Daniel's pov

I answered the call and put my phone on the floor in front of me.

"You're happy to hear me again, right?" and with this question the torture begins.

I never say anything to this cause what should I even say?

I'm going crazy and I can't escape. He begins to blame me for everything..absolutely everything.

"Please...stop." I whispered with tears running down my face. "I'm begging you..please don't do this to me."

"You know that I will never stop. I already told you thousand times. I will keep doing this until you finally die." he responded coldly.

"You don't even know how close I am to kill myself." I said without hesitation. And when I said it out loud, I actually realized how true it is. I wasn't thinking about anyone I would hurt with that.

"Great. At least I don't have to waste my time to go all the way to Stillwater and kill you. But you should hurry up." he replied like it was nothing.

"Why?" I asked.

"Cause you're just wasting everyone's time. You're a fucking loser nobody wants..nobody needs..nobody loves. You're absolutely useless in this world." he was talking in a calm, but cold way.

I curled up on the floor, listening to the devil itself and accepting his words. I think he's right, but I don't wanna believe him. I want to cream as loud as possible, but I'm not able to. All I can do is whisper a "Stop." but almost no sound comes out of my mouth.

"Why can't you just disappear? The world would be a better place. Honestly..mom and dad would be still alive..you should have been the one dying that night and not them..for fuck's sake! Why did you kill them?! Why?!" he yelled suddenly.

"I didn't do anything." I cried out.

"You killed them. Because of you they had to burn to death in a fucking car!"

"It wasn't me." I sat up slowly. I must look horrible right now. Completely destroyed. Completely depressed. My arms around my head, red teary eyes, my mind full of shit. Not speaking about the cuts and scars all over my arms hid with the sleeve of Jonah's hoodie I wear all the time recently. I'm done..I'm totally done.

"Just go for it and end your fucking useless life already...our parents would be ashamed to have a child like you. They would be so disappointed in you. They had never loved you. They had never wanted you. Just like I have never asked for a brother. Especially someone like you."

I stood up. I was absolutely out of my mind. Not even thinking straight anymore. I walked to the sink and searched for the razor, but I found something else. A small bottle of pills. I grabbed it without hasitation. Ben was still talking some shit, but I couldn't even hear him. My vision was blurry, sounds were fading away, being mixed with the mess in my mind. I couldn't take it anymore.

I spilled the pills in my hand. All of them. Then I closed my eyes and...took them.

Jonah's pov

When we got back from work, I decided to make some food so I went into the kitchen. Daniel followed me too.

"Will you help me?" I asked with a smile on my face.

"Of course." he replied smiling as well and pecked my lips. He's so cute. And he's wearing my hoodie. It looks so good on him. Although it's kind of hot these days and he's still wearing it. But if he likes it that much.

My thoughts were interrupted by Daniel's voice.

"What's it gonna be?" he asked.

"I was thinking rise, some salad and I don't know if we have some meat or something." I said and he searched for the ingredients.

"Looks like we have everything." he responded and I helped him to prepare them on the kitchen counter.

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

After dinner we sat down on the couch in the living room together and started to watch some tv show.

"Jonah?" he spoke up and I looked at him.

"What's up babe?" I asked and put my arm around his shoulders.

"I wanna say sorry again..for being that rude in the morning. I was just tired and I haven't slept good last night..you know I love you and I would never hurt you." he said and I pulled him closer.

"I already told you that it's fine. Seriously..I wasn't mad or anything. It just felt bad, but it's fine like I said, I forgive you cause I love you and I know that you had a reason for acting like that. Everyone has moments." I responded. He hugged me tightly and I did the same.

"Thank you." he whispered in my ear.

"No need to thank me..I love you so much." I responded quietly.

"I love you more."

After a long time we pulled away. We can't stay like that forever even if that's all I want. Hold him in my arms so no one can hurt him again.

"Let's get some sleep now." I suggested and he nodded.

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

I woke up in the middle of the night. It was dark. I turned to my left and wanted to put my arm around Daniel, but he wasn't there. I quickly sat up.

'where is he?'

I checked the time on my mobile.

'4.54am. That's way too early even for him.'

I decide to wait a few minutes cause maybe he just went to the toilet and he's gonna be back in any second.

I waited..but it was silence in the whole house.

I got up and left the room. I immediately walked towards the bathroom door cause I saw the lights under the door. So he's really there.

I went closer......silence...

I knocked on the door. "Daniel? You're okay?" I asked, but he haven't answered.

"I'm going in, okay?" no answer.

I opened the door and...almost broke down.
