And so now, Sera sits on the steps of an abandonned apartment complex. It is barren and dark, cold, and murky. Sera closes his eyes and pushes away the memory of Kathern and everyone else. Shortly after going back to school, he heard from a very good friend of his online (who happened to be a girl) and who Sera actually liked a little, on instant messenger. She began talking about a party she went to (with a good attitude and no shame) and started talking about how awesome all these guys were in bed. He has asked her if she did 'it' often. She replied with a 'photo share' where she posted twenty pictures of different boys in their fifteens, seventeens, and even twenties and higher. She was only 15 and a half. That was the thing with Sera... he hated more than anything in the world to hear girls talk about their sex-life to him, esspesialy if he happens to like her. This enfuriated him and led him on a rage, where he lost control and because all that happened, had amental break-down a day later. After that and his slow re-habilitaion, he returned home and began thinking about god. One week later he did a Satanic rite-of-passage ritual and everything went to hell. After the ritual, the air was always heavier, the breeze always colder, and the shadows, much much more dementing. He didn't sleep right for days after that, always kept awake by fear and deep paranioa. Sera was a mess. No one at ALL loved him anymore, save the people who had to, his family. Sera's life was miserable, no more joy in life, no more fun, no more laughing with his friends, no more friends, no more love... ever... Everywhere Sera went, people looked at him strange and his own mother put him in a mental hospital for a few weeks until he proved he was entirely sane. Sera now spent his days after tourturous hours of school sitting at this lonely street corner, watching cars drive by and thinking about all that happened. Sometimes, a girl (gothic is fasion like him) would walk by and nod hello. He once tried asking her name, but she simply looked at him like he was crazy and walked off. Sera sat there, flipped open his lighter and looked at it before flipping it closed. He first heard the car when it was about a wuarter of a mile away. It was obvious there were jocks in it, the group at school who beat him up and taunted him after school. He could tell they were drunk, but something was different... He looked towards the car and saw the 1989 corvete filled with four boys around his age in orange jackets and jeans. And then he saw the gun. One of the boys in the back was waving it around and fired a shot 20 meters from Sera. He knew this was bad so, he got up prontly and pulled him jacket over his cheast, crossing his arms to keep it from falling open (the people at the hospital told him he did it because he was insecure). He started walking in the oppasite direction of the cars direction for a few seconds. He made it past them and felt relif, but then, he heard one of them shout his name. Sera stopped and slowly turned around to meet the eyes of a boy in the back of the car, which had stopped. Y-yeah? He said quickly to hide his fear. "Yoour the kid hoo tried to kill himselff, riggh? He said in an almost red-neck like accent. Some would say that yes... he looked at the pistol the boy in the front had handing out the window. The boy who was talking to him looked clumsily at what Sera was looking at and grabbed it, looking back at Sera. "Soh you liek ghuns eh?" He pointed the gun at Sera and smiled, laughing with his friends. Sera's eyes widened and he lets his arms drop. He couldn't move his mouth to talk. He was paralized with fear. Then, it happened... The boy sitting next to the one who had the gun suddenly covered his nose and let out a loud sneeze. The boy with the gun flinched and Sera heard the gun go off with a flash of light. The boys in the car widened their eyes and fell wuiet. One of them looked at Sera's ankles and looked at his buddies, chattering quietly. One of them spoke loud enough for Sera to hear to the driver of the car to go quickly and the car took off. He saw two of them laugh at something one of them said as they drove off. Sera let out a sigh of relif and pulled his jacket back over him, but it felt different. He looked down at it and saw what the boys drove off for. Down past his cheast, at his feet, was his body. It had a very bloody hole at the cheast leaving a large dark-red stain around his beloved jacket and his eyes (he was looking into his own eyes!), were blank and dead. Sera then kew, that he was dead and looking at his body.
