*******“Steven!""Steven!!""My goodness, where is that boy?" The woman paused, pushing a stay lock of hair behind her ear. "Steven!""Yes! What is it, mother?""What! Don't tell me you've been in there all this time and I've been shouting on top of my lungs." Mrs. Mebel scolded."I'm sorry mum, I was lost in my own thoughts.""What is bothering you son? You're not the type to look dead and mostly to be lost in thoughts. Something's changed in you and I want to know what that is. What is it, son? You know you can tell me anything.""Yes mother I know, but I'm not so sure about this one. I don't want to share it with anyone."I might even die with it, gladly die with it."That's nonsense son, you've to share it with me. They say a problem shared is a problem half solved. If you don't tell me or anyone else, it keeps hurting you." Mrs. Mebel tried talking her son into telling her."Mum.""Yes, what is it? Trust your mother and tell her.""OK mum, but maybe later we could talk about this, right now I need me time.""Very well then, as you wish. Let me know when you're ready to talk.""I will mother," Steven answered as he watched his mother leaving his room, closing the door behind her. He fell back on his bed, hands desperately wiping at his eyes, he didn't want to cry. But he just couldn't help it. This was wrong, so very wrong. What has happened? What went wrong?.Hold yourself together Steven, you can do this. You don't have to cry, you did the right thing.The right thing? I don't think so. I had it all in control, where had it all gone wrong? He wondered. Suddenly his heart went cold and for some reason, he thought he couldn't breathe, he froze and couldn't move a muscle."This is too much for me, dear Lord, please help me. I need your help to overcome this, I need to be me again."This is stronger than my poor heart could take, even I want to go insane. I'm going to die if this continues, I'm going to lose my mind, I think I'm going to be sick.This all started the day his best friend David invited him over to his house when he got back from his honeymoon and Steven had traveled to London when David had gotten married, so he wasn't there at David's wedding and to make up for that, Steven had to visit him and his wife. But now, that was a journey he wished he'd never embarked upon.Related chapters

Chapter: 2.******Steven was dancing to his favorite music when he got a call on his cell phone. First, he loves dancing and he wouldn't stop even if it were his mother on the line, but when he saw the caller he stopped, paused his music and went to answer it."Hello!""Hey! My main village man. How are you?" Said the melody's voice from the other end and Steven found himself smiling. Steven loves David and they have been friends since forever, in fact, they were both born in the same hospital, the same day and they were both laid in a bed beside each other. Their mothers were in the same room on a bed beside each other when the babies were brought to them. It was as if fate had brought them together. The parents bonded after that ordeal and they had grown to be inseparable, almost brothers. When their fathers had crashed on a plane 10 years ago. They had been each other's backbones and the reason their mothers are still alive. He has missed his best friend and was so happy to hear f

Chapter: 3.*****What is wrong with me? Let's just pretend none of that happened earlier and I wish Raya wasn't married to David. "What!" Where did that come from? I can't stay here and certainly can't feel something for my best-friend’s wife, it's wrong and a sin.Nothing seems to be working the way Steven wanted it right now. He stayed up turning and tossing around making a mess of the king-sized bed. He never knew when he eventually fell asleep. Steven wished it never happened but David came right in and bounced on him waking him up with a jolt. Now that was a really cruel way to wake someone up and being so angry David did that, Steven threw David off of him and had him pinned down on the bed. When he eventually let go of his hand they both had a good pillow fight that got the pillows open and flying all around the place. For two grown men like his mother used to say, they sure know how to play like kids. He guesses it's part of them, something that makes them special, something

