Notes: You have to check out the artist little boots. Her song Remedy is amazing.
THIS CHAPTER HAS LOTS OF CURSING
Your name is Rose Lalonde and you don't understand your best friend at all anymore.
Kanaya Maryam was no longer an open book.
Your best friend seems to be just becoming more and more secretive. Her phone is no longer open for anyone to go through. Touch it once, and she lunges at you like a predator going after its prey. It's driving you insane to know that this Tavros guy has her wrapped around his finger. If only you knew what he looked like, how his personality was. Would he treat her right if they ever met? Long distance relationships were never the right thing to do. Your chances of meeting the person are very slim, and when you do, who knows if it will work out?
"No more poison, killing my emotion, I will not be frozen dancing is my remedy, remedy. I'll start stop praying, cos I'm not playing I'm not frozen, dancing is my remedy remedy. I'll move while you're watching me, dancing with the enemy, I've got a remedy oh a oh a oh. Move while you're watching me, dancing with the enemy, here is my remedy oh a oh a oh."
The song Remedy by Little Boots was blasting in the background as you and Kanaya talked. She seemed to be the same care-free yet proper self that you know and love, and yet at the same time she seemed to be distant. Out of reach. You don't understand why or how, but she just is. Throughout your time of talking with her, she would glance at her phone, sometimes answering to this Tavros guy, and sometimes not. She seemed to be enjoying herself.
You don't like it.
So that's when you took the chance to sneak through her phone while she was in the bathroom. You know it isn't right, but this has been getting on your nerves for so long now. Your first priority should be Jade, your new girlfriend, but no. You have to know what's going on in Kanaya's life.
[AT'] yEAH, HE'S REALLY A WEIRD GUY,
[AT'] hE SEEMS TO BE HIGH 24/7 AND YET HE IS SO SANE,
[AT'] aND SOMEHOW VRISKA AND I ARE STILL FRIENDS WITH HIM,
[AT'] hERE i'LL SHOW YOU A PICTURE OF HIM,
- adiosToreador sent grimAuxiliator [GA] a picture -
[AT'] tHIS WAS TAKEN LAST WEEK, WHEN VRISKA, GAMZEE, AND I WERE AT MY HOUSE PLAYING CALL OF DUTY,
[AT'] gAMZEE IS THE ONE WITH THE CREEPY CLOWN SMILE,
[AT'] aND YOU KNOW VRISKA OF COURSE
This was very... interesting. Tavros is a guy, and is talking about someone named Gamzee in the chat. It seems like Tavros is the guy in the wheelchair next to a.. how can you even describe her? She was attracting in a way, but at the same time she wasn't. Her wounds from whatever happened to her seemed to be a turn off, but if you cover her left side then you see a beautiful girl.
Tavros was okay, at least, Kanaya could do a lot better. He had a mohawk that seems to "man out" his boyish face, and he seems to be so innocent and pure in his wheelchair. Maybe he was using his injury to get Kanaya's sympathy?
You want to answer so badly, but if you do then Kanaya will know you've been going through her phone. You hear the sound of running water in the distance and put her phone to the side, pretending to be involved in a book you've been reading lately when she comes out.
"You are so engrossed in that book. If it's that good then I really must take it from you when you are finished with it." Kanaya states as she sits down on your bed, her hand instantly reaching out to her phone. Her jade-green eyes scanned through the texts, and they seemed to narrow in the process. She quickly types away and then sets her phone down, returning her attention to you.
This was going to be a long night.
Your name is Vriska Serket and you're in trouble.
Lately what's left of your arm has been giving you such a terrible pain that you actually went to the hospital within the last week to have it checked out. Soon enough you've been prescribed a bottle of painkillers for well, the pain obviously.
And that's exactly what you're doing now. You tap the plastic container against the palm of your human hand until three pills fell out. Quickly closing the bottle and shoving it into your pocket, you swallowed all three pills dry. Soon enough the pain will go away.
Your name is Vriska Serket and you're still in trouble.
While you were dealing with your pain, Kanaya started a chat with you and she certainly does not seem happy. Over the course of a week you two have become very close, to the point where you can be part of her family.
- grimAuxiliatrix [GA] started a chat with arachnidsGrip [AG] -
[GA] You Lied To Me.
