A/N: TW: Implying Suicide.

22nd July 2021 11:10am (Corpse POV)

Emma: "CORPSE! Fuck you!"

Corpse: *laughs wheezing*

"Man that conversation was... Unsettling... I should talk with Rae and find out what's going on."

First we got in Emma's car, it really was the ugliest thing I've ever seen, though it was a dare and she wasn't allowed to change the colour over our friendship.

Once we were in the car I pulled my phone out and scrolled down my contacts list until I hit R, Rae was the first one in the R section. I noticed that Richard was the second "Why the fuck do I still have his number? That's getting blocked!", I blocked his number and called Rae's after.

11:10am (Rae POV)

Am I really about to watch The Notebook again? I'm so pathetic... Of all the romance films and all the films that can make you cry why do I always revert back to the notebook? I pressed play on the film and snuggled into my blanket. Internally, I was praying for someone to bust down the door and whisk me away, or at least disrupt me from my unhealthy binging.

Thankfully my prayers were answered when my phone began ringing, I lunged at it desperate for a distraction. To my surprise it was Corpse that was calling, he rarely ever called me and when he did it was only for the most grave emergencies.

"Is this about Sykkuno? It must be... Why else would Corpse be talking to me? He only ever calls me when something's wrong."

Deep in my thoughts, I hadn't even realised that the phone was on it's sixth or seventh ring, it felt like I was ignoring him so I clapped in front of my face to break my trance and I accepted the call.

Rae: "Hey Corpse. What's wrong?" My voice was still raspy from crying for like forty-five minutes straight.

Corpse: "What? What do you mean what's wrong? Why does something have to be wrong?" He questioned me, in a playful tone.

Rae: "Corpse... I'm really not in the mood for a cute argument... What do you want?" I said coldly, exhausted from all the crying.

Corpse: "Wow! Uh okay... Everyone's depressed all of a sudden huh? What did I miss?" He asked, though it sounded like a rhetoric question.

Rae: "Corpse. Tell me what's up. Or I hang up and continue watching The Notebook." I groaned.

Corpse: "The Notebook? Isn't that what you watch when you're sad? Why are you sad?" He asked concernedly.

I understood he was just making sure I was okay but I was too frustrated and too sad to cope with him so I hung up, I pressed play on the movie and continued watching. I mentally cursed myself for hanging up on him, I needed a distraction and that was it. Guess that's done for...

Shockingly, my phone began ringing again. Thank god for Corpse's tenacity, I picked it up again a little too eagerly and began speaking again.

Rae: "I'm sorry about that. I'm just exhausted. Tell me why you called? Please?"

Corpse: "Uh okay... I just wanted to ask if something was wrong with Sykk? He seems a little down?"

Even the mention of his name made tears well in my eyes, Corpse didn't know about Sykkuno and I, Should I tell him? I don't need to burden him with my problems.

Rae: "Why would I know? I haven't seen him in a while."

Corpse: "But isn't he staying with you? Why haven't you seen him?"
