~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Noooo~!" Jerome screamed as he was murdered by a minecrafter in a cookie skin.

"I will avenge you!" I screamed and he laughed. I threw a splash potion of poison on the guy, but it backfired and hit me also. "Milk man!!!" I screamed and Ryan's character came running from the corner of my screen.

"Milk!" He yelled as he dropped a bucket of milk in front of me. When I drank it, the effects went away but I was down to two hearts.

"Jerome...I'm dying..." I said in a dramatic voice. I heard him laugh over Skype, but also from the other room. Luckily the person had died from my attack and I got his loot. Then I noticed the count down. "The D is in 30 seconds! Ryan we're going to the D!" I yelled. When our players were teleported, I immediately started attacking the guy to my right, while Ryan attacked another. Soon it was between the two of us.

"It was nice knowing you Mitch," Ryan said as he jumped off the ledge and into the lava. I followed his path but took off all my armor. He won. "Awe Mitch...why'd you do that?" He asked sadly.

"Because I wanted to be with my Bac," I replied simply.

"Awe~" they both sighed.

"#Merome," Ryan said then paused. "But don't commit suicide."

"Where'd that come from?" I asked.

"Well you died for me, which thank you, but never kill yourself," he replied. I froze, glancing at my arms.

"Yeah doods...I know personally..." I cut myself off realizing what I was saying. I wasnt even thinking...why would I say that?! My friends became quiet as I awkwardly laughed.

"Uh...hahah...yeah..." Jerome laughed along with me. "We'll see you later doods! Baaaiiiii..." He said the outro and we all logged off of Minecraft and said goodbye on Skype. Next thing I knew, Jerome came storming in the room and I put my head down in shame.

"What did you mean 'Personally'?" He asked softly, seeing my expression. I stood, walking over to the door, but he grabbed my arm. "What did you mean?" He repeated. I squinted my eyes shut and stood my ground. "Mitch! You're my best friend! Please tell me what you meant!" There he was, pulling the best friend card again.

"Maybe I don't see you as my best friend!" I turned and screamed. His eyes opened wide as I realized what it sounded like. "No Jerome...I mean..." I started but he cut me off.

"What do you see me as then?!" He yelled. I couldn't tell him...

I was silent.

"I see..." He whispered, letting go of my arm.

"No Jerome, you don't see!" I screamed, taking him aback. "You don't know!" The tears started forming in my eyes as I saw that Jerome already had them running down his cheeks.

"Then why won't you tell me?" He whispered as he looked away. I sighed and took a deep breath.

"Jerome, I can't. You don't unde-" I started but he grabbed my arm again, pushing up my sleeve to reveal the white and red scars.

"What the fuck are these?" He gritted through his teeth, voice laced with pain and sadness. I was silent again; there was nothing I could possibly say. "Answer me..." He begged.

"You know what they are!" I screamed as I pulled myself away harshly. It killed me to see the look of shock and guilt wash over his features.

"But why, Mitch? Why would you do this?" He questioned, wiping away a few stray tears.

Only one word came to my mind.

One word that described my feelings.

One word that described how important Jerome was to me.

"Love."
