???:"hey, bro, i don't got all night,"
???:"just wait till I beat this piece of shit."
There were two young boys-one playing a game, and the other was watching him. the first one seemed like a giant, at least compared to his friend.
???:"Hey Arian, did the police find your father?"
Arian:"if they had found him, i wouldn't be here with you."
Arian looked at him with his scary dark brown eyes. They were so frightening that they could make any kid cry just by meeting his gaze.
???:"Let's go."
Arian:"Where?"
???:"To the convenience store. Where else is there to go at this hour?"
Arian:"..."
The black haired-boy didn't answer. He knew it was getting late and he should have been home a long time ago, but he was enjoying the time with his friend, Kirei, and didn't want to end it..
A cold wind brushed past the two of them as they walked out.
Kirei:"so… your house tomorrow?"
Arian:"Well, about that…"
Kirei:"What? you got a girlfriend I don't know about? Did you cheat on me?!"
Arian:"No-don't be stupid.I don't have a girlfriend…and stop talking nonsense."
Kirei:"Acting like a Tsundere now hahahaha."
Arian:"..."
They arrived at the convenience store Arian bought an energy drink and was waiting for Kirei to come out.
he saw a girl walking in the street alone and she seemed to familiar yes she was familiar she is from the class as Arian in highschool
Arian:" hey Kuroha!."
she looked back and saw a tall boy walking up to her she was scared
Arian:"Kuroha, what are you doing alone in the streets at this hour?"
Kuroha:"It's none of your business creep leave me alone."
she answered him with angry loud voice she seemed like she was scared of him
Arian:"and just like that she walked away am i stupid? No, I'm definitely stupid."
Kirei:"hey arian!."
He turned around when he heard a voice calling to him, and since he was his sole buddy, it was obvious that it was Kirie.
Kirei halted abruptly and gave Arian a suspicious look
Kirei:"what were you doing?"
For a brief moment, Arian stopped, as though the question had already penetrated his mind. He paused, then averted his gaze in an attempt to conceal his inner turmoil. He answered in a purposefully informal tone, a slight, meaningless smile spreading across his face.
Arian:"Uh… nothing. Anyways, I'm going home. see you later"
Kirei nodded, his voice returning to normal, as if nothing unusual had happened.
Kirei:"see you tommorrow."
Arian turned and began walking away. His steps were calm, yet they concealed an inner exhaustion that never reached his face. The road home was familiar, yet it felt longer than usual, as though the distance stretched the deeper he sank into his thoughts.
When he did stop, he was in front of a big home. The house was obviously owned by a wealthy family because of its large gates and broad walls. It appeared vast and magnificent from the outside, but it felt oddly quiet, as though warmth did not always equate to expanse.
Arian entered the house, went up to his room, and quietly closed the door behind him. He let his body fall onto the bed, as though all the fatigue he had been holding back rushed in at once. He stared at the ceiling for a few seconds before his phone began to vibrate.
It was his mother calling.
Arian looked at the screen and hesitated for a brief moment… then he ended the call without answering. He placed the phone aside, as if its sound had become a burden he did not want to carry. Turning onto his side, he pulled the blanket over himself and closed his eyes.
He thought of nothing—or perhaps too many things at once. Either way, he slowly drifted into sleep, leaving the day behind, along with everything that had remained unsaid.

Arian:"Agh…agh…agh.."
Suddenly, in the middle of the night, Arian woke up with severe pain. He felt his stomach tearing apart, as if he was getting stabbed repeatedly.
A sharp, violent pain tore through his body. His chest felt as if it were being crushed from the inside. Instinctively, brought his hand to his mouth, trying to steady his breathing.
Arian:"Agh…agha… where is the damn phone…?"
And then it happened.
A warm liquid past his lips.
He froze.
Blood dripped from his mouth, staining his hand a dark, sickening red. For a moment, he simply stared at it, his mind struggling to process what his eyes were seeing.
his stomach twisted, and another wave of pain surged through him, forcing him to cough. More blood followed, splattering to his bedsheets
Arian's breaths became shallow and uneven, panic crept in-slow, heavy, and impossible to ignore.
He swallowed hard, the metallic taste of blood lingering in his mouth, and leaned forward slightly, fighting the urge to collapse back onto the bed. whatever this was , sleep would not claim him again tonight
Arian:"Please father help me, I don't wanna die."
His chest rose one last time.
then it didin't
Arian's eyes remained half open, staring at nothing. The tension drained from his body, his hand slipping from his chest, fingers slowly uncurling. and the room returned to complete stillness.
No breath.
No movement.
No sound.
The night continued on.
and Arian did not.
