I hate Roses || a SkepHalo fanfic

Day one

Darryl's POV: 

I stood there in shock as I held his limp body in mine... "what had just happened? This isn't real...is it??" I thought to myself. My best friend...he was gone, and I could do nothing about it... "Why...? Out of all people...why did it have to be him?" I thought to myself...Soon I felt warm tears streaming down my face as I fell to my knees holding Zak's bloodied body in my arms...

For the past...what felt like at least 2 hours I had been crying until I couldn't cry anymore. I knew he was no longer suffering but...I missed him, I missed him so much. I wanted to cry more but there were no tears left to cry. Why? Why him?? Why did this STUPID disease even exist? What kind of sick joke is this?! Soon enough I had gotten back to my feet, and I picked him up...

1 week later...

Lately I haven't been myself...it feels like a huge piece of me his been gone ever since Zak's passing. I haven't left my house as much as I use to...I ended up taking a HUGE break from social media, including youtube. After a week of mourning about Zak's death I decided it was time to find a job that I could possibly meet new people and get my mind of this whole Zak being gone thing...I mean of course I don't want to forget about him...I just want a small distraction. 

I ended up working at a cafe that was nearby...I was glad I chose that one, I had met someone by the name of George Davidson. He's really sweet and fun to talk to, I've got to learn a lot about him, and we even became friends. This weekend we are going to hang out at the park so I'm excited for that!

I went to my pc and opened discord almost immediately and opened up Skeppy and I's chats and texted "Hey Skeppy!! I'm hanging out with George today!! He's a friend a made at a job!" As soon as I sent that text, I noticed Skeppy hadn't got online which he always did when I texted him... I wasn't sure why he didn't come online and then it hit me. 

"Right...you can't respond..." I mumbled as warm tears streamed down my cheeks. I was about to close discord until I saw George was calling me, I instantly picked up. "Hello George! How are you?" I spoke in a cheerful voice obviously hiding the hurt in my voice. "Hello Darryl!! I am good, how are you?" He sounded like he was extra happy today. "I'm okay, you sound extra happy today. Any specific reason?" I asked obviously wanting to know where the excitement was coming from.

"Remember the guy I told you I was talking to?" George asked in a cheery tone. "Uhh...Nick?" I asked confused. "No no, I mean like the guy I was talking to as in possible relationship. You remember now?" I facepalmed once he said that. "Yes, of course! I remember now...so what about him?" George turned his camera on and smiled brightly at the camera then waved. 

"I'll turn my camera on in a bit." I spoke in a monotone voice. "Okay!! Anyway! The guy, Clay? Remember him?" He asked smiling...

I wiped my teary eyes and wiped the tears off my cheeks. "Of course, I remember him! He's always at the cafe!" I giggled as I turned my camera on. "Well...I'm dating him now!" George said with a bright small and his cheeks turn slightly pink. "Ohh, really?" George just nodded. "Wow...I'm so happy for you!!"

After the call I closed out of discord. Sure, I was happy for my friend but all I really cared about right now was Skeppy. All I wanted was for Skeppy to come back...I got up from my desk staring at my pc and suddenly...I smashed it with my fist. 

"Great..." I mumbled. "Well whatever...I was planning on quitting anyway." I muttered under my breath.
