Raven-

Nathan shows up at the small fast food store, looking helpless and checking his watch more than usual, "Nathan!" I yell, and walk over to him.

His eyes widen, he tries to hide the watch, "Are you alright?" I question.

"Not really… I went and visited Chess just a little while ago…" He whispers.

"How did that go?" I'm worried about his mental state, and what Chess might have said to him.

"He's trying, he's actually trying to understand why it's sad that Alice is gone. He's even worried about me, and he said that he's happy that my OCD is getting better… Chess is getting better Raven," and he smiles wide.

I nod, "I thought he upset you," and he looks outside.

"What?" I question.

"He thinks I'm angry with him about Alice, he's hurting himself in there as well. I saw the bruises on his hands," and this worries me.

"I'll do what I can to help Nathan, but I can only do so much with Chess. You know how he is," I nod, trying to get him to understand. His red eyes glance down at the watch, and he looks towards the door.

"I'm going to go home…" He mumbles, and I just watch as he slowly makes his way out of the store, watching the ground for cracks and lines.

Adam (Absolem)-

They lead me into the cell, I see another person in as well. Teal hair, large Chelsea grin, bright teal eyes.

"Chess, this is your roommate, Adam," the officer says, and then slams the door shut.

"Hello," I smile, and he just glares.

"Oh? Nothing to say? Such a rude boy," I say, and place my things on my bed.

"You're here as well, you have no place to speak," he says with a harsh tone.

"I simply got caught, and you? Boy."

"I am too perfect to get caught, it just so happens a stupid girl got in my way. So I disposed of her properly," his grin seems wide, "I came here myself."

"Who is this boy?" I ask myself, slightly worried.

Chess-

He begins to twitch, it starts out as just his eye, but I watch as it skin begins to crawl.

"Having issues?" I question with a wide grin.

"Be quiet, it's none of your business," he snaps.

"If they come in here and catch you with that, I'm not saving your ass," I say, pointing to the cigarette he seemingly pulls from nowhere.

"I simply won't get caught," he grins back, "you would always get caught."

"Not when you're as perfect as me," I hiss.

Nathan-

I lay on my bed, listening to the ticking of the clock.

Tick tock. Tick tock.

That's the only noise that echoes in my lonely home.

My mind wanders towards Chess, I wonder what he's doing in that cell of his.

I wonder if he's hurting himself again.

"Damn," I mumble, and get up, my fingers twitch.

I check the watch, just two minutes until I'm supposed to do homework.

I can't do it.

It's too much.

I have to get him out, he was my stability.

He was the one who helped my routine.

Chess.

He made sure I wasn't over the edge.

I need him.

Chess.
