Choices and Regrets (Preview)

Okay guys, this is another sad story, however, it will have a much happier ending than my previous ending did as well as a few chapters to go with it.

Blood pooled the floor and began to stain it a deep red as the person it was flooding from began to grow paler.

There had been only one thing keeping the wounded from taking the final step towards peace, and that had been his two loving brothers whom he had been determined to look after. However, one had moved out and started his own life, and he was sure that the other would be fine in his care, after all, he could probably raise the little one much better than a failure of a life could.

With a small smile and a few tears, the boy looked back on all of his happiest moments with his two siblings.

I'm sorry I couldn't be stronger... but this, will be better for you. I promise, you'll be better without me.. I love you Esta... Zeldy.... Please don't cry when I'm gone.

And with that final thought, his eyes slowly shut, and he fell into a final, peaceful, sleep.

Zeldris hadn't left his room in days, although, Estarossa understood why. He could still remember the day so clearly...

The day the two lost their eldest brother.

They had known about Meliodas's depression, regardless of how he tried to hide it from them, but only Zeldris had known about the cutting. The youngest child had found the eldest with a knife in hand about a year ago and had confronted him about it.

Meliodas, not wanting his brother to worry about losing him, promised to stop cutting. A promise he kept for a year... before the final straw had pushed him over the edge..

Working three jobs, taking care of two children, dealing with years of abuse from his father and abandonment from mother, and his only outlet being taken as he forced himself to stop so he could be there for his brothers, his depression began to worsen, and his acting became better.

He left behind a note, but Estarossa hadn't let Zeldris read it yet for fear of making him blame himself. After all, there was nothing they could have done.

Sighing as he contemplated what to do, he read over the letter again that still brought tears to his eyes.

Esta, I'm sorry for leaving you like this, but I can't fight this anymore... not after losing Elizabet, although I'm shocked she stayed with me as long as she did... Anyway, I've tried everything, I even started going to counseling and taking medication, but it just doesn't make it stop.

You are a bright kid, you always have been, and I know you will take much better care of Zeldy than I ever could. I know this is a lot to ask of a sixteen year old, even if you have already begun your independent life, but I will do everything I can to help you get started. That's why all of the money I've saved up I'm giving to you, as well as a starter home I bought for you and Zeldy when I realized I wouldn't last much longer.
There's another letter in here... please give it to Zeldris when he's ready. And Esta.....

I'm so sorry, please forgive me for leaving you.
