Chapter 7: Bang

Mello opened the door. Here we go.

I took the first step with a creek of the hardwood floor, I had a bad feeling.

Suddenly a shot was heard and fired and I felt a sharp pain in the right side of my chest. But it turned into numbness as I fell to the floor. Before I hit the ground, I felt someone catch me.

"Matt!" I heard some one calling.

"M-mello..." I coughed a couple of times before looking at Mello's face. He was actually crying. For me.

"Mel...Please don't cry...n-not over me."

"Shut up! J-just don't talk okay...you won't die...no, not yet...You can't go and leave me!"

"Mello..."

My vision blurred, my life flashed before my eyes, my body turned cold, I was going to die.

"No! don't go Matt! I hate to say it but I need you..."

I heard voices in the background.

"Idiot! Near said to keep them alive!"

"Hey don't get mad at me! I didn't know who it was!"

Just then, I slowly closed my eyes and Mello saw it.

"N-no Matt! No!"

I wanted to speak my last words with Mello. Just for him.

"Mello, –cough cough- I...I..."

"Matt..."

I tried to blurt out the words before I died.

"Mello. From all the way back in the orphanage until now, I wanted to be your first friend. I'm glad I got the chance..."

"Matt." I felt Mello grab my hand and put it to the side of his face. "You were my best and first friend. Thank you for all you did...I trust you."

I smiled before my hand collapsed to the ground and the vision of Mello swayed before I closed my eyes for the last time. Game over...

"Matt!"

Mello's P.O.V

I shook Matt for a couple of seconds and realized that he was dead.

"Near..." I mumbled before getting up. "Near you bastard, this is your fault it always is!" I picked up Matt's and my gun. "And you idiots! You betrayed me then killed my best friend! For that you die!"

"Don't just stand there Skyer, kill him befo-" I started shooting every one. Everybody in sight. Kill!!! Kill them all!!! Like they killed Matt!! Kill!!!

Just then, Near opened the door. Near...

"Near!!!" I tried to fire but there were no bullets left. Damn...Damn it!!!

"Mello."

Damn it all!!!

"No!!! You killed Matt!!!" I started to become hysterical. "HAHAHA!!!NOW YOU DIE!!!DIE DAMN IT DIE!!!" I kept clicking the guns but nothing would come out.

I dropped to my knees.

He came closer.

"N-no go away! You killed Matt! Your gonna kill me too!!! I don't wanna die!! No!"

He bent down to meet face to face with me, but I wouldn't look at him.

"Mello, I just wanted to catch Kira, I didn't think anybody would die. Especially not Matt."

"M-matt..." I started to cry.

"Matt!" I put my head in Near's shirt and started to sob. "Matt...you kill...kill..."

Near pulled me into a hug while I cried on his pajama covered chest.

"I'm sorry Mello."

I wanted to say sorry doesn't bring back Matt, but no words came out. I just sat there crying until I felt dizzy and passed out.

-----

"Mello." I heard a voice.

"Mello." No, I don't want to talk.

"Mello." Ok, I gave up and my eyes fluttered open. This room..It was familiar. It was Matt's apartment. And that voice...It was...Matt's...

Matt?

I immediately sprang up and hugged the figure next to me. It was Matt!!!

"Ah! Ouch! Mel, that hurts!" I pulled back.

"I'm sorry. Its just that...I thought you were..."

I was silenced by a finger to my lips.

"Shhhh...Its Okay now Mel. I will always be at your side." Matt smiled at me and I smiled back.

Just then I woke up. For real.

It was a dream...Just a dream...So matt really is...dead.

The place I woke up to was not Matt's apartment.

It was Near's.
