Hey. Go to my profile, and find the read-a-loud I tried doing. I'm not guaranteeing that my reading will be good, but I can guarantee that the effects are decent.

How could I let things come up to this point?

Why am I the one that's standing?

You're suppose to be here where I stand, not me!

I should be on the floor, lifeless!

You didn't deserve this!

No... No one deserves this.

None of us deserved to be here. And yet, here we are.

You're not moving at all.

And to think, you had a smile on your face mere minutes before.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Why did you do that? I'd rather stay here in this wretched place than to let you go die like this.

But it's too late.

Why are you the one to decide that?

What made you do that?

How could you do that?

Why did you kill yourself?

What were you thinking?

How come you let this happen?

Why?

How?

What?

I don't understand...

I hope the wounds you endured didn't hurt.

I hope death came swiftly.

But, I wish I could ever hope that.

You pulled them off one by one.

Five petals, right?

Five agonizing wounds, and the fifth stole your life.

I remember that you were saying something as you took your own life.

For someone so young, what you said was beautiful.

"One petal for my father,

One petal for my mother,

I would have never chosen any other.

One petal for the man in the torn clothes,

One petal for the girl with the yellow rose.

Without those two, who knows?

I'll wind up dead and alone, and I'd never learn

That, hidden away, there is kindness at every turn.

So, the last petal goes to those four,

May they enjoy their future, and forget me nevermore."

I'll heed your poetic words.

I won't forget even if my memory of you fades away.

I know I won't forget because of her.

She'll be with me, every step of the way.

I'll become her brother.

She'll become my sister.

I'll devote my life to her.

I don't care if she nearly killed me.

I don't care if she hated me the first time we met.

You sacrificed your life, not just for my life to continue.

You sacrificed your life for hers to begin.

Your kindness is unbelievable.

You have a pure heart, free from fault.

But...

No.

I'll stop regretting.

I'll stop asking questions.

I know it's not what you want.

You wanted us to live our lives.

If you see us, from wherever you are,

And you see us wishing you didn't sacrifice your life, I know you'd weep.

I know you'll be sad.

I know your soul will not be in peace.

The time has finally come.

I cannot stay here, and neither can she.

But before we leave, I wanted to say my final words to you.

I hope you can hear me.

I want to say thanks.

Thank you for saving us.

Thank you for your company.

Thank you for always cheering me up, when I thought I'd go crazy.

Thank you for always being in my memory.

Goodbye.

Ib.