[GA] Why Didn't You Tell Me?
[AG] W8 a minute.
Just what the fuck was she yelling at you for now? Yes you two may bicker like a married couple, but honestly. What did you do this time to get yelled at liked this?
[AG] What did I fucking lie to you about?
[GA] That Picture You Sent To Me Last Week.
[GA] How Old Is That Picture?
[GA] What Else Are You Lying About?
So that's what she was going off about. She must have looked up your name or something online to figure out that you are no longer what you looked like in that photo. What she doesn't know won't hurt her.
[AG] That was a year 8efore the accident, alright Fussyfangs? Why don't you calm down.
[GA] You Want Me To Calm Down When You've Been Hurt And I Had No Idea?
[AG] I've 8een like this since I first started talking to you. What changed now?
[GA] Everything! That's The Thing, Vriska! Everything Changes! You're close to me!
[GA] I Need To Make Sure That You Stay Safe! That You're Okay!
[AG] You're going to look out for me?
[AG] ::::/
[GA] If You Allow Me To, Then Yes.
[AG] You're hundreds of miles away from me. Give up that little fantasy, Fussyfangs.
You take a deep breath in and prepare yourself for what you're about to write next. You know you're going to regret it, but it's better to explain things in person rather than through text.
[AG] My skype name is the same as my instapic and talk.
- arachnidsGrip [AG] ceased the chat with grimAuxiliatrix [GA] -
You don't understand why Kanaya is so mad at you? Really nothing about you changed, at least, not personality wise and that seems to be what Kanaya likes about you. You annoy the hell out of her and call her all kinds of names, and yet she still talks to you. God bless her heart.
Well lets see what exactly you lied and have yet to tell her about. You're not in college anymore, you're going to have to explain your injuries, briefly mention your scars, you smoke, take too many pills once in a while, and work at a bar.
Yeah, what she doesn't know won't hurt her.
You quickly check how you look in the mirror before going to your windowsill to talk to Kanaya. The lighting was good when dangling half of your body out of the window and it seemed to hide most of your scars. At least, the ones that aren't deep.
You've been dreading the ringing sound on skype that indicates that someone is calling you, but it never comes. You don't understand why.
- grimAuxiliatrix [GA] began a chat with arachnidsGrip [AG] -
[GA] I Can't Skpye You Right Now.
[GA] I'm At Rose's House And She Thinks I'm talking To Tavros Right Now.
[GA] My Apologies.
Tch. What the fuck. You were about to giver her a real fucking touching story and here she is saying she can't talk right now. Well fuck her. You're sitting at the windowsill already, so pulling out a cigarette doesn't seem like a bad idea. And that's just what you do. Soon you were breathing in the sickly-sweet smoke while typing away to Kanaya.
[AG] Wh8tever, Fussyfangs.
[GA] You're Mad, Aren't You?
[AG] It's n8t like I was a8out to explain to y8u why I look the w8y I do.
[AG] What F8cking Ever.
[GA] You're Mad.
[AG] And the smart award g8es to Kanaya F8cking Maryam!
You don't know why this is bugging you so much. Maybe just the thought of Rose keeping Kanaya from video chatting from you just pissed you off, or maybe you were just in a pissy mood in general. You also tend to add in eights in your text when your mad or flustered, even if the 8 doesn't make sense where it's placed, which explains your text at the moment. You just thought you had to state that even though you know that about yourself.
[AG] C8ngratu-f8cking-lations.
[GA] You Are Saying Many Unneeded Curses.
[GA] And You're Being Very Sarcastic.
[AG] Do you see me c8ring right n8w?
[AG] 8h wait. You can't see me at 8ll!
[GA] Okay, Now You're Just Acting Childish!
[AG] Like I Care? H8nestly, Kanaya. I d8n't understand why I 8other with you anyway ::::/
- arachnidsGrip [AG] ceased the chat with grimAuxiliatrix [GA] -
Why are you so short tempered today? You didn't truly mean the words that you told Kanaya, but at the same time you did. Your breathing is like quick huffs of anger. You finished your cigarette almost as quickly as you lit it, and flung whatever was left out the window. You were nowhere near being done with your temper right now. You stepped back inside your apartment and grabbed the first thing closest to you, which happened to be one of the many magic eight balls you posses, and hurl it at the nearest wall.
