Prologue:

I stood in the empty room. It's eerily quiet. The only things that could be heard were cars passing by and the wind blowing back and forth at the bloody, yellow drapes.

What am I doing here?

Even I don't know. And you thought I should be the one person who knows everything. I thought so, too, but now... I just don't know anything anymore. Not after you are gone.

I could see everything. The bloody floor, the ripped carpet. EVERYTHING. Your sister moved everything out, your belongs and the furniture. Though there were nothing left to the furniture. They're all ruined because of that insane, cruel bastard you called, 'Dad.'

I grew angry, angry at the fact that you were so weak that you could not fight back to him. If you did, you would be here right now, in my arms. No. You would be at my house right now, in my arms. Not here. There are too many horrible, traumatizing memories here that you should not see.

But no, you did not fight back. You did not want to fight back. You wanted to end everything. Life was really, really rough for you. At school, you show none of that. Not even your 'friends' know of the life you have at home. Not Yugi. Not Honda. No one. You kept everything to yourself. But I knew. And I swore to myself that one day, I will be the one that end all of that for you. Rescue you from this horrid place and we'll be with each other. The safety I could've given you. A home that you could want. The life that you deserve. But you rather let him end your life than let me rescue you. You thought I would never do that for someone like you but you're wrong. You don't know my true feelings. I did a good job hiding them from you.

You have yet known my feelings.

My feelings are...

I know you won't be able to hear me. You're far, far away from this place now. You can't hear what I want to say to you and you can't see that I really mean it.

STUPID ME. If I had sucked up my pride and tell you how I feel, you could be alive right now. Right beside me. Stupid me.

"I refuse to believe you are dead."

I mumbled those words over and over again. Hoping against hope that they will come true.

'No... Jou is not gone,' a part of me is willing to believe what I just thought to myself, 'He's asleep. Go inside his room. He is lying there, sleeping.'

'Not dead, but sleeping. Go. Go.'

I quickly walked into a small room. The room was painted white with a desk still in it. I placed a hand on the desk. Your literature homework from last Friday. You were doing your homework? I am surprised. I showed a little smile. The paper. Nothing but a mere paper. Filled with your hand-writing or as I used to call it, 'chicken scratch', with your name on top 'Jounouchi Katsuya'. I smiled again.

I love your name. There is something about it that makes me happy. Like your honey-brown eyes. They were so happy and cheerful. They sparkle in the sun. Yet... they are as sad as autumn. Sad that your mother abandoned you. Sad that your sister was taken away from you. Sad that your father abused you. Sad that you can't tell any of those things to anyone.

I looked around. 'There's no one here.' I had, once again, lied to myself. Always thinking I will see you. No. I can't anymore.

I sat down on the floor. Tears swell up in my eyes. 'No. I refused to believe that you're dead. KATSUYA. Where are you?'

"KATSUYA." I can't hold them in anymore. Tear drops fell freely on the floor. Reality is harsh... I know because, even though I am rich and powerful, I went through hell to get where I am today. HELL. No one knew how much pain it brought me or how much it still haunts me at night.

But just thinking of you washed all that away.

Then suddenly, something caught my eyes. I picked it up. It's a piece of paper. Writing in very neat, legible penmanship. I read it out loud, "I'm in love with Seto."

'Seto?' You're in love with me? I couldn't believe my eyes. Why didn't you tell me? Did you doubt my feelings for you? Even though I don't act like it but I care for you, I worry over every bruise you get, and every tantrum you threw.

Sadness washed all over me. If you had one more day to live, I would save you from this place, you wouldn't be dead right now. I would save you from your father. If we had one more day, if I was one step ahead. If everything worked out like how I planned, I would take you with me to America after high school graduation. However, all that can't be fulfilled anymore.

I think I'm going insane... but I need to be sane. I need to be brave. Live on for you. Carry your heart with me wherever I go. Never forget you...

"Jou, I know you're in here."

No, you're gone.

My vision blurred. Water formed in my eyes.

"I have something to tell you."

My true feelings, my worries, my sadness for you. My heart only belongs to you.

"Please come with me."

No, you can't. You're gone and it's my fault. My fault.

"I can't live without you."

Really, I can't.

"How can I go on everyday without you?"

More tears fell.

I love you.
