Max's hands were covered with blood as he lay over the dying body of his bro. The car had hit him head on before spinning out somewhere farther down the road. Max didn't care what happened to them. All he cared about was his Shred. He cried out grabbing hold of Shred's hand.

"Stay with me!" Max shouted through the icy wind. "Please Shred! PLEASE! I love you too! I love you too! I love you too!" The words were like a mantra. HE shouted them again and again as if the four short words would bring him back.


Max blinked, blocking out the memory. He kept his eyes down, focusing on anything but the words being spoken. He concentrated on the way the suit pinched his armpits and the way his tie cut off air flow. He focused on his black pants and black shirt. HE focused on the yellow carpeted floor that was too cheerful for the occasion. It took him a second to realize it was silent. Max looked up. It was his turn. Very slowly he unsteadily got to his feet. He shook as he walked in front of the seated crowd. He kept his eyes on the ground. He didn't want to look up. He didn't want to see the boy far too young to be in a coffin. He couldn't look at the boy who loved him, now dead because of him.

"Sh-Shred was m-my b-b-best friend" Max said, voice soft. "He w-w-w-w-was there for me when I-I needed him most. He was a sp-special boy. He was a genius. His mind was almost as big as his heart. Shred had a bright future ahead of him-m b-but it was c-cut sh-sh-short… I can't do this" Max cried out. He ran from the room, bursting through the doors of the funeral home. He couldn't see. He was blinded by the tears that poured down his face. HE needed to run. HE needed to get as far away from the body as possible. Shred was dead because of him! Shred was dead because he couldn't leave it. HE had to pressure him. Shred was dead because Max needed to train year round. Shred was dead because of him!" those thoughts repeated themselves over and over in different words but were always the same concept. Shred was dead because of him.

Max screamed, at the air. He bolted farther. He didn't see it. He couldn't have even if he'd wanted to. The last thing he heard was a screech and a crunch.
