I don't own MBAV. So I was just listing to random songs on YouTube, just clicking on one of the recommended ones after each finished when I heard You Found Me by the Fray. I immediately was inspired to write this. I hope you like the first chapter. I'm currently working on three stories at once so it could take like three days to post a chapter on this or one of my other stories. I just had to write it. Please give me your reviews (I've been doubting my writing abilities lately and want to know if I'm as bad as I think I am or just self-concise as always) Well back on a happier note (which this chapter definitely won't be) I hope you like.

…Ethan's room…
Ethan sat on his bed, tears rolling from his eyes. "Goodbye" he whispered, looking around the room. Standing he ran his hand over his things, before grabbing Benny's shirt. Ethan had taken it one time he slept over. "Benny" The boy's lip quivered. "Benny I love you" He said allowed for the first time. Sitting back on his bed Ethan grabbed razor and began cutting his wrists. Over and over the blade cut his skin. It was painful, so painful but Ethan wanted it. Blood pooled out of his cuts as Ethan lay back on the bed, closing his eyes. His thoughts became fuzzy and the pain was gone. Benny's face smiled at him. Ethan felt his life flash behind his eyelids. But it wasn't his life it was Benny, because Benny was his life. Benny was everything, the sun and the moon, the earth and the sky. But Ethan had to go, he knew that. Benny needed to find love and Ethan would stand in his way. He was doing this for Benny so it was ok. Benny's smile was the last thing he saw.
…Benny's house…
Benny and his grandma were eating dinner, laughing about something they had seen on TV. The phone rang and grandma stood. The teen kept chuckling to himself as his grandma picked up the phone. Turning his head Benny saw the look on the old woman's face. The only time he had ever seen that face before was after his parents died. She just stared at Benny, tears falling from her eyes. Hanging up the phone grandma stood in front of her grandson. "What happened" Benny asked, scared of the answer. She just led him to the living room, sitting them down on the couch. "Benny…" the old woman tried to talk but stopped short. "Grandma what happened" Benny pleaded. "Ethan committed suicide" She whispered. Benny's face turned dark, his eyes going blank. "No no. Ethan wouldn't do that" he squeaked out. Grandma hugged him as he began to cry. The tears didn't stop, for the rest of the night Benny cried, everything in his world gone. When morning came Grandma put a sleeping spell on him. "I'm so sorry" She told him stroking his hair.
…three days later…
Benny stood with Ethan's family, dressed in black. He walked into the funeral home to see the plain black coffin at the far end of the room. Walking toward it the world seemed to slow. It felt like hours walking toward it. Reaching the box the boy finally looked down. Ethan lay as if he was sleeping. He wore a long sleeve shirt. The world ended, right then and there. Benny fell to the ground in tears. Grandma, with the help of Mr. Morgan picked up the boy and led him outside. He sat against the wall curled in a ball weeping. Grandma tried to comfort him, but he pushed her away. "When you're ready to come in, we'll be waiting." After much of the school entered the building, the crying boy was finally able to stand and walk back inside. A group of kids were standing next to his coffin as others stood in the corners chatting. It felt so unreal for Benny. Ethan was the world to him, his best friend, his brother. How had he not seen how horrible his best friend was feeling? He should have saw signs of the pain Ethan was going through. But it was too late now. Ethan was gone, everything was over. After many people had left, they proceeded to the funeral. Everything after they left was just a blur. People talked and said how amazing Ethan had been. It made Benny sick that these people were talking about him like this, the same people who ignored them and wanted nothing to do with Ethan. They just felt bad about not feeling bad. Ethan didn't matter to them, they don't deserve to be here. He watched as the coffin was placed in the ground. After that there was just darkness. He awoke in his bed. "You passed out" Grandma told him. She put a sleeping spell once again on him. Benny needed to rest, his life had changed forever. The boy he loved was gone, even if he hadn't realized it yet.
…Somewhere…
Ethan felt tired, but at the same time wide awake. He lay on a white cloud in darkness. "Is this Heaven or Hell" He asked aloud. A blue light surrounded them and a small girl walked toward him. This is neither, your fate is still being decided. "Why am I on a cloud" He asked? "We find that the stereotyping helps people cope with the change. You don't have to be on a cloud. I can make it anything you want." She said, floating a few feet away from the cloud. "So do you think I'm going to hell" asked Ethan? "That is not my decision, but if I had to guess no. Well if you actually go to either." A questing look crossed the dead boy's face. The reason your fate has not yet been decided is because you are in limbo." "What's limbo" Ethan asked, laying down on the cloud. "Very few people enter limbo. Limbo is for the people who are stuck to the living world. Some from mistakes they made. There are quite a few reasons actually. Though you Ethan Morgan are stuck by one of the rarest reasons. You are connected to someone. The emotions you both share for each other are stronger than anything" "What does that mean" Ethan sked, confused again. "You have a soul mate. They are not necessarily your true love, as is common belief among you living. It means that you have another half. There is someone who you truly can't live without, or die without. Because this person is still alive you must stay connected. Once you cross over there is no connection with the human world, so you're stuck in limbo. You won't have to wait too long. It may only take seventy years or so. It will just be a blink of an eye here." "So I have to wait for Benny to die." "I don't know who your soul mate is" she said turning away. "But if it's him then yes, unless of course he brings you back. But only a handful of people have been able to do that. Actually three. If you need me just call for Morgan. In a flash she was gone leaving Ethan to rest his head on a puffy pillow.
