---------------------------------------------

Completely ignorant of the dramas unfolding at home the rescue operation had split into four groups, deciding it would be more time productive to spread out as much as possible in oreder to find Aden. The weather wasnt helping at all. The storm was vicious and unyielding, rain blurred their vision and beat down heavily on their backs. Roman, Milo and Justin had ended up in the same group, something they were all secretly glad of as it meant they felt no pressure to make small talk. Still, the silence hung heavily between them, the weight of their fears balancing precariously on each of their shoulders. For over an hour they searched, carefully combing they area looking for any sign of Aden, although these traces would be getting washed away by the rain with every minute they kept looking. So they kept their heads down and walked faster.

Justin stopped walking to wipe water out of his eyes. He was so tired and cold, his body beggin him to stop, to go home. But he mknew he wouldn't, not until Aden was found. He looked around him, through the seemingly endless expanses of bushalnd. the colours, the greens and browns, all seemed to merge together. Except...he squinted his eyes to get a better look. A flash of white...what was that? He barely dared to hope. But it looked like a trainer! He didnt hesitate for another second. He set off in the direction of the trainer, dashing over course ground as though his feet weren't even touching it, he was moving too fast. Milo and Roman noticed his sudden changed in speed and direction and hurried to follow.

Justin made it to the trainer and skidded to a sudden halt. Holding his breath he looked at the shoe and then let his eyes wander futher up, taking in the jeans, the t shirt and finally the head of his little brother. He fell to his knees beside him, relief flooding to every part of his body, overwhelming all his other emotions.

'It's him!! ITS HIM!!' he yelled ecstatically to Roman and Milo as they too dropped to their knees around the boy. They were all shcoked at his appearance, his face was deathly white, almost blue, his lips were already tinged with blue and a long red gash stretched down the side of his head, blood steadily draining into the soil beneath him. Roman gingerly reached over and checkedhis pulse, glad to find one there but not happy about the heat that was radiating off Aden's skin. It was like inside he was on fire.

'send up the flare' Justin ordered and Roman nodded. 5 minutes later a flare shot up into the darkened sky and red exploded over their heads. Justin just felt relieved that help would be with them soon.

'Just..in...' the word was spoken so softly that he almost didnt hear it over the sounds of the storm. Justin looked down in surprise at his brother, his slightly opened eyes the only indicator that he was concious.

'i'm sorry' Aden whispered.

Justin felt tears welling in his eyes, 'What for Fuss? You havent done anything.'

'Sorry...got mad...earlier...not...your fault...'

Justin recalled their argument, 'No, Aden, i'm the one who should be sorry. I shouldn't have pushed you, it wasnt my business.'

'I just...wanted...know how she felt...when she did it.' Aden whispered hoarsely, frowning slightly.

'Who?' Justin asked, genuinely perplexed.

'Mum....'

'Aden, Mum didnt kill herself. She died in a car accident, you were there.'

'Wasnt...wasnt an accident...' Aden managed to force out before beginning to gasp forf breath.

'Breathe Aden, c'mon Fuss just breathe for me!!'

But Aden couldnt and let out his last breath. he didnt take another. Instead Justin looked up at Roman and Milo in shock, and they looked back with shock as well. He couldn't quite comprehend what his brother had just told him, 'He was there...he was there...' he whispered.

10 days later

'Ashes to ashes...dust to dust...' the priest intoned as the dark wooden coffin was lowered down deeper and deeper into what seemed to Justin to be a bottomless pit. A light wind breezed through the graveyard and around all those attending the funeral. Justin looed round them and wondered how many were there because they actually cared or if they just felt bad. He mentally checked himself; these were good people and he didnt know how he could've coped without them. He looked down at Louey standing solidly by his side, resolutely refusing to cry although he knew that the moment they got home she would break down. He felt a sudden overwhelming urge to protect her and shield her from any harm. He hadnt been able to save him...but her, he could save her. He put his arm around her, drawing her in close and she leaned in to him, grateful for the feelings of comfort and security his embrace gave her. Together they watched as the coffin finally came to rest on the dirt, its final resting place. REmoving his arm from Louey's shoulder Justin knelt down and dug his hand into the mound of earth in front of the grave. curlind his hand around the earth he stood again and nodded for Louey to do the same. She did so and came to stand next to him. Together they opened their hands over the grave and let the earth fall into it, tumbling through the air to hit the coffin at the bottom. Tears stung justin's eyes and he fought to hold them back but failing miserably.

'Ashes to ashes....' he muttered. 'Goodbye Milo...i'll always love you....'
