Bart
"What?" asks Lisa and Allison in shock after I tell them all about the school teachers and Alex.
"She was acting like this last time I went to her house," Lisa says as I watch the two rattle their brains trying to figure out what's wrong with their best friend.
"Where were you too today?" They ignore the question completely. They weren't at school today which was weird considering school is like their second home.
"Oh yeah Skinner admitted to beating up Jessica and Mr Lovejoy,"
"I can't believe they let him go, what happened to Nelson and Jimbo?" I shrug my shoulders. I guess they didn't have any proof that skinner, nelson and Jimbo did it; it was too dark so the video footage was probably really crap.
"I'm not going to make it through," I was surprised to see Alex walk into my bedroom, I haven't seen her since Professor Frink took her.
"What do you mean?" Lisa asks eying the usually pretty girl who looks a mess.
"I….can't…..I want to be happy, I'll be happy if I blow my lights out" I take some time to think about what she means but Lisa and Allison obviously got it straight away after I observe their expressions.
"Don't do it, please your our best friend," Do what? What does she mean? Oh she wants to commit suicide, we didn't she just say that? Why is everyone committing suicide? This will be the three attempt; I won't let it happen…
"Wait, we can get you help, don't do anything stupid," I suddenly say as I see Allison hug her in a bear hug.
"I don't want help; look I just want to go, please don't mourn for me." Ah Fuck!!! I don't understand this, she is super rich plus she has a lot of friends and well I haven't met her family but I assume they are nice.
"Why do you want to die?" not one of Allison's best questions but maybe we can prevent this from happening, I hate the fact that this is the third time the issue of suicide has been mentioned this year. I can imagine it could have something to do with the anti-fashion school we have but I doubt that's enough for her to kill herself.

"Ok, Honey, bye, bye" I put the phone down and think about what I just heard. Marge wants to start her own restaurant; however we may need to take a second mortgage on the house. Even though we are earning $95,000 a year we seemed to be strapped for cash for some reason. I guess I have to actually wait a whole year before I can get $95,000…..
"Hey Willie, can you increase our profits more?" I ask dialling the number of his office phone.
"What? I couldn't see how I could possibly do that, however if we sell the power plant we could get around 10 million," My heart stopped, possibly due to the fact I had been eating so much fried pork ribs lately. When it started again I let out a joyful scream.
"Ok, we are selling the plant," I wonder, what kind of loser might be interested in buying a nuclear plant, probably a rich hippie that wants to shut it down.
"Ah right Homer," I guess I will need to give something to the poor Scottish man living in my son's tree house.
"Hey Kids, we are going to be filthy stinking rich," I say walking into Bart's room, it seems like all of Lisa's friends are here.
"We be little that blonde girl crying on Bart's bed," Bart gives me a weird look.
"What happened?" They explain to me about the rich bitch wanting to commit suicide.
"Oh I committed suicide once, it was fun, should do it more often"
"Dad it means she wants to kill herself," like I didn't already figure that bit out. Stupid Lisa, she is starting to nag like her mother except in a more girlish and younger voice.
"Well, of cause, little cats blow their brains out all the time," Its true too, I saw it in this documentary with Troy, the guy who married my sister in law, sick freak he is.
"In fact snowball III died once it found daddy's gun," I pat Lisa on the head, which for some reason annoys her.
"Dad do you realise how serious this is? She needs help!" Oh just shut up Lisa.
"Daddy needs help too, I lost the remote, and do you know where it is?" They sigh before I decide maybe it is best that I leave them alone.
Teenagers are complicated, they all have their problems and they can't drink them away like I can. "Hey Maggie," I walk into the room of my littlest child and I see she is crying.
"Daddy?" She looks up for the pillow her head was lying on, she looks so cute when she looks up at me and jumps up and hugs me. He is pretending like she wasn't crying, probably over her dead boyfriend, Jarred or something.
"Sweetie, I though we discussed this, Gerald is a fairy and know lives with the enchanted unicorns inside the Kingdom of fairyland." I had told her that last night when she wanted a bedtime story and I didn't want to read her one.
"I know daddy, it just hard when someone dies unexpectedly like that,"
"You will get use to it, I have had lots of friends die, the important thing is Flander's will die one day," She looks up and me confused before she smiles.
