Nab's Random Book Part 2: Electric Boogaloo

Broken (ONESHOT)

TW: Blood, Trauma, World Domination.

A broken person, with broken dreams,

Seemingly torn apart at the seams.

A scar will never fade,

An endless debt, yet to be paid.

And when they turn to dark,

Everything is soon torn apart.

And after all is done and spoken,

Nevertheless, they are still broken.

Location: Joe River, Winding Woods, By the Friend Group house, New Mexico, United States.

Seb waited by their hangout spot at Joe River. They had named it that due to the fact that after moving in, Ron pointed to the river and named it, Joe. The name stuck. It had become a hang out place for Nab and Seb. A place to chill when they wanted to talk. In private. She sent Seb a text, saying:

ℕ𝕒𝕓: ℂ𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕥𝕠 𝕁𝕠𝕖 𝕒𝕥 𝟟:𝟘𝟘.

Nab's been acting weird lately. Distant. Seb wanted to meet up a week prior, but Nab declined. And now, she wants to meet up? Kinda sus, not gonna lie.

But whatever. He was just glad to talk to her.

"Hey."

"OH-"

He turned around, startled, only to see the figure of Nab right behind him. Her eyes were bloodshot and she looked tired as hell. The scar going across her left eye glowed in the sunset. He always asked about it, but Nab never answered. Just changed the subject and stared at him blankly.

"How's it goin'?" Nab asked.

"Great!" Seb exclaimed.

 And with that, they were talking like they used to. About which super hero was the best, who was the most powerful of the Friend Group, and How it's going with Aria. Nab acted just like her usual self, but a bit... weirder. She would make random comments such as, "In all honesty Batman's lucky his parents died," And other weird bs. But Seb didn't notice. He was just happy to have his friend back. Until he said it.

"Y'know, I was starting to think you were leaving The FG or something," Seb said.

"You wouldn't talk to Me, Cherry, Aria, Scott or even John! Thankfully you didn't!" He laughed.

Nab went silent.

"Nab..? You ok?"

"Actually, I am." Her voice took an icy edge.

"Ok?"

"No you idiot. Leaving."

"But, Nab, you can't-"

"I AM!!"

Seb paused. Nab had never talked to him like that.

"Nab... I... This isn't you!"

"IT IS, SEB! YOU WERE JUST TOO FOOLISH TO NOTICE!" She yelled. "EVERYONE! THEY DON'T NOTICE. THEY DON'T CARE! ABOUT ME! ABOUT YOU! ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS THEMSELVES."
