Well, we're back to this again! :D I may have hit repeat once or twice or a few more than that times during a certain song. You'll see which one it is.

This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arm's Race by Fall Out Boy

I am an arm's dealer

Fitting you with weapons in the form of words

And I don't really care which side wins

As long as the room keeps singing

That's just the business I'm in

Roger watched Jack kill the pig, momentarily forgetting that he was supposed to be sharpening the stick.

"Roger?"

"Sorry."

Addicted by Saving Abel

I'm so addicted to

All the things you do

When you're rollin' round with me

In between the sheets.

There were no girls on the island. Roger was eleven years old. Jack was twelve – and a half. They were ready to experiment.

Honestly, Jack would have preferred his first kiss to not be with a sociopath.

Roger couldn't have been happier. He really liked Jack. A lot.

Love Like Woe by The Ready Set

I kinda feel like it don't make

Like, like, like, like it don't make

Feel like it don't make sense

"Roger. Come here."

Roger dropped what he was doing and went to his chief's side immediately. Jack dipped his finger in the… was that blood or something? Whatever it was, he drew a line from Roger's ear to his collarbone on each side.

"There. Now you're officially my second-in-command."

Ten minutes later, Roger figured out being second-in-command didn't mean he could talk to Jack just 'whenever.'

Jack confused Roger.

Fiction by Avenged Sevenfold

Now I think I understand

How this world can overcome a man

Like a friend we saw it through

In the end I gave my life for you

"I'll take this side, you take that side," Roger said, slipping around the bush. Bill nodded and went the other way.

Roger wasn't paying attention to where he was going. A few more steps to the left and tripped, rolling down a slight incline, ramming into someone on the way.

"Roger?"

Jack.

"Roger, can you get off? You're crushing me."

Another Heart Calls by The All-American Rejects

Do you remember when we didn't care?

We were just two kids that took the moment when it was there

Do you remember you at all?

Another heart calls

Three years after the island, Jack was walking through a busy crowd, just wandering aimlessly.

A hand touched his shoulder. He involuntarily twitched and turned around. An oddly familiar face stared back.

"Jack?" he asked.

Jack blinked. It couldn't be…

"Roger?"

The face beamed. "I finally found you."

Drones by Rise Against

Deep inside these burning buildings

Voices die to be heard

Years we spent teaching a lesson

We ourselves had never learned

"It's like they're incapable of thinking for themselves," Roger reported, crouching beside a seated Jack. "I have to instruct them on everything. You should make Bill order 'm around, I don't wanna anymore."

Jack nodded. "Okay. Bill."

Roger smiled. He always got what he wanted.

Forgotten by Linkin Park

From the top to the bottom

Bottom to top I stop

At the core I've forgotten

In the middle of his thoughts

Roger scared Jack. Whether he was laughing maniacally or 'punishing' a kid – it was terrifying. The kid was terrifying. And the kid liked him.

"I think…" Jack started. Roger glanced up, an animal-like glint in his eyes. Jack swallowed. "Could you go check on… make sure Samneric are doing their job right?"

As Roger left, Jack let out a breath he didn't know he'd been holding.

The Ballad of Mona Lisa by Panic! At the Disco

She paints her fingers with a close precision

He starts to notice empty bottles of gin

And takes a moment to assess the sin she's paid for

"You're… Roger, right?" Jack was in his element. Inducting a new member into the choir was his job, and he enjoyed every minute of it.

The boy with dark hair nodded. He had dark bags under his eyes, as though he hadn't slept properly. "And you're Jack Merridew."

Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold

Dragged ya down below

Down to the devil's show

To be his guest forever

Peace of mind is less than never!

Stab, stab, stab, stab. Roger pushed the stick rhythmically down onto Si-beast's skin. He knew it was Simon. The beast wasn't real. But everyone thought it was.

Therefore, Si-beast.

Jack pulled him away after too short a time. Jack was shouting something – Roger couldn't quite make it out – and had grabbed onto his elbow.

