Would You Love Me?
Intro: Sasuke was suffering from an extreme case of isolophobia. While raising him by himself, Itachi tried his hardest to support both him and his little brother and raise money to get his baby brother some professional help, but it was too late. Six months later, six more deaths occurred. Now after the devastating losses and a year of separation, Madara mysteriously invites his sister, his brother-in-law, his nephews, and the remains of his nephews' friends to a summer vacation home as a way to reunite the family. But there is something seriously wrong. Itachi is hallucinating or he's seeing visions and mysterious murders are happening all around them. Can Itachi, his friends, and his family survive the summer home of terror or will every single one of them become the victim of a bloodthirsty maniac? Or is it something else?
Prologue
They say that when a person dies out of great rage or great sorrow, the ghost will become angry and haunt the living like a cancer. Killing or torturing them as they please. It is their curse until their souls have finally found peace. Only so very few have found it.
Anger…
Tragedy…
It's what drives the departed souls to wonder the earth for eternity.
But what of confusion? What if a soul is so confused with what happened before they die that they can't rest and they wonder with the living, looking exactly as they did when they die – no matter how distorted their bodies turn into or how unrecognizable their bodies have become.
They stay with the living, forever probing the reason for their confusion.
Walking down his home street, Uchiha Itachi readjusts his winter coat to maintain the bit of warmth he has against the freezing January wind. His breathe is visible as he lets out a stressed-out sigh and his satin black eyes are glaze over with the troublesome thoughts in his mind.
'At this rate, I either need a part time job or I need to ask my parents for money. Asking for money is clearly out of the question, especially from them. And it's too early for Sasuke to be around other people just yet. I'm already pushing it with leaving him alone for an hour.'
After that last strain thought, it became even greater relief to see his small house appearing only a house away. It's small and when he got it after moving out of his parent's home, the cost of it was cheap. However with money problems, Itachi might have been better off with an apartment. But all of the good condition apartment buildings are near his parent's home and he wanted to get as far away from them as possible. Especially after what happened with his baby brother, Uchiha Sasuke. He wanted to live in a place that's remote and a place that they wouldn't even guess he'll inhabit in. It's a rather small two story house with a living room, dining room, a kitchen, and one bathroom on the first floor and on the second floor would be two bedrooms, one bathroom, and one hallway closet. There isn't much furniture but it's durable. The house lives in what people would call a safe neighborhood. At night, you didn't see gangsters or suspicious people hanging around on the streets. There would always be a party about something; birthday party, graduating party, baby shower, engagement party, dinner part, etc. Itachi usually hates stuff like that. The street is just as busy as the city life back at his old home, or it might be worst. He always claimed to want to live in a quiet neighborhood where he can finally have some peace and not hear the sirens of cops or an ambulance go off, along with the profanity of street gangs and the honking horns of traffic. But for the sake of an escape, he's willing to bear with this avenue. Besides the social gatherings and the 'just too much to be considered just disgusting' smiles and greetings of neighbors, it's a safe neighborhood and that put a big plus on Itachi's handbook of places to live with his baby brother.
Walking up to his house in long dark jeans, black tennis shoes, a thick dark red long sleeve shirt under his knee length black winter coat, his long dark chocolate hair in his usual low ponytail, and a black knitted scarf wrap around his neck, Itachi approaches the door and reaches for his pocket for the keys.
Then…
Thump, thump, thump
Hearing those noises catches Itachi's attention. "Sasuke?" he whispers, wondering if it was him who just made those noises. Now feeling a little bit of anxiety, the older Uchiha brother quickens his movements and opens the door.
"Sasuke!" he calls through his small house. He looks around for any sign of his brother or catch any sounds of movement at all.
Nothing.
Not bothering to take his coat off and putting his keys back in his pocket, instead Itachi just quickly takes off his shoes before walking on the floor and he puts the keys on the wooden counter near the door. "Sasuke?" he calls again and still there is no answer.
Now this is unusual and deep in his guts, Itachi does not like this one bit. Ever since he brought Sasuke to live with him, the boy would run down the stairs and greet him. But that was only on very rare occasions, that and when Itachi leaves Sasuke by himself for a long period of time. The boy would usually be stuck to his older brother like glue, only because of his…'condition'.
