Lifeless, Chapter 3

Definition - Dead, or apparently dead.

Cole woke up the next day, feeling like a lump. He didn't want to wake up, he didn't at all. His head ached, he felt so sick. He felt like puking, but he couldn't. Cole got up slowly, his spinning like the cups you'd find at an amusement park. Cole groaned getting on his feet. He threw his close on and left the room to go downstairs. He stared at the food that was on the table. It said Jay's cake, but Jay wouldn't notice, right?

But, Jay was now in a depressing mood always now. Jay was always silent, no jokes, no freaking out, just silence. Cole shoved the cake into his mouth, before walking out of the room. Hopefully, Jay didn't see it. What Jay does not know, won't hurt him. Right? Little did Cole know Jay was watching him the whole time. Jay just sighed and went to look in the fridge to find something else.

Cole knew Jay saw him, and boy did he feel bad. Who wouldn't? He ate the last piece of cake there was, right in front of him! And Jay never got one piece of it. Normally Cole wouldn't care, but ever since Jay has been acting weird things changed. Jay and Cole never talked, and when it did it was blunt, straight of the back. It was depressing.

Cole glanced at Jay before looking forward and quickly walking outside. Cole needed to focus on a job, not a friendship. Cole was extremely stressed out. He was just so tired Jay and the way he was acting. He didn't mean to be selfish, but he wanted the old Jay. Even if it meant having Jay flirt with Nya, and annoy the heck out of him. He'd do anything to have Jay back to his old self, he hated this new depressing Jay.

Cole stormed out of the bank. He was good enough! He was good enough to join! Just because he dropped out of his dance boarding school that didn't mean he was worthless. Cole was mad, madder then Kai is when someone hides his hair gel as a prank.

Cole was still fuming, but when he got to the monastery he went to his room and slumped on the bed. He groaned through the black bed sheets. Cole felt like crying, crying his eyes out. Cole was never an emotional person, but things can change. Cole kept his head against the sheets, groaning in annoyance. Why could everyone else get a job, but he couldn't? Was it was the way he looked? The way he acted? He wanted to know, he was so curious to find out, but you know what they say "Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back." Cole puffed his cheeks out and kept them like that. He looked like an angry ten-year-old, you could say he looked like Lloyd when he let out the serpentine when he was a 'wannabe' Lord Garmadon. One thing never escaped Cole's mind though, and that was Jay. Those shiny bright eyes that would always follow Nya around, now they were dull and blank looking into a deep unending, black abyss. Cole just had wished he could have done something to fix Jay, he wished he could do just something even if it was little.

Cole rolled himself out of bed, regretting it when his body hit the ground with a loud thump. The pain didn't really bother him since he had dealt with much worse, Serpentine, Garmadon, Overlord, Chen, Morro, you could definitely say he has been through much worse. Cole got out of bed, and went to the door, he just looked at it for awhile before actually opening it, and walking out. Cole wondered what to do next. What could he actually do? He lost his best friend, he didn't even know why either! They just both one day atop talking to each other, Cole was clueless but he bet Jay knew.

Cole was greeted by Kai by a hard slap on the back. "Cole, bro! How's it going?" Kai asked Cole rolled his eyes. "Got rejected, I don't wanna talk about it," Cole said, looking away from the hotheaded brunette. Kai put a hand to his heart trying to look somewhat offended. "I'm hurt, Cole! Anyway, would ya like to come to Skylor's Noodle Shop later?" Kai asked jumping up and down. Cole rolled his eyes, with a loud huff. "Sure, so you can flirt with Skylor, alright. What time?" Cole asked, a sharp tone found in his voice. Kai puffed his cheeks out. "HEY! I will not flirt! Kai argued back. "Be there by 5:25," Kai ordered. Kai just nodded, leaving Kai wanting to think.

Cole was running late, he fell asleep. How could cole have been so stupid!? Cole changed his clothes and headed towards the Noodle shop, as quickly as he could. He just hopes Kai wouldn't rage over this for an hour like he does with simple things. Cole darted out of the monastery. Words flooded through his head.

'I am late.'

'I am late.'

'I am so late.'

Cole rushed himself to the noodle shop, he didn't even look both ways before crossing. Why? Because he didn't even care. He had no more cares to give, they were all gone and there were no 'free' refills either. Cole was still running on his feet, he could hear his heartbeat, but did he even have a heart though? Cole had rigged breaths, he never stopped to make his on breaths even. Cole finally stopped when he saw Skylor's Noodle Shop before him. He carried himself in, but he wasn't prepared to see what he saw next.

Kai was there flirting with Skylor, but that's not what he meant. He saw Jay right across from Kai. Anger boiled in Cole's veins, Cole was mad. He was very mad, but he was also hurt.

"Kai set me up..."

Cole felt like punching something, but he didn't because he knew this wasn't the monastery, this restaurant was Skylor's. Cole took a deep breath, before sitting next to Jay without a word. 'When I see Kai by himself...' Cole thought before he heard Kai's voice. "Ya made it Cole! Jay and I thought ya stood us up! Not that I'd care." Kai said with a smirk. "Stick to what your good at Kai, you signed yourself up for Skylor, not Jay, let's keep it that way." Cole shot at him, having sass. In the corner of Cole's eye he saw Jay roll his eyes until he heard Jay voice, Jay's magnificent voice, he hadn't heard it in awhile! He thought he lost it! "Why did you bring us together, Kai?" Jay asked. "Well you see baby, I wanted to be with my friends!" Kai said, obviously flirting. Cole crossed his arms. "What about Lloyd and Zane?" Cole asked with a glare. Kai just laughed. "Well, Zane wanted to upgrade his software, and Lloyd wanted to be by himself since you two aren't here, I'm always with him because I'm bored, so he was trying to get rid of me, I think. At first, I was hurt but then I didn't care, I was about to say 'seeya!'" Kai laughed off. Cole rolled his eyes, his nails digging into his palms drawing blood.

Kai noticed and gave Cole a look. "Dude, you alright?" He asked. Cole was angry, he lost it, he lost control. His happiness was lifeless, he was lifeless, he was just like Jay. Cole flipped the table over, all the glasses on it shattered into pieces. Cole soon realized what he has done, and felt terrible for it. "I'll see you later, Kai," Cole said before darting out as fast as a bullet. Kai was in awe, and Jay was just blank, lifeless. Kai knew bringing them together was a stupid idea, how could've he been so stupid to not realize?

Cole was hurt, not physically but mentally. He was enraged, he was mad. He ruined his chance with Jay, he ruined everything with him, and now he was just laying on his head, face in his pillows fighting with himself. He wasn't crying, nor did he have depressing thoughts. He just wanted everything to be alright, he wanted to just wish it all away.

Hope you enjoyed Chapter 3, I also put some Plasma, since that is another ship I love. Prepare for another update soon! Make sure you leave a review! Thanks for reading!