"Dad, why do you hate Flanders?" No one has asked me why I hate Flanders, the guy who I hate most of all in the whole world.
"He is too…. Nice,"
"But I thought you always said being nice is a good thing,"
"Ok, he has a funny moustache, he smells funny, his "Hiddley diddle doo" or whatever the man does is really annoying."
"But Dad is so nice he let you take so many things that you never returned, also he always gives you such nice presents."
"The man is a nut, okay?" Maggie giggles in a cute and childish way. I got to admit I almost can stand Flanders now; he has lived next to me for so long that I have gained a special tolerance for him.
"Daddy lets go some where, just me and you, the museum?" Oh great, its little Lisa all over again when she was so fascinated with that lame museum. Get over it, Dinosaurs are dead and looking at them isn't going to bring them back.
"Ok Sweetie, but you know Dinosaurs are all dead now and they are fairies too but the bad ones are in a lake of fire," She looks scared at what I said for some reason.
"Not everyone goes to Heaven?" Doesn't she listen to the sermon's Lovejoy gives every Sunday? Guess not! That's daddy's girl.
"Bad people become little red goblins with forks," She looks really terrified. Not sure why, the 8 yr old girl deserves to know about this stuff, Lisa was smarter than me when she was 8.
"But goblins are mean daddy, what if Gerald is a goblin?"
"Now sweetie, he probably isn't a goblin and if he is, then I might be joining him soon," She starts crying, I don't understand why, probably preteen issues or something.
"Homie, what did you do?" My darling wife walks in looking a little annoyed and I tell her I told Maggie about hell.
"Oh honey it is okay, don't cry, Gerald is a fairy,"
"What about dead?"
"What do you mean?"
"Will dad be a fairy too?"
"Most likely," Marge gives me a hard and evil stare.
"Do fairies and goblins live in the same place?" Dam it; I got to get her a bible for her birthday. Marge starts explaining about Heaven and hell, well Fairyland and the Lake of Fire. I decide I don't want to listen to this, I have heard it every Sunday since I was like 5.
"Hey Willie, why are you in the house?" I ask as I watch the Scottish man frantically run up the stairs.
"Someone dumped all of our uranium and carbon rods into the Springfield Lake,"
"And?" I don't get his point.
"Well it's dangerous,"
"Well fix it, out of my sight," I command my servant and he runs out of the house. I feel kind of thirsty.
"Well I'll be at Moe's,"
"No you won't!! You promised to visit your dad today," Oh yeah, I nearly forgot I have to go visit my dad. He is probably going to bore me with some stupid story that I have heard already. His stories have no point and they go on and on and he adds pointless details that no one needs to know.
"Can I come to daddy?" Maggie is begging me to visit grandpa?
"Sure honey, but be warned grandpa smells like old people." Marge groans before heading down the stairs. I definitely like depressed Marge over angry Marge.
Bart
"Your uncle did what?" The shock and disgust is obviously in Alison's voice, me and Lisa are just traumatized by what we heard.
"He…he…raped…you?" I stutter out, what a sick and twisted freak he must be to rape his niece. Alex started off by telling us her problems at school with bullies and stuff, then her problems at home with her parents who completely ignore her existence and hate her but where she ended was what shocked us the most.
"Look, none of this is your fault; don't kill yourself because of your disturbing uncle." Allison wipes the look of disgust of her face and replaces it with concern. I need to go for a walk, I need to think about this and figure out a way to help Alex.
"Where are you going Bart?" The beautiful voice of Alex questions me as I was about to leave.
"I need to go for a walk," She stands up and walks towards me, Lisa and Allison follow her.
"Ah ok?"
"Well aren't go going to go for a walk?" Alex's looks sad, really sad, but maybe I can help her by being a better friend. I sound like a girl, I shouldn't even care if she dies, right?
I start walking towards the stairs when I see Maggie pop out of her room and she walks towards us.
"Bart, if I had shot myself would I have gone to fairyland?"
"Ah what?" I question her.
