Chapter 2
Matts POV
How long have I been walking? This road is endless and I've seen nothing since that one flashback. That one memory. I shake my head and continue walking since it's all I can do, there's still no sign of Mells. Maybe he died after all and I got given another chance. No stop thinking like that he's here I can tell. There is nothing but white surrounding me; pale low down clouds which is odd I admit but then again nothing has been exactly normal here it's almost like this isn't the earth after all…
Matt! Matt!
I spin around goggle flying out in front of me because I moved so fast. I can hear Mello, his voice, he's calling me.
Matt! Matt!
Where is he?! My mind is a scrambled panicked mess and I desperately run I circles looking all over for my blonde haired friend. To no avail I can only hear him, I can't see him. Damn it. Just keep looking, I tell myself and that's exactly what I do, I run and run, look and look. Search and search for that chocolate-lover. Where is he?! Why can I he—There he is! Now I can see him right in front of me all I have to do is walk to him. I wave my hands wildly trying to get his attention and rush up to him kneeling down. Mells? He's not looking at me, in fact he's looking…through me?! Mello! Mello! Michael! I yell his real name in a desperate attempt to get him to look at me. See me. Hear me. But he can't, it's as if I am a ghost. I sigh and reach out to touch him and I watch in horror as my hand goes right through him! Is he dead?! No am I dead?! What is going on?!
He's talking again. Mello. I've been sat here for what seems like forever, just sat next to my best friend although I can't talk to him. I felt like I couldn't leave him even though he can't see me so here I still am. Sat on the crystal white paving, watching the other male. He keeps saying my name and words like 'burning' 'dead' and 'hell' I have no idea what he's talking about or what has gotten him so frantic and almost soulless. I close my eyes for a moment and as soon as I close them he speaks yet again but this time I can't believe what he saying… He said I love you…I love you Mail…Come back! No. he's joking surely? I open my eyes and glance at him getting a shock. He's smiling! My stubborn grumpy and fierce best friend is smiling, and he just admitted that he loves me… What kind of twisted fate is this?!
L's POV
So this is heaven? I admit it's not as flashy as I imagined, although I do quite like the colours on the buildings. Rainbows to be more precise. It's nothing like earth, well nearly, heaven still has buildings. Lots of them too. Anyway I've been here a while and I have been informed that although it is sad, both Matt and Mello are in heaven. I didn't expect that they would both die ah…so easily but then again they were dealing with not only Kira but the Japanese Police. It was fate I suppose but I don't believe in that. Like love at first sight I don't believe in that either. Not that it's a bad idea but it should remain an idea, you can't fall in love with some at first sight…
Your still here? Oh well I'm not doing anything I'm relaxing something I couldn't do back on earth. Okay I lied. I am doing something, I'm watching over both Matt and Mello as it seems they haven't found each other yet which is funny considering before they were practically joined at the hip. Matt is watching an image of Mello; I think he thinks it's actually him. He is too nice for his own good, just sitting there like a loyal dog. 89% Loyal. It's almost cruel but heaven can sometimes deceive the mind so that it see what it wants to see, as is the case with Matt and Mello…
Mellos POV
Why did he walk away? That idiot doesn't he want to…to even be near me?! FUCK YOU THEN! Idiot! I fell myself falling to my knees, mouth open in a silent scream as the pain racks through my heart. My veins are on fire and I'm so tired of missing him. Missing him when he should be by my side especially now. Fuck this, fuck it all! I glare angrily down at the pavement in silent rage… In my mind I can see him. That stupid red-headed gamer, standing there grinning, cigarette in hand. He has such a beautiful smile… Matt…Matt it burns…It burns… Your death was too much for me…Matt…I love you, I LOVE YOU MAIL! He can't hear me. My thoughts darken and even in my mind his image is now torn and is burning black… yet I'm smiling…
Matts POV
What am I doing? I'm just sat here listening to Mello talk. But it's not Mello it can't be because my hand goes right through him…Maybe it's a hologram? Or my mind trying to be cruel… Both probably. I let out a heavy sigh and stand getting to my feet, the moment I stand 'Mello' disappears and I'm left looking at a card. It's an image again but an image of a card. It's a blue card with a zebra on the front saying 'I'm black and white striped and your white and black striped but…' The image ripples and the card is open so I can see that inside it says 'We match.' I feel a smile twitching at the corners of my lips. I remember this card; Mello got it for me on Valentine's Day two years ago. He insisted it was just for fun and we were just friends. He said that but something magical happened after that. I remember it only happened that once but it was amazing, electric and I had never felt so alive… We kissed. Short but sweet, I remember grinning at him when he pulled away red-faced. Ah it was then that he stated that we were just friends. Mello. Yep I'm definitely smiling…
If that image was a vision of Mello recently then he does love me…And know what? I love him too. I was by his side since we were six years old in Whammy's house till the day I got shot… But I'm back now! Right let's find him. With that said I turn and continue down the never ending road into the 'Past.'
