Dead and gone

[Mark Stone]

Approval ID # 7271115

Mark was lying on the cliffs by the edge enjoying the sound of the crashing sea below him and the feel of the wind in his hair. He inhaled deeply and took in the salty air. He was supposed to meeting Tyson now and was waiting for him. He was dating Shalama now which was good to take his mind of Cece but the fact that he wouldnt see her very often would make her more special to him. Although she wasnt really his type, a pretty face was all she had and that was fine with him. A nice view.

 

[Tyson Mathews]

Tyson climbed up the hill, up to the cliff edge, where he had arranged to meet Mark. He climbed with a smile on his face, as he hadn't seem Mark for ages, and hadn't had the chance to tell him about Alexia, his new crush. As Tyson spotted Mark led by the edge, he smiled the ran over to him, and jumped on top of him. "Mark, my mate, it's been ages, so don't go falling down there or anything will you?" He said, jokingly, unaware of what was to come.

 

[Mark Stone]

Mark stood up to greet Tyson when he arrived. " Nah dont worry mate my life isnt that bad." yet He added in his mind. " So whats new with you. It has been ages we have loads to talk about then." He smiled then sat down again near him. " How are things with you and Morgan? I heard you two split up. Sorry about that mate." He said with a comforting smile on hid face.

 

[Tyson Mathews]

Tyson frowned slightly when Mark mentioned him and Morgan splitting up. But a smile soon returned to his face. "Ah mate, Me and Morgan just came to an end, we never saw each other so what was the point in it eh?" Tys said, pretending not to care, but really caring inside, before he remembered about Alexia. "So yeah we finished, but I may just have a little new crush..." Tyson paused for thought. "Okay, so maybe a little more than a crush..." He said, keeping Mark in suspense.

 

[Mark Stone]

Mark nodded. He just wanted to check if they were actually over. He smiled and looked at him when he said he had a new crush. He rolled his eyes. " Wow see i never get a crush. When i think a girl is fit i date her or just get off with her. Its easy." He smiled and shrugged. " So who is it? Who is the lucky lady?" He laughed

 

[Tyson Mathews]

Tys smiled. "Well it was a while ago now." He said, looking down, and stepping around, feeling a little embarrassed. He felt like a 5 Year Old. "Her name's Alexia...and she's really nice...but she had to go back to Hogwarts..." He said, as a little frown appeared on Tyson's face.

 

[Mark Stone]

Mark frowned instantly and glared at him. " We have spoken about this Tyson. Im not letting you date Alexia. No way she is off limits, leave her alone." He stood up and looked at Tyson. " Dont even go near her with those intentions. She has a boyfriend and she likes him a lot and vice versa." He continued to scowl at his best friend

 

[Tyson Mathews]

Tyson stood up when Mark did. "Mate...stop controlling my life...who I like is up to me...not you, or anyone else...so leave it yeah." Tys said, swiftly turning away from Mark. "Don't know why I bothered even telling you in the first place mate..." Tys stopped for a second or two, and turned back towards Mark. "No, wait, I don't even know if 'mate' is the right word any more..." Tyson said, thinking over the last few meetings that he had, had with Mark, and re-considering his close friendship with him.

 

[Mark Stone]

Mark squared up. He didnt feel the same for Tyson right now. The fact he was crushing on his family was making him angry. " Im not controlling your life. But im not letting you date my family. You will have to go through me first before you even get to her. Then think of Riley and their dad. Then you have to get through her boyfriend. Besides last time i thought she wasnt even into you." He looked at him still ready to fight him at any second. He knew it would be an easy fight, Mark worked out every day and was very strong were as Tyson was unfit and a lot weaker than him.

 

[Tyson Mathews]

Tyson scowled at Mark as he began to square him up. "Mate, just cause she's family, it doesn't mean you know how she feels...your her cousin, that's it man..." And with that, Tys gave Mark a shove backwards, and continued to do so as he spoke. "She ain't your sister, and you're not her dad, cousins ain't that close mate, trust me, I have them to, and yeah I love them to pieces, but I don't know how their feeling, just like you don't know how Alexia feels about me. Shove Off It Mark." Tyson said, before giving Mark one last shove, and he made it the hardest shove yet.

