Chapter 1 - Yesterday

"Yesterday?.....as in 1 hour and 30 minutes ago?" she said looking especially furious and flabbergasted.

"But of course young ma'am, I've brought it just as you asked" I replied enthusiastically with a slight smirk.

Her face then contorted with rage brewing in her eye's.

...

"GET THE HELL OUT OF MY OFFICE!"...

Now then, my boss didn't really seem to be the type to indulge in humor as much as I do but I've always wanted to test her limits.

Obviously~ she didn't seem to like my joke this time that much...

~~~

About an hour ago I had most definitely embarrassed her during that "Oh so very important" meeting of her's. 

Bursting into a room full of some rich old dudes proclaiming if she still needed some cream for a rash would surely do that to someone!☆

The only reason she didn't fire me on the spot was because she was trying to save face in front of those old guys. but I could tell she probably wanted me miles away from her establishment the moment I had burst into that room.

Was it worth it though?

Hell Yeah!

If I could replay that beautiful scene of watching my boss's face twist in horror while those old guys immediately show faces of disdain or disgust. I would surely play it over and over again.

Serves her right for treating her employee's like trash.

~~~

Now back to what was happening in the beginning. I was called up to my boss's office just a minute ago to explain what had transpired in the meeting and regarding the cream. Thing is I had actually got her what she needed before the meeting and put it in her desk...

About 30 minutes before I burst into that meeting of her's.

If you can't see what the problem is now then you're a lost cause.

~~~

Ever since I was little I've always been quite the troublemaker, living in an urban sort of area with lots of people around me really didn't help with the unmaking of "troublemaker-ism". Not like I ever wanted to understand these sorts of people anyway. From primary school, to middle school, to high school, to college, to the countless jobs I've had within the past few years.

One thing that I could say that I have absolute confidence in.

~~~

I fucking hate Human beings.

~~~

I know, hypocritical knowing that I am one. but I'll just never understand why or how humans do what they do. 

They see someone get bullied? Most like to play the "It's not my problem game!" 

You don't like your significant other? Go see other people behind their back instead of breaking up!

Frankly, all I see is a whole lot of negatives in a world that was once beautiful. 

That is why -'as I walk down this isolated street'- I will always be...

...

'wait, where the hell am I? did I take a wrong turn somewhere or something?' I thought as I looked back and forth down an empty two way lane street.

'No parked cars, no running cars, no walking humans...' I thought as I was stopped dead in my tracks.

It was certainly odd, and suspicious.

'It is currently 3:37pm, even if this was some type of private road, which it most certainly isn't with the pretty obvious looking shops around, it wouldn't be absolutely empty.' I thought quickly looking at my watch.

As I turned around once more back to where I had came I saw somebody.

That somebody was me, or rather someone who looked similar to me.

It was like looking into a mirror except this guy has partially red hair rather than full black.

Wearing some cool ass looking black armor.

Much more built then I have ever been, Would never say that out loud though.

and he has this odd feeling about him... most likely because he's just some weirdo.

'Some type of new type of cosplay or something?' I internally thought.

"Holy shit, you look cool" I finally said out loud finally looking at his eyes.

'Ooooh, colored contacts. Don't really know if that bluish gray hue really fits that whole "Prince of Darkness" aesthetic though.

'Dude basically looks dead.' I thought finally noticing he hasn't done as much as moved an inch since I first saw him.

'Wait, is this dude here for me?' Finally noticing something was extremely off. 

This dude wasn't here the last time I looked back the way I came and it's not like he came out of some door a few steps away from me. 

'I would've heard it' I thought staring at him with a sort of growing feeling of dread.

Finally taking step back, I tripped... no I fell

I missed the floor entirely because there was no floor below me. 

I fell into a pit, a pit that was nowhere to be seen beforehand. Looking back up I saw the man at the edge of the pit. Where I just was.

The man gave me that usual look of disdain and disgust. I would even think that he'd spit down onto me if he could, but he didn't. 

'Does this dude fucking hate me?' I thought.

and that is when I finally started my long fall into the void of darkness.

~~~

'I can't breathe, rather it's hard to breathe.' I thought as my intake of oxygen seemed to increasingly get lower. 

I was no longer falling. or atleast that's what it feels like. It's more like I'm floating rather than falling. I seemed to have lost consciousness a few seconds after I first fell in to this dark abyss.

'I still don't know what's going on and I have NO FUCKING SPACIAL AWARENESS'

'Do I Even Fucking Exist?' 

'I can't see'

'Is MY arm still there!'

'I might just go crazy'

...

...

...

'Fuck, I can't even speak'

~~~

When has silence ever actually been silent? Usually it's impossible for everything to be actually silent, if it's too quiet you hear the lights humming, or you hear some ringing, or the wind...

'WHY IS IT SO FUCKING SILENT'

'I want some music...'

