"Justin , just keep breathing okay ..." Immanuel whispered as he carried Justin in his arms while running to the hospital . Justin relaxed as blood pooled in his chest and leaked out of his mouth . Justin's eyes started to close "JUSTIN ! JUSTIN BRO WAKE UP !" Immanuel screamed while trying not to cry .

Immanuel wasn't paying attention he ran out into the street and was hit by a car and dropped Justin "NO!" Immanuel screamed as he crawled towards Justin "please don't leave ! We've already lost hunter ! We can't lose you to Justin FIGHT THROUGH THIS YOURE STRONG!" Immanuel shouted as he pounded his fist on the street " no dude stop ... this is it for me ... I don't wanna fight anymore ..." Justin whispered "I...I...I " Justin sobbed "I never wanted to fight ...all I wanted was a better life but that comes at a cost ...I let the success go...go...to my h-head ..." Justin cried and wiped his eyes "IM...I..." Eman whimpered "it's okay bro let it out ...I'm always here for you man " Justin smiled "I'm so sorry I got you into this Justin ... well never get to see the world we wanted to build together ... we'll never hear Ronnie crack jokes together ....we'll never laugh or smile together again JUSTIN PLEASE PULL THROUGH THIS!" Eman cried

"Sorry man ... don't think I can do that for you this time " Justin chuckled with blood running from his nose ... it mixed with his tears "COWARD! YOURE AFRAID TO KEEP GOING YOURE AFRAID TO LIVE BUT IVE TAUGHT YOU BETTER JUSTIN WEVE BEEN FRIENDS SINCE WE WERE JUST KIDS JUSTIN YOU CANT JUST ...YOU CANT JUST LEAVE ..." Immanuel cried

He became silent and stopped hitting the street "Please ..." Immanuel whispered "I'm sorry ...but before I go ... tell me all the memories you have of me and you ... paint a picture of my life before it's over " Justin said as his eyes started to become pale .

People began to get out their cars and houses and crowded around justin and Immanuel "sophomore year of high school ... we bumped into those dumb guys who kept messing with us at the football game ..." Immanuel said slowly As he held justin watching him die "I remember " justin said so weakly his lips hardly moved " yeah ...then we fought them and won ... we won man then ...two weeks later them and 10 other guys stomped us out and after getting jumped even though you had a broken arm and I had two broken ribs all we could do was laugh at how funny it all was " Immanuel said .

People surrounding them recorded ...some cried , some just stood in silence .

"Remember junior year in college when we were supposed to create a slide show for biology but instead we got our guitars and played a song for the class and failed the project .

Eman thought of so many memories, watching Justin take beating to protect him , taking beating to protect Justin ...so many fights and so many fun times ...he'd never experience them again "and the last memory....today I didn't fight hard enough to protect you ...." Eman said firmly with tears streaming down his face "today I tried to save your life but I failed you and now I won't see you again ...at least not until I die ...bro I love you " Eman said as he let the tears wash over him

"I love you to ...bothers for life " and with his last bit of energy Justin gave Eman a high five and locked fingers and after that calm moment ...justin Pittman was no more ... the shadowless god was now at rest .....
