Yo, so this one involves suicide, it's not directly mentioned but it's hinted at. I don't really know if what I wrote is triggering but I don't want to take any risks so, this is your semi-warning. Alright peace.

Evan's POV

"Connor! Wait-Wait up!", I yell frantically, chasing after Connor. Connor. Heh.

"No can do Shorty!", he says picking up speed. I try to speed up but fail miserably as I fall onto my face. I roll over and look and my knees. Blood. Oh god. I start feeling a little light headed from the sight of blood. Connor's footsteps stop a moment later. "Ev? You alright?"

I shake my head quickly. Connor's footsteps restart and come closer. Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't cr- and you're crying, good job Evan.

"It's alright, it's only a little blood. You'll be fine." He wipes at the tears that slowly make their way down my face. I look up and smile weakly. Connor. Heh.

One Month Later

The soaked pillow rubs against my face. The tears make no difference to how the pillow feels anymore. He's dead. He left me. He left everyone without a second glance.

My mom knocks on the door. "Evan? Sweety? Are you going to come down for dinner?"

"N-not tonight M-mom.", I answer weakly, my voice breaking from the previous sobbing.

The doorknob wiggles. "Mom I sai-" And she opened it. Great. Mom steps in and sits beside me on the bed. "Are you okay?"

Always with the 'Are you okay?'. What do you think, Mom? My friend died two days ago. Do you really think I'm okay? ...friend. Huh.

I nod reluctantly. She wraps her arms around me in a tight hug. I sob into her shoulder. I mutter. "...I m-miss him."

Two Months Later

I can't do this. It's too hard. He's gone. Jared doesn't seem to care nearly as much as I do. No one does. He might've had his bad days and bursts of anger but he's-he was still a nice guy.

"Catch you later?", Jared says holding up his hand. I weakly slap it.

"Sure.", I force a smile. I walk outside to, surprisingly, see my mom's car. I watch her unlock the door and motion for me to come in. I acquiesce. She puts on music and starts driving away without a word. I look over to her to see tears in her eyes.

"Mom. M-Mom you should pull o-over. M-Mom you're gonna g-"

Crash.

Everything goes dark until suddenly, it goes bright.

"C-Connor?"

Acquiesce- accept something reluctantly but without protest
