Chapter 4

Sally`s song…

# I sense there`s something in the wind, that seems like tragedy`s at hand. #

A sighed, making sure he had locked the door properly, he couldn`t take it anymore. He couldn`t…he tried so damn hard.

#And though I`d like to stand by him, can`t shake this feeling that I have. #

'B won`t bother me, I told him to let me study alone…he`ll probably be with L.' A muttered, looking at a photo hanging on the wall: it was of himself, B and L. the top 3 in Wammy`s House.

#The worst is just around the bend…#

L and B shivered, they shrugged off the feeling of unease and sipped their teas. The older teen fidgeted, B scratched his nose.

# And does he notice my feelings for him? And will he see how much he means to me? #

'Erm…L? It`s about A…he`s been acting a bit funny, and he looks at me weird…' B said, curling next to L on the velvet sofa. L prodded his arm.

#I think it`s not to be…#

'I noticed too, Beyond…you musn`t worry yourself like this, he could be day-dreaming for all we know.' L smiled, picking up a large file.

'True…what`s this case about?' B asked, peering at the manila file, with a small smile.

#What will become of my dear friend? Where will his actions lead us then? #

'I`d better check on A…he studies too hard, and it sounded like he had a cold when I last spoke to him.' B stood and stretched a little. L looked at the now-gone cake and stood up and yawned.

#Although I`d like to join the crowd, in their enthusiastic cloud. #

'Uh, Lawliet? Is it just me or…something doesn`t feel quite alright…' Beyond trailed as they walked out of the room. B froze, before taking off down the hall. L groaned and ran after him.

# Try as I may, it doesn`t last. #

'Locked! Fucker!' B cursed, pulling a bobby-pin out of L`s hair, and began to pick the locks, and then decided to ram the door down. L kicked the door with enough force to shatter it.

# And will we ever end up together? No, I think not, it's never to become…#

B flung the broken door open, to only to see A stood on a stool, a tie as a makeshift noose, the brunette looked at their interlaced hands and gave them a sad smile.

'NO! A!' B and L simultaneously screamed, as A suddenly jumped…B felt hot tears run down his face. ~The numbers! They are…gone…~ he wailed, L pulled him into a consoling hug, only to cause them both to break down sobbing.

#For I am not the 1…#