As of right now, Itachi is looking before him a hallway with three doors; one that leads to the bathroom, one that leads to the kitchen, and the other that leads to the dining room. From there, the dining room has another door that leads to the living room. The stairs to the second floor would be in the living room but the room closer to the long hair man is the kitchen. He takes a look inside and…there is nothing. There is no one in the kitchen and it appears that no one has been tampering it recently. Next room would be the bathroom, however Itachi knows for a fact that Sasuke would not come down from his new sanctuary – his room on the second story. But better to be safe than sorry. He checks the bathroom and it's the same as the kitchen. Empty and has been for a while.
So then the next room would be the dining room. After checking the first two rooms, the anxiety in Itachi's gut grows and it's slowly starting to creep its way to deeply worried and then panic. Going into panic is something that the Uchiha Itachi would do under no circumstances. He's usually so calm and collected that nothing seemed to faze him. He hardly ever reaches 'deeply worried' level but lately living with Sasuke, he's been there quite often. Now as he enters the dining room, calling his baby brother's name one more time, he notices that something is different.
On the dark ironwood table is a small glass ash tray with a pinch of ash in it. Itachi's not much of a smoker and Sasuke is most definitely not a smoker; his older brother made sure of that. But when Itachi is really stressed and when he has Akasuna Sasori over to check on the teenager, since Sasori is a doctor despite his job as a carpenter and is one of the few people the older Uchiha trusts, the red head would have a box of cigarettes and would smoke one or a few depending on Sasuke's condition; one for he's doing good and several if he's gotten worst.
However, Itachi hasn't smoked a cigarette in over a week and Sasori is not to come over for another two weeks.
The long hair man walks over to the ash tray and picks it up for further inspection. Did he forget to clean it out since the last time Sasori was here? No, he distinctly remembers cleaning it being the neat freak that he is. But yet again, there's only a little bit of ash inside so maybe he missed it.
Not possible.
Clasp
And another sound distracts Itachi from his inspection. It sounds like it's coming from the living room or somewhere nearby. He puts the ash tray down and walks over to the door to the room.
"Sasuke?"
And a horrifying sight greets him there as he looks at the stairs.
There at the base of the stairs, besides a small puddle of blood dripping to the ground, is the body of Uchiha Sasuke lying face up, onyx eyes wide open, his mouth gaping open, his neck in a distorted position, blood trails leading to the scalp of raven black hair and some dry trails leading to the collar of his navy blue shirt, a big spot of blood on his shirt causing it to shine in the light and turn into a dark purple color, blood and some scraps of skin under his fingernails, and deep scratch marks on his neck where the blood resigns from. There are some other limps that are in disfigure positions but the one that stands out the most and is the most serious is his neck. Is his neck…broken?
Then like an explosion, every little thing of reality that was bothering Itachi up to this point just blew away and incinerates into nothing. For the second time in his life, his mind became a total blank and he feels tremendous shock with what he sees before him. But this time instead of also having anger, he has horror and all he wants right now is that this is a nightmare – a horrifying dream that isn't real and when he wakes up, he'll see Sasuke alive and clinging to him like his life depended on it. But this is no dream. This is real and Itachi's baby brother is on the stairs...
Dead.
"S…" His voice isn't working. It's like he has to force the wheels in his throat to work in order to say one little word. "…Sa..su…ke?"
"Aaa..aaa…aahhh…"
One sound from Sasuke's lips and someone turned on the emergency power engine in Itachi's brain. His brother is still alive but he's suffocating. Move, move, move!
Quickly, Itachi goes to his pocket to get his cell phone and quickly calls 911.
"Hello, what is your emergency?"
"My brother just fell down the stairs!" Itachi answers, sounding a bit hysterical. "His throat is all scratched up and his neck is broken! He's been like this for few minutes!"
He must really sound hysterical because the lady on the other line said, "Okay, we've already traced the destination of your call. An ambulance is on their way. Just hold on a little longer and don't touch him. You might cause further damages."
Then the line goes dead.
Not that Itachi minds right now. He probably wouldn't stay sane if he kept talking. If the operator asked him for his address, he probably would have mess it up or give them the wrong one since he has to think about it. He can't think right now. Not with Sasuke continuing to make that very low breathing noise that sounds like a door creaking open.