It smashes into many broken pieces of plastic, blue dye seeping into the carpet and almost instantly staining it. Your shoulders moved up and down in sync with your panting to catch your breath.
Fuck everything.
You walk over to the victim of your temper and pick up the triangle with it's many fortunes that tend to bring you bad luck. "Will Kanaya forgive me?" You ask the piece of plastic and close your eyes, tossing it up into the air and wait a few seconds for it to land. Traces of blue dye starts to stain your hand, but like you care. Peeking your eyes open, your one good one scans for the pathetic piece of plastic. When you spot it, you read your fortune.
"Most Likely Not"
Well fuck that. Your left shoulder was burning from your robotic arm, but you didn't seem to notice it as you shook in anger. Fucking hell, what does it matter if you aren't what you used to be? You don't need that bitch to take care of you like you're charity.
The next victim of your temper is your own phone, which smashes into many pieces after connecting with the wall and clattered to the floor. Who needs that piece of shit anyway?
You storm off into your bathroom and shove aside unused and empty pill bottles, most scattering into the sink. Your hand slides across the shelf and pricks itself against the object you were searching for. A small razor blade that has done its job too many times before.
Fucking Kanaya, thinking she can just help you like you fucking need it. At least she didn't say I understand, because she damn doesn't! You press the razor against your human wrist, and just before you apply enough pressure to pierce your skin, you stop. What are you doing? Are you really letting this little thing get to you? All this stress lately seems to be building up and you just lashed out.
After a minute of just staring at the razor blade and the faint scars of other cuts, you lift the object off of your skin and place it back inside your medicine cabinet, hiding it with empty pill bottles.
You almost did it again. You almost ruined your two months of being clean all because of Kanaya. Tears welled up in your eyes, clouding your vision in the only eye you had that still works. You begin shaking again, but not from anger. No, this time you are shaking from stress and all the tears that flow down your cheeks after realizing what you've almost done.
Your name is Vriska Serket and for the first time in months, you're hysterically crying.
Your name is Kanaya Maryam and you are finally home three hours later after last talking to Vriska.
Rose has pestered you about Tavros a bit more, and you give her all the answers she needs to keep herself content for the next week until she comes up with new questions. Rose also kept you from skyping Vriska, which did seem to set her off and yet you don't know why she got so mad over that. You feel extremely guilty for not meeting to her expectations and she's probably sick of you at the moment. You decide to message Karkat incase he's heard from the newest family member.

Everyone seems to be in such a mood tonight. It's starting to get on your nerves, but you push any bad thoughts aside. You're only thoughts right now are reserved for Vriska and Vriska only.

[GA] Hello, Tavros.
[AT'] hI, kANAYA.

[GA] Possibly. Thank You For Your Answer.
[GA] My Apologies For Bothering You.
[AT'] nO PROBLEM
- grimAuxiliatrix [GA] ceased the chat with adiosToreador [AT'] -
This was becoming very frustrating. You decide to try to talk to Vriska one more time.
- grimAuxiliatrix [GA] started a chat with arachnidsGrip [AG]
[GA] Vriska
[GA] Vriska Where Are You? Are You Okay?
- arachnidsGrip [AG] has either deleted the app or has logged out, please try again later -
Try again later your ass. Why did she have to blow up at you for not being able to talk? Honestly, that girl was more confusing than a Rubix Cube.
With a loud and frustrated sigh, you toss your phone onto your bed and pinch the bridge of your nose. It seems like you'll have to go through with your usual routine and push all thoughts of Vriska to the back of your mind.
But how could you do that? The picture that Tavros sent, well... She looked broken. You've helped many people during your life so you know a broken or forced smile when you see one. And that's exactly what Vriska was doing. She was forcing her smile. Her one captivating ocean blue eye seemed dull and lifeless, and you want to find out why. You want to help her just as you do with everyone else.
Days have passed and you have still not heard from Vriska, but she's the last thing on your mind right now. Currently you were sitting in Starbucks with Rose, happily drinking your Caramel Ribbon Crunch while whispering about a rather decent hipster boy who working behind the counter. He had black hair that was slicked back, and the middle was dyed a vibrant purple color. He was also wearing large glasses that gave him his hipster look which in your fashion world that was a big no, but you can't help everyone, now can you?