"No, honey, if you commit suicide you burn in hell." Alex let out a loud scream; I could swear I heard a window or two crack. She started crying and speaking incoherently. Why did I get stuck with a sister that thinks her ex-boyfriend is a fairy and a friend who I must help before she shoots herself? I sometimes hate how things played out for me.
"Maggie, how come you're here, I though you and dad went to visit grandpa," My mum suddenly comes up the stairs.
"Yeah but after half an hour dad said it was time to leave and he told me he was going to Joe's,"
"He's at MOE'S!!! I am getting sick of his habits; he is going to die soon if he doesn't stop living like a teenager."
"Daddy's going to die?" Maggie starts crying, she has been doing that a lot but I guess it's related to the fact her boyfriend just died in a car crash. Mum looks remorsefully for her words before she says "I meant if he kept on drinking at Moe's the way he still does honey, we got to stop him."
It's nice to know dead is all we talk about lately; it's getting kind of depressing. My cell phone rings, it hasn't rung since my granddad called me and told me about him seeing Jessica. Its always bad news, its never good news, I look at the number, it's Milhouse. Well Milhouse rarely has bad news for me.
"Hey Milhouse,"
"Samantha's overdosed, come quick, please," I throw my phone to the ground and smash it pieces with my leg.
"Hey, hey, that phone was brand new Bart," my mum starts to protest. I am done with all this bad news and people overdosing and shit like that.
"What happened to Milhouse?"
"Samantha's overdosed, not my fault the hypocritical catholic was doing drugs, I am sick of all this bad news, first it was Maggie's suicide, then it was Jessica's overdose and then it was this witch shit and now its all this bullshit about Alex wanting to shoot herself, well do it don't just talk about it, just fucking do it"
Oh shit, did I really say that last bit out loud? Maggie was crying, Alex was crying and the other 3 ladies were staring at me hard. Oh fuck it; I am going to go for a little ride.
"Bart, Bart!!! GIVE ME MY KEYS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" My mum screamed it me as I jumped into her car and drove off.
Homer
"What's the problem now?" I walk into my home where Jessica and Alex are looking rather depressed.
"No one knows where Bart is, he ran off with Marge's car,"
"He did what?" When I get that boy he is going to be in so much trouble. I make my way to my car, just as I am about to get into my car I see Lisa and Marge coming home in Flander's car. There better be a good reason for that.
"Homie!!!! Bart's took my car and drove it off the edge of Springfield heights into a lake." Oh crap, the lake is contaminated.
"Is Bart still…?"
"He was rushed to Hospital; they didn't tell us anything except to come back in the morning." I run up to Willie's current home and I tell him about what happened.
"The lake beneath Springfield Height's is a river, it's a different strip of water from the Springfield Lake."
"Oh, but still, he is in a hospital in a critical situation."
"Why is everyone ending up in hospital now?"
As I re-enter my home I see a depressing sight, Marge, Maggie and Alex all were in tears, ruining my carpet, now it's all wet and Lisa and Jessica looking relatively stressed out. I think I should leave them alone. I decide to go up into my bedroom.
I don't understand why the boy would do that, did he try to kill himself? Why would he do that? I know it's like a trend now with all these emo homos that have funny hair and cut themselves but I don't think Bart would kill himself. Something's not right.
Bart
I don't want to hurt them, I need to find a way to control my anger so I decided to take mum's car. I am going to be in so much trouble when I get home, oh well at least they won't have to deal with my angry, destructive side.
I turn on the radio as I hear soft and soothing Iron Maiden songs that put my mind to ease. I didn't want to hurt them especially Alex, I love Alex, and she is such a good friend and for me to say something like that….
its all this bullshit about Alex wanting to shoot herself, well do it don't just talk about it, just fucking do it
What was I thinking, is that part of the old me trying to escape? I want to go back and apologise but I can't go back right now. I am still in a bad mood even though I am starting to think better. My car is going pretty fast, I didn't realise I was near Springfield heights. I push the brakes but they aren't working, they have been cut. Oh shit!
A/N: You guys deserved a long one, I am going to take a short break from this site due to the fact I am in a depressed state and my ideas suck during these times, just look at the last 2 chapters and this one. Is there a limit to how many chapters you can have in one story? Thanks to everyone who has read this story and/or reviewed it. I will try to write a new chapter by next week.
