Sad but True
It Matters to Me
A/N: Hey, my loyal fans! *bows* Sorry for not updating in two days, but I was sooooo busy with all of my school work. So here is the chapter where they finally tell!!!! Yay, I am so nice that I brought it on early!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Benji kneeled down in front of his brother. /I have to tell him how I feel. If he's gay, then it'll be so much
easier to tell him the truth./ He sighed. "Joel. I have something to tell you. I love you."
"I love you, too, Benji." Joel smiled. /Way more than a brother should, but I do./
"No, that's not what I mean. Joel, this guy.....he *should* love you, like I-" Benji broke off, he couldn't do
this. It would be too hard if Joel still hated him.
"Like you what? What Benj, like you what?" His heart started to race. If Benji loved him, then they could be
together.
Benji sighed, he had to tell Joel the truth, now. "Like *I* love you. I've loved you for years, Joel, but I
couldn't tell you. I was scared." With that he ran out of Joel's room and out of the house. He got in his car
and drove. Joel would hate him! How could he not, after finding out that his brother was in love with him. Benji
started to cry.
Joel started to run after him, but Benji was out of the house before him. He fell to the floor. Benji loved him,
it wasn't a dream. He laid on the floor, waiting for Benji to come back so that he could tell him that he loved
him, too. After a few minutes, he fell asleep.
Benji was crying hard now, and it had started raining. Those things combined, he could hardly see the road. That
was why he didn't see the truck until it was too late. As the two cars collided, Benji's last thought was of his
brother's smiling face.
Joel woke up to the sound of the phone ringing.
"Hello?"
"Hi, is this Joel Madden?"
"Yeah, why? Who's this?"
"This is Dr. Watts. I'm sorry to tell you this, but you r brother's been in an accident. He was hurt pretty bad."
Joel was worried now. "How bad?"
"I'm sorry, you'll have to come to the hospital." With that, the doctor hung up. Hanging up the phone, he put on
his jacket and shoes. He went to his car and got in, then headed over to the hospital, thoughts of Benji running
through his mind. /It's my fault he's hurt. If I'd just told him first, he would still be with me! Please
God.....if you can hear me, let him be okay!/

A/N: Sad? Me too. I needed something to keep the story going, so Benji gets in an accident. Don't worry, he won't die, but he does get pretty beat up. *sigh* I just *had* to go and hurt the pretty on, didn't I? Oh well, anyways......any comments? Good or bad? Also, any song titles that I could maybe use? Just click that little review button, though it has gotten harder to do. PLEASE REVIEW MY STORY!!! *begging* Till next time....
