Searching For A (Dead) Friend

“… N-Nevermind I forgot.”

Jack opened the bedroom door, he sighed. “Let’s just go already…”

Collot was the last one to leave that very room, what he didn’t know was hell was about to come his way.

“Maybe we should check some of his friends dorms?” Miguno suggested.

“No because half of them are herbivores.” Jack replied.

“And the others?”

“We don’t know them.”

“True.”

Legoshi reached for your hand, holding it tight. “Lets look outside for a bit, remember that one time where he got stuck in a bush for 5 hours? Maybe he’s there again!”

“He’s right! And if he is I hope he isn’t deep in it again… That wasn’t fun to look at.” Jack said.

Flashbacks of that night filled collots headspace, voss’s mangled body wouldn’t leave his head. Everyone went to that bush that Voss was stuck in not too long ago.

A frown filled everyones face. “He’s… Not here.”  Jack said. Jack started to tear up. “What if we never find him!”

——

Collot POV: my shoulder started to feel a bit heavy.

“Poor Jack… Right? Collot?” Voss said.

Voss was on me, and he was normal again…

Your not real.

“Oh, I’m not? Well that car crash was very real, and my death, it would be a shame if somebody found out that you hid my own body to save your sorry ass.”

“YOUR NOT REAL!!!”

….

“Woah, you alright collot?” Y/N asked me.

I looked over my shoulder and he was gone, I need to get the hell out of here.

——

3RD POV: collot ran off, breaking down in tears.

“He’s really upset, everyone is.” Durham said while petting Jack.

“Did… Did no one else hear what he just said?” 

“I did Y/N, he said ‘your not real’ whatever that means.” Legoshi replied.

“No something isn’t right why is he acting like this?”

Jack wiped his tears away. “He is just upset that’s all, maybe he needs some time. But I don’t know why he said that, that’s a bit… Strange…”

“Yeah your damn right that’s strange, he’s not telling us everything and it shows.”

“But Y/N how are we so sure? What are you implying?”

You sighed. “I’m implying that he isn’t telling us the full details on where he was and what happened.”

“He’s… Got a point Jack.” Durham chimed in.

“Ok… What do we do?” Jack asked.

“I’ll figure something out.”

The search continued, but as you were walking someone was calling your name. It was Kai.

“Oh, hi kai.”

“Can I talk to you real quick?”

You looked over at your boyfriend, and then at your friends, then back at Kai. “Sure?”

“Great! Follow me.”

Kai led you behind a staircase. “Ok this is about collot.”

“What about collot?”

“Listen to me ok? I think collot was drunk driving yesterday.”

“Um… How?”

“Because he was at that fucking party, and he was taking shot after shot! Everyone was watching!”

You scratched behind your ear. “And you let him drive off?!”

“What? Dude I left before him, while I was walking back to the school I saw him going super fucking fast down the road in that fucking car.”

“Was anyone else in that vehicle?” You asked sounding worried.

“N-No not that I know of…” He leaned over at you. “Why? Tell me why Y/N what’s with the weird question?”

“Don’t worry about it, I was just wondering…”

“I might be going crazy but I did hear a noise l-like a loud BANG down the road as well, but I’m not sure.” Kai said, while making funny hang gestures.

“Thanks for the information, but why did I need to know again?”

“Because you need to tell him to stop that shit, before someone gets hurt or killed!”

“… Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow kai.”

You walked away from him.

“No you won’t! We’re going to the city tomorrow! Remember! Get back here you idiot!”

You went back to your crew. “Any signs of Voss anywhere?”

Miguno looked over at you. “Not yet, let’s keep looking.”

Legoshi kissed you. “You ok?”

“Yeah of course…”

You weren’t ok, the truth of collot started to come out at a rapid rate already. You had to be sure if he really did do something to Voss, the drunk driving, the sudden breakdowns, the quiet behavior, and him not wanting to tell anyone else to search for Voss.

This isn’t how collot acts like, everyone sees this. Did he kill him? Did he lose him? Did he forget him? What happened? What’s with the odd behavior? And where did collot run off to? Well… Time to find out.

2 Hours Later…

Still no sign of Voss, his belongings are still in the dorm.

“We’ll try tomorrow…” Legoshi said.

“No we have to tell someone! This is Voss we are talking about! He’s way to small to be out there!” Jack complained.

“Jack maybe you should-”

“No Durham! This is bullshit! I’m not listening to collot!”

Everyone’s eye’s lit up, he was one pissed dog.

“Wow…” You mumbled.

Collot entered the room shortly after Jacks tantrum.

“And where the hell were you? You had us worried as well!”

You got up. “Jack calm down!”

“Why should I? So you and legoshi can fuck in peace?”

“What? Jack this isn’t you stop acting dumb!”

“At this point I don’t care! I-”

Miguno punched Jack which shut him up quick. “What? I had to do it!”

Jack walked to the bathroom to cool down, then there were five.

“Sorry about that Durham, I know that you guys have a thing…” Miguno apologized.

“I won’t say he didn’t deserve it, he was about to hit Y/N anyways.”

“He was?” You were clueless.

Durham crossed his legs. “Yuuup, his fist was clenched. That’s the most I’ve ever seen Jack mad before. Kinda hot

“Same…” Collot said.

“That’s a first, he never showed aggression to me before.”

Miguno chuckled. “It’s fucking scary when he gets mad, cause you never know what he’ll do or say.”

The bathroom door opened, Jack walked up to you while looking down. He hugged you.

Sorry

“It’s fine Jack, just try not to do that again ok?”

He nodded.

Shit has to change quick, otherwise everyone will lose their mind.
