The Deepest Ocean <Mature>

[Bronium 512]

Skyler smiled. Only Atropa had called him Sky. He turned around while he waited for Atropa to get dressed. As she sat down next to him he was happier than ever.

My sister is back. My sister is fucking back.

"I love you..."

He couldn't believe it. His sister said she loved him but something was off. Something in her voice. It wasn't love. It wasn't warm.

"Stay out of my business..."

What?! How...why... Stay out of my business?

Skyler was angry. "How the fuck do I stay out of your business when you're fucking trying to kill yourself? What should I just not have saved you and just waited for you to drown?" Skyler couldn't believe what he said. He apologized immediately. "I'm sorry, it's just that. Since fucking Brenden, who wasn't there by the way, came into your life it's like we changed. Tell me what I did wrong. Just tell me." Skyler was close to crying, his whole body shaking from either anger or sadness. Probably both.

He heard knocking at the door. He ignored it. He needed to know the truth. It was too late. She had already run off to the door.

It's like she doesn't even think I exist sometimes.

[Strong Hooves 289]

There she was... here goes nothing... "Uhh, hey Atropa. I, I wanted to apologize for almost knocking you over today... I think we got off on the wrong foot today. I understand if you don't want to help me out... if you want I could talk to the principle tomorrow." he noticed she looked, almost sickly, "Are... Are you alright?"

[MachineGunLola 408]

Atropa crossed her arms over her ample chest.

"Oh uh.. No, it's fine. I'll help you, I just uh.. I had a bad day.."

She blushed.

"It's been a very very bad day."

Atropa looked up at Jake, and attempted to smile.

"Anyway. See you at school tomorrow. Thanks for saying sorry."

She started to close the door.

[Strong Hooves 289]

Jake was surprised to realize he was happy she decided to help him. But when she mentioned how bad of a day she had, his concern could be seen on his face. He didn't stop the door, but managed to say "What happened? If you don't mind me asking"

[MachineGunLola 408]

Atropa glared at Jake. She'd had enough of this mushy feeling shit.

"Nothing that's any of your business. Anyway. I have to go, see you."

She slammed the door and went back upstairs, running into Skyler.

She sighed.

"Can you move, Sky?"

[Strong Hooves 289]

<well... Honestly that was better than I thought.> he thought. He turned and began to head home. It felt like this was going to be a long week.

[Bronium 512]

Skyler almost didn't reply. Almost. I can't stay mad at her. She almost killed herself , can't be a dick to her today.

"Sorry Atropa." He couldn't say anything more. Atropa didn't reply back but continued to walk to her room.

She's just having a bad day. Probably because of the dick Brenden.

Skyler made his way back to his room. Gummi was still not online. I guess she's away today.Sky felt more of a connection with Gummi in comparison to Atropa.

Gummi is at least honest about me. He has problems but at least we can talk about it. But not Atropa. She is as cold as ice.

He wished he could talk to someone, even if it was to discuss their problems. He needed human connection, even if he tried to say he didn't.

He began searching videos on youtube. Nothing much was posted beyond a Let's Play videos.

I wish Atropa would just talk to me for once. He sighed. I wish I had friends. I feel so alone...

Gummi suddenly was back online. Al right. He began chatting, and wouldn't stop talking till 3:00am the next morning.

[MachineGunLola 408]

Atropa crawled into her bed and fell asleep quickly.

 

It was dark, and there was fog all around. She could hear sounds, but they were muted, as if she was underwater.

"Maybe I'm actually dead, maybe I really did drown.." Atropa thought.

She walked along the dark road, until she heard her name being called.

She turned to look, and there was Brenden, smiling and holding a bouquet of roses out.

She ran to him and took them, smiling.

"Thank you, they're beautiful!"

Brenden smiled, and hugged her telling her he loved her.

Atropa looked up at him, and his face went from sweet to angry, and he was hitting her again.

She backed up into a corner and started crying.

Brenden pulled out a knife and began to slash her with it, spilling blood everywhere.

Atropa screamed, and she began to drown in her own blood.

 

Atropa woke up sweating.

She looked at her clock, Six-twenty AM.

Sighing, she got up to get ready for school.

Her dream left her feeling sad and scared. Her cuts stung and she felt drained.

She didn't hear Skyler getting up, but she didn't really careif he went to school or not.

She finished getting dressed, then went downstairs where she ran into Greg.

"Hey darlin'." Greg said, eyeing Atropa.

She looked down and didn't answer.

"You got some time before school. And your mama's sleepin'."

She knew what he wanted.

"Come on."

Atropa shook her head.

"I'll give you my extra car."

Atropa looked up and nodded.

"Okay.." She whispered.

She really needed that car.

Besides, if not now, he'd get her later.

[Strong Hooves 289]

Jake woke up at 6:30 that morning, his thick hair in a complete mess. He gathered his bags and grabbed a quick breakfast, eating as he walked to school. The bell had not yet rung, so he decided to sit outside, keeping an eye out for Atropa as he ate.

Mike, the new guy at school, sat next to him. He was playing with a butterfly knife. Everybody at school knew weapons are illegal at school.

[Strong Hooves 289]

Jake eyed the knife with a smile. "Cool butterfly knife dude" he said, "Hardly see those around here at all"

[Bronium 512]

Skyler woke up to a thumping.

What is going on...

He heard Greg. "COME ONE!"

I should do something about that sick bastard.

He got up and cracked his knuckles. He got up. He went to his door and turned the knob. He close his door and went back to sleep. Sky was a coward. There was nothing he could do to save Atropa. He tried to drown out the noise by debating with himself in his head. Even so, even he knew that he was just a coward. He didn't want to break his arm again. He got up to see if Gummi was online. She wasn't. He eyed his time table and saw he didn't have any classes till period 3.

