Who am I?

Brithday gift

It's my birthday. My sister is dead. I'm in a McDonald's with a lanky psychopath. What have I turned into?

"Karl mate. What do you want to do after this?" Wil asked me while everyone was picking up their trash

"Oh uh i don't know, i don't want to invade on you guys plans" i said putting my trash in the bin

"Come on man, it's your birthday!" Wil smiled

"Yeah we didn't have any plans anyways" mark chimed in

"Well I heard that there was a mini market street, i think there's an arcade there" i said looking at the time on my phone. 1:27

"Oh I've been there! It's amazing!" Nikki said excitedly

"Are any of you American?" I asked

"I am" cara said leaned on Nikki

"I'm from Germany" Nikki said showing me a photo of her in Germany

"We're from the beautiful uk" Wil said in an unserious voice, his band mates nodding in agreement

We went to the mini market street and had an amazing time going into the shops and getting small useless things. We eventually got to the arcade. Me and Wil went to do our own thing while the others were playing a racing game.

"You're actually a really cool person Wil" i said as we walked into the bathroom. It was so empty in there it felt like a waste land

Wil smiled at me and had a look in his eyes as if he wanted to say something.

"You're so happy today. I honestly thought you were emotionless" i giggled as I set down my bags and turned on the sink.

"Karl" i looked at him confused "take off that ugly ass shirt before i kill you" he somewhat laughed

"Oh" i giggled while pulling it off

His eyes widened as he stared at my scars. His hands lightly felt my chest and scars.

"I didn't think your self harm was this bad" he said not looking me in the eyes

"These are from a year or two back"

"And the most recent ones?"

I lifted my shorts, week old cuts were on my thighs. Nothing horrible.

"Well, I bought a sweater in that shop full of America stuff" he said grabbing a sweater with and ugly American flag on it.

"Why did you buy this?" I asked while putting it on

"It's funny"

"..okay then"

I finished washing my hands and we left the bathroom. Our group played almost every game in the place for the rest of the evening. Around 4:30 we agreed to go get dinner. We went to Arby's tho Wil and Joe were missing from the group. We were having a completely serious conversation about my little pony when Wil and Joe came back in side the building with a store brought cake and a gift bag. They put both things infront of me with goofy smiles on their faces

"What's this?" I asked looking at the things

"It's your birthday, we weren't going to let you have a birthday without cake!" Wilbur said smiling at me

"You didn't need to get me a gift though" I giggled

"Yeah but I think you're going to like this" Wil grinned

I opened the gift bag and was absolutely flabbergasted when I saw the new legend of Zelda game.

"Holy shit!" I said a little loud as I pulled the game out of the bag and inspected it "how did you know I would want this?"

"Well you've played every Zelda game ever so I thought you would want this one" Wil said with a genuine smile. He had a cute smile.

We ate the cake and finished our dinner. Me and Nikki sat in the back of Wilbur's car talking about the kitten while Wil drived. We dropped Nikki off at her house, me and her hugging before she left the car.

"Where am i bringing you karl?" Wil asked as he started the car

"I- don't know. I dont really want to be around my family right now but I don't want Alex and nick to force me into talking about my problems..."

"How about you stay with me tonight?"

"Uh yeah okay"

Wilbur's house was smaller then I thought. The living room was decorated with mostly whites and blacks. The hallway to his room had a off white carpet and plain white walls with photos. One of the phots was Wilbur and nick making out on the living room couch. Wilbur's room had posters covering every inch of the walls. Rings, necklaces, and bracelets on every surface. Blood splatters on the ground and walls. Statues of headless naked bodies were on the desk and dresser. Polaroid pictures of him, his band, Nikki and Cara, him and nick, him and Alex, were covering the bedside table. There was two small piles of clothing on the floor.

"You're room is.. nice?" I said looking around

"Thanks" he said pulling off his shirt

"Are your parents home?" I asked while watching him undress

"No my dad doesnt live with me" he said blankly

"Why doesn't he live with you?"

"Can't let his clients know he has a family"

"Clients?"

"You don't want to know" he turned to look at me. This is when I noticed

"You self harm?" I asked looking at his left wrist

"I did. But I got over myself" he said looking at the ripped up arm

"Get undressed" he said turning away from me

"Excuse me?"

"Do you want to sleep in drity shorts and an American shirt?"

"Fair point" I pulled off the shirt and shorts.

I noticed him glancing at me as he grabbed a sweater from his wardrobe.

"I thought you didn't like people seeing you without a shirt"

"I guess I stopped worrying about that when I had sex for the first time" I shrugged

He set down the sweater on his bed and and pushed me down so that I was sitting on the bed. He bent down and kissed me. This didn't feel romantic or lust filled, it felt like I was an experiment. Unhuman. He deepened the kiss as he put him hands on the bed to balance himself. He pulled way from the kiss when he took tell I was running out of breath.

"What was that?" I asked taking a deep breath or two

"Put this on" he said ignoring the question and handing my the sweater
