READING THE LETTER OUT LOUD
"Dear Dumbass." Axel held no emotions this time when he said his name. Usally he would say it as if he was still awake. And then he'll read his letters to him out loud. He brearhed in and out.
"Dad, is arrested. I have no family who lives near by, so I'll have to move to New York after Mom's funeral." Axel is not crying nor he's smiling. He feels nothing.
Just stares off to his lala land of never ending of nothing.
He sees Bryan in a hospital gown, eyes closed. Needles connect to wires, connect to a meaching that tells him if he's alive or not.
Now there's silent, and cover his eyes just hearing the beat of the meachin.
"This means I have to say good bye to you." Still nothing. "Dumbass, when are you going to wake up?"
He gets close to him, rest his head on Bryan bearly breathing stomach.
"Please." Axel says, "Wake up. I have no one to talk to. Tang is all over the place. Everyone is straying away. Dad hits mom, now she killed herself. And you got shot by the person who raped you."
And at that tears came out of his eyes. At frist they were sliding down, then it became complete sobs.
"Byran." But in reality Axel did not say his name as perfect. It was screambled with wet tears and mucas.
"I need you."
And by thats, Axel felt a weak hand, grabing his. He looked up seeing , lips were trambling on Bryan. Eyes were shacing, nose was twitching.
Lips began to parden,
"Ax," he begins to cough, non stop. Axel couldn't do anything, he was frozen not sure what to do.
Then Byran had one more cough, and stop.
Stop Everything.
As in stop coughing. Stop beating. Stop breathing. All togther, he stop trying.
By that point. Once Byran stop, everything stop.
Well not the world, but Axel's world stop. He just stayed there. The nurse bursted through the door, checking Bryans pulse, and found nothing. Dorctors came in, and more people came in. And by the end Axel was outside.
Was going to feel something, but end up feeling nothing.
He is emotionless.
Sincerely,
Axel.
