When the lights turned off. (Renga angst. VERY ANGSTY.)

Reki!

Narrator POV (I'm not super good at writing Langa sorry-)

5:55pm Tuesday June 14th

Langa had somehow ended up sitting on reki's bed waiting for him to get to his house, his mom was fine with Langa just waiting because reki's mom liked Langa, he was "a very good young man" 

Langa was sitting there, waiting for reki, every minute his anxiety increasing. He was just glancing around Reki's room, admiring the decorative taste of his friend. He liked the graffiti vibe of the posters on the walls, and stickers all over anything that wasn't the walls. 

Langa glanced at the closet of his friend, and noticed that the closet door was cracked open. Langa decided to just shut it all the way, as it wouldn't hurt anything. He gets up and sees one of reki's hoodies on the floor of his closet, and chooses to hang it up for him. 

When Langa picks up the hoodie, shakes it out, he looks at the sleeves. 

"B-blood!" He worriedly exasperates under his breath. It's.. only on the sleeves? 

... Langa stares at the bloodied sleeves for a second. His heart stops when he makes the realization.

"Reki.. no.." Langa panicked. He felt tears well in his eyes, but he held them back. 

"It's ok, but I have to find him as soon as possible." Langa told himself as he got his shoes on and grabbed his skateboard, he ran out the door. And when Reki's mom saw him running past her, Langa just yelled "Reki told me where he was! I'm going to meet him!!!" 

Langa had no idea where reki was. But her searched all the places where he could be. Joe's restaurant, the workshop, even shadows flower shop and cherry's workplace. 

"Where could he be!?" 

6:23pm Tuesday June 14th

Langa sat at their usual skating spot nearly crying from his anxiety. 

"Dammit- where is he!? I can't find him.. I need him..." Langa pauses, suddenly shaking, tears just stream from his eyes.

Langa's POV 

"What if... he.. he.. w-wouldn't. N-no way..." l realized, if reki had been cutting... what if he.. 

I start to hyperventilate from the thought, shaking. I can't breathe. Just thinking of him.. d-dying...

"N-no nonononoNONONONO! oh god.. oh god.." I try to calm down and breathe. "R-reki.. w-wouldn't do that... no way. N-never..." I desperately try to stand up to go look for him some more.. but my legs won't let me. My tears well up my eyes more intensely and I can't see anything. I curl up in a little ball and cry. Just crying, because Reki could be dead or in the process of dying right now, and I don't know where he is. I frantically try to think of ways to find him. 

I start to get a headache from my unsteady breathing. I realize then how to find him. 

Our Snapchat! He always has his location on! 

I take a big breath, sit up, and pull out my phone. I quickly click on the Snapchat Icon and go to the snap-map. 

(idfk know what it's called as I don't use Snapchat, i am just going off of what Google said about Snapchat. Anyway, thank you for your patience of my ignorance.)

I find reki's location. "The markets!I have to go now!" I exclaim to myself. 

I put my phone in my pocket and stand up, my face still red from crying, and my headache still present, but I know where he is now, so it's ok. There's nothing he can do to... hurt... himself... at the markets.. I remember what sparked me to even start searching for him in the first place. 

I need to talk to him about that. As soon as possible. I skate as fast as I can without hurting myself to get to him. 

6:45pm Tuesday, June 14th 

After getting to the markets, I start looking everywhere for him. I run around holding my skateboard. Then I notice movement in an alleyway and decide to investigate...

 "REKI!"
