Chapter 1: The incident

A few months have passed Since Jojo and Koa became really close friends, but one day after School Jojo rushed out of school and made his way home, eager to play with his guitar as he forgot to wait for Koa. Koa began to make his way down the road as he was going to take a short cut between a few apartments to go a bit faster back to Jojo's house. But as he turned the corner three whos surrounded Koa and without a second thought doused him in gas and lit him on fire. Screams of pain and agony could be heard coming from his lungs, as he began to beat at the flames and started rolling on the ground trying to put out his torment. The other whos saw what they did and fled in the opposite direction. Finally when the flames were out, on the floor in front of the apartments laid a charred and severely burned who. Around 6:30 Jojo hears a knock at the door as he goes to the door and answers it a who cop stands there his face just in aww.

"Is this the McDodd resident?"

"Um yes it is, why what's wrong"

"Do you know of a Kid named Koa?"

"Yeah he is my brother why?"

"Well I don't know how to put this but your brother was severely burned"

Jojo's heart just stopped.

"WHAT!! What do you mean severely burned?!"

"We found your brother a few blocks away from your house between the apartments laying on the floor, his cloths reeked of gas."

"Take me to him" as Jojo then gets onto his whophone and calls up Marcus.

"This is Marcus"

"Marcus it's me Jojo, Meet me at the hospital Koa has been severely burned"

Silence is heard on the other line as the phone went dead. Finally when Jojo arrives at the hospital, they rush into the room where Koa was laying, wires and everything are attached to his body. Koa then manages to move his eyes as he see's Jojo and Marcus coming in. He manages to speak but his voice is very soft and weak.

"Hey Jo, I guess I should make the whospital my home instead huh hehehe"

"I'm so sorry Koa I should have waited for you" Tears are now pouring out of Jojo's eyes as he begins to let out little growls.

"Hey Koa, who did this to you?! Let me know bro and I will kick their sorry ass"

"I really don't Know Marcus, I just was walking and next thing I know I'm on fire"

"Koa please forgive me for ditching you, I didn't know this would happen"

"Jojo, you are my brother you took care of me… I forgive you"

"Jo lets go, let's let him rest"

"You go Marcus and see If you can find anything, If you do give me a call"

"What about you Jo what are you going to do?"

"I left my brother once, I will not leave him again"

Marcus then nods understanding that Jojo is very serious and will not take another option so Marcus makes his way out the door. Jojo then pulls up a chair near the bed and looks at Koa tears still filling his eyes. Koa just lays there breathing slowly, as he could still hear Jojo's voice.

"Koa, I am so sorry, I fucked up majorly. If only I just waited instead of being in a rush to play the gift you gave me, maybe none of this would have happened"

"No Jojo, I'm glad that you didn't come. If you did they would have tried to do the same to you, I am glad I was able to take this instead of you"

Jojo in between sniffs just lets out a little chuckle as he gently messes up Koa's hair

"You are so lolo Koa, even in the gravest situations you still make it a joke. Are you scared of anything Koa?"

"Yes I am"

"What is it? What can possibly scare you"

"Losing you and Marcus as my brothers would terrify the hell out of me"

Tears fill Koa's eyes as he looks at Jojo as he thinks to himself.

Koa's Thoughts:

Jojo, I am so sorry about this but I don't think I'm going to make it this time. We had such good times together, rocking out on our instruments, singing songs, eating ice cream, everything was great. My greatest regret is leaving you at a time like this. I'm sure you will find somebody to cheer you up. Please do not mourn for me brother.
