The Homeless Santa

The Homeless Santa Chapter Forty-Two: The Jerk.

"...Mark? of course, I remember Mark, back when we were kids ..even into adult life we were pretty inseparable." A male voice was heard, as the visualization soon changed to that of Desire, Kit, Nicholas, Nicole, etc all seen sitting down on a couch some of them standing up staring towards an unfamiliar male figure, that was presumed to be Jake.

Jake was an adult male about mid-twenties or so, with white skin and dirty brown looking hair that was somewhat fuzzy and long, he was seen wearing a green jacket on that was unbuttoned revealing a black t-shirt underneath it, and dark blue jeans; while he crossed his arms, as he added.

"....But what does this have to do with anything in the present day?...we haven't spoken to each other in like ....two, three years maybe?...not like you really keep track of this stuff." And with this, he shrugged, as Kit soon added.

"...Seems kind of odd that you would lose track of someone you say was like your best friend growing up...can you tell us what happened there? what happened between the two of you?" And with this, Jake shook his head; adding.

".....Mark was a good guy, he REALLY was....." And with this, he lowered his eyes a bit; as Desire tilted her head before adding.

"...Was?"

"...I don't know, something happened....something at some point that just made him snap from his ...normal..somewhat tempered guy self, into a more aggressively ..bad person." Jake explained, soon adding.

"Like okay, the guy wasn't the nicest of people- but he never made much enemies in his life... but then when his personality snapped into something different, I'd easily see a lot of people wanting to strangle him, HECK I wanted to strangle him quite a few times myself."

"Why?" Nicole asked.

"...It was just ...his attitude, the way he carried himself ....he was snappy and judgemental over everything...and not in a teasing way, in more of an angered way; and it felt like if you were dealing with him you were going to get yelled at, so finally I came to him and I told him that I was tired of it- that he needed to either change his ways, or he was going to basically drive everyone he knew and loved away, and he acted like he would, but then he began to return back to the same behavior patterns as before, and I left.." Jake explained as he added.

"From what I hear most of his friends and family did too...he never gave an exact reason for the personality change, he never explained himself...he just woke up one day and was a jerk from sun up to sun down.."

".....So you couldn't tell us anything about this girl he had dated, that broke his heart?" Nicholas asked, with Jake raising a brow; as Nicole soon added.
