HAPPY THANKSGIVING, SPARK ARMY! If you don't know what Thanksgiving is, it's a holiday to celebrate the Native Americans teaching the pilgrims how to survive in America and stuff...Anyway, now that the history lesson's done, let's get to more important stuff. This chapter is a little bit longer for Thanksgiving, but not too much longer because it's like 11:00 and school work kept me up so I'm tired as fuck...So, ON WITH COMMENTATING WITH TURKEYS...wait...I MEAN CHAPTER 14!
Deadlox's POV:
"They what?"
"I said that I think that they left us." Sky couldn't be telling the truth, but then again, this isn't the time to lie.
"Th-They couldn't have!"
"Ty, I'm sorry, but I think it's true. Jason didn't even set up a meeting with me when I went to his base. No one else came to help you, but Jason did warn me. I don't understand why they'd do this."
This can't be true! No way in hell! "Adam...It just...can't be true. We didn't do anything to them, so they don't have any reason to do anything to me."
"Ty..."
I looked to my knees, which I was now hugging. "It can't be true. I just know it. They would never..."
"I'm sorry, Ty. I'm trying to figure out why they did this, but I don't know what drove them to betraying you. I have to go. Visiting hours are almost over. Bye."Sky held back some tears as he left. I have no time to ponder on why because he said that word again.Betray. I hate that word. I hate betrayal. It brings too many memories back. Back to when I was normal. Then they called me a freak.
~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~
Third Person POV:
Ty walked down the same road he did for school. He felt especially happy today because of the one thing on his mind.
"Today is going to be a good day," Ty whispered to himself.
"Hey, you!"
"Who was that?" Ty whispered again.
"Hey!" Someone grabbed Ty's shoulder and forcefully turned him around. "What are you doing, dumbass freak? You whispering crazy shit to yourself? What a loser!"
The bully shoved Ty next to the sandbox, took the bucket full of sand, and dumped it into his hair.
"What was that for? That was unnecessary." Ty quietly said.
"It's for being a freak! Ha ha ha!"
~~~Later that day~~~
"Hey Deadlox!" said Ty's only friend, Sam. "What do you have for lunch?"
"O-Oh, um... an apple."
"Again? You've been eating apples all week!"
"Well, I really like apples." Ty said.
They enjoyed their lunch until the bully from earlier walked up to them.
"Hey dumb-ass freak! Where's your lunch? Oh that's right! You're so poor you don't even own coal!" He picked Ty up and threw him on the ground.
"Wait...is this true?" asked Sam.
"U-Um...y-yes. I'm sorry I lied about being-"
"NO!" Sam yelled. "YOU DON'T DESERVE TO TALK TO ME YOU STUPID LOW-LIFE!" He kicked Ty.
"But Sam! Just because I'm poor doesn't mean I'm any different!"
"BULLSHIT! MY MOM AND DAD TOLD ME ABOUT HOW YOU LOW-LIVES JUST WANT OUR DIAMONDS!" He punched and kicked Ty over and over. The bully joined him.
"B-But...I don't -ouch!- care -ouch!- if your -ow!- rich or not...I just -ow!- want a -ouch!- a friend."
"No one like you needs a friend." He struck Ty in the face one last time before walking away with the bully.
"Sam..." Ty was starting to cry.
Sam turned to Ty. "Forget it, Ty. You won't get our diamonds or our friendship."
"Sam I don't-"
"Shut up, you stupid low-life dumb-ass freak!"
Ty sat there, shocked. Sam had been his best friend since he began school, and now all of a sudden he turns on Ty, just because he's poor. He betrayed his trust. He betrayed their friendship. He betrayed Ty.
"Y-You..."
"Me what? You're the low-life. By the way, thank you for showing me that, Brandon."
"No problem, Sam."
"You..."
"Are you whispering to yourself?" asked Sam. Ty rushed up to him and got in his face.
"I HATE YOU! YOUR FRIENDSHIP WAS THE ONLY HAPPY THING IN MY LIFE, AND YOU JUST THREW IT AWAY JUST BECAUSE I COULDN'T OWN A FUCKING DIAMOND! WHAT WAS OUR FRIENDSHIP WORTH IF YOU JUST CARE IF I'M RICH OR NOT, YOU STUPID SNOBBY BASTARD! FUCK YOU, SAM! FUCK YOU, BRAN-DICK! YOU SHOULD ALL JUST DIE!"
"SUCK IT UP! It's not like you have to deal with financial issues all the time! Owning half the city isn't easy, you know!"
"SAM, YOU ARE A SNOBBY CONCEITED BASTARD! SINCE YOU LOVE LISTENING TO YOURSELF TALK ALL THE TIME, I'M SURPRISED THAT YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH WORDS CAN HURT!"
"Words can't possibly hurt that much. They're just words." said Brandon.
"THEY CAN HURT THIS MUCH!" Ty punched Sam in the face as hard as possible, which gave him a nose bleed and a black eye. Ty ran and ran. He ran across streets. He ran around people. He ran pass the police. He ran to his dirt screamed and took the nearest object and threw it. He destroyed everything in his house. When he was done, he found a shard of glass and started to cut himself.
~~~~~~End of flashback~~~~~~
So many memories. That was just a small taste of what happened throughout his life. It all happened because his friend betrayed him. Because of the bully pointing out that he was poor. Because his friend betrayed him. Because no one was there for him. BECAUSE HIS FRIEND BETRAYED HIM! ENDERLOX WAS BORN BECAUSE HIS FRIEND BETRAYED HIM! It can't EVER happen again! There's no way that the rest of them betrayed him. They wouldn't let Enderlox be born again. The thing is, they won't let Enderlox be born again. That's it. They never cared about Ty, did they?They probably just hung out with me because Adam invited them to a game.
Deadlox's POV:
They never cared about me. They just wanted to hang out with Adam. When have they ever decided to play a map with me without Adam asking them. It seems like they have more fun when I'm not there. Just like before. I've gotten nowhere in my life. Everyone must hate me. Wait...not everyone. Adam doesn't hate me. He helped me when I was near death, and now he's helping me find out what happened to our friends. He's my only friend, besides the Dead Army. The Dead Army also does deserve recognition. We fought together and fell together, now some of us will survive together. I'm not alone anymore. My life won't turn into shit again. Never again will I suffer the crap I suffered before. No longer will I have something haunting my brain and making me insane. No longer will I be depressed. I have people who support me, even near death. These people are my army. My friends. My family. The family I never had.
"Mr. Deadlox?" the nurse said.
"Yeah?"
"It's time for you to take some medicine and change your bandages." I gulped down the medicine. As she changed my bandages, I started to get sleepy.
"I see that you're sleepy, so I'll leave you alone. Oh! Before I forget, someone named Sam asked us to visit you alone tomorrow. Is that okay?"
I got tense. How could Sam have found me? Where was he all this time? Should I see him? Will he apologize? Will he try to kill me? So many questions! I don't know what to do!
"It's okay if you don't want to see him." the nurse said.
"Well...actually. I would like to see him, but on one condition."
"What might that be, Mr. Deadlox?"
"I want Sky to be here as well."
"Very well, Mr. Deadlox. Good night."
"Thanks, nurse. Good night."
