Sal's Pov

I haven't left my room for a while...  Travis and my dad came and checked up on me... It's been 2 weeks since larry... I sighed when someone entered my room tears rolling down my face

"G...go away..."

Lisa: "Sal dear... I brought up all of Larrys things... Aside from the things I wanted which wasn't much just a few pictures so I figured you'd want some stuff...?"

I sniffle and sit up whipping my tears Lisa sits beside me and I lean into her

Lisa: "I know this is hard for you... But sal dear... You can't shut out the people that care for you... Travis has come by 13 times today just to make sure you were okay... Call him you need someone since Larrys..."

She looks down letting out a sob

Lisa: "since his uh... funeral is tomorrow..."

I hug her tightly and nod she then leaves closing the door behind her I let out a broken sob covering my face jumping when I hear Larry... He's been coming around a lot recently

"G...go away!"

Larry: "Sal, please..."

"No! Do you see what you did?! D...do you know how much I'm hurting?! How much your mom is hurting! Before I met you I was a depressed kid who was alone I had no friends barely a family my dad is always working and i..."

I cry harder and hug my knees

"G...glad your happy in the shitty darkness... Now GO AWAY!"

I throw something at him but he was already gone I sniffle and pick up my phone calling Travis

Travis pov

I was sitting on the couch worrying about Sal... I told my mom what happened and she told me to give him space but I couldn't... Jumping out of my thoughts when I heard my phone ring I jump up quickly and run into the kitchen where my cell phone was I answer seeing it was sal

"Sal baby are you okay?"

Sal: "n...no please come over I...I need you"

My heart broke... My poor boy sounded so lost I nod

"I'll be there soon baby... Want me to bring anything?"

Sal: "booze...  And yourself That would be nice"

I sigh but nod

"Okay, babe be there soon... I love you.."

I heard sal sniffle before he spoke.

Sal: "I love you too..."

With that he hung up I sighed and looked in the living room seeing my mom was still in there I walk to the liquor cabinet and take out a bottle of vodka shoving it into my backpack

"Mom I'm going to sals! He asked me too!"

I yell while running out the door

................

Sal's Pov

I was sitting on my bedroom floor the three boxes of Larrys things in front of me I had tears staining my cheeks I felt like... If I cried more my body would dry out. I jump hearing my bedroom door open and I look up seeing... My Travis... Seeing him made me smile slightly

"Hey, babe..."

He smiles at me and sits beside me handing me the bottle of vodka

T: "what's all this?"

I open the vodka and chugged some then handed it too Travis

"Larrys things... Lisa brought them up wanna help me look through them?"

Travis takes a mouthful of the vodka and nodded I pulled the first box between my legs and the first thing I Pull out his a photo of Larry, Lisa and I we were at a water park I smile tearing up letting the tears fall

"This was a good day... Larry shoved me down the water slide..."

I giggled sadly remembering that day I laid the photo beside me and pulled out two Sainty falls tickets my heart dropping and I start to tear up letting out a small sob and I laugh sadly

"These are from the ticket booth at a Sainty falls concert larry and I snuck behind the counter and stole them... We didn't end up going since you had to be 18 but he told me he chucked them out..."

I sigh sadly and I jump hearing Larry's voice in my head or... Beside me?

Larry: "I kept everything we did together I kept something too remember it by"

It felt like he was whispering in my ear... I laid the tickets beside, me and then took out all of Larry's clothes from the boxes going through all the pictures I then stand up hanging Larry's clothes in my closet and I then hang up all the pictures and all the posters that were in the box

Travis: hey babe you forgot something"

He handed me a box that was wrapped up and a piece of paper attached to it I opened up the paper and read it out loud

"Dear sal... I know this isn't much but I wanted to get you something special for your birthday I know it's in a month but I need to give this to you... You'll understand why I have to give this so soon... and when you do I'm sorry"

I put the paper in my pocket and open up the box my eyes widening when I see a locket it had Larrys and my initials on it the locket was shaped like a circle I opened up the locket and inside was a picture of Larry and I and on the other side it read "sal and larry the two weird dudes who would die for each other I love you, Sally, face"

I started to cry and I put the necklace on sniffling as I look at Travis who pulled me into a tight embrace after while of hugging and me crying I sniffle

"Babe... I'm sorry I keep pushing you away... I'm ready to tell you how I feel.. I'm ready to open up to you"

Travis: "it's the okay baby I understand"

He picks me up and we lay down on my bed together

T: "I'm listening"

I nod and lay my head on his chest

"When I had that dream about larry killing himself... I knew he was going to do it... I just didn't expect to be the next day you know..? Larry literally saved my life... One day I was having a really rough day and I was going to kill myself... And Larry knew something was wrong he ran into my bathroom and knocked the pills right out of my hand and held me for hours..."

I let out a sob

"I feel so... Broken like the whole world is just gone and I'm falling into a deep black hole... I don't know what to do Travis... His funeral is tomorrow and I have to see him... Laying there dead..."

I feel Travis lips on my head

T: "Sal... I know how much this must hurt you and I get it... But do you think Larry would want you to sit in your room all day and night starving yourself?"

I sigh and shake my head

T: "tomorrow is going to be tough I understand and I'll be there for you okay? Every step of the way I'm not going anywhere okay? I love you and I'll do whatever it takes to help you heal"

I smile softly a real smile this time I have the best boyfriend...

"I love you too"

I lean up and kiss him softly

"If it wasn't for your support and love... I'd be dead..."

I gently stroke his cheek

"Thank you..."

I watch Travis smile which causes me to smile a little bit... He's such a sweetheart
