"Turn off the TV lads, I want to speak you for a second." William said to his sons. Adam who was actually in the other room went up to his father as did his older brother Jimmy who was previously cooking his dinner. "Come here" William said again this time gesturing a hand for his sons to come closer. "Right now listen, you mothers gone telling your sister now and I'm telling YOU now. You know every two years I go for that Biopsy, well they found I have Cancer." William saying this hushtly, with a single tear building in his eye, then looking at Adam. Adam stood there, trying to understand what he was saying with his eyes filled with question but angerand his mouth parted slightly. "Don't look at me like that" William smiled stroking the side of his sons face.
"W-w-what type?" Was the only words that Adam could even say.
"Prostate" William replied.
Turning around to go back to what his tasks and games Adam went back into the other room.
His brother continued to ask questions in Adams wake, but his words muffled with anger in Adams ears. Looking around the room and taking in one breath of air. Adam gripped the side of the table and forced him self to to burst out into tears. Still sobbing his father and brother obviously hearing went silent.
I guess knowing that you father has one of the most feared illnesses was alot to take in. The night had passed...sleepless Adam would use internet Messaging to talk to the people he loved. He loved no one as much as he loved Caroline. She was perfect. She was the first and only person he would tell about his troubles. After a sleepless night, Adam continued to live his life normally, going to school and putting ona brave face. It was in the middle of his computer class when he stumbled on the internet finding a website with a picture. It was ScreenPrint of an Email:-
"I guess now you are wondering why I did it Mom? I'm sorry it wasn't you fault. I guess I have been planning it for 6 month. I wanted to get so stuff in order first. Remember I love you and if I see Dad I'll tell him you still love him. Don't forget to tell Dan (his brother) I love him too. I was happy with what I had done with my life and I wished to end it....Malcolm"
As Adam read this he ran out the room grabbing his bag then putting his hands over his face. And the rest of the class watching, wondering if he was ill or something. Walking out of class Adam realising he was skipping school, and this was it.
As he got home he turned on the computer and sat down infront of it, and just like Malcolm he wrote and email, to be sent to his fathers office, and to his parents home email addresses. As he did that he noticed Caroline had come online.
"Hey" she said to him.
"Hey" he replied back and sending the email. "Darling...." Adam said reaching over to a Stanley knife ontop of his fathers tool box. "....I love you" SLICE. He pressed down the knife quickly moving it across his wrist. Feeling it hard to breath and shocked by the pain. Adam fell off the chairholding his wrist close to his body, the floor streamed red. As he looked back up to his computer screen....She had said back. "I love you too".......

I know we might not be altogether close.
But I want you to listen.
If you ever need to talk to someone who doesn't know anything- well, you know what I mean.
I'm here.
Always- yeah?

They're shooting stars, a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, fleeting glimpse of eternity, and in a flash they're gone....
