Façade
Chapter 4
And now here's another chapter. I'm pretty sure these new chapters are going end up being longer than the original two…

While Jack had anticipated an unfavorable answer, he hadn't expected it to have been going on that long.
"Oh my God…," Jack gasped.
Yusei looked away, clearly ashamed. The duelists then sat in silence, neither one able to speak. After what seemed like hours, it was Jack who spoke.
"You know, you can't keep doing this," Jack told him.
"I can't stop, Jack," Yusei replied.
"I won't let you keep doing this," Jack said back.
"You can't stop me," Yusei retorted.
"Try me," Jack shot back, realizing that Yusei wasn't going to be cooperative.
Yusei tried to stand up and leave, but Jack grabbed onto his arm.
"Let go of me!" Yusei yelled at him, starting to get angry himself.
"Why? So you can go cut up your skin again?" Jack bit back.
"It's none of your business what I do!" Yusei shouted.
"No sane person would let you go off alone right now!" Jack argued.
"Shut up! You don't even know if I'm going to be alone or not! You don't know anything, Jack!" Yusei screamed. "Just because we dueled together doesn't mean we're suddenly friends again!"
Shocked at what Yusei had just said, Jack froze. Yusei took advantage of this to break out of Jack's hold and storm out of his apartment. Jack shook himself out of his brief daze and tried to follow Yusei, but he was fast and made it out of the building before Jack could stop him. So, unable to do anything and worried for someone who apparently didn't see him as a friend, he went back to his apartment and locked the door.

I'm gonna be honest here. At first, I thought that Jack just stole Yusei's card and ran off to the city, which is still a jerk move, but forgivable. But once I found out that Jack had also almost caused Rally to drown, I felt that he went to far. And considering the fact that Rally was one of Yusei's friends, and Friends are pretty much the most important thing to him, he probably wouldn't forgive Jack too easily. (Seriously, what the hell, Jack? You almost killed a kid, and you're supposed to be on the good side.)