"Dead!" Roger spat, dropping his stick and going along with Jack. A few minutes later, they were alone in the trees.

"What… what was that?" Jack asked, panting a little.

"Si-beast," Roger said plainly.

What Lies Beneath by Breaking Benjamin

Take a breath

Hold it in

Start a fight

You won't win

Roger was moody lately. The whole time he'd been on the island so far he'd been moody, actually. Always lurking in the shadows.

"Roger," Jack said. Roger looked up. "I need you for a pig hunt."

Now that Jack thought about it, Roger had always been moody.

Thanks for the Memories by Fall Out Boy

I'm gonna make it bend and break

(It sent you to me without wings)

Say a prayer, but let the good times roll

In case God doesn't show

"Kill the pig, cut her throat, bash her in…" Roger sang quietly under his breath, whittling away at the branch. There. Sharp.

"Are you done yet?" Jack asked. Roger waved the branch over his head dramatically. Jack rolled his eyes.

"Let's go kill some pigs."

The Red by Chevelle

They say freak

When you're singled out

The red

Well, it filters through

Roger did not like school. He hated it even more after the island, always restrained with clothes and rules and stupid stuff like that.

It was a different school, too. The old one had been blown up or something; Roger didn't care.

Roger had a bit of trouble in his new, perfect school. For one, he couldn't quite remember how to read or write. He remembered a bit, but he was nowhere at the level that he'd been at before the island.

The island.

Surprisingly, after the island, Roger had been deemed "sane" almost right away. Grownups couldn't believe that he'd pushed a rock on a poor, defenseless, (fat) child.

(though, really, he'd used a lever)

He recognized a few boys from the island at his new school. Robert was there. The twins were there.

All three people avoided him like he was going to kill them or something. He wouldn't kill them.

(he'd get in trouble if he did)

In fact, everyone avoided Roger. In return, Roger decided to ignore everything and everyone. His marks dropped. He was in trouble almost every day on account of "not getting his classwork done."

Roger didn't care.

And then Jack came back. But Jack was different now. He didn't care for the rules, either.

(Robert and the twins avoided him, too)

Roger talked to him a few days later. "Hey, Jack," Roger said. The ginger glanced up. His hair, though it had been cut immediately after the island, hung over his face. Roger felt his own hair. It was getting kind of long, too.

"Roger?"

Roger nodded. Jack's eyes went from confused to furious in about a second. The boy stood up and shoved Roger, hard. Roger, not expecting an attack, stumbled back a few steps and fell over.

"It's your fault! It's all your fault I have those… those nightmares every night! You're the beast! I wish you had died instead of who did!"

Swing, Swing by The All-American Rejects

Days swiftly come and go

I'm dreaming of her

She's seeing other guys

Emotions they stir

Roger could hardly believe what he was reading. Jack… and… Ralph? Not only Jack and Ralph, a few seconds earlier he'd read one with Jack and Piggy. There was Jack and Simon, too.

And oh so few of him and Jack. Though there were a disturbing number of him and Eric.

He would never visit this website again.

I Don't Care by Fall Out Boy

Say my name and his in the same breath

I dare you to say they taste the same

Let the leaves fall off in the summer

And let December glow feel flames

"You're insane."

"Just a little."

Hanging by a Moment by Lifehouse

I'm desperate for changing

Starving for truth

I'm closer to where I started

In chasing after you

He was captivated. It really shouldn't be captivating, watching someone argue about who should be chief, but Roger couldn't help but stare.

He always stared. Seeing as he was too… socially awkward? Shy? Insecure? Well, whatever it was, he could never just go up and 'talk' to Jack.

One did not just go up and 'talk' with Jack Merridew.

Famous Last Words by My Chemical Romance

Now I know

But where's your heart?

But where's your heart?

The dance was fun. Fun wasn't the best adjective to describe it, but it was close enough. Close enough.

He loved being a savage. Not only did he get to discard rules, but he also got to be close to Jack.
