Lucifer (H2OToonz)

-Figuring things out-

//Vanoss pov\\

I woke up ready for the day. We were going to go save Jon. The boys where already awake and eating breakfast without me, "Morning Evan, I managed to save you plate from these beasts", Brock chuckled as he handed me a plate.

I finished eating and went in the living room. The place was a right mess, what did they do while I was still asleep? "Why're you going through Jons stuff?", I asked crossly. "Aha, found it! I knew he'd have a map of the Forrest!", Tyler cheered, raising it in the air.

"He has a map of the Forrest?!"

Tyler: "Hell yeah he has a map of the Forrest!"

The boys all went to the kitchen, clearing the dining table and spreading the map out.

Jaren: "Damb, it's way bigger than what I thought"

"But we gotta search it"

Nogla: "All ov it?!

Brock: "We gotta do what we gotta do"

Lui: "He's right, we can't just search the areas closest to us or the trail. We gotta search other places too"

Craig: "But didn't Jon come from the middle the other day? And just remember who we're dealing with here. The devil has powers so he's gonna have some tricks up his sleeve right"

Tyler: "So for all we know he could be in plain sight"

Craig: "Exactly. Just think...The police searched the entire Forrest, high and low and found no trace whatsoever. He's gotta be hiding him somewhere"

Marcel: "But if the cops couldn't find anything then what makes us any different? And what do we do? Do we split up or stick together?"

Lui: "You, Smitty, Brock and Evan are the ones who've seen more. We've only seen him soMeHow make us freeze on the spot.  Won't it be dangerous to split up?"

Marcel: "Actually I couldn't see what was going on so that just leaves Jaren, Brock and Evan to know"

Brock: "He can do anything he's the Devil for fucks sake!"

"It would be dangerous to split up but it's dangerous either way"

Lui: "And what about weapons? What do we have to protect ourselves with?!"

Tyler: "I have a few guns at my place we can use them"

Craig: "Wait why do you have guns?!"

Nogla: "Ye das a bit worryin"

Tyler: "They're just for when I go to the shooting range. Jeez...Plus it's good to have some sort of protection"

"Knowing Jon he probably has a bat around here somewhere"

Lui: "I have 2 bats at my place to!"

Nogla: "I don know bout you guys but I don't wanna be playing wiv any guns"

Marcel: "Then you take a bat from Lui and I'll have the gun"

Nogla: "Good idea"

"I'm gonna go look around for a bat or something", they nodded and started talking about ideas on how to save Delirious. I found the keys to the basement and went down there. It was only a small basement and there wasn't v a lot down there. Just junk and unnecessary things.

"Ha I knew he'd have one!", I cheered quietly picking a bat up and headed to the others. "Found it", I smirked as the others chuckled.

"Of corse the H2ODelirious would have a bat", Brock roles his eyes in a joking matter. I went to Jonathan's room to get dressed since I will still in just a top and joggers. I know I didn't like the guys looking through Jonathan's stuff but I was kinda curious myself. The first place I went to was the small drawer on his side of the bed. I went to open it but it got jammed on something. I felt around underneath to find the problem and felt something cold and...Metal? It was taped to the bottom of the drawer, out of sight.

I ripped it off and what I found worried me. A gun...What would he possibly need a gun for? He's never touched one in his life.

"Guys...I found a gun beside Jons bed... With only one bullet in it", I said sadly as I went back to them. "Why would he need a gun for?", Brock asked with a worried face. "He doesn't", Tyler said confused.

"Exactly, and why one bullet". Everyone paused, thinking.

Jaren: "Uuh, this may be a bit out of the blue but... Has it ever occurred to any of you that maybe Jon isn't happy and... possibly hasn't been for a long time?", he suggested.

"What're you saying?"

Jaren: "Haven't you noticed? Even before the accident, he hardly talked to us except when we're recording. He never invites us around as much as he used to, his laughs and smiles hasn't been looking so real lately, he leaves our group calls early and he always looks tired when he joins, doesn't even give us a chance to say bye or anything. He never talks about his feelings. Nothing "

Nogla: "Yer right. An since the accident it's just gotten worse n more obvious"

I let out a heavy sigh and the others faced me in question. "I caught Jon... self harming the other day...There were faded scars, fresh scars and cuts all over his arms. "

Craig: "I guess that's why he always wears long sleeves"

"So he must've had the gun for..."

Brock: "..Suicide", he gulped, letting a tear fall.

Lui let out a huge sob he must've been holding in and ran into Nogla arms.

Lui: "Our b-best friends been hurting for who knows how l-long and we've never noticed or d-did anything about it!"

Nogla sat down with Lui on his lap, hugging him as he bawls his eyes out. "We'll get 'im back Lui, an we'll make everythin right for 'im again", Nogla said in a serious tone.

Marcel: "I wonder what's been going through his mind this whole time. He  must've thought we were assholes for never noticing", he sighed, rubbing his face in his hands.

Craig: "We'll all have to sit him down one day and have him tell us everything. Otherwise how can we help"

Marcel: "Good point, that first"

Jaren: "Not yet though. It'll be too much for him", everyone nodded in agreement and got ready.
