Chapter Ten — So Sad

CRY

Chapter Ten:
Note: 'WHATTTTTTTTTT?' You must be asking as you scream and punch a whole in your computer screen. People, I beg you not to damage your electronics. Your computer didn't so s**t; I did. Plot twists. I do a lot of them. ,ost of the time I just do them at opportunity; so they might seem a little excessive. Like plot twist porn. Enjoy.

March 15:
(NR 12:36 pm) "Hey. Bored. Wanna talk?"
(MA 12:40 pm) "Yeah. Sure. Anything specific you want to talk about?"
(NR 12:42 pm) "I want to find out more about you. You seem nice."
(MA 12:45 pm) "I am, at least I think. You seem nice too."
(NR 12:47 pm) "Hmm........ When's your birthday?"
(MA 12:49 pm) "January 10th. Yours?"
(NR 12:53 pm) "June 23rd. You're a Capricorn? That's nice. Favorite color? I like lilac."
(MA 12:56 pm) "Gold."
(NR 12:59 pm) "Favorite TV show?"
(MA 1:02 pm) "Too many. BBC Sherlock. Love me those cheekbones."
(NR 1:05 pm) "Dogs or cats?"
(MS 1:07 pm) "Cats. So fluffy."
(NR 1:11 pm) "Sweet. I have to go. Bye. :)"
(MA 1:13 pm) "Bye."

March 18:
(LH 4:28 pm) "How's everything going."
(MA 4:32 pm) "It's good."
(LH 4:36 pm) "That's good."
(MA 4:40 pm) "Yeah. Pretty bored."
(LH 4:45 pm) "Want to play something?"
(MA 4:47 pm) "No, I'm fine. Thanks."
(LH 4:49 pm) "That's good. I've been talking a lot to Nova bed the phone lately. She seems really happy. Like TOO HAPPY. Like unnaturally happy. What do you think they did to her at the hospital that made her so different?"
(MA 4:51 pm) "Drugs, hypnosis, surgery. Who knows?"
(LH 4:52 pm) "Hm. Have you two?"
(MA 4:55 pm) "Have we what?"
(LH 4:57 pm) "You know...??? ;) ;) ;) ;)"
(MA 5:01 pm) "She doesn't seem very keen. That's fine, though, really. I just like it when she texts me."
(LH 5:04 pm) "That's nice. She's become quite popular, even though she's not in regular school. I see her out shopping all the time with some of the annoying school people that like to a scream encouraging things at pep rallies. They seem nice. I mean, they make her happy."
(MA 5:07 pm) "That's good. I'm happy for her."
(LH 5:10 pm) "Me too, although, I'm also extremely jealous of her."
(MA 5:12 pm) "Why?"
(LH 5:14 pm) "She's just so damn happy. I wish I was that happy."
(MA 5:17 pm) "Mhhh."
(LH 5:19 pm) "What's with all the incomplete text grunts? Is that like the sound of the gears inside your head creaking when you think?"
(LH 8:49 pm) "Is it wrong that I'm jealous of Nova?"
(MA 8:59 pm) "No. Jealously is something genetically built into us as humans. In fact, probably the only reason we achieve great things is because we're jealous of other people who have them already."
(LH 9:02 pm) "Congrats, here is your Noble Prize in Sarcasm and Science Combined, now give me a real answer."
(MA 9:05 pm) "That was my real answer."
(LH 9:08 pm) "You are so abnormal."
(MA 9:11 pm) "Not extraordinary?"
(LH 9:13 pm) "No."

March 21:
(ZP 12:56 am) "sasha's pissed at you"
(MA 1:03 am) "Tell Stacey that I don't care if she's mad at me. I'm not buying and I'm not paying anything."
(ZP 1:07 am) "fine your funeral"

(SG 1:10 am) "Are you still on this ridiculous campaign of being 'clean'?"
(MA 1:15 am) "I am clean. I have a job."
(SG 1:17 am) "You hhhhaaaadddd a job, if you'll remember, working for me. The pay was good, minimal hours, free samples of product. No health insurance, mind you; probably would have been good if you did have it. Such nasty business, the one we're in."
(MA 1:19 am) "Piss off."
(SG 1:22 am) "Not a good idea to be rude to me, Love."
(MA 1:25 am) "Tell me, how are you sending texts from prison?"
(SG. 1:28 am) "Oh, that? Simple, really. Surprised you haven't figured it out yet, but then again, it's quite clever. So. Figure it out."
(MA 1:32 am) "Bribery. A well place bribe to a certain cop, and he lets you use his phone. You could have done better."
(SG 1:34 am) "I don't even get a round of applause?"
(MA 1:36 am) "Not from me."
(SG 1:38 am) "tsk tsk. capital letters aren't very proud of you..."
(MA 1:42 am) "What do you mean?"
(SG 1:46 am) "It's cleverer than that. Much, much cleverer. Yyyyoooouuuu'rrrreeee wwwwrrrroooonnnnnggggg! Figure it out."
(MA 1:47 am) "The texts?"
(MA 1:50 am) "Oh, clever."
(MA 2:13 am) "Very, very clever."
(MA 2:15 am) "And what prevents me from taking this information to the police?"
(SG 2:17 am) "Common sense (and sense of adventure!) Did you figure it out yet?"
(MA 2:19 am) "Of course."
(SG 2:22 am) "Surprised it took you so long."
(MA 2:25 am) "Would you care for me to explain it to you?"
(SG 2:27 am) "Do please go ahead."
(MA 2:30 am) "You make a call from the prison cell, have one of your goons on the other end turn it to text and send it to me. Not exactly ingenious, but I will give you points for a creative touch."
(SG 2:33 am) "Oh, please. I don't need your pity points. Good call, though. Certainly took you long enough. You're getting quite slow. Something on your mind?"
(SG 2:38 am) "Fine, then. Don't text me back. Totally not like I could kill you with one well-placed phone call."
(SG 2:46 am) "Rrrrrruuuuuudddddeeeeee......"

