A/N: Okay guys, this might be the last chapter. I'm kind of sick of this story and I want to start on new stuff, like my Harry Potter story and the Scooby Doo one. Honestly, I think this story is a huge pile of shit and shouldn't even exist on .
This chapter has a huge emotional tie with me, so please don't point out that I'm being overly dramatic. All the reactions are how I actually reacted and how my boyfriend reacted (or close to it). It was a very traumatic experience, so please don't make fun of me for it.
I just want to thank you all who have been with the story from the start. I actually haven't checked how many people actually faved this pile of shit, and I probably never will. It would either make me cry with the low numbers or give me a heart attack at the much too high number.
And with that, onward with this... whatever you call it.
HiImAPerson: My faithful follower. You always leave such kind reviews that this story really doesn't deserve. I will do my best to try to make this last chapter(s) the very best they can be, but it will only be because of you. Without you, I probably would have abandoned this a really long time ago, so thank you. I really do hope you will read some of my other stories in the future, because you certainly make me a better writer and much more motivated than I originally was for this. So, please, stick with me until my fan-fiction writing days are over, because I need you.
bittersweet-endings-2214: Thank you for your sweet words. It really makes me happy that you love this story so much, it really does (:
RozaJeantheShiningami: I really wish Light would die. I am so happy that you like this story, especially since you are a new reader to this site. I hope you find more stories on here that you really like (:
I am so grateful that I have had the amazing readers that I do for this story. I am so grateful to you guys, you are the only reason I'm even still doing this story. I am so thankful, thank you so much.
So, with a thousand thank you's, ONWARD!

"Call from, L Lawliet... Call from, L Lawliet... Call from-"
"Hello?"
"B! B, I t-totally fucking killed him! He was here one second, and-and now he's not! It's all my fault!"
"B! Calm down! What are you talking about?" I breathed in and out, trying to keep my pulse down. Had Light tried to make a rape-move on L? Did L kill Light? Fucking hell, I really hope he did.
B's hysterical sobs continued. "He just ran in the road! I didn't have time – I couldn't stop fast enough! Oh god, I killed a living thing! A thing with a soul and love and -"
I put the phone between my ear and shoulder as I slipped on some shoes, panic beginning to creep into my blood. Did he kill a child? Oh man, my Lawli really wouldn't do well in jail, especially since he would loose his mind for killing a child.
"L," I said softly. L's rant stopped dead, but his hysterical sobs continued, muffled whines joining in. "Where are you right now?"
"I-I'm by the elementary school." More whines.
"Okay, B, can you hold on? Make sure he's actually dead, and if he's not, you should call for some help okay?"
I hung up the phone before letting L get a proper chance to talk, running like a madman through my house and out my front door, not even bothering to lock it behind me. Who would steal shit from my house anyway?
The elementary school is only about a half-mile from my house, only if you take the short-cut through the trailer park. But I'm really not much of a runner. Honestly, if adrenaline hadn't been in my heart, my legs would have given out about 30 seconds in. When I was a little kid, I made this walk to my elementary school every single day, even when it was raining like hell. But, now that I was a lazy teenager who had his friends drive him everywhere, this run seemed so much longer than it actually was.
Finally, I could see L's car with it's emergency blinkers on. I didn't see any blood on the road or any dead bodies, which was a good sign. I could, however, hear Lawlipop's muffled wails and see him bend over his car, his face smushed against the driver's window.
"L!" I called as I got a few feet away from him, breathing hard and trying to rest my hands on my knees, really wishing I had some water right now.
L quickly turned his head to me, his eyes bloodshot and swollen, tears mixed with snot all over his face. He coughed a little, letting out another chocked sob. "B, h-he's really dead." L let out another wail, burring his face into his hands.
"Did you call an ambulance, or the police, or-"
"Why would an ambulance care about a fucking dead rabbit?" L nearly screeched.
"Wha-?" I looked a little down the road, seeing a small lump of brown and white fur. I walked slowly over to it and took a long look. There was no visible signs that the small rabbit had been hit, except for the blood running out of it's nose. I could see that it wasn't breathing, but I knelt on the ground anyway, leaning my head in close, trying to listen for a breath or heartbeat.
Nothing.
I sighed, standing back up and walking back over to L, who was still crying and hysterically muttering nonsense. I opened the back car door, grabbing an old grocery store bag. L wouldn't clean out his car for anything, even when Misa and I offered to do it ourselves. I walked quietly over to the ditch on the other side of Lawli's car and dug a little hole with my foot.
"W-what are you doing, B?" L asked, small whimpers still coming out of his throat.
"Burring him, since leaving him in the road wouldn't be the right thing to do," I said as casually as I could, trying not to look L in the eye. I went back over to the dead rabbit, using the grocery bag as a glove and picked up the lifeless animal. You expect dead things to be cold immediately, but he was still warm, which greatly disturbed me. I gently picked him up and quietly went back over to the shitty grave I had dug, placing the small animal in, laying the grocery bag over him like a blanket. I tried to put dirt over him, making a small mound. I found some small rocks near by, and placed them over the small mound, just to be sure that no dogs would try to dig-up the decaying rabbit.