Chapter: 4. *****"I am sorry David but I can't stay, I've got some packing to do." Even if Steven hasn't unpacked yet, he has a flight to book for tomorrow. Just as he walked into the living room Steven saw Raya, she stood there looking into his wet blue eyes then she ran into his arms and went on her knees.What is wrong with this woman?She cried begging Steven not to leave. Obviously, she was eavesdropping on them all along."You know it's bad eavesdropping on other people's conversations and please get up.""What is going on?""I won't answer a woman on her knees." She got on her feet and pleaded for Steven to look at her in the eyes, just this once. She was right although Steven would never forget her, he still needed just one last gaze of her. Steven looked into her eyes and he froze."Tell me, what is going on?""Raya I'm leaving tomorrow and I am glad you're in David's life now, don't forget he loves you very much, so take good care of him for me. I love him so much." Steven

Chapter: 5.*****The airport taxi was already waiting for Steven by the time he got out. The drive to the airport made him wish he'd never travel again. The taxi sucks. The air was so fucking hard to breathe in. Eventually, they made it to the airport and once Steven was ready to go on board, the sight of the plane made him want to throw up the little of what's left from last night. Steven might never board a plane for the rest of his life again.I think I'm going to be sick.That is if I made it home alive.What did I ever do wrong? Why did my sick heart have to love someone else's wife? David hates his guts, he would never speak to him again, his face this morning told Steven more than enough.? How would he go on living knowing too well that David is no longer part of his life?It's no longer D&S.It's just him.What could be worse? His life right before his eyes is fading away, there would be no one to talk to, no one to share his pain and worries with. Never had he ever thought a

Chapter: 6. *****"Where have you been? I've been looking all over for you.""As you can see, I'm getting my favorite fruit. What do you want?""To see your beautiful eyes.""Yeah right! Think I don't know sarcasm when I hear it. Seriously though, what do you want?""Have you seen Raya? Can't find her anywhere.""I think she went off to get some things.""Just tell her I'm off to a meeting. Not sure when I will be back, tell her not to hold lunch for me.""Mmm." Steven moaned as he took a big bite of his apple. "So good!""Go easy on that apple, you're a grown man.""Quit sounding like my mother, you're no different, Mr grown man."David smacked him hard on the head and ran off while Steven chased after him but he was faster and was already in his car pulling off by the time Steven got out."I'd reserve that slap for you when you get back, you egghead!" Steven yelled and saw David flip him the finger.A few minutes later Raya walked into the kitchen, carrying bags in both hands."Nee

Chapter: 7.*****Steven's mother came into the room again, this time she needs her answers and Steven can't tell her he needed more time. She has given him quite enough time."Steven.""Yes, mother.""I am back.""I can see that.""So mind telling me what has gotten into you since you got back from David's.""Mum, D hates me now, he would never forgive me. He told me but I never believed it would happen eventually.""What! How could he? After all these years of successful friendship, he is willing to throw everything down the drain. He has no right to hate you.""Mum relax it's not his fault.""I don't care whose fault it is, you two have no right to hate each other.""Maybe you're right mother, but this is all my fault.""What do you mean your fault?""Mother David invited me over to make up for missing his wedding and I went to his house to fall in love with his wife. How fantastic is that?""You did what?""Yes mother I did and I don't want Raya to get the wrong impressions or fee

Chapter: 8****Back in David's mansion, he was devastated and so sad. He had never been able to do anything useful with his life since Steven left. Even his marriage was threatened. Everyone in the house could hear his footsteps as he kept pacing back and forth in the huge living room. Even though the living room was big enough it seems small to take David's pacing. He needed more space. He felt hot and sweaty.What have I done? He asked himself for the millionth time that day. I can't live without him, I shouldn't have said those things to him. I can't possibly hate Steven, I'm losing my mind!"Fuck!"Steven had tried calling David but he guessed he was as foolish as Steven was not to have answered his calls. What a fool he's been, thinking he'd ever been happy without Steven, Raya is getting worried. David can't give her the attention she needs, he hasn't even touched her since Steven left. What is wrong with me? David needed more space, he needs to get out of here, maybe a walk in

