Chapter 13: Jonathan

After all that, we just stood there for a second.

"I-I can't believe it..." Xander stood on the desk.

"I know..." Al leaned on him. "This is unreal. I trusted him. I trusted him so much."

"UGH!" I suddenly screamed. "WHY?!"

Xander then frowned. "Why don't you ask her?" He pointed at Al.

"Hey, what do you mean?!"

Then Xander started to yell. "I mean, you trusted Josh first!"

"I mean, you would have trusted him first if you weren't such a loner! All you did was sit there like a derpy piece of shit!" Al pointed at the bed as she said that. She then laughed. "Derpy piece of shit."

"SHUT UP!" Xander yelled. "You're naive and too nice!"

"NO, YOU! What's 'too nice' supposed to mean?!"

I collapsed to the ground and I started to cry. "This- This can't be... Failed again, everything is coming down..."

"You're ugly, and a tryhard!"

"You're too positive, and are annoying!"

"This is why I chose Sylvia and Clara over you!"

"WHAT?! REPEAT THAT AGAIN?!" Xander finally pushed Al off of him and shoved her to the ground.

Al then pulled Xander down after standing up, and they started to fight and scream, anger filling their voices.

"You suck!"

"No, you suck!"

"THIS IS WHY I HATE YOU!"

They both screamed.

A part of me wanted to rush in and stop the fighting, but something held me back - fear of being rejected again? I felt like a failure, like my existencee was so insignificant that it had no place in this world anymore. Tears stung my eyes and rolled down my cheeks. My throat tightened as I choked on my own sorrows.

Wow, you really failed again.

I tensed up. "Stop."

The voice in my head continued to speak. You couldn't even stop your own test subjects from fighting. You made a deal with someone, and let them trick you. You're useless. You're nothing. You'll always be alone.

I shook my head, trying to clear the voice from my thoughts. But it wouldn't go away. It kept taunting me, telling me to give up. "Stop it... Al, help..." I couldn't believe it. I was asking Al for help. She said she would, didn't she? I had to. She was my only hope left.

Wow, asking a child for help? How pathetic. She'll probably trick you, just like Josh.

You're so disgusting. I can't believe that Jaden would even talk to you, let alone touch you.

"...Help me."

However, Xander and Al ignored my pleas for help. They kept fighting, soon starting to slap each other.

"This is all your fault!"

"If you were just nice to me, maybe I wouldn't have talked to Josh! I love you Xander, I really do! I CARE! BUT YOU DON'T, AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM!"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN!? I CARE! I JUST- I JUST-"

After a while, Al and Xander's throats grew raw, and tears ran down their faces.

"I can't be with you..." Al said.

Xander said nothing and turned away.

"I'm done," he groaned weakly.

Al then sat on a chair. "I miss Clara... Sylvia..."

I stood up after five minutes and decided to sadly go back to work. Failed again...

I balled my hands into fists. I was angry... But at the same time I felt numb.

Your existence is such a waste.

You should just disappear.