As I patted the rocks into place, I felt L kneel really close next to me. He put his head on my shoulder, causing me to stop fidgeting with the rocks.
"I'm so sorry," I heard L whisper as his shoulders began to shake a little.
"Sorry for what?" I gently asked, putting my arm around him. My heart was racing, but now was really not the time to be caught up in romantics.
"That I killed a rabbit, that I may have orphaned little baby rabbits, that I didn't act fast enough to save him, that-"
"Shhh, it's okay L, you didn't do this on purpose."
L started crying really hard again and I just couldn't bring myself to look at his face. "I just – I just didn't know what to do! I called Light, but he told me that killing was just a – a part of life and he t-tried to make me come over to his house, so I hung up on him. T-then before I knew it, I was calling you and you were coming down – to help me and I killed it!"
"Oh Lawli," I whispered as I started to rock my best friend back and forth, trying to think of anything I could possibly do to try and make him feel better. The only thing I could think of was to sit there like a fucking dumbass and rock him back and forth, letting him cry his eyes out into dehydration.
Eventually, it could have been an hour, or maybe only a few minutes, I really don't know, L's sobs subsided. The only sounds I could hear was the blinking of L's emergency lights and a far-off police siren. I took my arm off L's shoulder and turned his head so that he could look at me.
"Are you gonna be okay, Lawli?"
L smiled a smile that didn't quite reach his swollen, tear-stained eyes. "Yeah, I think I will be. Thanks for being here for me, B."
I shrugged, trying to stifle the blush that was threatening to come to my cheeks. It was my own stupid fault that L's face was now so close to mine. Kissing L really would be a douche move right now.
"It's no big deal, L. You're my best friend, I like helping you." I smiled, trying so fucking hard to hide my embarrassment.
"Well, I appreciate you for it." L looked down at the grave again, sniffling. "You know, B? I've come to a huge realization."
I looked over at him, but he was still staring sadly at the grave, his eyes far away in his head.
He continued. "Light really doesn't care about me. I really, really wanted him too, but he just doesn't. I realized this when I called him about the rabbit and he just wanted me to come over to make out. But, you came. You didn't even hesitate. You just came to my side, and you're still here, even though it's getting dark and people driving by think we're either drunk or crazy."
L finally looked up at me, his eyebrows furrowed a little bit. His eyes seemed to hold the answers to all the problems in my world, and I knew they did. All I could do was sit there with my eyes open wide as a small breeze ruffled his hair.
"It's been right in front of me all along and I was too blinded by charming words to see it. B, I think-"
"Wait!" I said a little too loudly while grabbing L's face in my hands. Lawliet's eyes widened and his face turned red all the way to his ears. "Before you say anything, just let me say this."
L nodded, never breaking eye contact.
It's now or never, you huge fucking pussy.
"I think it started when you showed me your first pubic hair. You could trust me with the most intimate part of you, and it made me so happy. I know it sounds weird, but all I could think about was how you trusted me, and eventually all I could think about was you. I didn't want to date Misa cause I was too busy thinking about you. You are the only thing that's ever on my mind, even when you're with Light. All I want it you. I've loved you in the past, I love you right now, and I don't think I can ever stop loving you."
By now, L was blushing so hard his neck was red. I almost giggled, but that would have been so inappropriate. Lawli was just staring at me, his eyes wide. I could faintly feel his pulse under my hands, and it was beating harder than I thought a heart could beat.
L suddenly cleared his throat, blinking a lot. "W-well," Lawli began to say, his face growing redder (and I thought it was fucking impossible). "Are you gonna kiss me or pussy out?"
I laughed. Have you ever felt such a wave of relief that you gain an adrenaline rush?
I quickly brought his face closer and kissed him hard on the lips, smiling the whole damn time. I drew back after a couple of seconds, resting my forehead on his, laughing like a fucking fool. L laughed too, drawing me in for another kiss.
Who cares that it was getting really dark by then? Who cares that I could hear a coyote off in the distance, but not too far away? Who really cares that Misa will totally kill me tomorrow for kissing L right after I touched something dead? And who really gives a shit that Light will be making death wishes for me for the rest of my fucking life?
This is our moment, and nothing could ever ruin it.
[][]END[][]
A/N: Yes, it's really over.
I must say, I really wish the rest of this story could have been like that. Nicely written instead of half-assed at 1am. But, overall, I'm really happy with this ending.
Thank you all for sticking with this till the end. I might do an epilogue, I'm not really sure. I probably will, only if you beg me though~
I love you guys, and please look out for my other work. They will be much better than this, I guarantee you.
With love, appreciation, admiration and care, ~xxignoredxx.
