"Knots? You look down buddy." Tyler "Knots" Ryan had been sitting on the stoop of the old, abandoned building he lived in for about an hour now, in complete silence. He never had been a chatty person. Not since it happened anyway. That was 6 years ago, he had no one except his friends left now. He knew it would kill him one day, like it did them. He didn't understand how all of this was happening because someone stood up for what they believed in. He thought this was all his fault, they were there because of him, to support him. He missed that. He missed them.
"Thinking about your parents again, huh? You know that wasn't your fault. It was just some insane-"
"Drop it Tails."
"But I-,"
"I said, drop it."
Knots hated snapping at his friend like that, but he couldn't bear it. It had been 6 years. 6 damn years. He still blamed himself, they knew they couldn't change that.
"I hate to pull you away from your thoughts, but Chocker and Barbie are on their way."
"Or we're already here, same difference."
Barbie's familiar voice rounded the side of the building as her and Chocker came into view. Knots had almost forgotten about them coming over tonight. Guess he had been out there longer than he thought.
"Now can we stop talking about Knots's trauma and go have some fun?" Barbie pouted.
Knots turned to face her. "Can I ask you to do something for me?"
"Anything for you, darling."
"Shut up, Barbie."
(A/N) Yay, something new. Like always, my writing is shit, so don't expect much other than plot twists and fan service. I hope you guys will enjoy "Street Smart" ! I love feedback if you have any.:)
