-yes, there's an anime named this, I don't know the Japanese part of the title but I highly recommend it if you're looking for a good cry-

Johns POV

I walked into my house quickly grabbing an apple and running back out, trying to avoid his parents and there questions about my day. As I was finishing the apple my apple a looked up and saw Alex at the top of the small hill, standing by an abandoned shack that our friends and us made into a club house place. We called ourselves The Peace Protecters. I smiled, throwing the apple fore in the grass and running up to him. He jumped-hugged me laughing and I hugged back. We were really close..we talked a bit before we saw Hercules and Lafayette making their way up to us. We all created each other, Alex staying quiet but smiling up at us all with such innocence.

We were all seated around a small table that was really just a big tire. Laf was talking about his day at school, he went to a different school than Hercules and I, one for smarter kids. Although, he didn't act like he was above us like the others. Alex listened to his small rant like it was the most interesting thing he'd ever heard. I smiled over at him blushing lightly. "John..what are you looking at..?" Herc asked me, I was about to tell them I was looking at Alex but I didn't want them to think I was crazy and I also didn't want Alex to get any wrong Ideas...They wouldn't be wrong though. I looked up at him and shrugged looking down. "You've been off ever since...the incident John..you can't just hold onto him forever.." Laf said to me in a soothing tone. I managed not to cry, something I've been getting use to... "I know laffy..I'm not.." Alex looked up at me in confusion I whispered, loud enough for only him to hear, "Don't worry about it Lexi.." Herc looked up at me, "What was that?" "Oh nothing. Sorry.." I said quickly. Alex got up and stood behind me wrapping his small arms around me , "It's okay jacky.." I smiled and continued to talk with Hercules and Lafayette.

Soon the sun was setting and Lafayette and Hercules walked him after making sure I was okay with walking home alone. They walked off and I turned to Alex, "you wanna stop by the market and get some Raman?" His eyes lit up as he jumped on my back, "yeah!" I chuckled and piggy backed him all the way to the market, listening to his passionate rant about how much he cared about our friends and how he missed them, it made me sad but I smiled and and agreed on his compliment to the two.

Lafs POV

Hercules and I walked to our small house, he lived with me and mum over the summer while his parents were away. Which I didn't mind, we got to share a room and it made me light up knowing I'll get to spend more time with my baby. We're in a secret relationship. And sharing a room meet-" Do you think Johns alright..?" Hercules asked, interrupting my thoughts. "Oh..um...no..he seems so different after Alex had..." Hercules nodded knowing what I was talking about. "Yeah..it's just..when he looks at Alex's old seat like he's actually there..It makes me sadder about everything..they were so close..." I tested up and stopped walking, turning to hug him. He held me close as I nuzzles into his chest, "I miss him.." I told him, trying to hold back my tears. "I know love..we all do.."

~The Next Day at the Shack~

Hercs POV

Me and Laf walked up to the shack but stopped when we heard John talking to someone...we sighed and walked in. He jumped, "Oh hey guys.." he said a bit startled. "Who were you talking you..?" Laf asked, knowing the answer. John looked down knowing he couldn't lie to us, "....Alex.." he said in a mumble. Laf and I just sat down and looked at him in pity, "John...y-you know he's not here-" Laf said before getting interrupted by John, "Yes he is! Guys he's here! I can see him and hear him! I can hold him! He's here you just can't see him! L-look I-Alex can you write something down..?" John held up a small note pad and pen, what we weren't expecting was the pen and notepad to be takes away and float. Laf tried not to scream and held onto my arm. Johns eyes brighten up as the pen and note pad were set down in the tire. Laf and I looked at it closer as words starting to appear in familiar writing. Lafs mouth was a gap as I gasped a bit. We all read the words, "I was starting to think you'd never know I was here!" John smiled and hugged thin air, looking like he was hugging a smaller figure. "I told you so!" Laf and I just sat there in shock. Soon Laf broke the silence, "John this isn't a good thing.." John looked at him confused, "w-what do you mean..? Alex is here with us!" Laf frowned at him, "...that means something's keeping him from Heaven...we need to find out how to send him here or he'll never get to see the other side..." John took a moment to think, tears coming to his eyes, "y-you're right..."

Johns POV

Lafayette was right...I wanted Alex to be free and spend his time happily in Heaven... So, as soon as a got home I walked up to my room with Alex and sat down talking with him, "Do you wanna go to Heaven Lex..?" I asked, fiddling with the hem of my shirt. He looked up from his lion stuffed animal and smiled, "Yeah! Then I can be with you're mom and play with all the other kids! And maybe I'll be "reborn" into something else, like your mum! When she was in the hospital she told me she wanted to be reborn as a kitty!" I smiled but I felt sad. I had mixed emotions...I wanted Alex to be free...
"Yeah...How do you think it works...?" I asked softly. "Oh..My mommy told me that if a ghost didn't go to heaven it's cus she or he has unfinished work to do...Maybe I have chores I never finished!" I chuckled and rolled my eyes playfully, "heh. Maybe.."

The next days went by and it felt like I was slowly losing Alex. It was end of May and we were hiking a trail with Herc and Laf. "...Maybe I need to save someone!" Alex said cheerfully as he skipped ahead of us three. "Who would need to be saved?" I asked him. "I dunno..someone important.
I smiles and our day continued on. We hiked up the mountain and back down before we stoped at the bottom and act our packed sandwiches. Alex wanted to talk to the others so I gave him a notepad. I wasn't paying attention until Lafayette seemed to get emotional. I looked up at them. "What's wrong?.." I asked as a starter reading the conversation. Alex was talking about how much he misses playing together and how much he would give to come back. I got a bit emotional but I kept it inside. "...i-I'm miss Alex is m-much John..". Lafayette said in almost a mumble. Hercules Hughes him and they decided to head home. Alex and I decided it was best if we went home as well, it was getting dark.

We were walking the streets, talking and laughing a bit. We stopped at a cross walk and waited. "...John you're hairs so pretty." I smiled. "Thank you.." I randomly started talking about what it was like when we were little. Everything seemed like it was gonna work out back then. I started crossing the street without looking and a silver car seemed to appear out of no where. I prepared fur pain but I felt someone push me out of the way. Of course it was Alex. He looked foggier than normal. "What the heck John! You could've died!" He hugged me with al his might. "I-I'm Sorry Lexi...I'll be more careful." I looked up at him and he looked like he was fading away. "J-John what's happening.." I tried my best not to cry but I knew what was happening and I hated it. "..y-you're going to heaven Lexi.." He looked at me with tears in his eyes and gave me one last tight hug. "I-I don't wanna leave you! I don't w-wanna go!" I could only manage to hug him closely until there was nothing in my arms. I let the tears fall. I didn't care anymore. My Alexander was gone...I sobbed. I couldn't help but sob. "N-no..."
