Hopper pulled Bill's motionless body out of the freezing water, he performed cpr immediately but they all knew it was already too late. That day it rained, the first cold rain in summer, they took his body in a black body bag into the red truck that took him away. His wet hair clung to his forehead, his lips and ears were blue. He was a cold as a block of ice and his face was forever frozen in sadness. The news came out that morning, Bill's parents had been abusive and pushed him to the point where he felt like he could not live any longer. But will knew that this was not the whole story, will knew that the last words bill had ever spoken were in fact words of hurt and anger, said to will. His funeral was that day, it had been a week since he had passed and the wounded in all of their hearts were still fresh. Will showed up to the funeral that day alone, he had no one's shoulder to cry on, nobody to comfort him, to tell him it was all going to be ok. The grass was wet from the rain that still kept on coming. He stood alone near the casket, he was crying and he couldn't stop, he just couldn't Bill was gone.

"Will?" His voice was warm and smooth, it could only be Mike by the way he touched will's shoulder

"Mike." Will said nuzzling into his shoulder, Mike stood a few feet above will wich he loved

"Will, are you alright?"

"No, it's all my fault, I killed him."

"It's not will, there was a lot of stuff going on at home that we didn't know about."
"No, I know, but I pushed him over the end, I broke up with him." Will told mike all about it, and how his last words were 'I love you will, but you need to leave' and how he died thinking that Will didn't love him. By the time the funeral was over, Will had cried so much that he had no tears left. Mike drove will back to his house, once they were there they sat down on the couch in silence and just sat there in each other's arms.

"Mike, I love you."

"I love you too. You need to know that it was not your fault thought, this is not on you."

"I know, it's just so hard."

"And it's going to be a while, but I'll be there for you all the way." Mike said kissing will on the forehead and moving down to his lips, for will, just feeling Mike's body heat made Will feel alright.