Despite what the woman said about not touching him, Itachi couldn't oblige to it. He drops his phone and rushes to his brother's side. Just don't touch the neck, but following that is very hard since the long hair man wants to help save his brother's life. But he's not a doctor and he wasn't studying in med school before he dropped out. So all he can do really is just stay by Sasuke's side and whisper comforting things to the boy and to himself.
"Sasuke, stay with me," he says, his voice in a frantic. His hand goes to his baby brother's silky, spiky locks and he smoothes his fingers through it. "Don't give up. Just stay alive. Please, Sasuke. Don't die."
"Aaa…aaa…aaa..hhh…" is all Sasuke lets out of his mouth. In a way, it's like he's calling for Itachi, or at least that's what he would like to think so. But rather it was or not, Itachi's just a bit relieved to hear his baby brother respond.
He continues to softly stroke the teenager's hair to show that he's here but he also grasps the boy's hand and gives it a tight squeeze before raising it to his face and pressing it against his cheek and his lips.
'Please, Sasuke. Don't leave me.'
"Earlier today a heart-wrenching tragedy occurred early in the evening between two brothers living in what many believe to be the most passive, happy neighborhood in Konoha. Suna Temari has the report," the news anchor reports on the six o'clock news.
Hearing that, Uzumaki Naruto puts his attention on the TV screen than the delicious, hot and steamy ramen before him. "Brothers?" he asks, looking at the screen. Hearing him, his older brother, Uzumaki Kyuubi looks at it too from his steak sandwich.
They weren't the only ones watching. In their own homes, Sasori and his new boyfriend, Katsu Deidara look up at the TV from their hot making-out session, Hoshigake Kisame and his boyfriend, Hozuki Suigetsu stopped their card game, Hebi Orochimaru was working on his snake research while his lover, Yukushi Kabuto is having an important phone call, Kaguya Kimimaro and his fiancé, Sakaguchi(Japanese voice actor's surname) Juugo were making dinner, and Uchiha Madara is sitting on the couch watching the news while his little brother, Uchiha Izuna was preparing dinner. But while everyone was looking at the news in mild or just a tiny bit of curiosity, it was Sasori who looked the most shocked and dread fills his mind with the thought of who the two brothers the anchor was talking about. What really catches everyone's attention is when Temari appears on the screen and gives her report.
"Around four o'clock this afternoon, fifteen year-old Uchiha Sasuke took his own life clawing at his throat and falling down the stairs, breaking his neck in the process. It is to believe that the boy was suffering from a terrible case of Isolophobia but according to his twenty two year-old brother and guardian, Uchiha Itachi, the boy was slowly gradually getting better; causing the sudden surprise of suicide to be even more of a shock. Uchiha Itachi was unable to give a statement but it is to believe that he left the house momentarily to take care of some business at the bank. When he returned, he found his little brother on the ground by the stairway, only breaking his neck minutes before discovering him. By the time that the ambulance arrived, Uchiha Sasuke had already died and Uchiha Itachi, with a beating heart, had also died."
Then it came time to some statements said by the neighbors who really didn't know much about the two siblings since they were so isolated to the neighborhood. But it was at that point that the people who knew them and was just watching the news reacted.
Sasori jumps off Deidara and quickly heads for the door. "Deidara, hurry up!"
"Coming, un!"
Izuna, only taking out the dishes needed to cook, put them on the table as Madara had already leaped off the couch to the door. Kimimaro and Juugo stopped everything, turned off the stove and oven, and headed for their door as well with Juugo's car keys in hand. Orochimaru had to 'unexpected' grab Kabuto by the collar and dragged him to his car. Suigetsu and Kisame dumped their cards on the table and got up to the door of their apartment. Though on the way, Kisame nearly tripped for not watching where his big feet were going.
Cling-clang
Hearing the chopsticks landing to the ground, Kyuubi looks across from him at his only living relative and he sees Naruto ready to go into shock from what he just heard. "S-Sasuke…is..d-dead?" If there is one thing that Kyuubi knows best about his older brother is that if Naruto goes into shock and he doesn't think about anything else, he'll go insane. Kyuubi saw that before when they heard that their parents died in an car accident and he never wants to go through that again for as long as he lives.
Quickly he says, "Naruto, we have to go now!" The fifteen year old blond looks up at his older brother, his sky blue eyes shaking with the overload of his emotions and his older brother tells him, "Itachi needs us right now. We've got to be strong for him. Hurry up and get in the car."
