Flashback : 2 months ago.
"You assholes coming or not?" Bob called. Gerard, Mikey, Ray, Frank, Xander, Tati, and Leia rolled their eyes at his impatientness.
"Yes Bob! Keep your damn pants on!" Leia shouted, while he glared. They entered the dark woods and the only sound was the crickets chirpping. Tati and Leia softly giggled as they shared a private joke. Frank felt uneasy as he walked through. He mentally slapped himself for being a wuss, but he couldn't help it. But deep in his heart, he knew that was not what was wrong. It was Xander.
The new edition to the group, of which he had become rather fond of. But being the jerk off he was, Gerard initiated a plan to officially welcome him into the group. Frank was not happy when Gerard was being a dick, but he was best friend. He had to try everything to deal with him. He could only imagine what Gerard would have him do. One thing was for sure: It would be degrading or ridiculous.
"Be careful Tati. You never know what might come out." Mikey whispered in Tati's ear, which she glared.
"Knock it off." She hissed. Mikey laughed and caught up with Ray who was walking faster than all of them. Frank almost jumped when he heard sticks crunch and snap. He looked to his left, then to his right, but nothing had been insight. The moon illuminated the woods as several stars sprinkled the sky like salt. A perfect summer night in Newark, as the wind was mild and cool.
"Not to long now." Gerard smirked menacingly. Frank's stomach had managed to swirl once more as they approached their designated spot. A place they've been going to, since they were children. All of their initials could be found on the oak tree and even alittle dab of blood to show their true sincerity to the woods.
"Remember what we talked about. If one of us doesn't come out alive, that person gives up their belongings, and we each get a cut." Bob giggled. Xander smiled, but it was a nervous smile, and Frank wanted nothing more then to comfort him as the night grew darker with each step they took. He shuddered, as he heard the river come into view. The fast motions of the water streaming as the current passed and passed. He knew it would be cold water, no matter how hot the sun would be. It was enough to feel like the water was jabbing you with ice picks.
Leia and Tati ran for the oak tree's long thick branch, that extended far out enough to make a seat for a person. Mikey and Ray sat down on the cold ground, while Bob and Gerard were whispering things back and forth while they smirked and snickered. Frank stood where he was not bothering to show the slightest interest of what could take place. Instead, he took the opportunity to study his new friend. Frank would be considered bi, but he seemed to like men more. Xander was lean and toned. His brown hair was a fringe, that hung on the right side of his face.
His grayish eyes sparkled in the moonlight, and the way he chewed on lipring made Frank smile. He could only hope, he'd get the chance to talk to him more, and maybe even start a relationship and what not. Frank also smiled at the thought. But when Gerard cleared his throat, his stomach became uneasy, and Frank guessed it would stay like that all night. Bob and Mikey had straightened themselves, as they waited for the big show to start.
"Well Xander, it's time to prove you really belong with us. One easy simple task and you're in. You will climb that small hill right there, and take the rope that's there. Swing from this side, all the way to the other side. And that's it. You're done." Frank's eyes bulged as the river seemed to pick up speed rapidly. Waves crashing as it rumbled. It didn't seem fair really, the rope looked as if it was not able to hold someone else's weight.
"You ready man?" Gerard smiled. Xander hesitated but nodded. He wanted to be in, and Frank wanted him too. Leia and Tati had put their heads in their palms that rested on their knees, waiting for him to start as well. Everyone's excitement level was surely increasing as Xander stood up and approached the sullen rope.
"Here I go." He smiled. Frank wondered if his attempt to be fearless was really working or secretly inside Xander was afraid of falling. Falling into the freezing river, where the current would surely swallow him. He also wondered if it was really in his head, his imagination was getting the best of him, over a guy that captured his attention nonstop.
"It's nothing man." Gerard encouraged. But Frank couldn't help but replay those words in his mind. His tone was nothing to what it should've been. It was like Gerard was flat out lying, hoping in some way Xander would really fall and meet his demise. Was he going crazy?
Xander climbed the small rope and pulled himself up as he grabbed the beige rope. With strong hands, Xander grabbed on tight and positioned himself. The swirls and swishes of the water filled everyone ears, and they swore all they needed was 'suspense' music to lighten the mood.
Frank watched Xander take several deep breaths before taking the big plunge, and flinging his body towards the other side. Frank gasped as Xander swung to the other side, but was too late to jump so he swung back to gain some more momentum. But with that, Frank heard the worst sound he's ever heard. The ripping of the rope, and one quick motion. The rope snapped, sending Xander falling down and down into the cold abyss. He swore he heard a snap and Frank jumped up, as did everyone else. Gerard eyes seemed to become large, but clearly out of fear. Maybe his wish did come true.
"Someone help him! Do you see him?!" Frank shrieked while walking to the cliff and observing the rushing waters. There was no scream. There was no Xander.
"Guys what do we do? Where is he?" Leia cried.
"XANDER!" Bob called out.
"Oh god. Please tell me he's okay. I don't see him anywhere."
"I can't see anything."
"Guys there's no way he could've survived that could he?" Ray mumbled.
"Gerard? I heard a snap. It wasn't good." Frank stared directly at Gerard who was frozen where he stood. No movement in his body whatsoever.
"We have to go." He finally muttered.
"What the hell?! We can't just leave."
"Yes we can! We have to go now. There's no way he could've survived that. The current is too fast. It's impossible." Gerard said sadly. A tear slid down Frank's cheek as they did leave and never looked back at the disappearing body of his once friend. Leaving Frank to feel emotionally paralyzed.
~~
"We can never look back, do you hear me? None of us say a fucking word, under no circumstances. It was an accident. We didn't know." Gerard said harshly while they sat in Bob's car.
"What if they find him?" Leia whispered.
"Then they find him. They don't have to know we were with him."
"So we're just supposed to fucking pretend this didn't happen?!" Frank snapped.
"It was a fucking accident Frank. We didn't know it would break. Not a word Iero. I swear to fucking God, no one better say a word about this.
Who knows what they could do to us."
"Gerard, we can't just-"
"I said not a damn word! If anyone says anything I will murder you. I'm not even fucking close to kidding."

He looked around him and frowned. Leia and Tati were crying, and Bob was looking down. Gerard put his sunglasses on and Mikey hugged himself, while Ray didn't move at all. They all felt the same way. Guilty. Frank blamed himself for not stopping it. He blamed himself for not speaking up. And he blamed for himself for the fact, that the headstone had no body in there. Xander was never found. And it was all their fault. They didn't mean for it to happen that way. Xander's parents searched and searched, but to avail. Gerard had been right, the police ruled it as a suicide. Xander was gone, and they all knew he would not come back...or so they thought...
He smiled as he looked over at the small group in front of his headstone. Acting as if they actually cared. It was their fault in the first place. He may be in spirit, but he was back with a fucking vengeance. If he went down, they damn well better believe they were going down with him for all the shit they put him through.
"Oh my little puppets, have I got a show for you. You better fucking believe I'm the one leading it." He could see it now.
Blood..so much blood.
It's only the beginning my friends...
