STABBEDA fanfiction ONE-SHOT by KawaiiYamato
Things would never be the same again…Her laugh, her smile, and her very presence…It was all gone…
13 years of life… of sweet kindness and compassion…. And what did the world give her in return?
Let her die.
13 yrs old Nolo Passaro was sick of it. Tone had run out that day after he saw her limp body on the hospital bed.
How could things ever be the same again?
You make me sick! He screamed in his head. No not Nola… never Nola… He meant the world itself… because the failed…
They failed her!
And he was angry… angry that the world could be so cruel… to someone who wanted to do nothing but protect it.
Tone?
No, asking him for help was cruel… he couldn't take it himself then how on earth could he help his broken brother? He was still in bed, being comforted by Karma…
13 years… 13 years of perfection and he'd lost it… he couldn't blame her… he couldn't take it…
Why her? Only her… so many cruel and horrible people in the world… and who dies? Her. All she wanted was to live in peace… She wasn't Christ… she didn't come here to die for other's sins… No… it wasn't fair…
6 months.
6 months had passed since she'd been taken away…
But it was still fresh in his mind…
She'd… wanted to go buy cake for Tone's birthday party and Kurt… he'd said to be careful… but she wasn't… and…
He lost all control over the way his thoughts went.
Damn him!
Why did he have to be racing at that damn moment?
All Greasers Are stupid!
S-T-U-P-I-D!
He had to throw that knife at that damn moment!
She never did anything wrong!
If only they weren't so drunk!
She wanted to help people!
She wanted to be a doctor!
She wanted to be a doctor…
He threw his English textbook on the ground. He couldn't believe his teachers…
School.
Who gives a hell's damn about school?
Then his homework caught his attention, he had to write anything, just a page of anything… on the most important person in his life.
He grabbed the pen and began to write:
STABBED
"Stabbed"
You would never deserve what you got
But in this cruel world
Deserving matters not
You should've lived
I should've suffered
You should not have been hurt
Your brother tried to save you
He's only human
No one should ever see
His sister broken
I remember you
You were my sister
My other half'
"You know who I am"
You said
"You know who I am"
Your face was masked
But you were smiling
As you always did
I wish I did know who you were
More than a mask
More than a face
More than dark visions;
Blood stained body
Lying lifeless on the floor
STABBED
And you were gone
Your soul departed
Your body irreparably damaged
Gone forever
STABBED
"Come back"
Your brother's call
To the distant heavens
"Bring her back to us
No one answers
Our pleas are silenced
We are left alone
STABBED
The paper was taken from his hand.
He looked up to see Tone, half gone, standing there. It was a miracle she had gotten him out of bed. Karma kissed their cheeks, tears down her face and walked out, giving then time alone.
I thought I lost you to! I thought you were gone too… He wanted to scream at his elder brother.
But when the elder man grabbed him and pulled him close in a embrace… Tone whispered as if he's read Nolo's mind, "You won't lose me again… I'll never leave you…I'll be there for you… till the end of time…"

6 years later, the members of the TEKU stood by Tone's grave on the 3rd year anniversary of his passing as they paid respects. As he remembered those words from 6 years ago and his eyes showed all the emotions.
You lied to me! You promised that you'd be there for me till the end of time! But you're gone too…And I'm all alone.
"No…"
He hadn't realized he'd said that out loud. He looked beside him to the owner of that voice.
Lani held his hand and said again, more firmly. "No."
"You'll always have someone"
I thought so too Lani… when I had Nola… and Tone…"Not anymore." He replied, his voice wavering.
"Yes you do… " She warmed his cold lips, capturing them wit hers.
"You have me."
In the heavens above, a brother and his baby sister smiled at each other.
