~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Introduction~

One.
Two.
Three.
Four.

Those were the number fresh cuts that sat atop Mitch's wrist. This was the minimum of what he usually does; but today he had to cut back. Today him and the other members of the Pack were going out to dinner; something they hadn't done since they all moved into the same house. 

It was honestly surprising how well Mitch kept his self harm habits hidden. Jerome was just to oblivious to the fact that his best friends were suicidal. Yep. Half the Pack were corrupted with these thoughts; only knowing of each other's troubles.

Five.
Six.
Seven.
Eight.

Those were the number of pills Rob swallowed. This was what happened everyday. Rob hoped the pills would help his headaches and thoughts; but nothing helped.

It was surprising how Rob was able to hide all the pill bottles in his room. Preston just ignored it. Never would he know that his best friends were suicidal.

Nine.
Ten.
Eleven.
Twelve.

Those were the number of sentences that lined the paper. Vik sat with his head in his hands as he thought over what he wanted to say in his final note. This note was started two weeks ago; but nothing has come to mind for Vik.

Lachlan was oblivious to his friends stress. Nor did he see the depression swimming in his friends eyes. Nor did he see the rope Vik hid in his dresser; which could be seen from the door.

Thirteen.
Fourteen.
Fifteen.
Sixteen.

Those were the number of times Brandon has climbed to the roof and considered jumping. Bottles sat on the roof of their house; all of them empty but the stench of alcohol was still evident in all of them.

Mat never knew what Brandon did on the roof. He was oblivious; just like everyone else. No one knew that Mitch, Rob, Vik, and Brandon were depressed. The four boys knew of each other's depressions; and helped as best they could. But this is one night none of them would get back.

~3rd Person POV~

Blood ran down Mitch's arm as he quickly hid his razor in it's place. A quiet sequence of knocks were heard on the bathroom door; allowing Mitch to know it was one of his friends. Mitch quickly unlocked the door and peeked out to see Vikk standing there. 

"The boys are all gathered downstairs. You need any help?" Vikk asked quietly as he motioned to his friends arm.

"Yes please. You know more about cleaning this stuff then I do." Mitch said as he allowed his small friend into the bathroom.

Vik nodded as he gently pulled Mitch's arm under the sink and turned on the water; receiving a wince from Mitch. Vik gave his friend a sympathetic look before drying off his arm and wrapping it up with gauze.

"You ready to go?" Vik asked as he opened the door.

Mitch nodded and followed Vik out of the bathroom and down the stairs to where everyone else was waiting. Jerome, yet again, was completely oblivious to the fact that Mitch had bandages wrapped around his arm.

"Alright! Let's get going guys!" Jerome said as he led Mat, Lachlan, and Preston out the door. 

Mitch looked at his friends before leading the out; hopping in the back of their van. Jerome started the car and pulled out of the driveway; heading towards their destination. The entire ride was filled with chatter and banter; none of the other boys noticing how quiet Mitch, Vik, Brandon, and Rob were.

Eventually the group made it to their destination and sat down to eat. After ordering their food, the four began to chat gain while the others sat quietly; their thoughts swimming in the sea of depression. One look to each other told them they've all had enough of their oblivious crushes. Tonight would be the final countdown.

~Time Skip~

"Can I talk to you Jerome?" Mitch asked quietly as he walked into Jerome's room that night.

"Sure biggums. What's up?" Jerome asked as he set down his book and sat crisscross on his bed.

"I'm, planning on leaving soon." Mitch said, hoping his best friend would think of the right thing. But with his luck, he didn't.

"Are you moving out?" Jerome asked as he stood up and walked over to his friend. 

"I guess you could say that, yes." Mitch said, murmuring the first part to himself.

"Well, I fully support your decision Mitch." Jerome said as he hugged him.

Mitch weakly hugged back before pulling away and walking out of the room; the words 'I fully support your decision' running through his mind over and over like a broken record player.

~~~

"Preston? Can I ask you something?" Rob asked as he sat down next to him.

"Sure Robbie." Preston said as he put his phone down and turned to Rob.

"Can you take care of my plants for me? I have to leave tomorrow so I can deal with some personal problems. I don't know when I'll be back." Rob said; lying through his teeth.

"Yeah I can do that for you! Anything for my best friend!" Preston said before he went back to looking through his phone.

Rob let out an inaudible sigh as he got up and went to his room; 'Anything for my best friend' cutting deep into his heart. He wanted more than that.

~~~

"Lachlan, I have something for you." Vik said as he dropped a sealed envelope into the blonde's lap.

"What is it?" Lachlan asked as he began to open the letter.

"Wait! It's a secret. You aren't supposed to open it until midnight." Vik explained as he stopped his friend from opening the letter. 

"What am I supposed to do until then?" Lachlan pouted playfully.

Vik sighed. "Just wait. You'll see the surprise."

"I can't wait! I already know its going to be great!" Lachlan said as he walked to his room.

