Sorry it took a while for me to update. I was a but busy. Well this is also a short chapter. But i hope you enjoy anyway. x]

Matt woke up with scratches on his face and his whole front side soaking. He had passed out from shock. Mello left so suddenly that his brain, however smart he may be, couldn't keep up. He didn't think Mello would leave so soon, and especially not like this.

Matt decided to get inside before someone found him. He got up –a bit dizzy still- and walked in the door. He walked blankly to his room. People stared and asked questions, but he ignored them. He just kept walking.

When he got to his room he looked around at all the memories him and Mello had made in there. He sat down on his bed and stared at Mello's empty bed. Mello was never going to be there again. They would never get up early in the morning for class together again. Matt would never play video games while Mello studied furiously again. They would never… do anything at Wammy's together ever again. Those days were over. Mello was gone…

He got up and walked to the window, and looked up at the night sky. He remembered the first time he and Mello met.

It was a warm day when Matt first met Mello. Matt was almost seven, and Mello was almost 8. It had been almost sunset, and Matt was playing kick ball with a few friends he had made. It was only Matts second week at Wammy's, so he pretty much did what most of the other kids were doing.

It was Aiden's turn to kick, and boy, could he kick. Matt was playing out field and the ball went flying past him. As he went to get it, the bell rang for dinner and all the children went rushing into the building… all except one.

Matt was still getting the ball when he noticed that "one" sitting in the grass all by himself. He yelled "Hey, we're supposed to go in now," at the kid, but got no answer. He decided to get closer and tell him.

When he walked up to the kid he repeated, "Ya know, we're supposed to go in now."

This time the kid replied. "I know. But I don't wanna."

"But you have to…"

"They can't tell me what to do."

"What're you doing anyway?" Matt questioned, knowing he wouldn't get through to the other kid.

"I'm waiting for the stars to come out. They fascinate me. Hey look! There's the first one!"

Matt sat down next to the random kid, and looked up at the sky. "what's so fascinating about stars?"

"Well, it's not only the stars; it's the idea of space itself. Just knowing that we are so small compared to everything else, and that there could be people just like us on other planets looking at the same stars we are looking at right now… it feels… so cool, ya know?" The kid said, explaining it in a way that was way more advanced than he looked.

"Who are you, anyway?" Matt asked, taken aback by his explanation.

"I'm Mello, the one and only. And you are…?"

Oh, Matt had heard of this kid around the House. He was second, next to Near. No one ever said anything good about him, though. They said he had anger issues and had no friends. Matt didn't see it. "I'm Matt."

"Oh, you're that new kid, huh? Well it was nice meeting you, now run along and go have your normal life with your normal friends and let me be." Mello said, already knowing from experience how people reacted around him.

"But I don't wanna. They're boring, not like you."

"Really?"

"Yep. I never had any normal friends anyway." Matt said smiling at Mello.

"I think we're ganna be good friends." Mello said, smiling back.

Matt was on the verge of tear by now. He walked over to his bed, lay down for the rest of the night.
