It was cold and dark, there they were on top of a building,
"Come on!, get down from there!.. Come with me."
"NO, you can't stop me Tom!, I must do this,"
"Please Bill, don't." Tom started to cry, he couldn't handle this, not now." I need", "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND" Bill laughed sarcastically "YOU don't know what its like…day after day…the people…looking at you, I can see the way they look at me."
"You still can't do this!, don't do it," Tom looked longingly at Bill "I see them too you know, they anger me!, How they look at you!, I know how you-." "NO YOU DON'T," Un able to listen to his brother plead with him any longer he clasps his hands over his ears not willing himself to hear anymore. "YOU CAN'T KNOW!...You don't know!...you'll never know."
Tom steps forward wanting Bill to stop this madness, quivering he pleads for Bill to stop, "Please Bill" Bill steps back even closer to the edge. "Why don't you understand!, I must do this… It'll be better for both of us."
"NO DON'T,DON'T SAY THAT!"
"Why!, What could you possibly do to stop me!...All it takes is one little step for me to, DROP!"
"I-I could tell you…Tell you my secret."
"What secret could possibly change my mind! I know everything about you."
"I-I can't tell you" Tom looks down in defeat unsure anything can change his twin's mind.
"Well then!, It seems that the time has come…I have to bid, farewell…Tom." Bill steps right to the edge. "NO, Please!, Please." Bill looks over the edge at the street below, Tom stands there motionless tears rolling down his cheeks, Bill's tears reach the pavement each one signifying a promise that was never kept, "Goodbye" Bill whispers. "I-I love you Bill, so much more than a brother." Bill's eyes widen upon hearing those words, "I always have" Bill turns still speechless "w-what" But he slips and feels himself start to fall, "NO, BILL" Tom rushes forward to grasp at the body falling slowly, Bill gasps as Tom grabs his arm, Tom holds onto Bill with all his strength as to not let him fall as he dangles off the side of the building "Bill, Don't let go."
"Do, Do you really love me?"
"yes"
"I-I love you too…." Whimpering in a timid voice "Please… I don't want to fall."
"You won't, I promise"
"B-But-."
"Shhh, it's ok, try to stay calm"
Bill starts to cry uncontrollably "I-I'm so sorry, I just never thought about-."
"Come on now," Tom starts to struggle with keeping his grip "We'll get you back up." His hand starts to slip from the grasp, Bill's eyes widen in panic "I'll fall, I don't want to, please don't make me leave you,"
Tom realises that Bill won't make it back up, Bill realises too with pure fear in his voice "Please don't make me leave you Tomi"
"Never"
They both slip and fall towards the pavement below, together in their last moments, the pavement nears then….
"AHHHHHHHH" Tom wakes up tears flowing down his cheeks scared and upset about what just happened,
"Tomi?, Are you ok," Bill rushes to Tom's bed concerned for his brother, "What's wrong Tomi?"
"Billa… Billa, you're ok!, I-I had a horrible dream, you… I… we…."
"Shhhh it's ok Tomi, I'm here, It's ok," Bill enveloped Tom in a soothing hug, "Billa, p-promise me you'll n-never make me l-leave you!"
"I Promise Tomi, for you and you alone. I'm alive and you're alive together we are one and will never be apart."