"You don't recognize him?" Rose asks almost in disbelief as she adverts her lavender gaze toward the boy once more. You mentally curse at her for never taking her eyes off him. By now he knows you two are whispering about him.
"No. Why? Should I?" You ask and even though you mentally cursed at Rose, you found your jade-green eyes looking at him again.
"That's Eridan Ampora! He's like, one of the most popular and hipster kids at our college! He's pretty much a dick, but he throws one hell of a party." Rose's black lips curl up into a small smile as his amber eyes meet hers.
Great. Now they made eye contact and he was bound to come over and chat.
And that's just what happened. After he finished wiping down the counter, he took at least three strides over and stopped in front of your table with a dashing smile on his face. His accent was a bit harder to understand than yours was, so you could instantly tell he wasn't from this town. "Hello, ladies. Is there anything I can do for you?" His amber orbs flickered between your jade-green ones and Rose's lavender, and for a quick moment it seems like you had fallen under his trance. Only for a moment though.
"Hm? Oh, no thank you. You're Eridan, right? We go to the same college. I'm Kan-" You were going to finish off your introduction, but he seemed to finish it for you.
"Kanaya Maryam. Top student of regular classes and your fashion major. You're quite the talk when the conversation about who the guys want to date comes up. I am in fact Eridan Ampora. A pleasure to meet you." He extends his hand out for you which you hesitantly take. "Rose Lalonde. You were the talk too, that is, before you went lesbian on us." Eridan focuses his attention on Rose, a playful smirk forming on his face.
Rose seemed to be a bit offended by this and only glared at him as a response. Whatever smile that was on her black lips has faded almost instantly.
"Well it's great to finally personally introduce myself to you two ladies. Please, feel free to instatalk me anytime." You didn't have time to argue with him because you soon found a napkin that had his username scribbled on the front. He didn't even say goodbye.
With a loud sigh and a roll of your eyes, you look over at Rose. "You're right, he is a dick."
Your first impression of Eridan is over-confident. He thinks he's right about almost everything and pictures himself as the coolest guy in the world when he really wasn't. His username on instatalk is of no use to you.
Your name is Vriska Serket and you have a new phone. The pain in your left shoulder has also seemed to disappear thanks to the handfuls of medication you've been taking, but that doesn't matter right now. You have a new phone. You didn't realize how much you missed roleplaying until now. It's rather sad that it has taken over your life this much.
Tavros has been worrying about you to the point where he actually visited your apartment since you never answered your phone. As soon as he entered he was begging for a drink of water since he rolled himself all the way there. After watching him down two water bottles, you sit down with him, well technically he's already sitting. You proceed to explain that everything was fine, and that you just... accidentally dropped your phone out the window.
He seemed to believe it.
It was nice to have your best friend around you again. As cold as you come off toward Tavros, you appreciate him a lot and well, he's the only one who understands your physical and mental pain. You talked for hours and ended up playing many sessions of Call of Duty. It was like nothing happened in your life.
Usually you respect personal space. Someone's phone is like their wallet. Why would you go through it? But you couldn't help yourself when Tavros left his phone on your kitchen table and you saw that he had a message from that bitch. His passcode was pretty easy to figure out within the first five tries, and soon you were reading his conversation with her.
[GA] So You're Telling Me That She Is Perfectly Fine?
[GA] She Didn't Do Something Completely Idiotic?
Honestly you would strangle Kanaya through this phone if you could.
[AT'] nO, sHE SEEMS TO BE PERFECTLY FINE,
[AT'] sHE SAID THAT SHE DROPPED HER PHONE OUT HER WINDOW,
[AT'] wHICH SEEMS PRETTY ACCURATE SINCE SHE SITS ON THE WINDOWSILL AND SMOKES,
[AT'] nO WONDER WHY SHE DROPPED IT,
[GA] She Smokes?
God fucking dammit Tavros do you want to tell her everything about your fucking life?! Kanaya's not the only one who is going to be strangled!
