Hollis, and Grey. 

`pit pat(Rain). It’s raining this whole story.

‘Walking down this street, I realize how much it meant to me. Our time together. All our memories.  Everything we had was here. Although they’re not here to make more.

For now...

…

Grey? Grey! Hey Grey!

Can you hear me? Grey! He’s not breathing! Wake up grey! Please! GREY!

…

"It's raining again."

‘Mom was saying something, probably bugging me about my grades again.’

‘I look around at the dilapidated house I called home. A medium sized kitchen with one big window, a faint scent of honey, and the rain hitting the roof. Lightning striking nearby. It was a day just like this one.’

Hollis.

Hollis!

Hollis, are you listening?

“Huh?... Oh, yea I’m listening.”

“Then what did I say?”

“Something about grades?”

“Well, you were paying some type of attention I see.” “Your grades are slipping Hollis; they might hold back your diploma."

"The grades aren't going anywhere mom."

“Sigh~Hollis... He’s gone and you should get over it.”

We all miss him Hollis, you-”

“Mom! “I don’t want to talk about it. Can we drop it, please?”

“We will not drop it! You’re being selfish, Hollis! Like you’re the only one who misses him. We all miss him Hollis, you must learn to let go!”

“Ok.” I got up, tired of her being so insensitive.

“Wait, Hollis, I didn’t mean it-”

“Hollis I- I'm sorry I shouldn’t have gone off the way I did.”

“Ok”

“Hollis-”

“I’m going to my room.”

“Hollis, don’t shut down on me- Hollis!”

“Hollis! Hollis please!

…

‘In my room, I take a good look at it. With a bed by the window, black curtains with grey everything, I look at the painted wall that had been once my favorite spot. The book and anime posters, from high school.’

“Grey?” Are you there?

…"I’m here, you know you shouldn’t be too hard on her Hollis-”

“You know she ever cared in the first place, Grey!” “You forgave her much too easily.”

“Sigh~ I know Hollis. You’re stressing yourself you too much, you already have to support me using your energy.”

“Are you lecturing me Grey?”

“Yes, and I’m not done so shut up.”

“But-”

“Shush! You’re an intermediate slither, which is good, and all.”

“Grey.”

However, I know it causes you strain to keep me present.”

“Grey.”

“I’m not that important Hollis, let me go-”

“GREY!”

“I’m sorry Hollis, I’m just scared for you.”

“I know Grey, but I'll be fine.” “I have you by my side, and me and you have always been together.”

“Haha, I know Hollis.” “Remember the time you licked that-”

“OK, time to go.”

“Naw don’t cut me off now.”

“Haha, very funny, now let’s create some mischief.”

“And turn the world on its head?”

“Yep, as always, they’re not ready for us.” “Oh, right, I forgot to tell you something.”

“What is it, Hollis?”

“I advanced recently, Haha.”

“Hollis! Congrats!”

“Heheh”

“What’s with that laugh?”” Hollis, you better no-”

~whoosh

“Haha, let’s go!”

“HOLLIS!?!?!”

“To be continued.”
