Not All Heroes Sing (Tony Perry Love Story)

*Chapter 24*

[Avie's POV]

*flashback dream *

Blake and I exit the movie theater laughing.

"That movie was hilarious!" he said. Blake was 17. I was 13.

"But I am funnier," I said, hugging his waist.

"That's true," he said as we started to walk home.

It was then we noticed something at the corner of our eye and Blake wrapped his arm around me, pulling me close to him.

"Avie, come on," he whispered.

"What's wrong??" I asked.

"Just come on. And don't look back," he whispered.

I did as told and laid my hand against his side as we walked.

I could feel someone was following us.

"Blake, I'm scared," I whispered.

"Its gonna be okay. We're almost to my car," he whispered.

We walked the block to where we parked when all of a sudden Blake was snatched away from me and next thing i know a man had a gun pointed to us.

"Blake!!" I cried as i clung to him.

"Give me your money now!" the man shouted.

"Easy, easy!" Blake said as he tried to pull me behind him.

"Blake, just give him the money," i begged, feeling tears in my eyes.

I knew my brother, though. He wouldn't just back down just like that.

Next thing i know fists are flying and Blake and the robber are fighting.

"Blake, stop!!!" i cried.

I tried and pulled him away, but ended up getting punched in the cheek

Next thing i know, a gun is fired and I'm forced to look away as i feel someone push me to the ground and run away.

I was tehre for a few seconds before i turned and saw Blake lying in the ground, blood all over his chest.

I screamed and rushed to his side, holding him close to me.

"Blake!! Oh god, Blake!!!' I cried, pulling his hair out of his eyes.

"A-Avie..." he stuttered, blood dripping from his mouth.

"I looked up to see if there was anyone around.

"HELP!!!! SOMEBODY HELP, PLEASE!!!!!! PLEASE, SOMEBODY, HELP!!!!!" I cried.

"P-Please be strong, Avery. Don't give up," he said.

"Don't die, Blake, please. Don't leave me, please," i sobbed, kissing his head and holding him.

"I'll always love you, Avie," he said, then was still, his blue eyes staring at nothing.

"Blake??" i asked, shaking him a bit. "BLAKE, NO!!!! Please, don't leave me!!!! BLAKE!!!! BLAKE, PLEASE WAKE UP!!!!!" I screamed as i cried hard into his chest.

I then start hearing voices coming towards me and sirens in the distance as i choked on my tears.

-3 months later-

I've had a hard time with depression. I tried and smiled in front of Mom and Dad, but they couldn't even look happy as they used to.

Its as if everything inside of them just shaterd, just like me.

I came home from a hard day at school and walked into an empty kitchen.

"Mom?" i called out. It was Wednesday, so I'm basically with my mom. Dad usually working before he comes to dinner.

I walk into the living room, seeing if she was there but my eyes widen in horror as i see two stools knocked over and just afew feet above hung my parents hanging from a noose.
