Curse you [Mandela Catalogue Adam x Jonah]

The argument

"What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" He tries to joke because of the situation. "Don't. Just don't, okay? Please." I tell him worried.

"Oh, so NOW you're taking this seriously." Adam says annoyed. "Dude, I don't know what you want from me. I'm as serious as I've ever been!" I tell him

He just laughs at me.

"This whole time, huh? So you fucking with me was you being serious?" He says after he's done laughing at me. "I get that I screw around sometimes, okay?! But that's just what I do!" I tell him. "Well maybe it shouldn't be!" He gets mad at me.

"Look man, I'm just...DEVASTATED...that I'm not as broken as you still are with everything that's happened and I'm sorry that I can't keep helping you carry this burden!" I let my anger out on him aswell.

"What does that have to do with anything??" He gets confused. "But I'm reaching my FUCKING limit here! These things have taken everything away from us, YET YOU STILL RUN TO THEM EVERY CHANCE YOU GET!" I yell at him.

He tries to denial it but I just burst. FUCKING LISTEN TO ME!!! You're not invincible, okay?!
I know you thought that when we started doing these fucking...death marches...and nothing happened, and I get it! But this, right here, is REAL. AND YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT.
MORE THAN ANYBODY." I yell at him more.

"What's that supposed to mean?!" He yells at me. "I wish we'd never looked for your [BLEEEEEEEP] because she is DEAD AND GONE. AND WE WERE NEVER GONNA GET HER BACK." I yell at him once more. Regretting what I said but it had to be said.

"What did you just fucking say to me!?" Adam screams at me more angry then ever before. "And I'm sorry that these are the lives that we lead today, but Adam, if you walk down those stairs, you'd be joining her. And if by some MIRACLE you come back out, I don't think you'd be yourself. And I'm telling you right now...that I won't be here to confirm that." I tell him calming myself down a bit.

"WELL THEN JUST FUCKING LEAVE THEN!
LEAVE!" He yells at me and then we lost connection on the call. I just stared at the radio frozen from shock for a good amount of minutes.

I soon collect myself and start to drive, leaving him.

Adam's POV:

I walk down the stairs. Once I was down, I saw a analog TV with a cat on it. That was making the sounds. Someone's or something's face appeared on the TV. A creepy music box then starts.

"What are you?" I ask the thing. The TV starts changing faces and stuff. "What have you done" something said in the distance. "I did the right thing" I reply.

"nobody is coming to help you. nobody knows where you are" the voice says again. "Jonah..you there?" I call on the radio but it seemed like it didn't go through. Shit.

The TV stops changing. The things face appears for a second but it turns white with a text that saying "do you understand?". Then turns blue. I should have listened to Jonah when I had the chance...

Jonah's POV:

I sobbed as I was driving back home. The radio glitches. "you left him behind. what will he do without you?" A voice in the radio said.

The camera Adam used before before was glitching. It said 'what are you running from?' Where the gps was before and the cameras screen had an error and a text 'you left him to die'.

The voice starts to repeat the sentence "open your eyes". I get mad at it. "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" it wouldn't shut up. "SHUT UP!" It still kept repeating it.

I pulled up somewhere and just exited the car sobbing. I sat on the ground with my back against the car and just sobbed for what felt like hours. The cars passing by probably thought I was weird but I didn't care.

When I though the voice from the car radio was gone I went back in the car. Great it was gone. I sat there and just thought what to do. Without him I was alone, with no one by my side when I need them.

The only thing I could think of was that I needed to save him. I can't leave him to die like this. I started to drive back to the 'lady's' house, I don't even think it was a lady in the first place, probably something to lure us in. They have gone too clever.
