Climate Change

Panic

[JSCHLATT'S POV]

Wilbur left me alone in the house. I looked out into the sea and decided it was better I stayed here. What if we didn't make it? What if I never got to tell Wilbur how I really felt? The panic really set in. I cried out for Wilbur as he swam up.

"Wilbur! Come Back!" I say on the verge of tears, thoughts racing.

"Schlatt, It's miserable up here man." Wilbur said looking upon the vast ocean.

"You're the light of my life! Come back!" I say to him, silently rocking back and forth on the desolate grass floor.

"Schlatt, come up here my man." Wilbur calls to me.

"I'm terrified." I admit, not caring any longer if he thought of me as weak. I needed Wilbur now.

"I can't do it, please help me, I need you." I muttered silently, hot tears pricking my eyes.

"It's miserable, but there is a bastion of hope." Wilbur said trying to help me calm down from where he was.

I stepped out into the water and held my breath. I was running out of oxygen when i noticed an air pocket in a submerged tree. I swam faster to it, almost drowning. I gasped for air when I reached the tree.

"Come up here!" I heard Wilbur shout to me.

"Nope! I'm staying right here." I shot back.

"-It's litteraly the last bastion of hope before the water swallows everything." Wilbur told me

"Nope, I'm not getting swallowed." I said in denial.

I was scared, but decided it was better to sit under this tree. I miss Wilbur. I thought to myself.

"Come over, you'll be fine." I told Wilbur, clearing some leaves.

I accidentally flooded my tree, and as I begin to swim up, I feel it.

The ground shook, and the water rose drastically above my head. I'm going to die here.

I swam as fast as I could, calling out to Will the whole time.

"WILBUR! I SWEAR TO GOD WHERE ARE YOU?" I frantically cried out.

I gasped out for air as my head broke through the cold, icy waves. Narrowly avoiding death for the third time.

"Up here! Behind you Schlatt!" Wilbur called out to me from the bastion.

"You're up there, oh god." I sighed, thankful he was alright.

"You fucked me Wilbur, you fucked me. Wait no-" I said realizing the words that just left my mouth.

"You gonna come?" Will asked quizzically.

"What! No I'm not gonna come!" I said, face going red at what Wilbur had just said.

"What? I'm just asking you if your coming!" He said, smirking.

"Can we go 5 seconds without getting unwarrantedly sexual!?" I yelled to Wilbur

This went on for a little while, Wilbur just trying to use the word 'come' as much as possible, while smiling like an idiot the whole time.

"-If you're not gonna come, -I'm gonna make you come!" Wilbur shouted to me.

My face went red, a deep dark crimson red, what the fuck Wilbur.

"Don't you dare make me come!" I shot back, deciding to shut the fuck up after that.

I swam over to the green treetops that had been swallowed by the water. I heaved myself up onto the tree, just like I had the first time I almost drowned.

"You are a mess, Jschlatt." Wilbur spoke to me.

"But you still love me, don't you Wilbur Soot?" I said, grinning widely.

That shut him up.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a creeper approaching. I tried to back up as he got to the tree, but leaves blocked my way.

"WILBUR HELP ME!" I screamed out before dying.
