Lifeless, Chapter 1
Definition - dead or apparently dead.
A lifeless person is someone who is dead, or apparently dead. Someone who is without life, but how could someone be lifeless and live at the same exact time? How can two people be lifeless at the same time and know each other? How can a human being survive knowing how much pressure they feel from one another. How can one feel the other's hatred towards each other?
How can they be friends?
Cole and Jay have been best friends ever since they befriended each other. The two boys went through everything together. They went through Garmadon, The Overlord, Chen, and Morro. They always had their ups and downs, but then it happened. Where the tragedy really happened. Nadakhan the gin.
The two friends became more, and more distant from each other. Jay would isolate himself, and Cole would hang out with Zane, Nya, Kai, and Lloyd. He wanted to know Jay was okay, so he ignored those feeling by hanging out with his teammates.
The two former friends became having a burning sensation inside, and a thought. "Am I giving up?"
Cole woke up snuggling his black sheets, and his pillow. He heard a smile laugh. "Kai… Let me sleep… I'm tired…" He groaned out, his head throbbing in pain. "It's time for breakfast thick head." Kai joked, with a smirk. "Okay hot head." Cole rolled out of bed. When he saw Kai pout he felt some satisfaction from the nickname.
"Go get dressed, we'll leave your breakfast out." Kai stated, before walking out of Cole's room closing the door. Cole walked to the mirror seeing his ghostly figure before him. He winced slightly out his green skin. Cole rolled his eyes. "I really do think I'd look better with my regular skin." Cole muttered.
Cole took off his clothes and put on some fresh new ones. He wore his normal gi. They never knew what was going to happen in Ninjago, because every day in Ninjago is never normal.
Cole walked downstairs and went into the kitchen. He saw his plate on the counter. "Kai said it would be on the table… What a liar." Cole said rolling his eyes.
Cole took the plate full of noodles and ate it slowly with a glass of water. Once he was finished he put his pate, and glass in the sink. Cole then went outside the bounty, seeing Kai.
"Hey Cole!" Kai called out, having a playful smirk."
Cole looked over at Kai. "Hey, Kai. What's up?" Cole asked with a slight smile.
"The sky." Kai said with a smirk, seconds after laughing. "Just kidding. I've been wondering why haven't you been with Jay? Aren't you guys best friends, or something?" Kai asked, curiously.
The question made Cole's blood go cold. He had no answer, he didn't even know how to answer. Cole just sighed. "Yeah, we've just been busy, you know?"
Kai nodded, clearly not convinced by Cole's answer, but he didn't feel like pushing Cole. "Okay then, I guess I'll be going?" Kai said questioning himself slightly. Cole nodded, and got up and walked away.
Cole sighed feeling weight on his shoulders. He had no clue why, or how, it just felt like everything that was existing was on him. Cole walked back to the bounty, and looked off the deck. It was quiet, very quiet. Cole shifted slightly, feeling eyes in him. Cole turned around, and who he saw was Jay. Jay looked at him with dull eyes, Cole gave a small smile to just see Jay walk off the Bounty. Cole sighed, and thought, 'He hates me.'
The look Jay gave him was so lifeless, and dull. It lacked in familiarity, and life. It was just blank, it was like there was no soul behind his eyes. No thought, no nothing. It was a void, unreadable.
The air was thick, and full of bitterness. Cole wanted to ignore it, ignore the thick, bitter air. Everything felt heavy. Everything felt so heavy the Master of Earth couldn't even carry. The burden was to big to hold on his shoulders.
Cole was brought out of his thoughts when he heard Lloyd. "Hey Cole! Kai said he wanted to see you, I don't know why though. He didn't tell me." Lloyd said with a smile. 'He looks like he has no worry in the world...' Cole thought. Cole shook the thought away. "Alright, do you know where Kai is?" Cole asked, a hint of curiosity in his voice. Lloyd nodded. "He's with Nya, in his room, but I think Nya left him to go to the control panel though." Lloyd explained. Cole gave Lloyd a thumbs up, before heading to Kai's room.
Cole walked to Kai's room, and gave the door a knock. Cole waited there until he heard the door click. "Kai opened the door, and waited for Cole to come in. "You needed me?" Cole asked. Kai nodded giving him a grin. "Yep." The brunette said, popping the p. Cole crossed his arms, walking inside as Kai closed the door. "So what did you need, hothead?" Cole asked with a smirk. Kai just pouted. "Well, Sensei told us while you were sleeping in that we had to get jobs for awhile." Kai explained. Cole groaned. "Seriously!? We're not even twenty, so the only jobs we'll get is probably working at a bakery!" Cole exclaimed. Kai shrugged. "It's not to bad, but you couldn't really work at a bakery since you can't cook." Kai stated bluntly.
Cole glared daggers at Kai. "I can cook! Somethings I can..." Cole muttered, still having a sharp glare. Kai shook his head. "Anyway Zane already is applying at a bakery five minutes away from here. The rest of us still don't know what to do." Kai said. Cole rolled his eyes. "Is that all?" Cole asked. Kai nodded before watching Cole walk out.
Cole groaned knowing he had to get a job. Where was he going to work? He had no thoughts about the subject of getting a had nothing. Getting a job sounded very complicated, and felt very long to get noted that you are hired. Cole had various talents, but every talent he had, you had to have a college degree to even work there.
Cole went into deep thought. How was he going to do this? What job could he even have a chance for? Working at a bakery was out of the picture, since Cole knew he was bad at cooking. Even Kai said it himself. Cole was going to listen to his head, and friends. He was going to face it, he was a terrible cook. Cole sighed in distress. He was clueless of what he was going to do. He was terrible at a good amount of things. He was bad at Singing, dancing, and cooking, and those were pretty critical things that runs through his family.
Cole shrugged at himself feeling the breeze on the back of Cole's neck, feeling the breeze sent shivers down his spine. It made him remember some things, but those are not important. Cole looked at the clock on the wall. It was getting late, so he should be going to sleep. Cole changed into his clothes, before falling into his pleasant dreams.
Don't own anything, but the plot. Well and the title picture that I added the words on. You can also find this one Quotev or Wattpad. Same name, just look the story up, don't be lazy if you want to see it on those websites.
This is not a oneshot, it is continued. BTW Everything will be slow rising, no jumping into things very quickly so this is probably going to be a long fanfiction. Hoped you liked this.
