what he'd do if Eddie was never found.

What he'd do if Eddie really was dead.

Eddie isn't dead though, he's just wondering. Because Eddie can't die. Shit, he was already going insane. Thinking someone could just become immortal. Hah, immortal. That's him.

Fuck, stop. Get on track, stop thinking about such stupid things. Aleks huffed in frustration, and mentally punched himself. He pulled a leg up to his chest, and leaned his head back against the car seat.

"I don't understand anything anymore, dude. Eddie, where are you?"

His phone rang. Vibrated in his pocket. He fumbled around, before successfully pulling the device out. He accepted the call. "Hello?"

"Aleks?"

"... Seamus? Yeah dude, it's me."

"Aleks, I'm sorry..."

"What?"

"I'm sorry."

Aleks clenched his fist. Sorry? Sorry for what? Probably something stupid. Unimportant.

"For what?"

"Eddie. Aleks, he hasn't been found in two weeks."

Two weeks. Least it hasn't been two months! Weeks are short, can't they keep looking?! Eddie's there. Eddie's still alive. He has to be.

"And...?"

"They pronounced him as dead."

Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Doesn't even sound like a word anymore. Is it? He's not sure anymore. All he knows, is that Eddie isn't that.

"No, no, he's not dead though."

"Of course, but he's pronounced as dead for now."

"For now?! What the fuck does for now mean?! When you guys find him, he'll suddenly be labeled as alive again?! Like a god damn zombie?!" Aleks yelled into the phone, tears pricking at his eyes. This wasn't fair. Not at all.

"Dude, calm down. He's not dead. Or officially dead. They just need to give him a 'label'. They don't know if he is alive, so they pronounced him as dead."

"That's biggest bullshit I've ever heard in my life."

"I know it is, Aleks. They're going to keep looking-"

Aleks sighed in relief, a small smile danced onto his face.

"-so just stay calm, and think positive. Bye, Aleks. I'll keep you updated."

The Russian nodded to himself. He whispered a quiet goodbye and ended the call.

Eddie's pronounced as dead. Of course- he wasn't. Oh no, it's just a label. Eddie's being stupid again.

Lost. He's lost.

Just lost.