"Hey, Vriska! Hurry up in there! The guys are getting impatient waiting on you!" You can hear Tavros call out to you from in the other room. You simply lift up a hand that he can not see and give him the middle finger while shouting in a sweet voice "I'll be there in a second!"
[AT'] yEah, hER LIFE IS HARD NOW SO ITS KINDA LIKE A PAINKILLER TO HER
[GA] May I Ask What Happened To Her? How Did She Get Like This?
[AT'] iT'S NOT MY PLACE TO TELL YOU
[AT'] bUT I'LL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THAT
[AT'] sHE REALLY MAY SEEM LIKE A TOTAL BITCH
[AT'] bUT SHE IS A GREAT FRIEND, aND ONLY MEANS WELL
[AT'] sHE SAVED MY LIFE
[GA] She Did? I Had No Idea.
[GA] She Doesn't Talk About Herself.
[GA] She Mainly Focuses Our Conversations That Are Out Of Character On Me.
[GA] You Think She'll Talk To Me Again?
"Vriska! Don't make me come and get you!" You here Tavros shout and you shut off his phone, putting it back where you found it.
Do you think she'll ever talk to me again? Tch, don't make me feel guilty, Fussyfangs. I'll talk to you when I'm ready.
For a moment you forget just why you're mad at her, but then you remember that she's going to treat you like a baby and probably find some weird ass friend in New York to take care of you. You are not a fucking charity event.
You make your way back into your living room to find Tavros grinning at you. "You ready for round five?" He asks as he tosses you your controller. Your robotic arm shoots up and catches the controller in such a badass way that you can't help, but to give him a devilish smile. "You're on."
It's a quiet night at the bar for once in your whole time of working here. You've worked here for a year. There were only two people who were catching up after so many years and were sitting at the counter while drinking a glass of beer, so you had every reason to take out your phone and log onto instatalk. You were in a pretty good mood and decide that you'll survive a chat or two. It's pretty late for you, so that one who you do not want to name is probably asleep. Less drama for you for now.

Alright that wasn't as amusing as you thought it would be. Can't you have one normal conversation these days? Honestly, how nauseating.
Your eyes scan through all of your friends once more before your eyes land on an old friend you have not talked to in so long. Time to start a chat with him.

[CT] D -} Bye
- centaursTesticle [CT] ceased the chat with arachnidsGrip [AG] -
See? Short and awkward.
Not much time has passed since when you last checked how many people were at the bar, so when you glance up you are surprised to see quite a few people at the counter that Gamzee is taking care of. After quickly apologizing to him, you help out with the rest of the orders.
Thankfully no one here seems to intend on getting drunk, so that makes your job a lot easier. Your back pocket starts buzzing like crazy as you're finishing up the orders. It becomes irritating very quickly because it was practically making your whole body vibrate. What the hell was going on now?
Sadly you can't check the cause of the buzzing because your manager has walked onto the floor to check how things are going, and you'll be fired if you're caught "slacking" on the job, so you can only wait until your time is over to go and check why your phone is going nuts.
Your name is Kanaya Maryam and you can't sleep. Your rowdy neighbor decides to throw a party late on a school night, and you're ready to throw a brick through one of their windows. Honestly, it's 2:11 am and this idiotic person just... ugh!
You don't mind being up too much though. You log onto your instatalk to find that Vriska is back and begin to spam her.

So Eridan still seems to be a dick even through chats. You better not talk to him too often. He seems like he's going to be trouble one day.
Is there anyone else you can talk to before trying to sleep again?

[GA] ...
[GA] No You Don't.
You finally shut off your phone and put it into its charger. The sounds of speakers blasting seems to quiet down a bit, as if the neighbors know you're going to try to sleep. Maybe Eridan said something about the music being too loud. Either way, you were tired enough to fall asleep right when your head hit the pillow.
A new chat starts, but you don't know that because your phone is off.

This was a pretty long chapter. Well... not really, but it was longer than the first one. Thanks for the favorites and alerts guys! Reviews are encouraging because then I know that you guys actually like the story and just, yeah.
I have to say though, I'm a lot more literate and more detailed in third person, but for some reason I just can't write this story in well... third person! I feel like I have to kinda write it like the style of homestuck. I hope you guys are okay with that.
