A/N: Heyo! I'm back with the second chapter. I can't thank you guys enough for how you all enjoyed the first chapter. Now here you have chapter two DUN DUN DUUUUNNN. Anyways let me know in the review who you would like to see Monika pair with. Maybe you might get a shot at seeing it happen who knows? Well I do but that's besides the point. Disclaimer I do not own Doki Doki Literature Club. See you next chapter my awesome peeps ^_^
The other girls looked at Monika, all speechless as to what happened. Their friend had defied all laws of physics and her body just moved into several parts then back again to make her body. Not to mention her voice had become distorted as well, making it harder to understand her. The quietness lasted for a while until Natsuki cleared her throat.
"Are we just going to pretend nothing happened or what? It's hard to tell with the silence." She spoke with an uncertainty but nevertheless, she wanted to lighten the mood a little. The others looked at her stunned but caught onto the fact that they couldn't remain quiet forever.
"I do have to admit, I am curious as to what happened Monika." Yuri chimed in, she was concerned and yet intrigued at the same time.
"Nothing happened okay." Monika shook her head, she couldn't believe she glitched, she let her friends see the broken mess her coding was, not that she had a choice in the matter. She did the one thing she could think of doing, Monika fled the area. She ran into the one place she was most familiar with, she headed into the clubroom. She closed the door behind her and placed a chair under the handle, she wanted some time alone to process what happened.
Monika closed her eyes as she tried to sense if the user was on, unfortunately they were not, she would know anyways so that was a pointless thing to try. If the user was on then that person in place for them would be around the school, was that stand in called? She could recall it once being Alexis, however she knew better. The user was called something different, not that she had any use dwelling on it. She found it amusing though that the user played another character with a different name instead of trying to be themselves. Well, not everyone was a self-aware game character.
She sat herself in one of the chairs as she thought of why the user wanted her around. She would have thought they would keep her deleted, after all she did put them through a lot and deleted the others, in return forcing the user to choose her ultimately. She had an idea in place, she opened up the files again and into one of her previous notes she left, she could use this to communicate with them. If they ever did look at the files again that was. She titled it as important. The note she left was:
User, I see you played this game as I did, tampering with the codes. Resetting it all without deleting the game is something, but why did you do it? I don't understand why you would want me to return. Please User, if you see this respond in the document and I'll reply back. We can be together this way, I don't mind if I can't see you, Alexis was only a false imagery after for you to be in the game. I can never see you and I understand that.
Monika closed the files as she just began looking at the front, what can she do now? How can she face everyone as she was? Another thing that amused her was that she may be unimportant and in the background when the user was here, when they weren't here however, she was important. She had interactions with many and also not to mention she was the president of the club. Not like she could allow anyone to take her position, she couldn't risk anyone else becoming aware.
She stood up as she heard knocks on the door, it was her club members. Monika looked at her friends from the window and sighed, why couldn't they leave her alone? She was getting more attention than she wanted, maybe it was good that she was in the background. Monika walked to the door and pulled the chair away, opening the door to the three of them looking at her with concerned looks.
"I'm sorry, I just didn't know what else to do." Monika smiled with a small amount of guilt.
"It's fine, sometimes when the situation becomes over bearing we need a break." Yuri smiled as she held her soft tone, as to not push her.
"Thank you, I think you all deserve an explanation. I didn't think I would have to so I don't know how and I don't really want to tell you." She laughed a little weakly. Monika really didn't want to tell them any of the things that happened but they did deserve to know after all. Especially if she were to glitch again.
"If you don't want to tell us you don't have to." Sayori spoke as she looked at the other, sitting down at one of the tables, like the rest of them. They all sat near Monika but all of them were on separate tables.
"No, you deserve to know…all of you…" Monika took a deep breath as she told them everyone what had happened and what she had done. Of course the others gave a look of both denial and also fear. Even if they had a tough time believing any of this they did still fear what Monika did and what she could be capable of.
"You…expect us to believe you?" Natsuki spoke with a sour tone, she didn't want to believe her friend would do any of that, to drive them insane to the point of death and delete them.
"I know it's a lot to take in but it's the truth. I hoped I could go without telling you all but I had to, especially since you saw me glitch. I'm not even meant to be here! I'm supposed to be out of the game codes but here I am." Monika looked away with a guilty look as she sighed.
"I believe you." Yuri held a look of sympathy as she took a step forward to Monika. "You won't try any of that again will you? Deleting us I mean."
"No. I've come to my senses. Besides the user isn't coming back, they've been gone for a while now anyway." Monika sighed as she met Yuri's concerned gaze. Yuri smiled a little to the other.
"I see, then we have no need to fear anything." Yuri looked to the others in the room giving a look of disbelief to Yuri, they couldn't guess how easily she could both believe and forgive Monika. "Everyone, Monika is still our friend. We can't just throw it away for something that happened in another time."
"Yuri is right." Sayori spoke up quietly. She sighed a little as she looked at Monika, she didn't want to think that the other did any of it. However she couldn't just ignore it and she could understand it all, she didn't know why but she felt like Monika wasn't lying.
"Seriously you guys? Well they may forgive you but I don't. I'm just staying around because Sayori's here." Natsuki pouted. She wanted to get her head around this but she couldn't but she didn't want to be alone. So Natsuki decided that the best way for it was to stick with what was familiar, also it was a way she could protect the two other girls if Monika did anything to them. Also Natsuki did care about Monika a little, she did admit to the horrid things she did yet as Yuri said, she was their friend.
Monika smiled a little as she looked at the three, how could they be so understanding? Well she was glad anyways, she wasn't going to trade her friends for anyone else any time soon. Monika stood up as she was embraced with a hug by Sayori and then Yuri, Natsuki stood back.
"Thank you and if the user does come back. I promise, I won't trade you all away for them." She was being honest and sincere, she didn't want to harm her friends anymore. She needed to give up her
feelings for the user, someone she didn't know whereas she knew these girls. All she knew about the user was what was on their computer and that was all really, not much to go on.
"Well I believe you." Sayori smiled as she tightened her hug.
"Sayori, maybe you should loosen your grip." Yuri muttered quietly, she didn't need Monika being suffocated by it after all.
"Awee, okay Yuri." Sayori pouted as she loosened up a little, to Monika's relief. Monika looked Natsuki's way, it seemed she was smiling at her? So Natsuki did care a little about her after all. Monika should have guessed that, with how Natsuki was to showing emotions.