Chapter 9.******Just like every other morning, your head is up, your eyes are opened but you just can't find yourself getting out of bed. With all that has been running through Steven's mind lately, he feels numb so he simply just sat back on the floor. His heart still aches and his body seems to have a mind of its own. Thankfully Lily hasn't called to knock him off about David and whether or not he had called him.Well guess today wasn't his lucky day because he was getting a call and it was from none other than the precious Lee."Hello, uncle Steven!" She sang into the receiver and Steven found himself smiling, she has this aura around her that brightens everything she touched or in his case, speak to."Hey, there sweetie! How are you?""Fine thank you, how are you?""Never been better darling.""Did you speak to David yet?""I'm afraid not, he hasn't taken any of my calls either, I've tried.""I am so sorry uncle Steve, don't be sad I'm sure he'd come around.""Yeah! I hope so too

Chapter: 34.*******Steven went back to reading, the words blurry but he tired. Whatever was going on, would be explained by this note. So he read. Hey baby! I know what you’re thinking right now, don't worry too much I'll tell you everything. God, I'll miss you so much! I'm so sorry for what happened. Raya had you shot and you were going to die from excessive bleeding in your chest. I couldn't let that happen, baby, so I-I. God, this is so difficult to write. Steven, I shot myself so you could have a change of heart. That's right baby, I gave you my heart. See! You're not totally alone. You've got me, forever. Living inside of you. That's where I belong. That's home. That's where I am meant to be.I'm sorry if you don't understand any of this, but in time you'll do. Go on living for me baby. Please!I need you to stay alive, for me. For us.You're my world, Steven. The sex, love and all that we shared would always be a memory I'd die for over and over and over again. And I m

Chapter: 33.******Steven had just woken up to the blinding lights that seem to pierce his very soul, he felt weak and tired.What had happened to me? He wondered, his vision blurry, memory fleeting. He couldn't remember a thing. With much struggle, he sat up and looked around him. Well, wherever he was is most certainly not his bedroom. Steven looked down at his clothing and discovered they were that of a hospital gown.What the fuck! He mentally yelled. Where the heck is David? His heart was throbbing in his chest. Panic getting ahold of him. Steven wanted to call out for help, but his voice came out like that of a broken record. He couldn't hear his own voice.God, what is going on? He could feel his eyes going misty. He was going to cry. He didn't know why he was filled with agony. The feeling of loss was too profound that his head couldn't understand it. Somehow he felt like a newborn like he's never seen the word before. He seems not to have a memory of where he was and what ha

Chapter: 32.******Raya kept turning and tossing on her bed. She knew something wasn't right, she felt sweaty and out of breath. She sat up quickly and climbed out of bed, leaving the bedroom. it has been four days since David left her to go see that Steven. She cursed and slammed her coffee cup on the table, winching as the hot content spilled on her hand. She cursed and took a towel, furiously wiping at her hand, when a maid came into the dining room. The maid stretched out her hand offering her a letter."What is that?" She inquired dejectedly."It came in for you ma." The maid said, dropping it on the table as instructed and she left. Raya gave a bitter smile and tore through the envelope...Hello Raya...Congratulations baby you did a good job, I must commend you. To think that Steven loves you so much and was ready to share. If he had given the word. I would have left you a long time ago. But he didn't want that. He loves you so much that he couldn't bear the thoughts of ever h

Chapter: 31.*****“I hate home works," Lily mumbled again, she has been trying none stop to solve this particular math problem that is really starting to annoy her, she hates the subject and now she can't help but hate it even more."Stop saying that sweety, you'll get it in time." Alice encouraged, walking into her daughter's bedroom, with a letter in hand."What is that?" Lily asked, throwing her books aside and sitting up to face her mother."I think is a letter, with our names written on it." Alice sat beside her daughter on the bed."A letter?" Lily whispered. "From whom?""I have no idea. Want me to read?" Alice asked, with a nod from lily she tore the envelope open and began reading. Hey Family.I know what you're thinking. Who is this stranger? Well, I can assure you, that I am no stranger. It's me, David. How are you, Lily? I want you to do me a great favor. I need you to take care of your uncle Steven for me. I know you love him and am glad he has you to look after him now

