Give Me All Your Poison... Ummm No Thanks

I can't believe that Marzia is really dead.

Two deaths in such short time.

This time I'm not going to deal with it with alcohol. I'm just going to have to say these 'final goodbyes'. I put that in quotes because you never know of Marzia's soul might need to stay behind for a while. I know, wierd.

I sat across from where Midnight was comforting a sobbing Felix. I looked back down from the scene so I didn't burst into tears. It was amazing how I could block everything around me out if needed to.

After about 10 minutes of peace my phone vibrated. I pulled it out of my pocket and saw that one of the channels I subscribed to on YouTube.

I opened it it to see a thumbnail of Midnight on PewDiePie's channel. I was immensely confused. I looked up at Midnight, who was still bust with Felix, hugging and ribbon his back to comfort him.

I opened the video.

"Uhm, hi. I know I'm not Pewds, but he wasn't able to do a video for you, so here I am." Midnight spoke awkwardly. "He wanted me to tell all his bros that he apologizes for all the days that he was unable to upload videos the past few days. He is going through a really rough time right now."

You could hear Felix whispering in the background, but couldn't quite make out what he was saying.

"Are you sure?" Midnight asked, looking at who must have been Felix. "The reason he wasn't able to make videos and why he won't be able to continue for a few more days is because.... Because sadly Marzia, his girlfriend, has recently passed.... She was struggling with a brain tumour and sadly they took a piece of her medulla off with the tumour on accident. We will all miss her dearly." She let silent tears fall from her eyes before ending the video.

"Fuck." I mumbled under my breath as I let a few tears roll down my face. Before the video I knew she was dead, but couldn't believe it, but know I came to sudden realization that Marzia really is gone.

I stood from my chair and walked over to Felix and Midnight.

"I saw the video." I was looking down at my feet.

There was a silence before I added "I'm really sorry Felix."

"Thank you. Really for everything. Making her last few days memorable." Felix said, wiping his tears and looking up at me.

"Should we go back to the apartment now?" Midnight asked, standing up.

"Sure, let's go." Anthony said, wiping his face and standing.

We all slowly filled out of the hospital, into our cars and back to Felix's apartment.

"Frank?" Gerard asked, pulling my shoulde back.

"Yes?"

"Could I talk to you... Privately?" He nodded towards the kitchen.

"What do you need, Gee?" I ask, looking at him.

"About Midnight. I know Marzia is gone now an all an this isn't really the time, but if we don't try and stop her she might be gone soon too." I looked at him angrily at first, but as he explained himself I also came to the realization that he was absolutely correct.

"What can we do?" I asked, looking into his eyes that conveyed pure sadness and depression.

"I've heard of this thing called the butterfly project. You draw a butterfly where the person cuts and they can't cut there or the butterfly will die or something like that." I concentrated on the idea for a moment.

"But what if the butterfly isn't enough?"

"I thought about that too. We could draw things that remind her of hopeful times... Or maybe even Marzia." This was genius.

"Gee... Your too fucking smart." I said and brought him into a hug. "Thank you."

"It's what friends do, right?" I aimed a small, sad smile at him before walking out to Midnight.


I was was conflicted at the sight of Marzia stroking Felix's hair and hugging him.

Notes

I'm sorry I took a while.
