A/N: I promised myself I would write two Christmas fics in October simply because I had two ideas in my head and since I didn't want to wait to write just one, I decided to make 2 different fics. I hope you enjoy because this a little different than my normal writing.

Chapter 1

My alarm exploded in my ear trying its hardest to wake me up. I slammed my fist on the tiny clock and rolled over in my bed so that I was on my back. I slowly opened my eyes to stare at my giant ceiling. The house was dead silent. I really couldn't hear anything beside kisses from Kai and Ray who were just down stairs. " Why the hell did I wake up today?" I said looking at the ceiling. I asked myself this question every day. I really didn't see the point of waking up if I had nothing to wake up to. My grandfather was dead and oddly enough I was the only one that seemed to be affected by it. (1) Everyone else went on with their normal lives as if nothing had happened. My birthday had passed a few weeks ago and ironically, I was the only one celebrating it. Kenny, my first original friend, was gone in Europe, studying with some of the greatest scientists in the world and he is only 15. Max went off to the U.S for about 6 months leaving me to wallow here alone. He did wish me a happy 16th birthday though. Kai and Ray were here. Actually they were always together no matter what. They've been going out for about a year and still haven't given each other an inch of space. They both seem to have no problem with it too. If Ray goes back to his village, Kai goes with him. If Kai goes back to Russia, Ray is there to tag along. If I want to just hang out with them, it's just 'go play with Max or something.' It really pisses me off because not only are they staying in my dojo; they act like I'm not even there. I seriously wonder what I did to deserve this. Was it my ego? I get I was a little ego-tastic when I was younger but that was about a year or two ago. I grew older; maybe they don't get that part though. Oh yeah, I also quit beyblading about a month ago. Kai didn't even make practices anymore and I didn't really see the point in it anymore. I actually barely exited my room. I look out my window and watch the snowflakes silently fall against my window. I've been thinking for awhile now. I could just run away, you know? I'm pretty sure no one would miss me. Actually, I'm sure no one would notice. Plus, I don't even call this place home anymore. It's just a resting spot. I sit up in my bed before standing all the way up. I take a shower, get dressed in a warm yellow sweater and blue pants, and then grab a backpack before heading back to my room. I grab my cell phone, mp3 player, and hat. I put my hat on my head and put a few clothes in my bag. It was then that I saw Dragoon and the beyblade launcher on my desk. I looked at it for awhile before grabbing just the blade. Dragoon was still my friend no matter what. I then walk downstairs into the kitchen before piling the bag up with snacks and other things to get me through the trip. I go to my secret hiding place and look to find all my savings gone. I'm instantly pissed. I walk into my living room to find Kai and Ray on the couch making out. I walk over to the table and grab my money, which was sitting on the table in my wallet. "What the hell were you doing with my wallet?" I ask checking to see if all my money was still there.

They break the kiss for a moment. "Calm down hothead, we were just seeing how much you had."

"For what!?"

"We were going to lunch, so put it back." Kai said with a small smirk.

"Fuck you." I said coldly before grabbing my hoody and slinging it over my sweater. I put my bag on my back and opened the door seeing snow had flooded my yard.

"Tyson are you going somewhere?" Ray asked standing up.

"Oh so you finally noticed?" I said grabbing the keys to a motorcycle I had bought not too long ago. Once again no one had noticed, mind you.

"What are you talking about?" Ray asked walking towards me.

He touched my shoulder and I instantly pushed his hand away hard. "Don't touch me." I said coldly. I really didn't mean to, it was more like a reflex. Now that I think about it, I hadn't been touched by another human since Max had left six months ago. I really didn't remember what it felt like.

"Tyson what's up with you? All you do is stay cooped up in your room all day." He said a concerned look on his face.

"Well all you do is stay upstairs with Kai's dick up your ass! It's none of your damn business. Now leave me the hell alone!" I shouted taking a step outside.

"Tyson. All I want to do is help you. Why are you always in your room isolated from us?" Ray said looking me in the eye. I could see a tear forming clearly.

"Ray give me a minute." Kai said to the neko-jin, though I didn't even hear him. The boy nodded before walking inside.

I suddenly felt really bad for what I said. It wasn't Ray that was driving me away. He was trying to help. "Ray I'm sorry." I said taking a step towards the door. Kai was suddenly in front of me and punched me hard into the snow. He picked me up by my shirt and threw me hard into the street.