Chapter: 30.******“Mrs. Mebel you really should stop crying, this isn't good for your health," Stella begged for the umpteenth time that day. She hated seeing any of them hurt this way, she is as a Mother to Mebel and a Grandmother to Steven, they are her family since she has none. Mrs. Mebel has been broken since yesterday she had that argument with her son. Steven had left home and not come back. She regretted the way she handled the situation. Steven is her only son. He just came out to her, which is very difficult to do, and yet she had pushed and pushed until he left. If only he would call her and come back home. She would tell him she was sorry for calling him names and hurting him. She would tell him to go on and love whomever he wants, that she's in support of him."Madame," Stella called handing a package to Mrs. Mebel, calling her attention for once. Mebel made Stella open the package and brought out a letter from it. "It's for you," Stella said giving her to read. She st

Chapter: 29.******Mrs. Roseline just got off the phone with Raya, who has been crying her eyes off none stop on the phone, while telling her about David and Steven's secret affairs. It was shocking news to take in, never had she thought their closeness would get to this. But some were along this long run, she had known. It took them quite a long time to get to this point. Mrs. Roseline did what every mother would and tried her best to make Raya stop crying while promising to call her son to come to see her at once since he was in town. She knew the boys have been close this past few months, but then again, she couldn't remember a time, when they haven't been that way. She turned on her heels and was about to go into her room when one of her maids called."What do you want?" Roseline asked exhausted."This just came in for you, madam." The maid said, handing a package to her. Roseline unwrapped it and hissed when she saw it was a letter. "Do people still leave these?" She wondered.

Chapter: 28.******Once all the formalities had been completed and the police had finished their inquiries. Dr. Shepard sat slumped in his chair. He was beyond exhausted, the surgery was a success. But that was far from his worries at the moment. He still couldn't get himself to understand the reason why such a promising young man would take such a drastic decision, in just a blink of an eye. Shepard rubbed at his temple, his brain was harming in his head. Remembering the letters David threw in his hands. He searched for them until he found where he stacked them in. He brought them out and dropped them on his table while looking through each of them. They seem to be addressed to different persons. He sorts through them and found the one that has his name on it. With trembling hands and shaky breaths, he opened to read.Doctor Shepard. I'm sure by the time you're reading through this, that the transplant must have been a success. I have absolute faith in you, doctor and I hel

Chapter: 27.*****David banged and kicked at the door. Yelling for Raya or anyone else to open the door for him. 45 minutes later and he was still locked up in there. Frustrated and tired. Steven would be waiting for him right now. He cursed, stood up, and marched to the door, a few seconds later after kicking at the door none stop, it flew open. He picked up his phone and credit cards and walked out of the door. He was certain he wouldn't be coming back here in a long ass time. David got to the living room and found Raya crawled up in a ball on the sofa. He was too upset to stop and ask her any questions. So he went for the front door, one hand on the handle and his phone vibrated in his pocket. He swore and reached for it, an unknown caller ID. He pressed it to his ear and waited. "Who is this?" "This is Doctor Shepard, you seem to be the last person who called Steven's line."Steven? Doctor? David's heart was thundering in his chest like it would fly out at any moment."Yes, Ste

Chapter: 26.*******It's been three weeks since David got back home. The very day he came back, Raya had greeted him with the worst kind of news ever. She had told him she lost their baby. David was beyond shocked and sad. The last time he had spoken to the doctor, she did tell him that Raya was losing weight, but anything other than that was absolutely fine. The baby was fine. And now she said she lost it. He blamed himself for leaving her alone for so long, for making her worry. He blamed himself for the loss of their child. And he wanted to make it up to her. Once he returned from work, he'd stay home with her. Doing all he could to make her happy, watching her favorite shows, taking her to her favorite outing place. Raya has also been sick for a few days now, she seems to be getting these headaches frequently. He is such a bad husband to Raya, a terrible father to their dead child, the worst kind of lover to Steven, and probably the most horrible son ever. He had made mistakes, a