"But," he responses meekly, "…but we don't know where he is! Itachi took Sasuke away from his parents and didn't tell us where he took him, remember?"
"The safest neighborhood in Konoha is Ai Avenue and Itachi told Sasori their new address. I'll call him up and ask where it is but we have to go NOW!"
After progressing what his older brother just told him, Naruto took a few minutes to think before calming down just a little bit. He nods his head once he did. His older brother is right. This is no time to have breakdown. From what's been reported, Itachi already has and he needs the support of his friends right now. The younger blond might not know Itachi as well as Kyuubi does but he does know that Sasuke was the world to him and he's probably on the verge of suicide himself. With that, he becomes the first to buck it out of his chair and to his older brother's car.
Arriving at Itachi's small home was like looking at a scene for a CSI murder mystery TV show. There are police cars everywhere with blue and red lights blinking and one ambulance truck with wide open doors and no one inside. Most of the people standing outside are reporters from other News Stations and the rest are other residents living on Ai Avenue. They all gather around, some with sympathy while others are curious. This is probably one of the most 'exciting' events to happen here and it was something surely to be nosy about. Seven cars came up about the same time; five of them belonging to friends, one belonging to family, and another belong to an intruder. Though the first to run into the crowd became Naruto who jumped out the car before Kyuubi could even turn off the engine.
"Naruto!" he calls, getting out. Also coming out their cars are Sasori and Deidara, Orochimaru and Kabuto, Suigetsu and Kisame, Kimimaro and Juugo, and Izuna and Madara. They came out and they see Naruto running into the crowd and pushing away everyone in front of him. He became stopped by a cop at the yellow 'Do Not Pass' line.
"I'm sorry, kid," the police cop said. "But you cannot pass."
"What do you mean I cannot pass?" he asks, screaming at the top of his lungs, causing everyone to hear him. "My friend just died in that house and I need to see his brother!"
"I'm sorry, but no one can pass."
"Well what about family members?"
Both the cop and Naruto look up and they see Madara standing before them with a strong, intimidating look on his face. His brother and everyone else are all standing behind him. Naruto really shouldn't be but he's surprise to see him here and the cop looks ready to piss his pants from the man's frightening eyes.
Trying not to be too afraid, the police man asks, "What is your relationship to the victim, sir?"
He answers, "My name is Uchiha Madara and I am the victim's uncle. We, including my brother and the people behind me, are close to the victim and his brother, Uchiha Itachi and would very much appreciate it if you let us pass to see him. We understand that you are just doing your job but I know that you know that Itachi needs some comfort right now."
"I'm sorry, ma'am but you cannot pass."
"Please let me in! I need to see my son!"
Hearing that voice was the same as hearing red alert on an intruder breaking and entering a bank or jewelry store. Everyone turns around and they see the last two people any of them wants to see standing not too far away from them, one of them also begging the police officer to let them through. There is Madara's and Izuna's sister, Uchiha Mikoto and her husband, Uchiha Fugaku – the parents of Sasuke and Itachi.
Kyuubi got angry real fast when he saw them.
"What the hell are you two doing here?"
Hearing him, both Mikoto and Fugaku turn their attention away from the cop and to the group of their son's friends looking at them in either surprise that they're here or total disgust and anger. Mikoto does have tears running down her usual beautiful face and Fugaku still has that stern expression he always wears. Mikoto looks like she just got slapped in the face from Kyuubi's question while her husband looks indifferent.
"You two have no right being here."
"Watch your tongue, boy," Fugaku tells him, sounding as collected and strict as ever. "Itachi is our son and as his parents, we have the right to speak with him."
Naruto got angry like his brother and screams, "You two have no right at all! You two dare come here after what you did? Why do you think this happened? HUH?"
"Naruto-kun, stop it."
Now hearing that was like hearing the news that the long lost city of Atlantis was finally found after being lost for centuries. Everyone looks up at the front door of the house to see Itachi standing there looking exactly like a broken doll. When the reports saw him, their intentions were to take pictures of him or get into reporting their story but just the sight of him is too depressing for them to do that. His satin eyes that usually hold some form of life despite always looking so cold and unsocial-able are now completely and fully dead. They look so dull and they're red and swollen. He must have been crying. His hair is messy and tangled and loose instead of his pony tail. The stance of his body is weak and fragile like any more drama tonight and he might completely break into nothing; never again to recuperate. But will he ever now that his baby brother is gone?