March 25:
(NR 11:27 am) "Hey. :)"
(MA 11:31 am) "Hi. What's up?"
(NR 11:34 am) "Nothing, just wanted to talk. Well, I guess we are texting, which is different from talking, except without all the...talking..."
(MA 11:37 am) "Yeah. What do you want to talk about?"
(NR 11:41 am) "I think I'm moving."
(MA 11:43 am) "Um, where?"
(NR 11:46 am) "I'm not sure why, but my mom thinks it would be a good idea if we moved to a bigger town, like maybe Armanobyl. And yeah, before you say anything, it is a stupid name for a town. It sounds like a combination of armadillo and Chernobyl, and that's weird, but I'm sure it's a nice place."
(MA 11:57 am) "That's nice."
(NR 12:01 pm) "Yeah, it is. I guess what I'm trying to do is move on with my life. Get a new town, a new school, new friends. It'll be good for me, I think."
(MA 12:04 pm) "That sounds nice."
(NR 12:06 pm) "Is that all you've got to say?"
(MA 12:09 pm) "What do you expect me to say?"
(NR 12:11 pm) "Beg me to stay. Say you can't live without me. I don't know. Something romantic."
(MA 12:13 pm) "Is that what you want or what you expect?
(NR 12:15 pm) "I don't know. Both."
(MA 12:16 pm) "I'm just not a romantic person. You're not even moving that far away. That's only like a 15 minute drive. Plus, we've only ever talked through texts, so it won't be that different."
(NR 12:17 pm) "I even took a test to get out of high school early and everything. I'm going to go to junior college next year and do something with my life."
(NR 12:18 pm) "You don't understand. I'm going to start over."
(MA 12:19 pm) "That means without me, right? Oh, I'm sobbing, I say sarcastically. I don't care. Go away. I don't need you."
(NR 12:22 pm) "Good. I hope you don't need me."
(MA 9:36 pm) "Good luck, Nova Remi. You deserve it.

March 26:
(MA 2:37 am) "Nova's moving."
(LH 2:39 am) "It's 2 in the morning."
(MA 2:42 am) "Yeah, I know. It's bugging me."
(LH 2:45 am) "Can't sleep?"
(MA 2:47 am) "Sort of. More like I don't want to."
(LH 2:50 am) "Please explain."
(MA 2:52 am) "More like an aversion to sleep in general, lately."
(LH 2:54 am) "You're going to need to keep explaining, cause god knows I don't know what's going on in that brilliant noggin of yours."
(MA 2:57 am) "Like... I don't want to sleep, because I know that whatever I dream about is just going to make me sad."
(LH 2:59 am) "Why?"
(MA 3:01 am) "Because for one, my dreams are worse than my reality."
(LH 3:03 am) "That's so sad."
(MA 3:05 am) "Is it?"
(LH 3:07 am) "Yes."
(MA 3:09 am) "Huh."
(MA 3:11 am) "Encouraging."
(LH 3:14 am) "I hope everything gets better."
(MA 3:32 am) "I miss her. I miss the old Nova. The one that made inappropriately bad jokes when I asked her too. This sounds bad, but she's just so damn peppy. She's lost all of what made her her. She's someone else now."
(MA 3:45 am) "I hope she's happy. You've seen her �" Does she look happy?"
(LH 3:52 am) "Yeah, for once. I'm happy for her."
(LH 4:01 am) "No. I'm not. I'm pissed."
(LH 4:04 am) "That was a lie. What kind of terrible people are we to be sad when our friend's happy?"
(MA 4:07 am) "The worse kind."
(LH 4:09 am) "I think you're sad because she's leaving you, and you want nothing more than to run into her arms and kiss her."
(MA 4:11 am) "Ew."
(LH 4:13 am) "Why are you offended by your own anatomy? Kissing' a natural part of life."
(MA 4:15 am) "Sticking your tongue inside someone's mouth is not my idea of romance."
(LH 4:18 am) "What is your idea of romance?"
(LH 4:21 am) "Is it Nova?"
(LH 4:23 am) "It's Nova, isn't it."
(LH 4:26 am) "You are so in love with her."
(LH 4:31 am) "Yes, I'm right!"
(LH 4:36 am) "That's so sad, though. If you love her, and she's leaving you."
(LH 4:39 am) "I'm sorry."
(LH 4:42 am) "Goodnight. Don't let your unrequited love bite."
(MA 5:28 am) "That is sad, isn't it?"
(MA 5:33 am) "So sad..."
