Ditch

Ponyville streets, night.
Luna's moon was high in the sky, No visible clouds, all the stars sparkled for its beautiful glory. A stallion pegasus named Shadowblaze is walking in the night. Flying is pretty dangerous in the day. A favorite thing for Rainbow Dash to do but not this pegasus. He did do dangerous things once in a while but not that subject. The pegasus' red coat was barely visible as it blended in the dark. But it was more visible when he walked into a street light. Though his black hair made him look like a pony without a tail and a mane. But you couldn't see his mane with his black hoodie. He always wore the hoodie because he never really liked to show his face around anypony.
*sniffle and quiet sobs following along with glass being shattered*
The glass caught the pegasus' attention and he quickly started scanning the dark streets. Something did caught his eye. Under a street light was shattered glass and a pony's tail. The tail's color is red. Shadowblaze walked up to the tail and followed the body that belonged to the tail. A brown coated stallion pegasus with the cutiemark of a camera is lying in a ditch with tiny pieces of glass shattered all over him. Tears stained his cheeks and dirt blended with his coat. "Film Maker?" Shadowblaze asked.
The pegasus lifted his head and looked at Shadowblaze. "Hey bro. Your looking nice tonight." Film Maker replied.
"Dude, are you drunk?" Shadowblaze took a couple steps toward him and kneeled down next to Film.
"Yeah but its no biggie. I just had a-" Film's head dropped onto the ground with a thud.
Shadowblaze propped Film Maker onto his back. "Come on bro. Lets get you home."
Shadowblaze started walking down the street with Film Maker on his back. Film Maker laid on Shadowblaze's back motionless. With a few words slipping out of his mouth here and there. Tears slowly streamed down both of Film's cheeks. Silent sniffles would echo through the night. But one sentence caught Shadowblaze's attention. "I've been debating on leaving the world this evening." Film Maker said.
Shadowblaze stopped dead in his tracks and turned his head to face Film. Tears still streaming down his cheeks from his closed eyes. "What did you say?" Shadowblaze asked.
"I act all high and mighty but inside....I'm dying. I can't do it anymore. I wanna leave this world. I'm done acting so lolly dolly when I'm actually so fucking mopey dopey." Film replied. Film pushed himself off of Shadowblaze's back but ended up falling hard onto the floor. He slowly got onto his feet but fell down again. "Can't find the strength to even stand." Film chuckled to himself.
Shadowblaze kneeled down next to Film. "Come on bro. Lets get you home." Shadowblaze tried to pick up Film but he pushed Shadowblaze back. Shadowblaze fell onto his back but quickly got back up to face Film Maker. "Film Maker?"
"No. Just leave me here. Anywhere but home." Film Maker's sobs started to get louder. He tried to reduce the noise by covering his face with his hooves.
Shadowblaze covered Film Maker with his wings. "Lets try to find some place else." Shadowblaze whispered. "But right now, just let it out."
After about five minutes of crying, Shadowblaze propped Film Maker onto his back and started heading down the other end of the road. While walking, Shadowblaze started looking for empty houses. Anywhere to sleep.
Eventually, they ran into another pegasus. It was a mare. She looked at Shadowblaze with a look of confusion. "Excuse me but is he okay?" The mare asked.
"He's drunk. I'm just trying to find us a place to sleep. Don't worry about us." Shadowblaze replied.
"How old are you two?" The mare asked again.
"We're both fourteen." Shadowblaze replied.
"Why aren't you going back to your house?"
"Not the best place at the moment."
"Well if you need a place to sleep. You can just sleep in my guest room for the night."
"I couldn't accept an offer that's so generous."
"It would be no problem. Plus its nice to help those in need." The mare smiled.
"T-Thank you so much. May I ask what your name is?"
"I'm sorry. My name is Derpy Hooves and yours?"
"I'm Shadowblaze and this is Film Maker."
"I swear I didn't do it ma." Film Maker cried. "Don't yell please."
"What does he mean by that?" Derpy asked.
"I wish I knew, honestly. Whatever happened, must've been pretty bad." Shadowblaze replied.
"Well then. How about we get you back at my place so Film Maker can get some sleep?"
"That would be great." Shadowblaze smiled.
............
Derpy's house. 30 minutes later.
Derpy opened her front door and was greeted by her daughter Dinky. "Mommy your home!" The filly exclaimed.
Dinky wrapped her hooves around Derpy's neck. Derpy wrapped one foreleg around Dinky. "Hey muffin. Sorry I was late."
"Its okay mommy. As long as your home, it doesn't matter." Dinky noticed Shadowblaze standing behind Derpy. "Mommy, who are they?"
"This is Shadowblaze and that is Film Maker. They're going to sleep here for the night."
"Why is he on your back, is he okay?" Dinky asked Shadowblaze.
"He's just tired. So I carried him home." Shadowblaze replied.
"The guest bedroom is upstairs on the right." Derpy said.
"Thank you. I'll put Film to sleep." Shadowblaze said.
Shadowblaze entered the house and walked up the stairs. Then, he entered the bedroom on the right. The room wasn't much. But it was good enough. There was a queen sized bed, a nightstand, a desk and a little closet. Shadowblaze gently put Film Maker on the bed and covered him with blankets. His cheeks were damped from tears. Making a line of dark brown on both cheeks. Shadowblaze just stood there in the room, unable to comprehend the day he just had.
*knock knock*
The knocks snapped Shadowblaze out of his trance and he looked at the doorway. In the entrance was Derpy. "Is there anything you'll need?" Derpy asked.
Shadowblaze smiled. "No that won't be necessary. I'm fine." He replied.
"Okay. If you need anything, I'll be in the living room."
"Thanks but I'm just gonna go to bed so that we won't be much of a bother."
"Your not a bother. But still if you need anything, I'll be in the living room." After that, Derpy closed the door and hoof steps became faint.
Shadowblaze yawned and laid himself in the bed. And in not time, He fell asleep.
THE END.
