Hope Loving Son

Hope

Hope, hope that things will change,
Hope his marriage will bring less pain,
Hope his husband will come home tonight but thats not... Hope is an empty promise that will never be full. Almost like his marriage. For three months their marriage was on edge of  Destruction. Elijah may have money, a house, nice cars, a high class career. What more do you want from husband?

Nicolas
A cheater
A jerk
A liar
And a player...

"No! No, you can't say that about your husband. You love him, at least, you're suppose to." Elijah tell himself every time he has doubts.

"Does the good outweigh the bad" says a demon named Origami asked. Elijah asked "who are you and what are you doing here demon?" Origami smiles "look the next Edger Allen Poe, I honestly don't give a bitch's shit about you but I'm here to asked you a question. Does the good Outweigh the bad?" Elijah paused for a moment...

"I don't know.."

Demon smiles even more to make him appear as a monster but change to expression of a grieving father.... the words of his son appears in his head..

"for example If I were to disappear what would you say..
And what If I want to disappear..
What would you do.... Father......
.. I was afraid of that answer."

Origami snapped out of his....

"For example What if Something bad happens to your husband But something good happens to you. Does the good outweigh the bad?

Elijah "..."

"You know what I'll give you a day To answer."

Elijah "wait!"

The thunder hit faster than his words can flow out like a river.

Ring
ring
ring
ring
ring
ring

  Elijah picked up the phone fast

  Yes
What
Is he OK
Oh my God I'll be there right away

Elijah grabbed his coat and rushed to the hospital.

When he got there.

He sat right next to his husband

And waited it until he woke up

His husband did woke up But something was different

Nicholas
was nicer
Compassionate
Calming
Welcoming

He touched the Elijah head to wake him up.

The way he talked was like a poem, It was like they're dating again.

Everywhere word was like a lyric to a love song, That was like their wedding vows

His hands they weren't cold as ice,  They were as warm as hugs.

"Hey my love..
what's wrong?
You look like you saw a ghost.
What happened to you."

It was like the last 3 months were erased from Nicholas's memory.

All the cheating
All the lies
All the heartbreak
All the nights Elijah had to lay in bed by himself

All gone

It's just Nicholas

His real Nicholas

  The Nicholas he started dating because he was different

The Nicholas he proposed to

The Nicholas that walk down the aisle with him

The real Nicholas he fell in love with

Elijah walk out the Room to get Nicholas a soda... "So does the good outweigh the bad?"

Elijah was scared to respond.
But fuck it if he was gonna die at least he dies happy.

"Yes, yes it does."

Origami smiled

"And that is all I need to know. Enjoy your life, because There are people who will give up everything To be in your place."

Origami disappeared

Origami responds into a different house....

his house...

With a picture of his son on a wooden table right next to fireplace.

Hope.

Hope is an empty promise that will never be filled.

Hope is a broken marriage that leads to depression.

Hope is an affair that was waiting to happen.

Hope is waiting for your husband to come home For one night.

Hope is waiting for your husband for 3 months.

Hope is waiting for your husband for 3 years.

Hope is a Rope tied to a ceiling.

Hope is a chair on the floor.

Hope is a noose around your neck.

Hope is when you kick a chair and you're just hanging there.

Hope Is a voicemail from your husband That's says hes filing for divorce.

Hope is a grieving father who lost his son.

Hope was a grieving father who had to bury his son.

Hope was the name of his son.

Hope Origami was his name.

If Hope was still alive and you're having a bad day,  Hope would asked "Does the good outweigh the bad?"

His father would say "Yes it does, Because I have you and you will always outweigh the bad."

Origami held the picture in his hand, With tears rolling down his face and onto the Picture...

He said "Happy Birthday.... Hope...  My baby boy... As long as you are always here, you'll always outweigh the bad."

He sat on his red chair holding the picture Then placing it beside a cupcake that had a Birthday candle on, it was the numbers 28.

Hope would have been 28 this year...

He committed suicide at 23

To a Loving Son

  Happy Birthday

Hope