I might as well sleep for a bit.

(OOC: I'm doing a dream sequence as well since everyone is doing it XD)

 

Skyler was standing in a white room. It was blinding. He tried to move but he couldn't. He was stuck.

Suddenly the room slowly transformed. Seats surrounded him, carpeting gradually rolled under him.

He was now sitting down. He was watching a movie. It was his life slowly playing out except he didn't exist. He watched as it played out. A man was eating breakfast with his mother, noticeably more healthy and more bright. His sister was smiling, a sincere smile. Everything was perfect. Sky watched and watched as Atropa grew and became the top student in her art class, how her portraits of the world sold for millions. He watched his mother living her life content, she grew into an old lady, but she talked like she was in her twenties with her whole life ahead of her. And finally there was that man. He was everywhere. Hugging Atropa as she graduated from high school. In the grave next his mother's. Life was perfect for his family.

Skyler woke up an hour later after he had began sleeping. He felt depressed. He couldn't place it but he just felt useless. Like he was a cancer on the lives of everyone around him. He eyed his monitor. Still no sign of Gummi. At least the thumping stopped.

[MachineGunLola 408]

Atropa got to drive the car to school, since it was now HER car.

It was a black BMW, and it was nice.

She locked it and ran up the steps, noticing Jake sitting with some new kid.

She sighed, looked at the time, and shrugged.

Not like she hadn't skipped school a zillion times before.

She went to the pair and bent over, snatching the knife from the new kids hand.

"You need to sharpen this. It's dull. Won't cut shit."

She handed the knife back and sat down a bit away from the two boys.

[Strong Hooves 289]

Jake gave Atropa a small smile, "Morning to you too" he said jokingly. He noticed the BMW, "Nice, that yours? How'd you manage that?"

[MachineGunLola 408]

Atropa flipped Jake off with his "morning" comment.

"Yeah, it's mine. Gre- I mean, my step dad gave it to me."

She clenched and unclenched her fist, biting her tongue.

I had to work hard to get that damn car.. It better be worth it.

She looked up at the sky, it had begun to rain.

"Fuck."

Atropa quickly got up off the grass and sat under the tree.

[RainbowDashie 767]

Nevermind what i wrote here

[Strong Hooves 289]

Jake chuckled as she flipped him off. As it began to rain, he got up and sat under the tree where Atropa was at, leaning his head against the trunk. "I thought you hated your step dad." he said quietly. Taking out his iPod as he began scrolling through songs to play.

[MachineGunLola 408]

Atopa, despite not liking people, liked sitting close to Jake. He radiated happiness and warmth.

She scooted closer.

"I- we had a bad time. He's fine."

She looked around, then back at Jake.

"What kind of music you like? Do you like Marilyn Manson?"

[RainbowDashie 767]

Mike looked over Jake's shoulder. "Nice Ipod you have there." He said "Where did you steal it?" Mike had a smirk on his face. Mike tried to show everyone not to mess with him.

[Strong Hooves 289]

Jake thought about this, he really hoped she was getting on better terms, she used to be so nice. When asked about his music, he smiled and played This is the New Shit by the requested singer. He set it to speaker as the music went on. "I may be the happiest person ever, but Marylin Manson is still my favorite. As well as Bullet for my Valentine, Rise Against, and so forth"

 

When asked by Mike about the iPod, he glared at him, he obviously didn't see he was much larger than Mike, "Back off" he said.

[RainbowDashie 767]

"Okay, okay" Mike said. "You seem like a cool guy to me. Let's hang out together, let's say... saturday at eight?" He said. Mike flipped an twisted his butterfly knife to close it."See you later. And you too lady." He said, and walked away.

[MachineGunLola 408]

Atropa squealed and clapped her hands.

"God, I love Manson. He is so amazing, and he's so sexy!!"

She rambled on for a few minutes, clapping and smiling, laughing and squealing, until she realized where she was.

"Oh.. Um, yeah.. He's cool.."

She quickly went back to her normal self, ignoring everyone.

She looked at her nails, bored.

[Strong Hooves 289]

Jake raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Okay fangirl" he joked. "Yeah, he is good, not too sure about that sexy part but that could just be me" he said with a smile. He sighed and nodded his head to the song, after a bit, he looked back at her, he couldn't help but think she was cute, even that little fangirl breakdown she had was adorable. <head out of the clouds, she doesn't like you like that> he thought to himself. The song soon ended, he handed her the iPod, "Choose whatever you wanna listen to" he told her. ((just imagine it is full of rock an metal as well as some rap, basically what I listen to))

[MachineGunLola 408]

Atropa blushed.

"F-fangirl?"

She huffed.

"I just like his music... G-god.."

She couldn't stop blushing.

Atropa noticed Jake looking at her, but didn't look back.

Fangirl.. ugh.

She sighed.

When he handed her the ipod, she looked through it, and then clapped again, quickly stopping herself.

She began playing Her Ghost In The Fog by Cradle Of Filth when the bell rang.

Atropa sighed and started to get up.

"Ugh.. I don't want to go to school."

She handed Jake his ipod back, and stood up, shaking her skirt off.

[Strong Hooves 289]

Jake was a little slower to stand up. He stretched his arms out widely, and yawned. "Neither do I." he replied, "I have too many late assignments that I haven't started yet. And my stupid homeroom teacher will blow a blood vessel if he finds out" he said with a chuckle. "God I'm such a procrastinator, that's why everyone thinks I'm dumb. But I'm really not"
