A Lonesome Pup

"Who the... Heck are you, and what are you doing exposing Fishi to a crowd like that?"

He looked down, he couldn't stand up for himself. He rather have her scold him or break his neck than say anything. He was silent as the grave, he knew computer would either scold him or warn him but he didn't care. He was used to being hurt so why should he run or defend himself?

"Wooee. Tough crowd. Better pray for intervention from the little girl. That girl's gun's loaded."

He remained silent, not saying anything in return to computer's comment. Computer had been the one to chose to live on his shoulder not him. He was doing what he would've done regardless of computer's sitting on his shoulder. He wasn't one to talk up or defend himself, he knew he was a idiot for coming. His gaze focused on the hands in his lap, then the girl came to him. He moved his hands letting her sit on his lap.

"He's nice. He let me stay with him when I found the scary man. And then he gave me a cookie. And then he was really sad so all the loud people started being stupid, I don't know why... But he's nice. I like him. You can't be mean."

The girl was standing up for him, he held back tears. He was feeling miserable, he wanted to just go home. All these people and everything was just too much for him to deal with. He wanted to go but the girl was on his lap, he was trapped. Ri was probably glad he was, everything seemed against him. He just wanted to go away forever, he didn't want to deal with his loss and he didn't want to let go of her. But she had let go of him already. She was gone, forever.

"Ok Fishi, come 'ere. I'll be noice. I can't believe I'm doing this. Oi, Whats-your-name."

"His name's Edward."

"Ok. Oi, Edward."

He was slapped twice pretty hard too, yet he acted like nothing happened. He didn't wince didn't show any sign of pain from the slap, he remained very depressed. His thoughts wandered to the girl he loved, he sighed his heart was in more pain than her slap times ten. He sighed, there was no change in the boy.

"You're being a complete a... Idiot. This chick, she ain't worth your time. If she left a good looking sweety like yourself, she belongs in a freaking insane asylum. So snap out of it before... Somebody beats you up for being a freaking wimp."

He didn't change, "I'm sorry, if you want you can beat me for your own amusement." He said with a sigh, he sounded really pathetic. Not wimp like, but more like pathetic. He had given his heart to a girl only to have it broken in a million pieces and loose both her and his heart. He sighed, "I told you I shouldn't have come. Your lucky I didn't give you back to her, or else she would've made you into a brush which you probably would've been better at being anyway stupid computer." Edward said annoyed at the computer, of course he didn't mean it. But in his bitterness and heartbreak he was just angry inside towards himself and therefore the computer as well.

"I though you were going to be nice."

"Sweetheart, I was. Just not... in a 5-year-old way."

He sighed, "Sorry Ri... I'm not myself today. I've..." He stopped, and left the dance. It was as if something posessed him to leave. The boy had felt a gas that shouldn't be here. His mind was subconciously always scanning gases in the air. He walked towards the woods, sensing something was amiss. He wondered what could possibly disturb the gasses. He ran faster into the woods, suddenly everything went black.

Nothing but darkness was visable, no one had touched the boy. And if they had, they weren't physically there. The boy was unconcious on the ground. Surely Ri was scanning the area to find the cause. But seeing the suddenity of it, one would imagine it wouldn't be found.

A branch was then noted later on, one could guess because of the darkness of the woods he missed it in his rush and knocked himself out. Well at least he wouldn't commit sucide at the moment.
