It All Began From The End

"Second chances always come with the pain of losing the first one." Death. It's a dangerous thing to play with but what if someone else's revenge, someone else's anger leads you to lead a life bound by the sixth Dimension of this Universe... Death. "It hurts." I whispered as Lee's hold on me tightened. "I know." And suddenly the task of finding my murderer didn't look so tough, death didn't look so painful. Sometimes a person is enough to reduce the fakeness of your smile and in my case I got more than one. A lover, a best friend. A brother. A family. I just hope we stick together as I parade through the storm. The rain in the form of tears. The lightening in the form of my need to avenge my death, the want to find my murderer. The wind in the form of blows life throws my away. And the peace in the form of love. Of friendship. "Yes." Lee said as I furrowed my eyebrows. "For what?" "Remember when you asked if everything is going to be fine?" "Yes." I whispered back. "For what?" "Remember when you asked me out?" "I actually didn't." He chuckled as I let out an impatient breath. "So what are you waiting for?"
