"n-no why would i?" error asks and ink squints his eyes at him 

"you...you didn't...do anything dumb did you?...razors usually have a tight screw connecting them to the plastic... error.." ink says and sets an hand on errors arm and error flinches.

 he frowns hard and error backs up but he grabs his wrist and error winces as ink's grip gets a little tighter

 "LET GO!" error screams and ink looks worried and doesn't let go, he pulls error closer to him and he uses his other hand to push error sleeve up to reveal the bandages. 

error's fist tightens and he punches ink "you tell ANYONE and i'll fucking kill you.." error threatens and ink looks in shock 

"e-error...you're hurting yourself! why?!" ink asks and this causes error to cry

"why not..?...geno was the one keeping this family together...and now he's gone...I can't live without him ink!"

"d-do you really think geno would want this?!"

"I DON'T CARE!! I JUST *hic* WANNA SEE MY BROTHER!!" error screams at ink as tears rolls down his cheeks and his knees give out.

asy rushes in and looks at the too and his face falls as he sees error yanking his hood down over his head as he lets out sobs "i jus...wan't my *hic* brother!" he cries and whimpers. 

asy feels his soul hurt as he walks over to error and makes an effort to comfort him but error smacks him away

"g-go away!" he cries and slouches against the wall.

the sight of error being so depressed and knowing how his friend was even suicidal was too much for ink to handle. 

he let out sniffles and ran out of his room and to find his mom who was most likely trying to help with error's mourning mother. 

error held his wrist right after he smacked asy with it and he grimaced as pain struck.

"hey kiddo...you okay? you kinda look like you're in pain.." asy said and error hissed at him. 

"i'm fine, jus...go away!" he yelled and asy stood back a bit. he couldn't help but feel bad for error.

blood seeped through errors sleeves and there was no way in hiding it now.

asy's eyes widen as he saw it and he immediately grabbed errors arm gently and pulled his sleeves down to see the bloody bandages. 

"oh my god..." he muttered as he got memories of himself. 

error just gave up. 

now two people knew 

he looked away  

"how long have you been doing this?" asy asked and error didn't answer. 

the adult frowned and took the bandages off 

error let out pain noises as the cold air touched his wounds 

"ow ow.."

"do they hurt?" asy asks and error nods

"why did you do this?" he asks more and error furrows his 'eyebrows'

"it should be obvious..." he muttered

"geno..?" he asks and error's lip quivers and he tugs his hoodie down more to hide his face

"i'm sorry..."

"just shut up..."

asy sighs and helps error change his bandages 

______

"M-MOMMA!!" ink cried as he hugged his mothers side.

"ink? whats wrong hunny?" comyet asks and ink wipes away his tears which makes both comyet and CQ worried since ink doesn't cry hardly at all.

"e-errors hurting himself! really badly!! i'm really worried for him!" ink said and shoved his face into his mothers shirt to wipe off his tears 

comyet and CQ look at each other and they head to error's room. as they walk in, error is sitting on his bed with asy cleaning the cuts. 

CQ walks over and examines the wounds and she starts to cry

"e-error...why are you doing this?" she asks and error shys away and starts to cry, he continues to refuse to talk.

 he shakes his head and he holds his wrist against his chest, keeping anyone from looking at them his eyes meet with ink's and he gives him a stone cold glare 

"you...YOU FUCKING TATTLE TAIL!!" error yelled and ink felt hurt by error's aggression 

CQ looked at error and held her head in her hands, this wasn't helping her at all. one of her sons is dead and now the other one is self harming 

she walked out and went to her room to go cry more. comyet gave a look of concern and she thought about going after her.

error on the other hand was angry that his friend betrayed him

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!!" error yelled and pounced on ink. starting to beat the poor artist up.

comyet and asy quickly tried to get error off him and afterwards ink wanted to go home. 

he could understand why error was so upset but.

 he couldn't be there for him nor did he really want to 

error was a ticking time bomb.

he could burst at any minute 

and ink didn't want to be there to witness him bursting

not unless he had a death wish

______

fresh had been over at deccans during that time, they had been reading books and fresh couldn't help but keep staring at deccans 

the poor boy was dying. 

it reminded him too much of geno. 

it hurt somehow.

he wanted to help before it was too late so he had been watching over his friend every chance he got.

"fresh?" the boy asked which snapped fresh out of his thoughts

"whats up deccy dec?" 

"you stopped turning the pages. it usually takes you 5 to 10 minutes to read a page but you haven't turned the page for 20 minutes now.." deccans said and fresh looked at him 

"just thinkin 'bout mah bro" fresh simply said

"geno?" deccans asked and fresh shook his head

"nah broski, error brah" fresh corrected and deccans looked more interested

"oh? is he okay? i know he really cared about geno.." deccans said and fresh nodded 

"yeah, geno was da only person dat could calm him down but, now dat geno's gone, he's gotten ten times worse. can't help but worry for him" fresh explained

 that wasn't the main thing on his mind but it was at least one of them that he didn't mind talking about

"oh...i hope he gets better" deccans says then starts coughing

fresh frowns "do ya need ta take ya meds?" he asks and deccans nods and stands up then heads out of his room

fresh sighs and continues to read, then something catches his eye. 

"dis might come in handy"

_________

comyet said goodbye to the family and left with ink. 

the two met with deccans and fresh on their way out.

 ink told them that he didn't want to come over to see error anymore so fresh would have to come over to his house if they wanted to hang out. 

fresh nodded in understanding and deccans waved goodbye to ink and ink returned it.

and with that, comyet and ink left.

error lay in his bed and was forced to give asy his razor.

he felt humiliated. 

it was making him glitch badly

ink didn't want to see him

he had lost his one and only friend

"i really am a bad person..." he says under his breath and he passes out.

time passes by and before asy and CQ go to bed, they make sure error is asleep. then they go to sleep themselves

_______

error wakes up and looks at the clock,

2:58 am

he sighed and looked at the ceiling 

he felt numb and life itself felt like a dream

it was painful, emotionally

Is this what mourning is like?

he couldn't take it anymore.

what was the point of living anymore?

he is nothing without geno, 

his loving brother...

"i cant take this anymore.." he mutters and gets out of bed.

Life meant nothing without geno.

Error himself knew he was a bad person.

Even though he was just a troubled child.

he walks over to his desks and turns the lamp on.

he grabs some paper and writes on it

--------

dear family,

i'm sorry for being such a jerk for years, don't worry you wont have to deal with it any longer. i'm ending it tonight. i can't stand being without geno. he means too much to me. you all should know this. i love you guys. and 

i'm sorry for being such a terrible brother..

- error 

-------

error sighs and leaves the note on his desk. he then heads out of his room and looks around the house. he gathers some items and takes them back to his room. 

rope...

and a stool...

he ties a large knot at the end of the rope then makes another knot in a way that looks like a noose 

he opens his closet door and puts the end on top of the door then closes it.

he yanks on the rope to see it it will hold and he gives a sigh of relief  when it works.

 he push the stool against the door and gets onto the stool

he wraps the rope around his neck, getting on his tippy toes slightly since he made sure that he wouldn't be able to touch the floor.

he takes a deep breath and says a quick prayer.

he starts to cry and he smiles 

"i'll see you soon geno.." he says and kicks the stool from under him and it falls over actually hitting his bed and making a loud crashing noise but he doesn't care. 

his breath shortens and his will to live fights but it isn't strong enough as he slips into unconsciousness...
