Yay, 6th chapter! Moulin, you and Pantera need to keep up the cheering! This is really workin! 6 is the farthest I've gotten in a story! Yay again! Oh, and this'll sound weird, buuuut...I like to read own stories. I don't know why, I just do. So sue me! Well, on with the tale...

Bobby lay in the bed inside of Oddity. He listened to "Seasons." No, he was blasting it. Kenneth walked by the store and looked in at him. He grinned. "What?"

"Could you turn that down?"
"Ummmmmm...no."
Kenneth shook his head.
"Hey, wait, I reconize this song!"
"You do?"
Kenneth nodded. He looked serious. Then again, he could be pretending...
"My wife used to love this song! She would bug me to play it! It was her favorite!"

The two chatted about punk music and the liking until Benji walked in. "You guys hungry? 'Caus if ya are then ya might wanna come and get some food now. But there isn't any meat. I don't cook meat. I'm vegetarian." He grumbled, scratching his neck.

"That's cool with me, I'm vegatarian too." Bobby said. "As long as there's no tofu I'm good." Kenneth said. Benji chuckled. "No, just some pankakes I made from scratch. Minus the eggs. And we have fruit and cerel."
"Good."

Benji laughed and walked off. Bobby and Kenneth headed towords the food, still talking about music. Benji headed another way. Bobby and Kenneth didn't notice, and kept walking.

Benji walked right past the store Joel was sleeping in. Joel stumbled out and saw his brother headed towords the roof. Joel followed. Benji reached the roof and stood on the edge. Joel walked up to his brother. He grabbed Benji's arm and...

"What's wrong?" Joel asked his brother. Benji smiled sadly and shook his head. "No-nothing. I...I just can't do this. Not now. Not anymore..." Benji turned back to the sea of dead. All of a sudden it clicked in Joel's head. He was gonna jump! "Benji don't! Please don't!" Joel begged. "Why not?" Benji snapped. He didn't turn back to face Benji. He didn't want to. He RUFUSED to. "Please..." Joel whispered. He was petrified now. "Give me one good reason not to jump?" Benji half yelled, whipping aroud to face his brother. "Give me one reason to care!"

Joel let out a small sob. He stepped back from his suicidal twin. Benji saw this. He saw his scared younger brother. He saw the tears streaming profoundly down his face. Benji bit his lip. It all clicked together in his head. Joel. HE was the reason he needed to not jump. Joel was still alive...

Benji stepped down from the ledge. He walked to Joel and wrapped his arms around his younger twin. "You can't jump! Even if we're stuck here! It's not...It's not worth..." Joel hiccupped. He buried his head into Benji's chest, tears smrearing up his eye make-up.

"I...Joel...don't..." Benji couln't find the words of comfort he knew his brother so despretly needed.He just couldn't.

"Joel. Joel, look at me." Benji said, gripping Joel's chin and making his brother look at him. "I didn't mean to...You know I'm stupid at times...I know don't deserve to a brother like you...but...you need to be strong, okay? You know I won't always be around toprotect youand...you need to know that..."Benji now had tears running down his cheeks. Joel again buried his head into Benji's chest, tears still coming down. "I know..."

It took Benji a while but eventually he got Joel to calm down. They stayed on the roof a while but after about an hour they went down. "Where have you guys been?" Billy asked as soon as he saw them. Benji shook his head as Joel walked off. "Later," he mouthed and went in the opposite direction.

Billy was left to wonder as he went back into Hot Topic.
