Chapter 5-
----------------------
--Playground school bell rings, again
Rainclouds come to play, again
Has no one told you she's not breathing?--
Joey watched in horror as Serenity jumped right out in front of him and heard a sound like something hitting flesh. He then saw Serenity plop to the dirty ground with a loud thump as he stood frozen in fear. He saw her take shaky breaths so slow and deep as he could feel tears starting to form in his eyes. The bullet had hit her instead of him... she risked her life for him and now she was going to die.
He looked towards Marik with pure hatred as Marik just stared at Serenity's body on the ground, "W-what have I... I done?"
Marik then pointed the gun towards Joey as Joey just stood there. He could hear footsteps coming from behind him and knew it was Kaiba. Joey then clenched his fists and closed his eyes waiting for the shot, but nothing came until he heard a loud 'BANG!' He waited and waited but then nothing came until he heard Kaiba say, "Christ."
Joey opened his eyes and saw Marik lying on the ground in a pool of blood, Da guy shot himself?
But then he forgot quickly about that when he heard Serenity call his name from the ground. He fell to his knees and gathered her in his arms, cradling her.
"Seren' you'll be fine, don' ya give up on me, k?"
Serenity looked up at Joey and smiled a small smile as her eyes started to blurr through tears that were falling down her face as she choked out her words, her voice hoarse, "Joey I- I truly dont... think I-I'm going to... to make it."
"No... NO! I won' le' ya die on me Ren'. You're all I have lef' now, do...don' leave me..." Joey started to sob quietly as Serenity reached her hand up slowly and touched his face, smearing it with blood.
Joey took her hand into his and closed his eyes tightly, as his tears mixed in with the blood on his face.
"I love y-you Joey a-and I alwa... always will. I p- promise you that... that I'll be watching o-over you."
"Sis' don' s-speak tha' way, you'll be fine... fine. Please, p- please don' do... please d-don' go." Joey sobbed as Serenity came up and kissed Joey on the forehead.
"Remember, I-I love you..."
Serenity then slowly closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief as her heart stopped beating, her hand becoming limp in Joey's grip.
"No, no! Seren-...ity... I l-love you too little sis..."
--Hello
I'm your mind, giving you someone to talk to
Hello--
Joey layed down Serenity's hand near her heart and started to sob uncontrollbly from the pain that was building up inside of him. He then suddenly felt someone touch his shoulder and knew it was Kaiba but didnt make a move to shove his hand away. Instead he left it and looked won towadrs the ground, the raindrops making a plopping noise against the cement and dirt.
"S-she was da... whole world t-ta me..."
Joey then looked up towards Kaiba and then was shocked when he saw Kaiba with tears filled eyes, and tears faliing down his cheeks.
"Kaiba..."
"Joey," Kaiba said quietly, using Joey's first name, keeping his voice from breaking. "Your sister was the whole world to me too..."
Joey looked at him with wide eyes, but then hugged him and to his surpise Kaiba actually allowed it.
--If I smile and dont believe
Soon I know I'll wake from this dream
Dont try to fix me I'm not broken--
Joey felt Kaiba let go of him as he held his head down again, trying to calm himself down. he then felt hands on both os hif shoulders gripping him tightly.
"It'll be ok Joey."
He then looked up to see Kaiba actually smiling as Joey only nodded his head slowly in agreement, but not actually believing Kaiba's or his own words. Kaiba then got up as Joey saw him take out his cellphone and wiping away his tears.
Kaiba cared about my sis...? Ugh... I feel so dizzy, and tired...
--Hello
I'm the lie living for you so you can't hide
Dont cry--
Joey looked over towards Kaiba as he walked over to him and sat down next to him as Kaiba looked over towards Joey who was looking down at the lifeless body of Serenity. Joey then looked up at Kaiba with a blank stare almost, like the life was sucked out of him or something.
"Joey, I've always hated people that were under me and never could meet standards like me, so I always hated you and of course I still hate you, but not for the reasons you think. I would tell everyone, but I cant. Anyway, later on the blimp I met your sister and I knew she was a lot different from you so I took the time to get information on her. After Battle City she and I became well... a thing.
Joey, with still a blank look in his eyes, kind of looked interested at what Kaiba was saying as Kaiba went on with his story, "We were afraid to tell you, so we acted like we had nothing going on between us."
Joey then heard sirens in the distance and could feel the silent tears still falling down his face as he look towards Serenity once again.He didnt feel anything anymore, nothing. She was gone and it was all his fault.
--Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Hello, I'm still here
All that's left of yesterday--
Kaiba sighed and walked away as Joey laid Serenity in his lap, brushing her hair, looking at the peaceful look on her face. She looked just like an angel, a very beautiful angel.
Joey then felt dizzy as he looked around and everything became blurry. His head hurt real bad as he put his head into her shoulder and fell to the ground realizing that he had been hit too. The bullet had went through Serenity and into him.
Dat's why Seren' died so quickly and I was in so much pain... well sis' guess I'll be seein ya up der soon enough...
Joey felt his heart beat slower and slower by the second as he closed his eyes and wrapped his arm around Serenity's waist knowing that he was close to her. Then he could feel himself give his last breath as everything went dark...and then he could see the light as his angel came into view, the angel that help him. His guardian Angel.
Good job Joey, your work is done... now come into the light and see your sister...
Joey walked into the light and saw his sister smiling at him and waving as he smiled and wiped tears of joy away from his face.
Life will be great...
