[ How much will you risk your life for someone you truly love? ]
DEMI stared at the question pinned to their bulletin board. He looked at it intently, his brows twitching, intriguing him further.
"For a box of chocolate, maybe?" He hypothesized, fingers on his chin, not caring whether someone heard it or not.
Then he heard a chuckle. It was minimally soft, but it was also soothing.
He hurriedly turned to his back to look, yet no one could be seen.
IT was just another usual day for Demi. The class just ended, but he stayed in the classroom, waiting for others to leave. While boringly waiting, he just munched on his favorite, Hershey's Chocolate. Dark, to be precise.
His mind was so busy that he didn't manage to hear the knock on the door. His friend barged in with a grin on his face. He faced Demi with gleeful eyes and asked, "Ready for adventure?"
Demi broke from his euphoric state and nodded crazily, "Hell yeah!"
THEY managed to break into a grocery store. The process wasn't difficult since they planned it out carefully, but it was still dangerous.
But what can he do? The one who requested his help was none other than the man of his dreams.
After collecting everything they needed, their business has finally ended. They were now heading to where they entered, but it was now blocked. Shit.
An alarm echoed; indication that someone had broken in.
His friend's face turned devious as he looked at the cameras above him. He dropped one of his bags and swiftly grabbed Demi's waist, carrying him on his shoulders.
Police sirens can be heard from a distance.
"We're dead," he whispered. The man gazed at him and smiled.
"Yes. But only me." Then he threw Demi away from him, together with the bag of groceries.
"Meet me in the afterlife, my love..."
He flew towards an open lot and broke his left arm, causing excruciating pain. Slowly closing his eyes.
HE opened his eyes, and he was lying in one of the hospital beds.
Someone moved to his side. It was his aunt. His aunt looked at his nephew, then smiled.
He then remembered, "Auntie, how's Seb-"
"Sebastian's dead, Demi. He's the one who caused you this." Cutting him off.
He couldn't believe what he just heard, but her aunt continued to reprimand him, yet no words entered his ears.
His aunt left him a bag and then left. Demi reached for it and found a journal. It was Sebastian's.
Upon reading, tears fell from his eyes like a river flowing wildly. It was all about him. Their memories, their moments.
A line caught his attention. It was from yesterday, November 16th.
⸢ I know I'll be gone tomorrow, so I'll promise you your favorites. I wish you to be happy, Demi. Let's meet again in the afterlife. I love you, goodbye. ⸥
⸢ I'll risk my life even for a box of chocolates... I'll risk my life for you... ⸥