 

[Mark Stone]

Mark listened to what Tyson had to say. He had no idea how close he was to Alex. They may aswell have been brother and sister. When it got to the last shove Mark punched Tyson as hard as he could in his face. " YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW CLOSE WE ARE. IM THE ONLY PROPER FAMILY SHE HAS LEFT SO YOU BACK OFF." He took a deep breath. " You know nothing about her. Whats her favoright food? Whats her favoright color? Who is her favoright brother?" He waited for a reply as he back of slightly.

 

[Tyson Mathews]

Tyson punched Mark back in the face, as he recovered from the pain of being punched. He punched him hard, bringing out a new side to Tyson, that Tys himself wasn't liking to much. "Why don't you answer those questions? Who cares what her favourite food is...or her favourite colour...I don't know and I don't care, all I care about is Alexia...maybe I'll care when I'm with her...but until then, maybe you should get out of my face." Tyson said, very confused about his feelings for anyone at this moment, before punching Mark in the face again, in the same spot as before, hoping to double the pain. Tyson then just charged at Mark, and tackled him to the ground. He started punching Mark again, this time in the chest and the face. Tyson wanted to stop, but the anger inside of him was pouring out, and he wasn't mentally able to stop himself.

 

[Mark Stone]

Mark felt the second punch that Tyson gave. The first one he could handle but the second he could feel. When Tyson tackled him down he grabbed his shirt atomaticly and pulled him down with him. He felt Tyson go over him after the punches and fell back with him. He felt the ground below him disappear and he grabbed onto the edge of the cliff which he was now hanging from. He looked down at Tys. " Mate hold onto me ok. Dont let go." He shouted then tried to pulled himself up but slipped because of the extra weight of Tyson.

 

[Tyson Mathews]

Tyson feared for his life as he clung onto Mark's legs. "Mate? You're not my mate..." Tyson said, purely out of anger, before he realised, that this wasn't the time, nor the place. "Listen I'm sorry man, it shouldn't have come to this, but my hands are getting sweaty and I can't hold onto you for much longer so you're going to have to try and climb back up with me here." Tyson said to Mark, as one of his hands slipped. Tyson quickly, returned his loose hand, firmly gripped back onto Mark's legs. He didn't want to, but Tyson couldn't but look down. "I'm sorry Mark, I'm sorry." He said, fearing for himself and his best-mate. "You can save us Mark, I know you can." He said, re-assuringly.

 

[Mark Stone]

Mark hung there unable to lift both him and Tyson up. He couldnt talk because that would use the energy that he didnt have. He tried to haul himself up again with out any success. He slipped again and held on by one hand. " Ahhhggg." He moaned and swung his hand around to keep himself up. He couldnt let go. He couldnt risk his or Tysons life. He could only keep them up, he couldnt lift tem back onto the ground

 

[Tyson Mathews]

Tyson's hands had gradually slipped down Mark's legs through sweat, and now Tyson was clinging onto to Mark's shoes. He kept desparatly trying to get his hands back up to where they were, but pure sweat wasn't allowing him to, instead he just slipped down. Tyson was loosing energy now, and one of his hands slipped off of Mark's shoe. He didn't have the energy to swing himself back round and re-grip, he would just have to hold on for dear life. But Tyson's only safe hand was beggining to slip now, and Tyson couldn't do the slightest thing about it. "Mate, I'm slipping, I can't hold it any more." He cried out, fearing for his life, before his last hand slipped from Mark's shoe, and Tyson fell from the cliff tops. His body hit the rocks at the bottom, and lay there lifeless, as he was washed in by the rough sea, before it threw his dead body around the rocks.

 

[Mark Stone]

Mark gasped when he felt Tysons hands slip from him. He looked down. " TYSON!" He hauled himself up and looked down at his dead body on the beach. He reached down and cried. " Tyson. Im so so sorry." He put his head in his hands and screamed in sadness, anger and dis-pare. Tyson had been one of the only good thing in his life and he had just killed him. Mark suddenly felt empty.
