"DESPERATION is a necessary
ingredient to
learning anything, or creating
anything. Period. If you ain't desperate at some point, you ain't interesting."

"It would be fair if we give Ash a personal visit right..." A guy stood up from his seat.. His hands on his knees and eyes on the three guys in front of him... Three heads nodded in affirmation and held the baseball bat and looked at the bikes behind them...

He was the only guy who was a problem for them... Ash Ketchum was a guy who couldn't be predicted.. His power lied in his unpredictable nature and ability to see onto the opponents technique.. And he was the only one who hadn't fought anyone of the students in the battle rooster of battling academy... Dealing with him comes first...

Especially after the money prize was declared a day ago...

Unaware of everything that guy had been going through, the guys decided to walk right into demon's kitchen to be slaughtered... He wasn't in mood of any of this... Everything went downhill like a fucking snowball which crashed onto him with full power slamming him with the reality of the situation... He couldn't do anything to find her... He never belived in the concept of heaven and hell but the voice screaming in his heads for two weeks made him realise hell existed... Right in his head..

Depression isn't as glorified or movie like as they show it to be and Ash realised it now as he looked at the picture of him and her on his device... His body felt numb.. He didn't wanted to do anything.. He wanted to scream and cry but the numbness in his body didn't allowed him to... He wouldn't go around saying he shifted down his curtains and tried to die in a void but he felt worthless.. He felt hopeless he couldn't save what they had..  It was just like the second stage of grief. He couldn't accept she wasn't with him.. That she left Jublife's, that she wanted him out of her life...

It wasn't one of those attitude status or sigma rules on youtube that when a girl messages you she doesn't want to associate with you and you reply with a dumb yes thinking it is cool.. Human relations are fragile.. What they had was something even deeper and hundred time more fragile.... He couldn't let her go like that.. Every story has two sides and he was aware it was either related to the guy stalking her or the loan.. It was just he felt betrayed she never felt comfortable to talk to him about it...

It was almost like a crackling thin layer of ice over a lake... So beautiful yet so fragile at same time... And both of them were dancing over the thin layer of ice knowing it will fall one day...

He looked at her number.. Hundreds of message sent to her just to contact him once and explain him why? But he was aware he was blocked.. Any sane person could see it.. He felt like being crushed under weight of something heavy.. Maybe his burdens and guilts... Gary visited him, May and Dawn did too.. Marnie sent him a message, so did Rosa, Red and Yellow too unaware of majority of things.. The only two person completely aware were Gary and Astrid who tried to visit him regularly.. But as i said, he was being crushed.. No matter of 'do this' or 'do that' would help him..
