Bullworth Academy was shockingly peaceful at night. The obnoxious students were asleep as well as the teachers. Nothing could touch Petey. Except the events that had happened before this peaceful night.

He and Jimmy had been arguing. Jimmy was convinced that nobody cared about him and that he'd be better off dead. Petey tried to tell him otherwise. The whole event began to slowly replay as Petey shut his eyes.

"Petey, face it: NOBODY likes me. Everybody would be better off without me".

"No they won't! People actually care about you!".

"Like who, then?".

"How about Russell? Pinky? ME?!".

"Tch, Pete. Russell doesn't even remember half of the shit that ever happens. Pinky probably wants me dead ever since she had that miscarriage. And you.....you KNOW you don't need me".

"HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT I DO AND DO NOT NEED, JIMMY?!".

"I know you don't need me, Petey!".

"God DAMNIT, Jimmy! I love you and I need you to survive!".

"I love you too, Petey. But I'm only holding you back!".

"From WHAT?".

"FROM LIVING, YOU STUPID LITTLE FUCK!!".

"....................".

"I-I'm so sorry.........I'm....I'm going to go now......I love you...".

Petey's eyes welled up as this memory replayed. He was so angry at Jimmy......he wanted Jimmy to know that he loved him. But Jimmy was so angry at Petey.......just because Peter loved him. He knew Jimmy probably needed his space at the moment...he just hoped that he would see him again tomorrow.

Suddenly, deep into his thoughts.....he heard his voice. "Hey, Pete". The boy rapidly turned around. "Jimmy!".

Kowalski ran over to Jimmy and stopped right in front of him. He noticed cuts on his arms......but they formed words. But why? "Jimmy.....have you been cutting yourself?".

Jimmy held up his arms and examined them. Death's messages remained scars. "Well...not me. But somebody has been". Petey looked confused.

"But that doesn't matter right now, Petey. I came here to tell you.....that I'm sorry". "I'm sorry too, Jimmy and-". Petey stopped himself whenever he noticed tears flowing down Jimmy's face. Jimmy NEVER cried.

Is he.....crying?

Jimmy turned to the side of the boy's room. "I see you're listening to your new CD....is it good?". Petey turned to see his radio (a song was playing faintly). "Yeah....it's good. But enough about that....why're you crying?".

Jimmy faced his lover again. "Because I made a terrible mistake...". Petey tried to put his hand on his shoulder, but the boy shrugged away from him. "I'm afraid you can't touch me, Petey....".

"Why? What did you do, Jimmy?". Jimmy let out a sob and replied with, "I killed myself, Peter......I'm not really here right now.....I'm just a goddamn ghost paying you a visit...". Petey's eyes widened.

Is he for real?

Petey didn't know whether to believe Jimmy or worry about him. "Jimmy......are you....on drugs?". Jimmy shook his head no. "B-because....I-I can get you a therapist, Jimmy. I'll take care of you....we can work through this...".

"THERE'S NOTHING TO TREAT, PETEY. I'M DEAD!!". Petey began to cry. "You....you can't be....". "I AM!!! I KILLED MY GOOD FOR NOTHING ASS BY JUMPING OFF A MOTHER FUCKING BUILDING!........I left everything I knew and loved behind.........it's all my fault....".

The rest of his words came out as loud sobs as he quickly wrapped his arms around the smaller boy. "I.....I can't believe I did this to you......to Russell......to Pinky....To Johnny and Peanut....To their daughter.....to myself...". Just before Peter could ask how the two greasers could have a daughter, Jimmy continued on. "Tell them all that I'm sorry...please?".

Petey nodded. Suddenly the song on his CD switched onto Gunslinger by Avenged Sevenfold. "I love you...Petey.....and I always will.....I want you to find somebody better than me.....somebody that won't pussy out.....somebody who won't leave you on Earth alone......". Jimmy was glad he remembered this from hearing Johnny's rant about him dying (the greaser may be an oblivious idiot at times, but he knew these kind of things well).

"I love you too, Jimmy and I-......Jimmy....I can feel you...!". It was true. Petey could feel the warmth of Jimmy's Hopkins' arms wrapped lovingly around him. Jimmy noticed this and he pulled back just a bit so he could face the boy.

Silence. The two boys just stared deep into each other's eyes. Finally, the two closed in for a romantic kiss. Ironically enough, the song playing seemed to fit the moment perfectly.

"I've always been true

I've waited so long just to come hold you

I'm making it through

It's been far too long, we've proven our

love over time's so strong, in all that we do

The stars in the night, they lend me their light

to bring me closer to heaven with you"

As the kiss broke, Jimmy began to slowly rise up, evaporating into the night sky above Petey's window. He keep his hands connected to Peter through this evaporation. Soon enough, he was gone and Petey was left to wonder if he'd ever see his one true love ever again. All that was left to do was just to face the music.

"I reach towards the sky I've said my good-byes

My heart's always with you now

I won't question why so many have died

My prayers have made it through yeah

Cause with all these things we do

It don't matter when I'm coming home to you"
