A/N: To anyone who was confused about the ending of the last chapter, yes, Sora did kill himself, which is why this chapter is in Riku's P.O.V. This is the last chapter, so enjoy and review kindly!

"I'll be back in a little while, Mom!" I yell as I open the front door.

Mom stops me, "Where are you going, Riku?"

"Sora wants me to come over. I'll be home soon." I reply, heading out the door.

"Be careful!" she yells after me.

I smile softly, rolling my eyes, "It's just down the street, Mom!"

The sky was dark, very dark. A storm is coming, a big one at that. I frown, my mind swirling. Finally I make it to Sora's, and the first thing I notice is that his Mom's car isn't in the driveway. Where did she go? I try the door, and it's unlocked. I go inside and the lights are off. "Sora?" I call. I don't get an answer. Maybe he's still asleep. He never was really good with time management.

I head for his room, frowning as I realize there's glass everywhere, and the pictures are on the floor. That explains that. Someone had a fit, probably his mother. I get to his room, dodging glass. His door is locked when I try to open it. I frown, "Sora? You awake yet? You wanted me to come over, remember? Sora?" There's still no answer so I fish a paperclip from my jacket pocket. I really need to clean out my pockets..

I use the paperclip to unlock his door and I open it slowly, "Sora?"

At first glance, it seems like he's asleep, but with a closer look, I can see his eyes are open, and dulled so much they're almost completely gray. I instantly run over to him, my feet kicking an empty bottle of pills under his bed, "Sora!"

He's just laying there, staring at the ceiling, but no longer seeing. I look around, finding two more pills by my feet, along with a half empty water bottle turned on its side. I look back at my best friend's face. He's so pale.. How did I not notice how pale he'd been getting? I noticed a little, but not enough. I didn't notice anything enough.

"Sora.." I whisper, Why am I whispering? It's not like anyone's around to hear me. I gasp, "That was the point of having me come over now. He knew no one was around. He wanted... He wanted..."

I could feel it building, I was going to cry, wanted to cry; but nothing came. I hadn't cried since I kissed Sora. I still have no idea if what I did was stupid to him, it probably was.

"He wanted me to be the one to find him." I glare down at him, How could he do this to me? Make me the one to find him? He's so selfish. I could have helped him! He wanted to do everything on his own, he wanted to end it on his own. I wanted him to live, wanted him to enjoy life, but he didn't care. "Why are you so selfish?!" I screamed at him, "Why?!"

I wanted so badly to cry, but I still couldn't. What's wrong with me? I find my best friend dead, and I can't cry for him? I frown at him, the anger still swelling inside me, but I can't do anything. What's done is done. I can't bring him back. I sigh and close his eyes, then I sink down and sit beside his bed, staring at the two pill bottle by my feet. Three damn bottles of pills, and he took them all.

"I'm sorry I couldn't save you." I breathe, leaning my head back against his bed. I frown closing my eyes. I should report his suicide, but I don't want to. Not yet. But if I don't, Mom will know something's up. I left an hour ago, if I don't report it soon, she'll know I hid it, even for an hour or so. Or she'll think I did something stupid, like kill him. That woman's mind is off the cliff sometimes.

I sigh and open my eyes, pulling my phone from my jacket pocket. Without even thinking, I go to my messages and stare at the last message Sora sent me. "Come over tomorrow morning. No later, no earlier. Okay?" I sigh, He did this on purpose... I exit the messages and dial 911 and wait.

"Hello, Destiny Island City Police. What is the state of your emergency?" a female voice asks.

"I just came over to my friend's house. I found him... He's... Dead. I found empty pill bottle on the floor. I think he killed himself." I respond, It's all my fault, I couldn't save him.

"I see. Have you touched the body?" she asks.

That's all he is now, just a body... "Yeah. I... I closed his eyes.."

"That's fine. What's the address?" she continues to ask.

"365 West Avenue." I state.

"Thank you, we'll be there soon. Try not to touch anything else." she hangs up.

I sigh and put my phone back up. It didn't take long for the sirens and lights to make their appearance. After answering a lot of questions about Sora, and how I know him, and how he's been acting lately, they take Sora away. I was surprised that they let me ride along with them. The ride was silent. I didn't feel like talking anyway. I just found my best friend, dead. They way he planned it. You're so selfish, Sora. So selfish...

Sora's funeral was the next day. Surprise, surprise, Sora's Mom has gone missing. A lot of people were here, and that surprised me. I didn't think half of these people knew Sora. I see a few kids from school, some teachers. Even a few people I didn't know. Maybe his family? I notice Kairi and her father are here. She's crying, like I knew she would, while her Dad tries to comfort her.

My Mom is here with me, Dad is working, and my brothers didn't really see the point in going. They're older than I am, and they don't know Sora. Not that I cared. I didn't want them here anyway, they'd probably fall asleep or something. The preacher was talking about how good Sora was, and how his soul is at peace, and all sorts of blah, blah, blah I don't care about. I'm not religious, never have been.

I frown, How can I call myself his best friend, when I haven't shed a single tear for his agony? Once the service is over and Sora's been buried and everyone's leaving, I ask Mom to wait for me. She nods and walks off towards the car. I take in a shaky breath, turning towards the headstone with Sora's name engraved in it. I look down at the dedication: "In loving memory of Sora Stone, we love and miss you always. We'll see you in heaven someday."

"Sora, what's it like...?" I mutter, turning my gaze towards the sky, the storm still threatening, "Do you feel pain and loneliness? Are you happy? Is your dad there, taking care of you?"

I had to confess, if I didn't, I felt like I'd explode, "I'm sorry, Sora. Forgive me.. I tried so hard to save you.. I couldn't change your mind, and now I've lost you forever... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.. I've failed you..."

I felt like I'd cry, and still so badly wanted to. The tears still wouldn't come. Why can't I cry for him?!

"Forgive me, Sora. I never told you this, and I really should have. Maybe even that day when I kissed you. I know it's too late for this, but..." I sigh, taking another shaky breath, Here goes..

"I love you."

"Riku! Come on, it's starting to rain!" Mom calls.

I touch the stone one more time, "I'll miss you." Then I turn and run for the car as the downpour begins.
