Odd just stared down at the river. He had been very depressed lately, ever since he got news of his mom. Who knew someone could die so quickly, without you even realizing that they were even sick in the first place. That's what happened to his mom. Apparently she had cancer, but no one knew. Not even her.
Odd remembered when Ulrich's mom had died and he was depressed for a very long time. Yumi couldn't even cheer him up. And that's saying something. He attempted suicide twice; the first time he tried to jump into the virtual sea. We all saved him before he could, we all stayed up with him comforting him. I never knew someone could cry all night, but apparently you can. At least Ulrich can.
Ulrich's second attempt was slightly more successful; we weren't there to save him. Well we were there but we couldn't do anything. It was at the pool, we were practicing diving and it was Ulrich's turn. He dived into the water. But he didn't come up. Jim dived into the water and brought up a struggling Ulrich.
"NO, Put me back! Let me die." After that little incident he had to go to counseling for an entire month. After that he went home to spend some time with his dad and brothers and sister. When I think back on it, that seems like a pretty good alternative to what I was doing right now.
He still cant believe she's gone. He only got to see her a few times a year anyway, and now he doesn't get to see her at all. Sometimes he thought life could be so unfair. First Ulrich and then him. Aelita already lost her parents and Yumi's are divorced. You must think that we have a pretty screwed up group. We do, and the whole XANA thing doesn't help either.
He sighed and got up and stretched, Ulrich had gotten back the night before and was still sleeping in his bed. For the first time in a while he hadn't heard Ulrich sobbing. Normally if he did hear that sort of thing he would get up out of bed and comfort Ulrich. But now I think Ulrich is the one that is going to be doing the whole comforting thing. Role switch.
A/N: Sorry to stop but I have a paper to finish but I will finish it in the next few days. Sorry if it was a little confusing. Hope you enjoyed the first part of it. Read & Review.
