Hey everyone,no,I'm not dead. [Yay,I'm not dead.]

I'm so so so so soooooo sorry for taking so long to update. And on top of that,this chapter isn't even all that intertaining. [Or at least it isn't in my opinion.]

Anyways,I hope you enjoy the chapter! :)

- Two weeks later -

~ Mello's p.o.v ~

I rub my sleepy eyes as I wake up for the 14th time this night.

I keep having nightmares of when I was younger... Needless to say,those time wern't happy. At all.

I look over at the clock to see what time it is. Hopfully it is late enough for me to wake up.

6:38 am.

I guess it's not too early to get up.

I pull the blanket off of me. I stand up and walk over to the bathroom,taking my sweet time to get there. Once I'm in the bathroom,I close and lock the bathroom door.

The last thing I need is for Matt to walk in on me taking a shower. Thing were awkward between us for three days after the whole 'I-walked-in-on-him-changing' thing. I can't even begin to imagine how thing would be between us if he walked in on me in the shower. Even thought there would be the sound of water running,he probably wouldn't notice. Matt never realized a singal thing that goes on around him. Hell,there could be a god damn earthquake going on and he would just sit right though it playing on his Gameboy.

I turn the shower water on. While I wait for the water to warm up,I strip down. I feel the water with my hand.

Still a bit cold.

"Damn,how long does it take for you to warm up,stupid water!" I think to myself.

I grab a few towels off of the shelve and sit them on the edge of the sink. I feel the water again.

Nice and warm.

I get in the shower,letting the water soak every inch of my body. I look down at my arms,staring at the scars from past cuts. I grab the bar of soap and scrub my arms until I almost bleed.

I wish I could just wash the scars away ... It is something that I am very ashamed of ...

I take a deep breath and sit the bar of soap back on the small spot where it was sitting. I grab my bottle of shampoo and open it. I squeze it,the shampoo landing into the palm of my hand. I sit the shampoo back where it was,not bothering to close it. I bring my hand up to my head and rub the shampoo into my hair. I take in the dark chocolate and cherry scent that my shampoo gives.

Yea,I know. Not a very common scent that a guy would choose for his shampoo. But ya know what? I don't give a fuck.

~ Matt's p.o.v ~

I wake up to the sound of water running. I open my eyes and see that Mello isn't in his bed.

"He's probably taking a shower." I think to myself.

I sit up and feel something fall on my legs. I look at the 'Game Over' sign that is on the screen of it. I take my Gameboy off of my lap.

Great,I fell asleep playing on my Gameboy.

I click a few buttons and get back to the menu screen.

'File 1 - 82% complete'

Last night,that file was only 77% complete...

Wonderful,I was gaming in my sleep ... again.

I turn my gameboy off and sit it on my nightstand.

I hear the sound of the shower running,along with the faint sound of Mello singing.

If i'm not mistaken,I think he's singing "Born this way" by Lady Gaga... Yea. Pretty damn weird.

I hear the shower water turn off. A few moments later,Mello walks out of the bathroom,rubbing his wet hair with a towel while still wearing the same clothes he was wearing last night.

"What good does it do to take a shower if you're just going to put the same clothes that you were wearing back on?" I think to myself.

"Hey Mello,I didn't know you were a Lady Gaga fan." I say,refering to his singing in the shower.

Mello looks at me.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Mello asks.

"The singing in the shower." I say.

"Oh...I herd the song on the radio,and it was stuck in my head,and I started singing it..." Mello says a bit quietly,as if embarrassed the I had herd him,which is a bit out of character for Mello.

"And if you tell anyone about this,I swear i'll kill you." Mello says while havng a very seirous look on his face.

Ah,there we go,that's more like Mello.

"Okay,okay." I say as I hold my hands infront of me in a 'I surrender' position.

"So...What time is it?" I ask,trying to make conversation as I get out of my bed.

"7:04." Mello replies.

"...In the morning?" I ask.

"Yep ... It's not like you to wake up early." Mello says.

"Hm... That's really ... Strange."

"Hey,at least you'll get to get to pick from all the breakfast items instead of whatever's left over." Mello says.

"Yea,it would be nice to eat somthing that isn't the usual cornflakes. Not to mention,they're usually stale." I say.

Mello chuckles.

"There are usually pancakes,and sometimes doughnuts." Mello says.

"Really?" I say happily.

"Yep. Just don't the chocolate doughnut with chocolate frosting." Mello says.

"Why not?" I ask.

" 'Cuz it's mine." Mello says.

"...How did I not see that coming?" I think to myself.

"So when does breakfast start?" I ask.

"7:00 A.M,but things go fast. The kids here are like rabid animals."

I chuckle.

Mello walks over to the door.

"Well? Are you coming or not?" Mello asks.

"That stupid albino!" Mello yells as he sees Near take the last chocolate doughnut from the doughnut box.

"I have a feeling this isn't going to end well..." I mumble to myself.

"Damn right it isn't!" Mello says loudly.

"Well,just don't get me involved in any of this." I mumble as I walk past Mello and to the box of doughnuts. I grab a jelly filled doughnut.

"What? Why don't you want to help? It'll be fun!" Mello says,trying to get me to help him with whatever the hell he plans on doing.

"How will me doing whatever the hell you plan on having me do be any fun?" I ask as I walk back over to Mello,taking a bite of my doughnut while asking my question.

"It- um... Well ... er-..." Mello mumbles,trying to think of a reason why I would help him.

"Look,you don't have to do anything. All I need is an alibi." Mello says.

"So what? When Roger blames you for doing whatever the hell you did,all I have to do is say that you were somewhere with me?." I question,this time waiting until I'm done talking before I take a bite of my doughnut.

"Um... Yea,basically." Mello says.

"What's in it for me?" I ask.

There's no way in hell I'm going to help Mello when there's the possibility that he could be caught AFTER I say that he was with me,which would probably result in me losing one of my video games or gaming systems for lying ... Unless there's something in it for me.

"I'll - ... Um... Oh! I have some money stored back,We could sneek out and buy you a new video game or something." Mello says once he figures out what he could do that would actually get me to help him.

"Hm... deal." I say.

"Great. If anyone asks,i've been with you all morning." Mello says.

"Okay. By the way,just what do you plan on doing to Near?" I ask.

"You'll see." Mello says as he smirks.

"Whatever." I say as I walk back to the bedroom,taking another bite of my doughnut on my way.
