[Roleplay] The Rebuilding - Continuation of The Aftermath

[toxapex]

"...No... Say Sage is dead, and you'll stop saying she's alive... Then I'll come out..."

 

[Naiad]

"..... Helix, open the door."

 

[toxapex]

"No....."

 

[Myst]

In front of my eyes was an exact replica of the bunker, down to the very detail. "Wow..." I look around me before flaring up in anger. "Why didn't you tell me you were involved?!"

I scratch the back of my head nervously. "Sage, I'm sorry. It wasn't a thing I had a choice in." I look down ashamed before saying, "Don't worry. I cut off all ties and I'm no longer a part of the project."

"I have to tell the others." I say, walking off to find a phone.

I grab her arm. "Sage, don't. Remember the plan. If you call now, they'll think I kidnapped you and we'll be separated forever. Just wait a bit. Everything will work out. You'll see." I smile.

"I guess so..."

"Feeling hungry?" I ask at an attempt for a topic change.

"Sure." I answer as I follow him towards the dining area.

 

[Naiad]

I walk away from the door so Helix can't listen in on my call. I sigh and take out my phone. My hands shake as I dial the hospital's number.

"Can you connect me to the patient Blaze? He should be on the third floor."

 

[Myst]

I wake up to the sound of my bedside phone ringing. I pick up, voice still groggy. "Hey."

 

[Naiad]

"Blaze, I need your help."

 

[toxapex]

I need to be alone... I look around and see the window. I climb through it and start running away from Sai's house...

I keep running until I'm at the bench by the ocean... where I saved Sage one time, before she could...

...drown herself...

 

[Myst]

"What kind of help? I won't be released until tomorrow afternoon."

 

[Naiad]

"...Helix and I had a...disagreement. He won't leave his room. Can you talk to him? I just don't want him to do something stupid..."

 

[toxapex]

"I wonder what she saw... in this place..." I look over the edge, and become mesmerized by the crashing waves.

 

[Myst]

I laugh. "Alright, put him on the phone. I'll see if I can pound some sense into him."

 

[Naiad]

I smile softly. "Thanks, Blaze."

I knock on Helix's door. "Helix?"
No response.

Unlock the door. Trust me.

I push the door open slowly. "Oh god..."

 

[Myst]

"No problem. That's what friends are for."

 

[toxapex]

"Huh..." I look into the ocean.

It would be so easy... just one leap.

End it all and join her... forever...

"No..." I step away from the edge and sit on the bench. I look around to see that nobody's looking, and I begin to sob once again...

 

[Naiad]

Yeah, friends. The stinging returns to my chest. Now's not the time. Not now. Not when you're finally talking to him. Not when he's finally awake.

I hold the phone up to my ear. "B— Blaze....." My voice is shaky.

 

[Myst]

"Did something happen?" I ask cautiously.

 

[Naiad]

"Helix is gone..." I drop to my knees. "This is all my fault..."

Panic begins to take over me. "Wh— What if he decided that he couldn't live without Sage?" I feel tears well up.

 

[toxapex]

"No... that's it..." I have nobody. Sage is dead, Orion went crazy, Shad is in the same boat, and even Sai...

Sai won't listen to me...

I get up and walk to the edge once again...

 

[Myst]

I sigh. "It's not your fault... you tried. Anyways, you might not be too late. Isn't Sage obsessed with the ocean? Maybe Helix went there." I advise calmly.
