Rushing waves of water could be seen in front of Mango, it was 1:23 AM and the sky was a beautiful dark blue. Mango was alone and sitting on a bench on a doc, it was calm. Mango felt at peace for a while before the dread kicked in. He had to face the reality that sometimes, life can't go the way he would like. His father kicked him out for reasons he wants to forget and his tourist business wasn't doing very good considering his mental health has been slowly depleting. Someone made it bearable, Sorbet, but good things will wither away soon. He and Sorbet have grown a little distant over the months, it was not great for Mango. Mango just wanted Sorbet to spend a little more time with him but Sorbet had made other friends, Mango didn't want to feel clingy though. Life has been hard for Mango and something has been building in his mind for a while now. He knew there was one way to make every struggle, every problem, everything he hated go away. The thought made him stutter for a while until Sorbet said something and it made the thought take more control.
Sorbet didn't like the way mango has been acting for a while now. They've seen Mango become more overprotective and clingy over the days and Sorbet is starting to get tired of it. Today they decided to confront Mango about this. Mango was telling stories to Sorbet in their shark form.
M: Haha!
Sorbet watched as Mango talked and talked endlessly but the pause was the perfect time to confront him
S: Mango, I need to talk to you about something.
Mango stopped what he was about to say, happily string at Sorbet with glee
S: Okay, Mango your a good friend but you're just...
Mango was getting a little scared of what Sorbet was going to say.
S: Mango, I just think you're too clingy and I just want you to leave me alone for a while
Mango knew Sorbet just wanted alone time but Sorbet was all Mango has to hold on to, he couldn't take it anymore. He started to walk back to his house, he knew how to make all the pain go away.
It was late when Sorbet got the text message
>M: Hey Sorbet, I'm happy we had this friendship while it lastest, goodbye.
Sorbet was confused about what Mango meant by that.
<S: What?
No reply
<S: Mango?
No reply
<S: Mango!?
No reply
Sorbet was getting worried until they remembered something, the rope Mango has in his closet. Mango wouldn't...Right? Sorbet bolted out of their apartment and straight to Mango's house. Sorbet was trying to convince themself that Mango wouldn't do it. Sorbet banged on his door and it was unlocked.
S: OOOooOO00O!? OOOoooOooOO00oo!?
Sorbet called out in their bubbly voice and ran to Mango's bedroom.
S: OOOO0oo-...
Sorbet the sight, a sight he didn't need to see. A chair had been kicked over on the ground and hanging was...Sorbet wished this was a dream.
S: oooOooo...
Sorbet felt tears drip down his face as they stared in horror at everything, even worse. Mango was not wearing a long-sleeved shirt which exposed his wrist and...Cuts...Sorbet didn't like this. Sorbet felt alone today. Sorbet will feel alone until the last breath
