The Nine Dagger Chronicles

Chapter 1: Astronaut

A/N
Inspired by the song Astronaut, by Simple Plan and that's also the song I used.
I'm not saying that this is what happened, but I was kinda sad when I wrote this and wanted it to be as emotional as possible. (And no, I didn't get betrayed or anything like that, but I don't feel like telling you what happened.)
And no, there are no ships.

Seto felt a tear fall as he sat there, with his back against the cold stone wall and arms around his legs. He just couldn't believe the guys would do that to him! He thought they were his friends! But no, they kicked him just because he didn't stand out enough from the crowd.

He took in his surroundings. He'd just slid down to the ground next to an old stone tower when he got too weak to continue. Since that horrible morning two days ago he had been running. He hadn't ate properly and barely slept at all. He just wanted to get away from everything. Away from Team Crafted! Away from Sky, Mitch, Jerome, Jason, Ian and Quentin! But not Ty. He had been the only one to defend him, the only one that didn't want him to leave. A sob shook his body.

He had been alone and broken, but Team Crafted had healed him, patched up his mental wounds. They asked him to be a part of the team and for the first time in his life he had been happy. But then they forgot that, and started caring more about marketing. "Oh Seto is preventing us from becoming as famous as we could be, so let's ignore the fact that he's our friend and kick him out!" A tear slid down his cheek.

"Can anybody hear me, or am I talking to myself?" He sang, his voice shaky from crying and dehydration. "My mind is running empty, in the search for someone else who doesn't look right through me. It's all just static in my head. Can anybody tell me why, I'm lonely like a satellite?"

Seto happily skipped down the stairs. His friends had told him that there was something they had to talk about. He expected it to be about some new ideas for videos or marketing, but their sad and grim faces made him think it might be something else. But he suppressed a frown and kept on smiling. He also noticed that Ty wasn't there.

" 'Cause tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut. Sending s.o.s from this tiny box and I lost all signal when I lifted up. Now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot. Can I please come down, because I'm tired of drifting 'round and round. Can I please come down?" He sang louder. Pretended that if he sang loud enough he wouldn't hear his own memory.

"What did you want?" He asked.

"Uhm... We've been discussing some things, and we decided that we're gonna kick you out of the team." Sky mumbled. Seto almost fainted right then and there. He had too use the kitchen counter to hold himself up.

"I'm deafened by the silence. Is it something that I've done? I know that there are millions. I can't be the only one who's so disconnected. It's so different in my head. Can anybody tell me why, I'm lonely like a satellite?"

"W-what? Why?!" He exclaimed, the panic clear in his voice. Sky opened his mouth but was interrupted by Mitch.

"We feel like you bring no more use to the team and therefor you have no right to be here." He felt the tears coming, but swallowed and tried to keep them contained.

" 'Cause tonight I'm felling like an astronaut. Sending S.O.S from this tiny box. And I lost all signal when I lifted up. Now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot. Can I please come down? Because I'm tired of drifting 'round and round. Can I please come down?"