"Yeah. It sure will." Vik said as he looked at his reflection in the hall mirror.

~~~

"Thanks for going shopping Brandon!" Mat said as Brandon set the groceries on the counter; minus one bag which stayed in his hand.

"No problem Mat. Anything else you need?" Brandon asked as he began to back out of the kitchen.

"Nope. We're all good I think." Mat told him. "Thanks bro!"

"Yep. If you need me, I'll be on the roof." Brandon said, hoping Mat would ask him that one question.

"Okay Brandon. See you later!" Mat said as he began to put away the groceries.

Brandon sighed as he rushed up to the roof quickly; taking out his bottles of beer and placing them near the edge. 

Only two more hours.

~~~

It was an hour and a half before midnight when everyone gathered. Mitch, Rob, Vik, and Brandon all gathered in Mitch's bedroom; all sitting on the bed as Mitch pressed record on his camera.

"Hey guys. So, I really don't know how to start this." Mitch said as he backed away and sat down next to Rob.

"Well, by the time you've read the note and found this video, we would've already been gone." Vik said simply, giving the camera a small smile.

"We just wanted to give you guys one last goodbye before we left." Brandon told the camera.

"Preston. This first message is for you." Rob said. "I love you Preston. More than just a friend. But I knew I could never have you. It seemed you would always tell me stuff like: "Oh anything for my best friend" or "That's what friends are for!" I never was able to tell you how I truly felt. The pills I used never seemed to help me with that. And Preston, I love you. Don't blame yourself for my choice."

"Next is you Lachlan." Vik said as she sat forward a little bit. "Thank you Lachy, for giving me the best years of my life. Truth be told, I did have depression most of the time but you made it better. Well, that is until now. Earlier today, I handed you an envelope. And what you said after I told you it was a surprise got to me slightly. You said, 'I already know it's going to be great'. If only you knew what would've actually happened."

"Mat, this is for you." Brandon said as he pulled out a small box and opened it to reveal a small slime and robot necklace. "I was going to give this to you. I was going to try to confess my love to you, but it seemed like you never really needed me. Sure you're grateful when I help around, but you never seem like I was needed. But it was probably my mistake."

"Finally it's Jerome." Mitch said, looking at the camera sadly. "Biggums, I love you so much. No words can describe how I felt about you. But, it seems I fell in love with a blind man. You were my best friend; yet you couldn't see past my fake smiles or the bandages that always laced my arm. But I still love you; even if sometimes, I was invisible."

"You were so oblivious. All of you were." Rob told the camera as tears ran down his face. "We tried so hard to show what we were going through. We gave you hints the last time we talked to you."

"But guys. We don't want you to blame yourselves. It's our fault for falling in love with you guys. Forever and always." Brandon said as he gave the camera a sad smile.

"Anyway, we love you. We'll see you later. Have a good life." Mitch said as he stopped the recording and put the camera on his pillow.

Mitch turned to the others as they stood; staring at them before pulling them in a hug.

"See you guys soon." Mitch said as he walked into his connected bathroom and shut the door.

Footsteps were heard as Mitch grabbed his razor and raised it to his arm. It started at the top of his wrist and slowly made its way down; creating individual cuts as it did. Once Mitch was finished, he moved on to his other arm; doing the same thing until he began to feel lightheaded. Mitch hit the wall and slid down it; laying down on the floor as his crimson blood soaked everything in reach.

"I love you biggums..." Mitch said as his vision faded to black.

~~~

Counting out the pills in his hand, Rob sat crisscross on the middle of his bed; ready for the action about to take place.
Bottoms up. He thought as he placed all the pills in his mouth and swallowed them one by one. Rob laid back in his bed; placing his hands on his stomach as the pills began to take their effect. Rob's vision began to grow blurry as he let a small smile rest on his face before closing his eyes for good.

~~~

Vik stood carefully on the stool below him; wrapping the noose around his neck. All he had to do, was kick out the stool and he would join the others in their plan. Vik let out a deep breath, before kicking out the stool and hanging from the noose. Vik didn't struggle as he began to lose breath; but tears streamed down his face as his vision began to fade.

"See you soon guys." Vik gasped out before he let out his final breath.

~~~

Brandon had polished off his third bottle before he finally felt tipsy. He stood on the edge of their three story house; staring at the ground before him. The concrete seemed so soft to Brandon; but the might've been the alcohol talking. Brandon walked forward slightly as he murmured the last few verses of a song.

"I wish that I could fly, way up in the sky,
Like a bird so high,
Oh I might just try,
I wish that I could fly, way up in the sky,
Like a bird so high,
Oh I might just try,
Oh I might just try." 

And with the end of the sentence, Brandon jumped off the roof; hurtling to the ground before pain was felt and everything went black.

~~~

They wished they could've done something; wished they could've seen the signs. All four boys stood together as they watched the paramedics carry four body bags and put them in the ambulance. Nothing beside the sounds of sirens were heard as everyone went about sadly. Lachlan held Vik's final note in his hands; clutching it for dear life.

Mat held the necklace Brandon wanted to give him in his hands; staring at it with tears running down his face. Jerome held Mitch's dog tags and camera; all of them having watched the video. Preston held Rob's favorite flower in a pot in his hands; a lava flower as he called it.

Neither of the boys knew this would happen. But sometimes, life throws a curve ball at the best people. But these guys, they got over it slightly. They kept their friends in their hearts as they continued on with life; according to what their friends would've wanted.

But one day, they would all give in. One day, they would all take a bullet.
