Sup guys? ToxicDJ here. This is a back story to a piece of drawing I am...drawing.... Thought you should read it before I drew so you can get some feels out of your system before I draw. warning: You may feel the feels...

'SKY!' I screamed loudly, skidding on the grass on my knees and latched onto my friend's hand as he hung precariously off the edge of the cliff.

We had been fighting a harsh battle, and Sky was weak as was I. My arms were cut, my legs were weak and screaming for a rest and my face had a slash from a sword down it. But whilst Sky had been fighting valliantly, but a lone creeper had exploded and caught him off guard as he was fighting against some Zombies. Threw across the ground by the explosion, the only thing saving him now...was me. Tears formed in my eyes, stinging my face where they fell. But none of that mattered, all that did matter was Sky.

'Hold on. Please, just wait a moment and I can pull you up!' I beg and ready myself to pull. 

As I do so, pain shoots through my body, causing me to scream and a brief and quick flash of tears escapes my eyes. I lay down on my stomach, holding onto Sky's gloved hand with all my remaining strength. 

'Come on!' I encourage myself, but Sky's glove was slwoly slipping out of my grasp.

'Ty, can you promise me something?' Sky asked, tears escaping his budder colored eyes but he wore a small smile. I could do nothing but give a small nod. 'Look after everybody for me. Especially Jason. Lead them well...' Sky said through tears.

Shaking my head, I say 'No! Don't say that! I need you here, with me! Life isn't worth living if you aren't there to greet me every day. Life isn't worth anything if you aren't in it!' I sob. 'I would feel guilty, knowing if I were stronger I could have saved you!' I cry. I desperatly hold onto his hand, not willing for him to slip away out of my life forever. 

'Ty...don't worry. I will watch you from the Aether. Every night when you look up, I'll be the brightest star you see, and I will guide you. I will watch you.' He said.

'Please Sky. I am begging you.' I cry at him, begging for him to hang on so I can save him.

Suddenly, Sky pulls on my arm and pulls himself up slightly. His lips connect to mine, planting a warm kiss on my lips. I feel my heart flutter slightly. But he goes back to only being supported by me. 

'Goodbye Ty.' He said and let go of my wrist, letting his hand slip through mine.

'NO! SKY!' I scream, reaching down to him as he fell.

He plummeted to the rocks below. His cape fluttered in the wind, making it look like he was floating. Tears streamed my face and fell like a waterfall, Sky looked like he was happy, but still reached up to me. I couldn't bear to look any more, I couldn't bear to watch him leave me. Clutching the amulet he gave me in my hands tightly, this was the biggest thing that would remind me of him. I slowly stood up, picking up my diamond sword and his 'budder' sword as well. Turning around, I see the peach colored sun rise up over the hill, signalling a new day. A day of sadness. A day of mourning. 

The cuts, bruises and blood that stained my clothes were nothing, mere scrapes comapred to teh hole in my heart that Sky filled. A hole had burned inside my heart, one that could only be soothed by Sky. Sky and I had been fighting mobs that threatened a town that me, him and Team Crafted stayed at.  Everybody had been there, but were sent back after they suffered injuries. 

Limping slowly back to base, a light trail of blood was left behind, oozing slowly from my wounds and cuts. By the time I got there, my hair was bound to my face by blood and tears. I walked into the Infirmary, not caring about anybody else after the events I just saw. Jason flew over to me via his jetpack, his arm in a cast and sling. He had broken his arm. 

'Jason? Holy crap are you alright?' He said, sitting me down on a bed. I gave no answer, but instead I squeezed the amulet tighter in my hand.

'Ty? Wh...where's Sky?' Jerome asked.

'He...He's dead.' I somehow managed to choke out. I looked up with my right eye at everybody, not moving my head from its bowed position. Everybody looked at me in disbelief.

'A creeper exploded adn caught him off-guard, leaving him hanging over the edge of the cliff. He was holding onto my hand so he didn't fall. I coulda saved him.' I say before anger boiled inside of me. I stood up and leant against the wall.

'I COULD HAVE SAVED HIM!' I shout and slam my fist into the wall, shattering the Stone that was there. 

Seto walked over to me, placing a hand on my shoulder. 'Ty, you couldn't have saved him...' He said as I sat back down on the bed.

I was given a Potion of Healing and it healed my wounds, but not the painful hole in my heart. I calmed down slightly. 'He's really gone isn't he...' I say, taking in everything.

Looking down at the golden amulet, I stared at my reflection. For a second I could have sworn I saw Sky's looking back at me. A new wave of tears fell down my face as I said one last thing...

'I never should have let you go...'
