A Single White Rose 2: The Death
It's been nearly two years since Anthony's near death experience. Anthony's back to his old self, mostly. You can just barely tell anything ever happened to him!
His body never did get back to full strength and never will, completely. The one with black hair and shining blue eyes had to learn how to do everything over again. He learned to drive the fastest. But, problem is, he eats more now then he did before the crash, and he had a very healthy appetite before that!
Matt and Anthony had gotten much closer since the crash. Anthony loved life and had conquered death that time anyway.
Anthony had a great life he's gotten married seven months after he'd graduated. His wife was pregnant with twins, he was overjoyed, he loved the idea of having kids!
One day Matt had talked Anthony into going to a party with him. Anthony had refused to go until Monica told him to go with Matt. Only then did Anthony agree to it. So, let's start off at the party, shall we?
Anthony picks up a can and looks at it disgusted. "Matt." The one with black hair says tossing the can to Matt. "What's this look like to you?"
Matt stared at it with disbelief.
"Yeah!" Anthony said with wide eyes and nodding fiercely. "Beer. You didn't tell me there was drinking at this party!"
"I…" Matt stuttered, "I didn't know, honest!"
Anthony sighed, "Yeah, let's just go home. Someone prob`ly spiked the punch. I don't know what could happen to my body if I drank any kind of alcohol."
"Yeah." Matt agreed, "Let's go. Roma would kill me for being at a party with drinking, and, if Mom found out I brought you…"
"Matt, I don't even want to think about that. Besides, like I said, I still don't know what my body's capable of. It's been two years and I still don't know! Sorry for about talking about my problems, let's see, yours… Roma, Mom, aaaa… You're an astronaut; there's a big problem. Umm... Let me see, I can't think of anymore…"
"Ok, Ok, I get the idea. Come on squirt." Matt sat the can down.
"Hey! I'm only an inch shorter then you!"
The two brothers started outside. "But you're still shorter!"
"Yeah… Well…"
"Well, what squirt?" Matt asked taking out the keys to his car.
Anthony's eyes brightened with the familiar jingle of the keys. "Matt, can I drive? Please don't say no just because of the stupid crash. I learned to drive faster then anything! Please! Besides, that happened two years ago and not being able to drive and hearing about not being able to is making me about to pull my hair out!"
"That stupid crash nearly killed you. But… I will let you drive. Here ya go squirt." Matt reminded Anthony.
"I'm not ganna dignify that with a reply. Keys please. " Anthony held out his hand.
Matt chuckled handing Anthony the keys. "Have fun."
Anthony's eyes got brighter. "Oh, I will. And, I'll be careful, promise." Excitement swam through Anthony's veins. Matt had never let him drive his car before! Now, it's his turn at the wheel.
"I'm not so sure about you being careful little brother."
"Why, Matt," Anthony acted with a grin. "I'm insulated. How could you ever say that?"
"Simple, I know you." Matt answered.
The two got in the car. "Oh, yeah," Anthony remembered, "That's right, isn't it?"
Matt nodded and laughed as Anthony turned on the car.
As they were pulling out a man came staggering out. Obviously drunk. The guy got in a car and started following them.
After a little while the drunk passed them. He bumped the car the two men were in.
"Damn drunks." Matt muttered under his breath. "Don't they know they could kill someone?"
"Prob`ly don't care." Anthony answered though he knew he wasn't supposed to.
Matt smiled. "Prob`ly not."
Matt looked at his little brother. Hard to believe what had happened 2 years ago today. Wait, today was also when Anthony had started to disrespect Matt. Though many years ago, it's true. Today, when Anthony was 8 Matt had told him for the first time that he hated him and wished he'd die.
(Flashback) "Matt." A little boy of 8 with black hair and bright blue eyes said, "You know, it was kind of funny watching you run from the lawn mower."
"Oh, yeah? So, I wasn't waving from it like a flag. You were." A blond of 10 with blue eyes told the younger.
"Yeah, but, you had to run from it. I was safe."
Matt glared at the little boy. The 10-year-old couldn't hold in his anger. He threw a punch at his little brother causing a fight.
When the fight was over, the 10-year-old was sitting on the black haired one. (10-year-old vs. 8-year-old, how fair is that?)
"Matt!" The 8-year-old yelled. "Get off! You weigh more then me and I'm suffocating!"
"Then take back what you said."