Seeing him, Deidara moves fast. He passed the others and the cop and just kept running to his long hair friend. As soon as he was in reach, he hugs his friend with his arms circling his neck and holding the fragile man's head close to his shoulders. Before dating Sasori, a lot of people suspected the long hair blond liked Itachi despite his constant claims of completely hating the guy. But even he can't deny the fact that he does care about him. Itachi just has that kind of attraction that makes you want to get close to him; either sexually or just trying to be friendly. Mostly sexually since trying to be friendly would immediately be turned off with the Uchiha's harsh icy glare. But that's a different matter now and unimportant. Right now, the long hair blond wants nothing more than to just say that everything is going to be alright and question his friend's well being, but even he knows that everything is not going to be okay and Itachi is most certainly not alright.
"Oh, Itachi," is all he can really say right now with a sympatric voice because he also knows that sympathy is the last thing that this man wants right now.
Well maybe there is one thing he can say.
Deidara pulls away from Itachi and tells him straight in the face, "We're going to go through with this, okay un? You, me, and everyone else. You don't have to go through this alone, un." Not a single emotion passes through Itachi's face. All he does is nod.
"Thank you, Deidara."
Then he turns to look at his parents and the second that his eyes look at them, Mikoto was ready to ignore the police man who would dare to stop her again and she grabs the yellow tape to raise it up and go under it. But right before she could, Itachi tells her, "Don't come near me. I don't want you two here."
If Mikoto didn't look heartbroken before, she does now. Hearing her own son telling her that he doesn't want her was the same as someone telling her that she had a miscarriage when all she ever wanted was a child. Fugaku on the other hand glares at his son's words while the others are now looking between Itachi and his parents; Kyuubi and Naruto being the only ones who look 'You heard him, scat!'
"You still blame us for what happened?" Fugaku asks, sounding entirely disappointed. "Boy, you have no right to be an Uchiha. Just like your trouble-maker of a brother." Mikoto turns to him in shock of her husband's words and now Kyuubi looks more pissed off than anything.
"It is your fault! You're the reason why Sasuke had isolophobia in the first place!"
"But I wasn't the one who left him to die."
Itachi's finger twitches at his side at the sound of that and his bangs completely covered his eyes to hide away the thoughts in his mind and the feelings in his soul.
Fugaku defends, "Sasuke was nothing more than a trouble-maker from the beginning and his behavior only got worse when Itachi left the first time."
Kyuubi yells, "You sent him away!"
"But he didn't say a thing against it. Itachi left without so much as an argument to stay with that good for nothing. Then he dares to just come back here and blames us for his sickness then take him away from his mother. And now he's blaming us for Sasuke's death when it was clearly suicidal. Good riddance if you ask me. That boy was nothing more than a disgrace to the Uchiha name."
Then without another second to stand listening to this guy, Kyuubi and Naruto darts off towards him but only Kyuubi was able to punch Fugaku right in the face. Naruto was caught by Juugo who pulled him back. The younger blond was struggling like mad as then police officers grabbed Kyuubi to restrain him.
"Let me go!" Naruto screams. "I want to kill that son of a bitch!"
"No!" Juugo tells him. "Calm down."
"Why should I? You know just as well as I do that the bastard deserves worst than just a broken nose!" While Fugaku is on the floor holding his now bleeding and broken nose, Mikoto kneels down before him to see if he's alright while Kyuubi is being handcuffed. "Apologize! You have no right at all to talk about Sasuke like that in front of Itachi and especially in front of me, you arrogant, self-centered, prideful, fuckin asshole! Go to hell and rot!"
Thump
"Itachi!"
Hearing Deidara's cry, everyone looks up and they see Itachi on the floor and Deidara going into a panic attack besides him. Sasori passes everyone else and runs to the collapsed Uchiha. Deidara gets out of his lover way while Sasori checks his pulse and then his eye. "Oh no. He's having a psychological breakdown."
"But that doesn't make any sense, un!" Deidara practically screams at his lover's ear after he heard that. "It hasn't been long enough for him to have one, un."
Sasori turns to him and says, "The event must have traumatized his mind a lot more than we thought. He needs medical attention now or he's going to go on total shut down."
Instantly after hearing that, Deidara screams, "Someone get a medic over here!"
