Zak panicked, forgetting all about the recording. He knew once Darryl found out that there was no backup to bring the server back to normal, he would be REALLY angry. He was frozen in place, hoping that the screen would magically change to Download Complete.

-Darryl's POV-

I was angry, no doubt, but I knew that Zak had a backup of the server. He wouldn't do something so bad as to grief his server and not save a backup, right? I mean, he always had one every time he has done this before. So I wasn't that worried.

"Alright Zak, you've had your fun, now where's the backup?"

No response.

"Zak?"

Zak appeared at my door. He looked really worried and guilty. I was worried, he was always cracking up laughing whenever he's done this to me. This just got my suspicions up more..

"You do have the backup, right Zak?" I asked, my eyebrows raised.

Zak stood there. Slowly, he started to move his head left and right. I laughed

"Skeppy, stop trolling, I know you do. Import it now please."

"I-I don't have it, Darryl. I'm sorry. I thought that it saved already, but something must have happened and the download failed. I'm so sorry. I'll get my builders to make you a new spawn. Just please forgive me Darryl."

-Nobody's POV-

Darryl still didn't believe him. He knew that his friend wouldn't have done this to him. And knowing Zak's trolling history, Darryl knew that he was joking and this was all just another troll. Despite this, Darryl was losing his patience.

"Zak, this isn't funny anymore, can you just please stop lying and put in the backup? You've recorded the video, can you change it back now?"

"I-I wasn't lying Darryl.."

Zak has never felt this bad about something before. He knew since Bad thought that he was lying, when he showed him, his reaction could be horrible.

"Show me, then."

Zak silently nodded with a lump in his throughout, dreading to see Darryl's reaction.

"Come."

Once in Zak's room, Zak slowly showed the Download Failed screen.

"Y-you didn't.. you wouldn't do this to me.." Darryl mumbled, looking shocked and hurt once he saw the screen.

"I'm so sorry, Darryl."

Darryl snapped.

"WHY, ZAK? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?? After all we've been through?.."

"It was an accid-"

"SHUT UP,ZAK. I CANT BELIEVE YOU. EHY WAS I EVER YOUR FRIEND? ALL YOU'VE EVER DONE WAS TROLL ME. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU DID SOMETHING NICE FOR ME? DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG THIS TOOK ME?" Darryl screamed at Zak.

Tears stung Zak's eyes, heart broken from all the things Darryl said about him. He was right. When was the last time he actually did something nice for Darryl?

"I'm so sorry, Darryl. I promise, I'll get my build team to rebuild for you. I-I'm SO sorry." Water appeared in Zak's eyes.

"You destroyed my SERVER, Zak. A piece of my LIFE. I-I'm leaving. I cant even look at you anymore." Darryl started running to the door, not wanting to see Zak again.

"P-please, Darryl. I didn't mea-" Zak trembled, running after Darryl while tears blurred his vision.

"Just shut up, Zak. I hate you. You weren't even a good friend anyway. Why was I even friends with you? All you care about is trolling. You're a bad person. You don't deserve anything in this world. I hope you die." Darryl spat out, walking out of the apartment into the street.

Zak was trembling in his tears. Darryl was right. He should die. He deserved it anyway. Zak collapsed onto the ground, drowning in tears with a broken heart, sitting on the ground while watching the person he cared about the most walk away, not even giving a glance in his direction.

I should die. He was right. No one in this world cares about me. All I care about is trolling. What's the point of living anyway?

Zak realized. When Zak looked up again, he saw Darryl, appearing to not be paying attention to the cars because he was so angry, and Zak saw that a car was coming at Darryl. Zak got up despite his legs feeling numb and sprinted all the way to Darryl.

"What the hell do you want, Zak?"

Zak pushed Darryl out of the way, then felt something in his back snap and a great pain, before going black.