"At this rate, you're going to end up alone! You've never known what love is, and you never will! Hell, you'll probably die alone! You can come back when you've gotten over yourself!" he said before slamming the door. I wiped the tears from my eyes and sat up, refusing to cry. I spit the blood from my mouth before walking to the motorcycle that was parked in front of my house. I was 16 so I was officially able to drive. I got on it and started the engine before putting my navy blue helmet on. It was a blue and white motorcycle. Half blue and half white. It was about the closest thing to me right now. I pulled the throttle and sped off down the road, not daring to look back. Maybe, ten years or so from now, I'll come back. Just maybe. I turned a corner and drove for about 20 minutes down a straight road. It was then that I pulled up to the bridge that Max and I had saved a puppy from, the first time we met. I pulled up to the sidewalk of the bridge and got off, looking at the water in front of me. It was almost frozen and I didn't see anybody around. It's weird because, beyond this bridge is my way out of this town. I'm almost sad I'm leaving; not telling anyone good bye. I sat on the side of the bridge so that my feet were dangling above the frozen water below. I grabbed a chocolate bar from my bag and slowly took a bite, just watching the fish under me swim. I wonder if I jumped, or slipped, or anything if anyone would try to save me. I wonder if anyone would bother coming to my funeral. I wonder if I would even have a funeral.

"Tyson?" a voice suddenly said almost making me choke. I turned around and saw Max walking towards me. He sat down right next to me and followed my view. "What are you doing here?" he asked in a curious tone. I didn't answer and still sat looking down. "Were you about to go somewhere?" he said still not looking me in the face.

"Y-yeah." I said lowly. "I'm leaving this place. For awhile."

"Are you going on a trip?"

"I guess you can call it that. I'm running away. I don't think I'm coming back."

"But why!? Tyson you can't just run-"

"Max, I've made up my mind. There's no changing it."

He pulled his knees up to his chest looking down at the lake. We sat there for who knows how long, just looking at the lake that had caused us to meet in the first place. "Wait Tyson what about this?" Max said suddenly breaking the silence. "You can come with me and my dad when we go to our winter retreat!" he said finally looking at me, an excited smile on his face.

"I don't know Max." I said looking at him.

"Come on Tyson! It's a few miles from here and it will still be like running away!"

"Yeah but still."

"Ok how about this. If you go with us and you don't have the best Christmas ever while there, I'll run away with you. No regrets, no worries. Just the two of us."

I looked at him to see that he was totally serious. It would definitely be better to have him with me rather than nobody. I smirked for the first time in months. "It's a deal then." I said standing up. He stood up as well and we shook hands with a smile.

"Come on! Let's go back to my place to get ready." He said running back to my bike. I smiled and was about to walk over to him before my foot suddenly slipped. I gasped loudly feeling myself fall backwards all of a sudden. I threw my arm out as a reflex grabbing onto the slippery edge and holding on as tight as I could. There was no way I could die here. Not now. Not after what I promised Max. I looked up quickly and saw that my hand was slipping. Just as I lost my grip however I felt another hand grasp mine. I opened my tightly shut eyes and saw Max above me, trying to keep his grip on the sidewalk.

"Max let go!" I yelled not wanting him to fall along with me.

"Tyson you're so generic! You know there's no way I'm letting you fall." He said with a smirk, trying his best to hold on to me.

"It's not generic Max! Let go!" I said trying to pull my arm away. I gasped however when that little stunt caused the blonde to his lose his grip. I watched as we fell, the bridge getting farther and farther away from view. I felt like I was falling for an hour. Everything around me seemed to be moving slowly. The birds in the sky, and the clouds which were looked like they were just an inch above. Max's scream brought me back to reality. He latched onto my neck and we fell down at an alarming rate. I could feel the wind whipping at my hair, and the blonde's heart beat thudding faster and faster as we fell. I hit the water first, causing all the breath to fly from my stomach as we slowly floated down into the icy cold water. The water current then blew Max away from my arms, making him hit his head hard on a block of ice. I hit the lakebed slowly. My eyes were half lidded as I struggled to keep conscience. The blonde floated down directly on top of me. He was unconscious and his body felt light as a feather as it fell on top of my limp one. I tried to get up, but I couldn't move my body enough to swim up. I looked up and could barely see the light at the top of the lake. This can't be it! I can't die yet! Max can't die yet! I tried desperately to get up, but I had no feeling in my legs or back. The water also seemed to be getting colder by the minute. If we didn't get out soon, we would freeze! I blinked, trying to shake my head of the weariness but it just kept coming back. My eyes got really heavy and started to close, and I couldn't stop them. There was nothing I could do.