Quickly, the ambulance rushes over to the collapsed Uchiha and Sasori pulls his lover away for them to work. One of them brought a stretcher and after putting the oxygen mask on, they put Itachi's body on the stretcher and begin to take him away to the ambulance truck to take him to the hospital. The police had to make way for the people to move and while the nosy neighbors continue to just stare like this is an entertaining and addicting drama, Itachi's friends watch him go, hoping for nothing more than the healing of his well being. If Itachi lives through this, they are all willing to stay with him and make sure that he'll recover after this tragic event; rather it'll take months or years for him to heal. Even Mikoto is looking at her son in a worried matter but Fugaku is still just glaring at his eldest son.
"Excuse me."
Both Sasori and Deidara look behind them and they see two coroners and a stretcher of their own. They don't need to guess on what's on it. "May we walk through please?" the first one asks. Sasori and Deidara got out of the way and they let the coroners come out with the stretcher and a body on it and a white sheet over it to hide Sasuke's body from the naked eyes. When that came out, the reporters went back to work and took pictures while those who personally knew the teenager look at the body with deep, overwhelming sadness.
Naruto couldn't help it. With Kyuubi in the cop car and going to jail for a few hours, again, the younger blond has no choice but to cry in Juugo's arms. He starts crying and Juugo holds the smaller blond in comfort. Kimimaro was petting the boy's head as his way of comforting him but he leans his head against his lover's shoulder in his own need for comfort for what happened. In the cop car, all Kyuubi could do was lean his head against the cage screen between the back seat and the front seat. He wouldn't dare cry but he does bite his own lip tasting the iron taste of blood in his mouth. Kisame placed his hand on Suigetsu's shoulder to remind his boyfriend that he's here but the teenager has his violet eyes glued to Sasuke's corpse. Suigetsu knew Sasuke before the boy stopped going to school but he wasn't as close to him as Naruto was. His friend but not a very close childhood friend. Yet still, he wanted to bawl his eyes out like Naruto too. Watching the body pass them, Orochimaru's hand is gripping Kabuto's in a crushing death grip. For now, Kabuto ignores the pain and places his other hand on the long black hair, creepy looking man and pulls his head close to his. He leans his own head Orochimaru's and the man bites his lips while a tear rolls down his cheek. Deidara is already holding onto Sasori like he's hold on for dear life and the red hair is doing his best to comfort his lover but he has a regretful expression on his face. He knows it's not, but he feels that some of the blame is on him for not being able to help Sasuke further with his phobia. It could have prevented his death if he just tried harder, but he already did everything he could. Finally, Madara can feel the distress from his little brother so he first turned to Izuna to look at his sweet face before pulling him into his arms, holding him close to his chest. The younger Uchiha does feel like wailing his eyes out too but he can tell from his older brother's hold that Madara needs the comfort just as much as he needs it from him. Both of them loved those two boys more dearly than their own parents, and that's a fact.
As Itachi is placed in the ambulance truck and Sasuke's body is being taken away in the coroner's truck, the people below weren't the only ones watching them go. But this pair of eyes is staring at the one being taken away to the hospital.
"Nii-iiiiii-sssaaaaannnn…"
From the second story of the house, someone is standing there with shockingly paper pale skin. If anyone could see him, they would gasp on how he just stands out behind the glass window in the dark room without so much as a candle light. But that's only on people who can possibly see him. Besides the skin they would be surprised about, they would also be in gaping shock at the distorted form of the neck and how wide his eyes are. They're so wide they might just rolled out their eye sockets. They really stand out from the dark circles surrounding his eyes, just as the blood and the deep scratch wounds on the neck would also stand out. Uchiha Sasuke stands there from his bedroom window, watching as they drive his brother away from their home.
"Why did you leave me?"
I would have written more but I fear it might be a bit too long for a first look. Forgive me, but I'm depressed so I'm letting my thoughts out through a horror fic. I hope you don't mind.
I don't own Naruto or the Naruto characters. Wish I did, but no. Thank you for your support on my other stories and I hope that you like this new one. The next chapter would not be considered a chapter but rather a second way to begin the story. As confusing as it sounds, I hope you will all still like it. As soon as I'm over my depression, I'll get right back to 'You Mate Only Once'. It's just at the moment, the next chapter is too happy for me to write about.
But tell me how this went. Good? Bad? Let me know, kay? Bye.