"Why? It's true, it was funny watching you run from the lawn mower."
"So? Take it back or I won't get off."
"Fine. I'll get you off another way."
"How?"
"MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The little boy yelled.
"You little…"
"Watch it Matt. Mom's coming."
"Anthony, I hate you and I wish you'd die!" The blond boy told him.
"So? You should have got up when I told you to."
(End flashback)
From worst enemies to best friends. "Anthony." Matt said.
"Yeah?"
"You know you always were my friend and I always loved you, right?"
Anthony nodded. "Yeah, I know."
"You were also my enemy."
"Yeah, so?"
"Just…" Matt's eyes grew wide. "Watch out!!!!!"
Anthony looked out his window. A car was coming at them. It was the car that had been following them earlier. How could he have gotten here?!
Anthony didn't have enough time to swerve or stop and he knew it. He could merely get hit.
The car hit Anthony's side and the car the two men were in went spinning around.
Another car came into view and Anthony's side smashed into it. The car stopped spinning.
Matt was in shock but wasn't really hurt, just in shock. He looked back at his little brother.
Anthony had hit the windshield and his head was bleeding a little.
Matt put his arms around Anthony and gently pulled the younger one over to him. "Anthony, are you Ok? Oh, be alive. That's all I'm asking. Be alive."
Anthony smiled. It was a weak smile, but it was still an original Anthony smile. "Yeah. I'm… fine." His words were weak. "Are you Ok?"
Matt hugged him up and nodded. "Yeah. I'm fine. You're gonna be all right to. Everything's gonna be all right. Promise."
Anthony nodded. His eyes were bright and partly glazed. I'm not worried. You shouldn't be either."
Matt lied his head on Anthony's chest. "I'm not." Matt listened to Anthony's heartbeat. It was getting slower. Matt looked at Anthony's face and pulled Anthony's head to his chest and cradled him.
Anthony was closing his eyes.
"No Anthony." Matt gently said. "Don't close your eyes. Please don't."
Anthony gave him a weak smile that said, "I'll try."
"Where's that stupid phone?" Matt asked himself. "No, Anthony, don't close your eyes."
Matt opened the glove department. There was the cell phone. Matt picked it up and dialed 911. (I don't know another number to get help, so, just bare with me pweaze!) "Anthony, don't close your eyes." He quietly said.
"Hello, 911." Came the voice of the dispatcher.
"Hello. I need help." Matt was trying to stay calm. "My brother and me was in a crash. My brother got hit twice. I'm not sure how long I can keep him awake."
"Where are you?"
Matt went ahead talking and trying to keep Anthony awake.
When the ambulance got there Matt still hadn't let Anthony close his eyes. Anthony understood why, but he so badly wanted to. Anthony smiled and talked very little, but he still did.
"How…" Anthony tired. "Are the other people O…k?" It was very weak, and dumb to ask when you're in such a bad condition to ask about other people, but Anthony isn't known for being smart.
One of the paramedics said, "You shouldn't talk."
"I'll talk as much… as I want. How are they?"
"One person died. The other people are just fine, a little shocked but, fine."
"Who died?" Matt asked.
"A drunk. Now, we have to get you to the hospital. Ok?"
Anthony nodded.
The paramedics loaded the two in the ambulance. Anthony blinked and tried to stay awake. Matt keep trying to keep him awake until the paramedics moved him aside.
*I've got to stay awake. * Anthony thought. *For Matt's sake, for Monica, for the twins, for everyone else. * Anthony kept trying. *No use. My body can only endure so much. Two crashes is the limit."
When they got to the hospital Anthony could hold his eyes open no longer. He thought of the first crash, the white rose Matt had gotten him. Then he closed his eyes, for the last time.
"How could you Anthony?" Everyone asked themselves at the burial. "How could you die? We still needed you. Especially Matt and Monica."
Out of everyone there Matt and Monica were effected the most.
The two looked down at the young man. Matt rubbed Monica's back. Through tears he tried to hold back he told his brother's wife, "Don't worry. You know he wouldn't want us to cry, or be sad. Look at it this way, he's out of his misery. He has no pain now. If he was alive he'd have a lot of pain, you know that, right?"
"I… know. But, he was my husband and I loved him, and I can't stop."
"I know. Your love won't end and he knows you love him. But, he was my best friend and worst enemy."
The end
