Authors Note: Ok so I haven't put up anything in AGES but I've been busy and stuff…ya know! Anyways this is a little depressing…read on! Please reply coz I don't have friends….lol!
"Tyson your aunt will be here soon" called out his mother
Tyson lay in his rooms, listening to music, "and?" he grunted out
"Tyson please!" his mother fussed
He sighed and dragged himself out.
When his aunt arrived she doted all over him
"Oh look how much you've grown!" she swept him into a hug. He smiled at her for a moment then returned to his face of complacent boredom.
"Oh sit down Fiona." His mother pushed her and her son into a chair, "please have something to eat" before them was a mountain of cakes and pastries.
"Thank-you Dianna." She smiled and took some, "how is my little nephew?"
He shrugged
"oh cheer up misery guts. I know you'd prefer to be out with your friends right now" she giggled, "how are your little friends? That nice Chinese boy was here last time I visited, how is he?"
Tyson looked up at her angrily; tears started creeping into his eyes. He suddenly stormed out. He stopped in the hall way and sank to the ground, crying silently, he could hear his mother and aunt still talking.
"What did I say?" asked Aunty Dianna quite baffled
His mother sighed, "Rei committed suicide a few weeks ago"
"oh my…how's he taking it?"
"as good as can be expected. I just don't know how to handle him right now"
"I hope none this suicide thing rubbed off on my little Tyson" cooed his aunt
"I don't know what my little boy was doing with someone like that"
"I wonder what he did to be pushed into doing it?"
"It's kids and the times. Like I said I just worry how much of it rubbed off on Tyson, I mean who knows what he said and did in front of Tyson?"
"STOP IT!" yelled Tyson, coming out of his hiding place
"Ty…" his mother looked at him
"How dare you talk about him! You didn't even know him! You didn't even know him!"
"I did too! He visited several times" she said curtly
"You didn't know though. You didn't spend the last three years of your life with him! You didn't know what he was like! He knew me better then you do! How dare you say awful things about him!"
His mother stood up, "Tyson stop it! We have a guest now behave!"
"You and her can go shove it, I hate you both. I wish you'd died and not him, atleast he was there for me!" Tyson was crying again and now ran out of the house. His mother was screaming after him.
Tyson ran and ran without even thinking. Somehow he ended up at his Grandpa's house.
"Little dude, is that you?" called out grandpa as he entered the gates
Tyson dashed over to his Pa and hugged him.
"what's wrong hommie?" grandpa had seen the tears
"I had a fight with mum" he sobbed
"come on then, sit down" they sat down on the veranda, "was it about Rei?"
Tyson nodded, "how can she talk about him? She doesn't even know him"
"She didn't mean it I'm sure"
"she did! She said that she didn't want him rubbing off on me" he wiped his face, "stupid cow."
"Your mum's probably wondering where you are" said Grandpa, knowing this wasn't so, Tyson always came here when he was upset.
"I don't care. I want to be here with you, at least you knew him" said Tyson defiantly, at least you can grieve with me he thought.
Grandpa squeezed his grandson, "lay it out for me hommie"
"I miss him" he whispered
"We all do but people leave us sometimes and it's not easy but that's what happens, all you need is time to grieve"
"No." Tyson shook his head emphatically, "When people die you know it's going to happen. Teenagers don't one day end up dead. Nobody knew. Not even Kai. Rei was never like that. I spent nearly everyday for 3 years with him, why couldn't I tell? Why didn't anyone see it?"
"Rei didn't want you to see Tyson, it's not your fault, or Max's or Kai's or anyone's" reassured Grandpa.
"People keep saying that but…it doesn't make it any better" whispered Tyson
"Your mum told me you hadn't seen your peep's since the funeral"
"I didn't recognize him, the boy in the casket. The sad face, all the life gone. I didn't know who that was. I never knew Rei did I? And I can't stop wondering about the rest of them. Do I know them or are they like Rei? I don't want them to disappear too because Rei didn't die…the Rei I knew just disappeared" no more tears came, his face has become solemn and serious.
"You'll never know by sitting on my porch" said grandpa wisely, "You can't hide in your room forever in case someone you care about leaves"
"but he won't come back. Mum left and dad and I didn't see them for ages but they came back eventually."
"Little dude it hurts I know but one day it won't I promise"
"How do you know that?" pressed Tyson
Grandpa sighed, "when you get this old hommie something's are just common knowledge."
"How many other people do you think disappear like Rei?" asked Tyson suddenly, "how many other people just disappear?"
Grandpa shrugged.
"I'm gonna just walk around" said Tyson standing.
"go ahead."
Tyson wandered the yard, every spot a memory. He came to sit on a rock by the pond. He looked at the fish swimming around and his heart sank, 'why Rei? Why did you leave us to fend for ourselves?' He wiped more tears away. He would never understand why his friend would betray him like that.
A/N: ok so I wanted to make this happy, I really did but it just turned out like this and I couldn't change it, believe me I tried! I know it's a little morbid but move on please review, I don't even mind flames
