Love Struck
Chapter 21 - Brotherly Love
Ghost's POV
"Click!"
My head was connected to Shadow's as he held the gun against his chin.
We both breathed heavily into each others eyes.
"Click! Click! Click!"
I slowly raised my left hand and rested it on the gun's barrel and began to take it away from his chin.
I never took my eyes from his as I brought his hand closer to my chest.
Shadow began to cry letting his tears slowly roll down his body as his fingers gently slipped from the gun.
"I'm sorry." He cried out to me as I let a tear roll down my face.
He let the gun go and rested his hand at his side.
I slowly brought the gun to my side and let it slip from my fingers and hit the cold concrete floor between us.
"I'm so sorry." Cried Shadow as our heads were brought closer together.
"Shhhhhhhhhh." I whispered to him as I wrapped my arms around his cold body.
Shadow slowly raised up his arms and wrapped them around my waist. I didn't care I knew he was worn out.
"I'm so sorry Ghost." Apologized Shadow through his tears.
Shadow rested his head on my shoulder and I brought my chin so that it was on his neck.
"It's ok Shadow. I know." I stated softly into his back quills.
More tears came out from under my eye lids and began to roll onto his back.
"I didn't know what to do." Stated Shadow quietly.
"I know Shadow, I know." I replied.
Shadow began to slowly fall down. I lowered my body with his as our knees touched the floor.
We disconnected our grip and gently I laid Shadow on his back.
He rested his head down softly as tears filled his eyes.
We stared at each other as it began to rain heavily above us.
Both our quills began to fall down at the pressure of the water rolling down our bodies.
"Ghost." Shadow whispered softly at me.
I followed his eyes as he looked at his pocket.
"It was my fault this happened." Stated Shadow.
I slowly reached for his pocket and reached inside to pull out a small plastic bag.
I rested it between both my palms as I noticed the whitish color it gave off.
I slowly opened the bag and sniffed inside the bag.
I knew what it was the second it's essence hit my nose.
I immediately shut the bag and let it fall next to the gun.
"I'm so…!" I cut him off and leaned in towards his body.
I gently hugged him and he started to sniff.
"I know Shadow." I stated as we held each other tightly.
"Can you forgive me?" He asked.
I lifted my head until I was looking into his eyes.
"You're my brother Shadow, I will never regret you. Of course I forgive you." I replied with a small smile.
Shadow gently smiled and began to shut his eyes softly.
"The pain of what I did in front of Amy and Nexus was just too much brother and the drugs that I thought would make me feel better only made my life worse." Shadow stated.
"Trust me Shadow; Amy's not scared or mad at you for what you did. If anything she's grateful you did that. You saved her from being raped and you saved Nexus from near death. You're a hero in her eyes." I stated sincerely.
"Heh, I he…ro." Laughed Shadow quietly as his hand slipped from my back and onto the floor.
I quickly looked into his eyes as he shut them gently. I looked at his hand and it opened up on the wet floor underneath the rain. I immediately put my ear against his chest and to my relief he was still breathing.
I slowly retracted and put my hand in his. I gently lifted our hands onto my lap and I never took my gaze of his wet face.
I smiled gently and with ease I laid down next to his sleeping body.
I knew what he was going through and no one was there to help me through it, but I can change that for him.
I never let go of his hand, griping it tightly as I looked up into the grayish sky full of cold rain.
"I will never let you go brother." I stated.
Normal POV
The sky was cold and the rain poured down upon every living creature on Mobius, but two certain people caught the worlds gaze as they laid down besides each other as friends, as brothers. The rain kept pouring as a crack of warm sunlight opened up through the clouds focusing it's heat on top of the two hedgehogs. The sunlight moved in closer on the two sleepy hogs until it was right on top of there wet faces. Wet from the rain and wet from the tears of sadness and happiness. The angels knew these two would be friends forever and even to the angels they could not comprehend the brotherly relationship they have forge from the beginning when they fought each others differences. Between these two brothers laid a slightly open plastic bag and a pistol. The bag was being covered in rain and slowly what was left of the white powder was flowed out of the bag and down to somewhere else where it can can't cause any more problems. The pistol on the other hand rested between the two brother's legs as they slept calmly. The gun was leaking the exploded powder from the last and final gunshot. A gunshot that was meant to end the life of someone who didn't realize what he truly had in his life, but thanks to a brutal beginning the gun jammed and the bullet rested in it's chamber stuck between the metal barrel; left to be forgotten forever in the eyes of death.
I know that was really short for me and I hope everyone enjoyed how this turned out. But everyone knows me, this isn't nearly over yet. I will have the first chapter of part three out today and all of part two will be spell check for everyone. Please review and let me know what you thought.
Ps. Thank you everyone for supporting my life. I love doing this for SEGA and myself. It gives me my reason to want to live and without all of you I wouldn't know what to do. I thank you all for all the support and I love you all.