~~~

"Hey *****, How was your day? Y'know I haven't seen you all day! It feels like that's been the norm nowadays" She said all cheerful like.

'so annoying' I thought

"Was doing just fine until you came up to me and started talking" I said nonchalantly.

"Awww, I know you love our little talks y'know I can always tell!" She said clinging to my arm.

...

"Fuck off" I said staring straight ahead.

This girl was the most annoying thing I have ever had to deal with in high school. and most likely the reason why I am sure I hate the Human race. 

"Hey ****-..."

"Yes?" I responded.

"Wanna hang after school? I wanna show you something..." She said.

"Sure, whatever" I responded without a care in the world.

'I have nothing to do anyway' I thought to myself.

She smiled then turned away heading for her next class.

'I don't enjoy them, don't act like I do you short fuck' I thought looking at her from afar.

~~~

'cold'~~~

~~~

Standing at the schools exit, I stand waiting. 

'She takes too long' I thought looking at the semi dark clouds in the distance.

"Heyy ***--! Sorry I'm late I had something to take care of for my teacher." She said with an apologetic smile.

Looking behind her into the distance I see a group of people, sneering. Most likely making fun of her. or rather us. 

"Lets go" I said grabbing her wrist and walking out of school grounds.

"Okay!" She responded smiling bright.

'Such an idiot' I thought walking quickly.

~~~

'hate'~~~

~~~

*Afternoon trains will be slightly delayed due to maintenance on the tracks southbound*

Snapping out of my daze from walking in silence for a few minutes, I looked down next to me, seeing her fiddling with her phone.

'Wonder if she even has any friends out there.' 

"Where to?" I asked looking at her out of curiosity.

"We're going downtown, I found some cool shops that I want you to see!" She replied with a smile.

"Cool" I said dryly.

'I wonder how much longer she's can keep up with it.' I wondered

"Hey **--- . Got any new hobbies since the last time we talked?" She asked.

...

Could confidently say that was the most side eye I've ever given someone.

"Sure, I guess you could say that" I said looking back up into the distance with a slightly stuck up voice.

'Hm?' I thought as I looked back at her.

Thought I saw her recoil.

'Must've been my imagination' I denied internally.

Trains here, lets get to it.

~~~

'Darkness~~~'

~~~

'Might just be plain deja vu or I've been here before.' I said surveying the tall building and the bustling crowds of people around.

'Ugh'

"Alright let's go *----!" She said pulling on my arm, dragging me with her.

'I hate crowds' I thought.

~~~

'fuck'~~~

~~~

In the end we just went on what I would think is a normal date. Went shopping for the first hour.

Then went to the movies. Movie was heart wrenching, wonder what she thought she was gonna achieve from that sort of story.

She sure does have her fill of some "Me Lore" one thing that I like for sure is a good story. Some plot twist at the end would most likely turn any story into a good one if the plot twist is good enough...

She even talked about some stories about her supposed friends. Which I didn't really care that much about.

"How'd you like it?" She interrupted the apparent silence .

"Well I can confidently say that I enjoyed myself... Would've been better if I was by myself and without the yapping though." I said sarcastically with a smirk.

...

'The hell, am I not funny no more?' I thought as I curiously looked in her direction.

Looking down with her bangs covering her eyes she suddenly gripped my sleeve. Then pulled me aside to a nearby isolated alleyway and pushed me right up against the wall behind a dumpster covering the populated street.

'Hell' I thought to myself.

Sure she was pretty but I had no interest in that sort of thing.

"Hey wai-" before I could get that last word out I felt an impact to my gut.

"Ugh-"

Then I was knocked to the ground with a right hook to the chin.

Nearly unconscious I looked up at her. 

"Heyy I fucking saw that! Nice going on that creep Ki**a!" I heard disoriented from one side of the alleyway.

She looked down at me with a disgusted face.

"Did we really have to do that whole fucking bit with the dating? I don't get why I even have to get close to this creep at all." She said with hate. 

Within my vision I saw three other people crowding around her... or rather me.

'Fuck' I thought.

"I bet this creep really thought I was into him didn't YOU!" She said while kicking in my stomach once more.

I curled even more into a ball than I already was.

Another came up to me

"C'mon don't you think it would've been funny if he thought he had a chance?" He said gripping my hair and pulling my face to look up at his.

Meh looking face, fucking ugo

Gritting my teeth all I could do was stay silent as my stomach hurt too much to talk.

"Now did you -----?" Kiara finally said before kicking my chin and knocking me right out.

~~~

'fuck you'~~~

~~~

wait

she was talking to me

but...

what's my name?

~~~
