Hello....old friend (Danti story)

Chapter : 18

Anti's POV

It had been a week since the death of Allen .... and it has been difficult to deal with....

The worst who were affected were of course Diana and Dark.... especially Dark. Diana never smiles like she used to, but she wants to be happy and remember her husband for good and happy reasons, not because of his death.

But Dark, Dark hadn't even come out of his home, Diana told us that he keeps his fathers mask near him at all times and never smiles and when he's in his room alone, all she can hear is crying.....

We all respect his privacy and are letting him morn... but that doesn't stop us from worrying about him.

I lay in my bed, my back against it, with my arms behind my head , just staring up at the ceiling of my room . It was quiet. Not normal for a family like mine and of our size but it was nice ....

I hear a faint tap at the door

"Come in" I say, propping myself up with my elbows, in walked in one of my older sisters Zoe

"Oh hey sis, what did you need me for? " I say, sitting cross legged on my bed

"Diana is at the door, she says she needs your help"

I rushed downstairs and to the front door, there was Diana standing just outside the door ,she looked very tired, she looked and me and smiled faintly

"Hello Anti" she said , her voice was faint.

"Hello Diana, Zoe said you needed me "

"Ahh yes , as you know Dark hasn't been taking his Father's death to well, which is understandable, and I'm worried about him , it pains a mother to see her child like this. So I was wondering, since your his best friend, if you could come over for the night and comfort him, maybe it'll help him. It'll at least do him some good."

"Of course Diana, I'd be happy to help " I say , a comforting smile on my face, she smiles back and hugs me, which I return

"I'm just gonna go get my things, I'll be right back" I rushed upstairs , quickly grabbing the things I needed and a little something special.

"He's in his room, I'll be cooking dinner , I'll call you two down when I'm done ok" I nodded and headed upstairs, towards Dark's room.

I stood inferno of the entrance of his room and took a deep breath, then exhaled. This calmed me and with that I knocked on his door lightly

"Who is it?....." a very faint deep voice asks, it sounded weak, sad and monotone at the same time

"It's me, Anti.. c-can I come in" I asked, a couple of seconds pasted before he answered

"Yea, you can come in" I smiled very lightly and then walked in. Inside was Dark on his bed, laying on his side facing the wall, hugging his Father's mask.

"H-hey Dark" I walked over, sitting on the bed just next to his back

"Hey...." there was a silence between us. During that silence I was thinking how to cheer him up . Until I realised I didn't really know how to start, how was I suppose to start helping him!?!

"Anti..." Dark's voice calling my name snapped me out of my thoughts

"Yes Dark" before anything else could happen, he shot up hugging me tightly, I was so shocked at the sudden action

"Please help me, I don't wanna be sad forever ..." he cried into my shoulder.I smiled at him and hugged back

"Don't worry bro, you won't be, this stuff unfortunately happens, but you have others to support you , like me your best bud" he smiled, faint tears still down his face and looked down at the mask

"Do you mind hanging this up there on the wall" I nodded , standing on his bed and carefully hung it up in the middle of all the other soldier things

"Wow I don't even need to stand on my bed to hang it" Dark teased

"Oh fuck you"
