You heard the explosions. You watch as people are getting rolled away on crutches. Your eyes widen as they land on tre. You ran to him.
“Where is he?” your voice shook.
“He’s there,” were the only words he could get out. lifting his hand to the battlefield. Your heart sank. You knew what was awaiting you but you refused to believe it. You pushed through the crowds. Everything was blocked off. You ripped through everyone. Getting in trouble was the last thing on your mind.
You ran. Past everyone. You run as fast as your legs could carry you. You told yourself he was fine. He will be ok. But the closer you got to the battle field. The more you see people running away. People crying out for family members. All you could do was pitcher his smile. The smoke was like fog. You could barely see or breathe. You ran from building to building looking for him.
He was ok, he had to be ok. He was a hero; this was an everyday thing for him. You search for hours. No matter how long you looked you couldn't find him. Your mind was screaming that he was home waiting for you. He's not here. And as you were about to lose all home you spotted yellow from the corner of your eye. Your heart filled up as you screamed his name.
The smoke finally started to clear as you ran towards with him. He didn't move to you. Your vision finally cleared. You met with him. Your legs began to shake as you reached out to him. He did not do the same. You fell to your knees. Bloodstained his clothes. His eyes were dull and blank. He didn't even get to close them. He was impaled by the body. As his blood formed into a puddle on the floor.
“justin-” was the only thing you could get out as you sobbed.
He looked so peaceful. You grabbed his hand. It was cold but you didn't let go. He died all alone but you couldn’t stop thinking of everything he said. How he was so happy to be with you. How he helped you study. You loved him so much but you didn't get to make a future with him. It ended too fast. It's not fair. This was supposed to be the beginning. He was so kind and caring. He fought for everyone's happiness.
He wanted everyone to be happy and put everyone first. In the end, no one was there when he needed them most. Who could do this to someone? You didn't let go of him. You didn't know how long you were there but you do remember being taken to the hospital. You barely remember crying with his mother. Being driven by Darin . It was the first time you saw him cry.
You watched as his hands shook. To be honest, if you were not a mess in that car. He probably would have ended it all. He tried to keep it together for you. You remember getting home and crying with him for hours. You don't even remember falling asleep but you did know you didn't want to wake up.
Your body was warm but you felt ice cold. You snuggled into the warmth wanting it to swallow you whole. You felt it grab you dragging you inside. You felt it rubbing your head and humming sweet sounds in your ears. You didn't know the song but it filled you with joy. As you remember the way justin would snuggle into you.
You never had someone captivate you in a hug. Your body felt light and safe; You wanted to stay there forever.

Peanuts and Crackerjack
Bottom of the ninth inning. The game is tied with two outs, two strikes and a man on second. I tap the bat on home plate. The rigid vibrations it creates reminds my aching digits that this isn't over. The practice swing only adds to the heft of mental burnout... Man on second, willing to chance it. Pitcher eyes him but doesn't give in to the dangerous bluff. I kick up dust, readying the peculiar stance I've had since the days of little league. The bat lays stiff upon my cramping shoulder. Pain has no reason to be acknowledged; it's a fleeting afterthought. The sun sits passed high noon, but the stadium lights are on anyway. They trick my brain into believing they are the cause of this sweltering heat. Sporadic clouds are motionless, they too, don't want to miss this exhilarating predicament. Anticipating the next pitch, intensifying roars from the crowd rumble the stadium... Behind me, the crafty catcher adjusts his stance and spits to the dry dirt. Behind him, the staunch umpire doesn't flinch or even blink; he knows how important his call will be. The pitcher winds up, his grip tells me its gonna curve. The release is fierce! Beads of sweat from his hair and face disperse in every direction as the force of his might is unfailing. My left leg lifts—an instinctual move that will increase the power of my swing. It's all down to my two, bloodshot eyes. They lock onto the speeding, white dot as it instantly becomes the target I intend to destroy. The swing is late, but I manage a solid tip. The ball is taking a fast bounce toward the pitcher who is recovering from the almighty throw! Man on second leaves in a desperate rush! I fling the bat to the side with a sense of urgency and make a mad sprint to the only destination I have—first base. Three defenders race inward to be the first to retrieve the skidding ball. Man is almost on third! I watch the open glove of my adversary, wondering if I’ve done enough to win this race. I switch my attention to his eyes, looking for a clue, some kind of reaction that tells me the ball is in the air and heading his way. All I see is frustration. The deafening roar of the crowd spikes! Something happens that I can’t see! My opponent abandons his post right as my left stride touches the bag. I waste no time turning my head to see the pitcher laying on his stomach, pounding the mound with an open glove. He misses the opportunity to out me and the ball has quickly bounced past him. Excitement grows! This isn’t over yet... It's become an imperative fight to tag out the runner heading homeward. The catcher falls to his knees in obvious despair as he watches my teammate make the run of his life. He knows it’s going to be close when he sees the shortstop fumble the ball a second too long. I jump up and down with no plans on leaving first base. All my chips are on the speed and agility of the active runner. His cleats dig into the dirt, trailing a dust-filled cyclone from the rapid and strenuous strides. With a thrusting dive and an outstretched arm, he lands on his chest to begin the crucial slide to home plate. The shortstop fires the ball to the catcher! It immediately begins closing the gap! Nail-biting doesn't begin to describe the anxious vibe permeating the stadium. The bench begins to celebrate even before he reaches the plate. Forty thousand cheering fans reach maximum crescendo, filling the air with a glorious sound. Everyone knows how this story will end… My teammate is met by the entire bench as his fingers inch across home plate, instantly followed by the unmistakable motion of the catcher's glove attempting to tag him out—its milliseconds too late. The ump swings his arms outward, officially calling him safe.
