【Mama, we all go to Hell. 】

HBD，Andre.

somewhere in the usa you could find andre kriegman’s brother with a small cupcake right in front of him. it has a singular candle on top of it. he lights it and then stares at the sight until there is wax all over the white icing of the sweet treat.

he’s alone in his apartment. he’s been alone for a couple days now. his mood has dropped in the days leading up to today, and he doesn’t know when it’ll ever lift again.

his parents had moved back to germany a couple years after zero day, yearning to go someplace where they aren’t ridiculed or judged. they left andre’s brother alone in the states and never looked back. sure, they call him sometimes, maybe even send over a postcard, but they’d never visit. there’s too much guilt in them to even think about that.

so here andre’s brother sits, celebrating his little brother’s birthday all alone. he wonders if anyone else is thinking of andre today. he imagines that the gabriel family probably knows that today is andre’s birthday, but he doubts they’d do anything for it. why would they? why would anyone?

he considers the questions for a while. he feels guilty for even going out and buying the cupcake mix to make the batch of treats that now sit on his kitchen counter. he only iced one, and he cried the entire time.

his brother, eternally 18, should have been 43. he knows he wasn’t present the entire time andre was alive, and he has to live with that. he has to live with the fact that his presence could have stopped a massacre from happening. all he can do now is stare at the flame of the candle in front of him.

as he blows it out, he wishes for andre to come back. he whispers a happy birthday but feels too sick to his stomach to eat the cupcake in front of him. he throws it in the trash.

Andre’s last birthday,,

He’s at Chris’s party with Cal, barely flaunting the new camcorder his parents bought him. He’s not impressed; it wasn’t the kind he wanted, but oh well.

Chris is intrigued. His own friends don’t often toy with such cameras.

Later, him and Cal plan to rain eggs upon Brad Huff’s house. That’s one of the best presents he could ask for— for this year, at least. Since he’s growing older, he isn’t gifted as heavily as he was when he was young. Yet, he greatly cherishes the letter he received from his older brother— he was quick to respond.

Everything’s normal. The moment still.

It’s like Andre’s entire existence has temporarily frozen, with 24 hours to celebrate the bright young man brought into this world nearly two decades ago. Now that his mind is preoccupied by Zero Day’s upcoming appearance, it no longer wanders to his peers or his family. He’s only really thinking about himself and Cal.

Next July, his 19th birthday isn’t celebrated. It became redundant to have even thought about the event two months in advance. Presents pre-ordered before the massacre are thrown out and left to rot in the dump. At best, he’s bathed in bouquets of flowers.

i feel like cal wears jewelry.

we all know about his prayer beads and his dogtags, but i’m talking about rings and bracelets. sure, none of them are good quality. some of his bracelets are literal rubber bands or silly bands. others are just random ones he’s collected. he wears rings on his thumbs and middle fingers. the rings absolutely turn his fingers green, but he doesn’t care. he thinks he looks cool.
