Why

Odd looked up at the friend he had had through all of the hard times. The times that seemed like there was no hope. The times where he had given up completely. Ulrich. "What is is?" Ulrich asked. Odd looked down. "Nothing, Ulrich. It's nothing," he replied. Ulrich began to stare off in the distance, his vision blurred by the downpour that was now as heavy as the drenched clothes that stuck to him. "Well, Odd," Ulrich began. "I think we should head back now. I'm pretty sure sitting on the wet ground in this kind of weather isn't the best way to stay healthy. Get up." Odd looked up at the grayish-black clouds that completely consumed the once blue sky, and simply stared at them. "No thanks, Ulrich. I'm fine. You go inside and get warm. I want to stay out here a while longer." Ulrich shrugged and began walking back towards the dorms. Odd watched Ulrich walk off into the distance. When he was sure that Ulrich was far enough away, he put his head on his knees and began to cry. "Ulrich... I know this doesn't matter to you, to Yumi, Jeremy, Aelita, or anybody else... but I love you." His hollow words echoed throughout his head, out his ear, and became lost with the sound of the rain hitting the ground. The one person he ever wanted. The one person he ever needed. He would never feel the same way towards him. "Why do I even bother?" He asked himself. "This always happens. I should know better than to fall in love... Who would like a person like me? I'm too immature. Too... there's way too many reasons to list. What's the point of this? It's never worked. I've never had someone to love... to love me back..." He cut off. He looked up at the sky, his tears mixing in with the rain and being washed away to the muddy ground below him. He slammed his fist to the ground. "Why?" he said softly as the rain poured over him. He walked back to the dorms, soaked. "Why?" he asked himself on the way back to his room. He fell onto his bed, while Ulrich stayed sleeping. He looked at Ulrich for a short while, then turned away. "Why..." he whispered as he silently cried himself to sleep.


This was just a little story... one-shot type thing. Kind of... sad. I guess. I think. Blah. I don't know, just tell me what you think.
