Shatter me like a diamond | Trolls x OC |

Getting harder to breathe (Trigger warning)

Astra: Damn it, why do i gotta be so stubborn and why does the world always try to make me regret living.

Astra leaned against the wall of the tree house he made, he didn't want to be seen on the ground so what did he do? Glad you asked! He climbed all the way up a super tall tree, why? Well cuz the best hiding places was inside the leaves, well at least for trolls.

He was kind of like Branch, using his engineering skills to build an elevator to get up and down with much trouble. Yeah didn't really do much for him when his health was already out the window, a few days earlier his right began to hurt, he had double visions and worst of all he was loosing his eyesight, his once beautiful yellow eye turning white.

Probably not much time left, he basically accepted his fate, he would rather die than be with the pop trolls anyways.. Or did he? Was that really how he felt? Yes the past few years the world have been against his existence, but could really hate them? 

He had his good and bad times.. No he still couldn't Branch, no matter what he was still his little brother, he could actually understand his point of view, probably scared of losing his "real" brothers again. 

Astra brought his right hand to his heart, feeling his heart letting go of all the hatred for singing and music, it was time to move on from being bitter, not like he had much of choice, he was dying slowly..

One last song, one last time to express him love for singing and dancing well no dancing but you get it..

Don't tell me I'm not good enough

Times like this
I wish I never existed
Nobody wants to listen
I'm screaming out for help

Times like this
I wish that I could let go
And open up a window
Free to be myself

But then there's you
Standing over me
Tryna make a fool of me
Tryna get the best of me

Then there's you
Tryna shut me out
Tryna kick me when I'm down
That ain't gonna stop me now
No

How does it feel to know that I don't care at all?
Your words don't mean a thing at all
I choose to rise, you choose to fall

How does it feel to know that I am capable
Of more than you will ever know?

Don't tell me I'm not good enough
Don't you bring me down
I'm moving up and you're over now
You gave me fire
Every time you came around
My feet are steady on the ground
And you won't knock me down

No more
Now I'm unbreakable
No more, no more, no more
Now I'm unbreakable

Times like this
I'm picking up the pieces
I'm making up the reasons
Not to tell a soul

Times like this
I'd rather speak to no one
I just wanna move on
And stand up on my own

But then there's you
Standing over me
Tryna make a fool of me
Tryna get the best of me

Then there's you
Tryna shut me out
Tryna kick me when I'm down
That ain't gonna stop me now
No

How does it feel to know that I don't care at all?
Your words don't mean a thing at all
I choose to rise, you choose to fall

How does it feel to know that I am capable
Of more than you will ever know?

Don't tell me I'm not good enough
Don't you bring me down
I'm moving up and you're over now
You gave me fire
Every time you came around
My feet are steady on the ground
And you won't knock me down

No more
Now I'm unbreakable
No more, no more, no more
Now I'm unbreakable

I remember getting teased as a kid
'Cause at the place that we lived
We never had it easy
Believe me
But that don't excuse the things that we did

Couldn't accept that I was never accepted
Shed so many tears like I fell in depression
Thought if I changed
I wouldn't get called names
But it was all the same
I was feeling rejected

Putting someone down that's a low blow
What goes around comes around like a yo-yo
Wish that I could stop time like a photo
But we stand strong, bounce back like a pogo

Don't tell me I'm not good enough
Don't you bring me down
I'm moving up and you're over now
You gave me fire
Every time you came around
My feet are steady on the ground
And you won't knock me down

No more
Now I'm unbreakable
No more, no more, no more
Now I'm unbreakable

(i promote that we all leave a like on all the videos used! it helps them aswell :D)

His colors barely showed, it was no difference at all. He sighed almost expecting to never get better from just a song, he smiled sadly as he felt the warm red liquid run down his neck onto his worn out clothes..

This was finally it, he looked out the window one last.. Just one more time, that's all he ever wanted, please world just give him another chance to live and do better.. Become better for everyone around him, just PLEASE help him..

The darkness took over and he fell to the side from his sitting position, the blood keep running down onto the wooden floor staining it for life.

*Weeks earlier*

Branch: He's gonna freeze to death if we don't find him!

Floyd: Branch calm down! We'll find him, I promise..

Poppy: I know this must be hard for you Branch but.. I'm with Floyd, we'll find him.

Branch looked down tears spilling from his eyes as Poppy and Floyd hugged him. Floyd tried his best not to show weakness infront of his very sadden brother but he had to admit he was worried  that they wouldn't find him in time..

Poppy being a bubbly queen would ask everyone if they had seen their redheaded first anywhere, alot of the creatures had seen him but he wasn't red, so they got confused and just shook their heads thinking they were looking for someone else.

The Melody forest was huge, it could take months before the could find Astra and even if it did.. Well he would probably be dead, the thought of him dying scared everyone, especially Branch and Floyd since they were the main reason he was gone.

During this time Astra began feeling more sick, still alive but he kept losing weight and would cough up blood, giving him a harder time find and getting food, damn stubbornness always had to be that way.

Astra: Shit.. I'm getting worse day by day.. It doesn't matter if i go find help.. I will be dead before then.

He wasn't lying even if he wasn't in the worst state yet he would be dead if he tried to walk for hours with the lack of food, sleep and water, he was so weak he could barely walk for 30 mins straight without having a asthma attack ending in him coughing up blood for hours after that so he just stayed near his tree.

This was still the time he hated singing, he grumbled as he played on the guitar carefully, he had extreme cuts in his fingers making in harder to play, in the end he was stuck in dead silence day in and day out.

*Back to present day~*

Floyd: Uh- how do i ask the creatures?

Poppy: Just talk to them like you would normally to other trolls!

The caterpillar with his big ass eyes looked between them as they talked, feeling slightly annoyed having it's time wasted by a bunch of random pop trolls.

Floyd: *Sigh* Um excuse me Mr. Caterpillar..? We are looking for a redheaded troll or.. well gray basically all over..

The caterpillar nodded his head at the trio, they gasped in excitement, Poppy squishing the bug's face basically asking where they could find him, the caterpillar basically sweat dropped and made them follow him for like an hour walk, they were so off from finding Astra, they were just glad they managed to find someone knowing where he could be found at.

Branch: You.. just lead up to a big tree out in the middle of nowhere!?

Floyd: Calm down Branch!

Poppy: Mr. Caterpillar, there's no one here..

The bug rolled its eyes and pointed to a tree house in the tree, they all looked at each other walking towards it, it was advanced like how Branch could build it.

The saw the lever for the elevator, waiting for it to get down for them to step up on it.. it was a beautiful sight going up..

Reaching the top, they made their way to the door and opened it to find..

CLIFFHANGER~
