Mello was gone. And there was nothing that Matt could do about it. This wasn't like one of his video games where he could easily earn another life or restart the game, no. Mello, his best friend and partner, was dead, killed by Takada. Everything was different now.
Matt sat down on the old, worn couch that was located in the middle of the living room in the apartment that he and Mello had once shared. Now it only belonged to him. At first he thought it would've been a relief to him, Mello's death. No more insults, super-difficult hacking jobs, or risky Mafia missions.
'But I was wrong, wasn't I?' Matt thought sadly. 'Nothing is the same without Mello.' He reached into the pocket of his vest and brought out a pack of cigarettes. Ever since Mello's death, he had been smoking more frequently. Matt lit his cigarette and inhaled deeply. He leaned back against the couch and exhaled, letting the gray wisps of smoke slowly rise up to the ceiling. He wiped his eyes. He hadn't realized he had been crying until then.
'Mello made my life…..exciting, I guess.' Every time Matt would finish a task, Mello would always present him with a new challenge. He thought back to his last encounter with Mello, right before his life was claimed by the powers of Kira. 'I told you not to go through with the plan, didn't I?' Then he remembered the last thing Mello had told him right before he sped away on his motorcycle, straight into the hands of Death. ''Goodbye, Matt. I'll see you soon.'' 'But you never did, did you? Now what do you expect me to do? My life isn't worth living without you.' At that thought, Matt's eyes widened.
He walked into the kitchen and opened a drawer that Mello had told him never to open. ''Here it is.'' Inside was Mello's gun. A Browning 9mm Hi-Power semi-automatic pistol. He picked up the gun, fingering the trigger, and knelt down on the cold kitchen floor. Wordlessly, he pressed the gun to the side of his head, feeling the cool black metal touch his temple. 'Now all I have to do is pull.' Tears were now uncontrollably running down his cheeks.
''Goodbye, Matt. I'll see you soon.''
Matt smiled. ''Yeah, I'll see you soon, too.''
BANG!
