Chapter two: Talking you into it.
I pace in mine and Matts shared room cursing and ready to just destroy anything but refrain from it knowing it won't be worth trying to replace things in here that are precious to us except the bare parts of the walls that help keep us warm.
Matt is sitting on his bed playing his D.S.
I am telling him the story not knowing if he's actually listening or not but not caring right at this moment in time. "So you see I can't fucking do anything but ask that big headed twit for help. But I will never do such a thing!" I pace harder cursing Near's name and calling him as many bad names as I can think of in every language I am currently fluent in.
"Mello." Matt's voice says loud enough over my cursing making me stop to look at him. "You do know it's either you suck it up and get Nears help or you're being pulled out of this school for that stupid homeschooling your parents made you do before this. Do you want to be tortured there, figuratively, plus without a chance to try to beat Near or stay here and be able to try to beat Near. We both know that's your only choice to pick from. So you have to suck up your pride and get Near to help you out. Now go ask him. Tomorrow is Saturday and you have to leave Sunday afternoon to get there. I wish I could be the one to help you out in this but your parents always see through to me no matter what happens." Matt reminds me as he continues playing his D.S.
I slam my fist into a wall, almost breaking it, and snarl. "Damn it! Damn my life to hell! Asking Near for help! Damn fate to hell! Damn anything to do with this to hell!" I punch the bare part of the wall a bunch of times only feeling a little better.
"Go ask him Mello. Talk to him about it in private. You can't turn away from the fact you need his help unless you want to go back to torture school again." Matt hums.
"Thanks for rubbing that in." I growl at him and sigh in frustration.
Is God trying to torture me or something!?
"You'd better go now Mello. You know Near leaves the school after classes and comes back a minute before curfew. So unless you wanna be going through this again tomorrow hurry and go find him before he leaves." Matt insists.
I sigh and fall to my knees. "Just kill me now." I grudgingly get up and leave to go look for Near.
