The Masquerade of Life

            He looked at the other in disappointment and anger. Fear was in the mix of feelings that were falling to the floor in the form of tears.  He had seen this coming and didn't even try to stop it.  The reflection he once loved to see now was starting to kill him every second of the day along with the memories. Every fiber of his being gave him unwanted memories that he longed for someone to take back. He finally gave up. The one thing he never saw himself doing was this. He looked down at the bottle of pills on the ground waiting for them to take affect. His vision blurred as he slammed to the ground. But oddly the ground was softer than expected. He lifted his eyes up to say goodbye to the stars and the sun but was, instead, greeted with another pair of eyes that weren't happy but full of fears and worry. Everything was fading. He couldn't bare to look at those eyes that once held joy and happiness. They once had been filled with love for the eyes that were now fading. He turned his weary head away to face the mirror that forced him to see what was happening. The man that was on his knees was once a lover who had troubles but hid them well. While the one laying in his lap was happy and had everything but had troubles with everything he would come into contact with. Eliot, the one who took the pills, laid there hoping this was a delusion a side effect from the pills. His once bright green eyes turned dull with every second nearing. The tears he had now redirected themselves to his black shaggy hair. They passed his once pail cheeks but now turned red. He felt his heart slowing down as his head became lighter and his feet began becoming cold. He slowly lifted his weak arm and placed it onto the back of his lover's neck. He lifted his head and placed his cold cracked lips against Julian's lips. Julian wouldn't have it. He grabbed Eliot by the waist and forced all his power on to Eliot's stomach. It caused Eliot to gag. He continued to give all his force to make Eliot throw up the pills. Nothing came out. He kissed Eliot back and pulled out his cell a dialed 911. The time seemed to have stopped after Julian ended the call. Eliot's time especially stopped. His heart gave out one last beat to say goodbye to Julian's. The room lost it's beautiful colors, they faded along with Julian's face. 

'The memories are finally gone.' thought Eliot as he smiled his last.

“Nonononononono, you are not doing this!” Julian quickly grabbed Eliot and shook him.

“You can't! Not today or tomorrow, never! I can't handle this without you! Hey, come on, Eliot? We were supposed to live together, have a life, beat the crap out of people who-” He broke. He knew there was no coming back. 

Then the ambulance came. He backed off slowly. Time seemed to take to long. He was faced with Eliot's father, who never accepted their love. He just stared at him, Julian couldn't move anymore. He then felt two arms wrap him and hold him. The man was shorter than Julian by 3 inches. He had long black hair with a strand of white that was always gelled back, out of his face. 

“I'm so sorry.” is all Julian heard.

Eliot's siblings came in screaming and crying. His little sister, Saphire, had long white hair and she always wore blue or white dresses. She was screaming and threatening people, even though she's five. She was being held back by Eliot's older brother , by one year. He had short back hair and silver eyes. He dressed like a normal seventeen year old. He was taller than Eliot by four inches. Their oldest sister came in but she was quiet. She had silent tears falling, the worst kind. Her name was Sin, she had back hair but red highlights. She was twenty, but acted like a thirteen year old. She wore punk rock clothes because she was in a band. 

The scene killed Julian more and more. He heard the threats, crying, and even the silence that no one notices till the end. Eliot's dad, Seth, finally let go of Julian. He hid his tears from the world even though the world would understand if he burst out into a hysterical cry. But he didn't, he had a family to take care. He quickly made everyone get into his car and head to the hospital. Julian followed even though he knew this was the end, there was no more. 

As they arrived at the hospital. There were nurses and doctors running everywhere. Julian waited with Eliot's family in the waiting room. Seth would try to catch anyone and ask to see where his son was. They would shove him off one by one. He finally came to this one nurse, he had long blonde hair, his left eye was golden while his right eye was a ruby color, and he had slightly tanned skin. He was kind enough to direct them to the room Eliot was in. It wasn't in the morgue which gave Julian a spark of hope. His eyes widened and he started for the direction the nurse had pointed out. Before he took off he made sure to thank the nurse and get his name, which was James. 

Julian ran down the halls leaving Eliot's family behind.

All he was thinking was 'He's possibly alive, I need to get there before something happens.' 

Just before he was able to get into Eliot's room, a man stopped him.
