Hey, WhiteMinkle here!

This is Chapter 1 of [A Mask of Facades]!

People who have followed this story until Chapter 7 are probably confused on why this is different, well let me explain.

I have the rough draft of this book set up and written but I am still writing it on the fly, I write things that I think are interesting to the addition of the plot and overall just makes sense.

I'm doing this because of all the things I written creates too much plot holes, also my Brother's complaning about how it isn't 'Realistic' enough.

Somehow it became a realistic story. Well, here's my attempt at a story rewrite.

*Keep in mind, that the plot isn't changing, it's the interactions and how everything is looked upon.

Chapter 1 : Memories

Blank.

It hurt to think, voices echoing in my ear as I glanced at the blue sky. I wondered...am I dying?

"...att...at...MATT!" I gasped as I try to take in air, my lungs burned as smoke drifted in the sky. I looked around, red. There was no clear blue sky. Black and Red was what greeted me.

Something...something was holding my hand, and as I tilted my head to look at who's it was, her tear-striken face was what greeted me, crying as she comforted me.

"Everything's going to be okay Matt...just hold on...please.." She begged as black spots covered my vision.

Maybe she noticed it, or maybe she was just worried, but she cried harder...for me. "Please, stay strong, stay very strong, help is almost here." And as she begged for me to stay awake.

It was gone.

Blue skys was what greeted me again, and as the clouds innocently drifted by, I woke up.

It's weird.

Everything was weird, fake, as I watched all of the buildings past by. I knew I wasn't in a dream, as I felt the snow crunch under my feet, the cold air tickle my ear, and her voice telling me to stay awake.

"It's...fine." I managed to get out, my throat was dry. But why? Her head quickly snapped to my direction, tears going down the side of her face like the one In my dream. "It's not fine Matt! You need to stay awake!"

I winced in pain as her loud voice echoed in my ear, "I'm not feeling sleepy Sayori...stop shouting..." She looked worried as her footsteps quickened.

She was taking me somewhere, her home possibly, but hopefully it's not the hospital. Never really liked it.

Sayori, Sayori was a nice girl, she was one of the routes you can take in Doki Doki Literature Club, a horror game disguised as a dating sim. She was someone that knew how to make a good persona.

A happy going persona that keeps all the depression locked up into a tiny bottle until it finally breaks apart on the codic floor that is the game.

I found comfort in her touch, probably because I was freezing, but my mind can only come up with one thing as to why she was attached to me. I was...her childhood crush.

In an optimistic mindset, I was probably yeah. So lost in my own mind, I didn't even noticed that we already arrived.

*Bang* *Bang* I was honestly surprised at her strength, kind of reminding me about the buffsuki meme, the door creaked under her continuous assault but stopped when an annoyed voice echoed from inside the house.

"Okay! Okay! Wait a second! Geez..." The door opened and then 'She' was there. dressed up in a inproper business suit, she had wavy brown hair and deep blue eyes, the same as Sayori.

I smiled hesitantly, it was bad if she doubted me. She was glaring at something, above our heads but she was surprised when nothing was there.

"Huh? Was I scammed or something?" She muttered but as she looked down, I greeted with a slight wave of my hand.

"How did you injure yourself this badly?" Alice asked as she wrapped the bandages around my head, it hurt but I can't afford to flinch in pain. What if I accidentally cause her to mess up while doing it?

I wasn't able to answer, everythin was so...blank.

Sayori probably noticed my discomfort and my ability to not answer, so she answered for me. Yay!

"We were running around and he tripped on a patch of ice." She quietly whispered, Alice had a look of understanding before she shifted her look of concern onto it.

But...it looked so fake.

"Why are you kids always being so careless?" She asked, she was tempted to hit me but probably took my injury into consideration.

"It's not my fault! I couldn't see the ice!" I didn't know if I answered naturally but judging by their faces, maybe I did.

Sayori puffed up her chest as she stared me down, "Maybe this will teach you to listen to me when I warn you!"

A puzzle piece. Maybe I'll have a better chance of understanding my position. Alice sighed while watching the both of us.

Standing up, she made her way to the door. "I'll just leave the both of you here, I'll be outside smoking."

*Click*

I was left alone with Sayori, I can tell she was just acting brave in front of her mom, and as she soon as she was gone, she teared up as she glared at me, fury dancing in her eyes.

"You...you! You always do this! Why do you have to keep making me so mad all the time!?"

I honestly didn't know what to say, I knew that I was probably going to do something to make her depressed.

I mean, the clues fit enough, where was I in the original story? Am I just a side character destined to be the stepping stone on her road to suicide?

I really didn't know.

What should I say?

'Everything is going to be fine'? 'Everything is okay'? 'I'll always be there for you'? 'You'll never be alone'?

I...I didn't know.

So I watched, I watched as she let out her frustrations and anger and finally, I spoke.

"I'm sorry."

And as I watched her cry again.

I really didn't know what I was suppose to do in this fucked up world.

Extra :

For people who have been wondering where's Chapter 8, I was on my way of writing it but several situations have caused me to be unable to write it.

We are about to move apartments so we have to clean up alot of things, we dismantled a few of our stuff and we been cleaning the rooms. We should be finished in about 3 - 5 days, so chapters are more likely to be realeased after that.

Thanks for Understanding!
