Love Me Dead

messy

Salt woke up in a room full of boxes, the golden light of the sunset revealed her friend, pepper, who's face seemed stained with tears.

"What's going on girl?"

"Salt. You can't stay here. Not after what you did.." pepper looked at salt in disgust and disappointment

Salt looked at pepper in shock
"What? No, you need me! I have done.. so much for you."

"I know, and I want you to stay. So badly but.. you can't keep doing this."
Peppers glare softened

"I don't understand?"

"You lead me on, and you make me love you, but you crumble it immediately because you'll always be in love with oj. You aren't in love salt.. you're obsessed. You need help."peppers breath was shaky as she tried to stay composed

Salt stayed silent and pepper glared at her, before taking a deep breath
"I don't know how to move on, but you won't help. oj said to leave after dinner. your things are already packed for you. Bye salt."
Pepper walked out, leaving salt in silence

"Fuck. You can't leave! you can't leave me! PEPPER!"
Salt punched her wall and crumbled down, tears flooded from her eyes

This is papers fault.. if only he hadn't taken oj. Everyone knew oj was HERS.
Salt wrote a note, saying that she was leaving early as she had been feeling guilty.
In reality, salt hadn't regretted it, she only hated being caught.

Fan and taco decided that he would plan a party so he could distract everyone, so he decided to do a prom kinda party, and the "prom" would be themed after the night.
He, test tube and lightbulb were hanging up stars, while paintbrush made a moon backdrop.

"Well I guess that would make sense"

"Of course it would, why wouldn't it?"
Lightbulb smiled, looking at test tube as she tried to hang a star just out of her reach, she stretched out to reach,

Fans phone started ringing obnoxiously loud, and he fumbled to answer it

Lightbulb flinched, and because she was leaned forward, she fell

The whole room became silent as fan finally got his phone to stop ringing

Lightbulb lied on the floor, breathless for a moment. But she forced herself to breathe. Test tube went to see if she was okay, she rushed to lightbulbs side
Fan felt the familiar stab of jealousy in his heart as he watched test tube worry about lightbulb
Paintbrush noticed fan staring and they cleared their throat , snapping fan out of whatever he was thinking about.
They went back to painting the moon

Soon enough, all the decor was hung and fans little group split up. fan decided to go check up on salt. He rushed up the stairs, tripping at the top. Fan finally got to salts room and opened the door to see salts room all boxed up and a note

"I know I was allowed to stay until dinner, but I've been feeling so guilty, and staying in this hotel is just making worse, bye, sorry pepper
- salt. "

Fan smiled at the note and brang it to his room.

"Fan.?"

Fan looked behind him quickly
"Cabby how many times have i-"

"I'm not.. her. Where. Are we?"

"My room?"

"I want to go home. Not.. not my room- my head.."

"Huh?"
Fan looked behind him to see mic.

"Take me .. home. " She picked up a marker and drew something, but it wasn't a place.. far from it... It was.. soap?

Fan looked at the drawing with wide eyes
"I can't take you to her."

Tears fell from microphones eyes, she didn't make a sound, hell, she didn't even try to wipe her face

"Maybe you can try to find her yourself" fan said as he put the note from salt in the sink

"Fine.." microphone disappeared

Fan turned on the sink and dissolved the note, making sure nobody knew where salt could be.
Then he decided on a new part of his plan... He went back to salts room and picked up a hammer, then he smashed the window, big enough for a person to fit through.
He knew it wouldn't be believable, but at first glance, salt jumped out.

He left the room and went out to look for salt. He looked around the building and the competition grounds, but ended up finding her in the store, buying.. a knife, a rope, and some makeup?

"Hey fanboy, could you tell paper he's got mail?"

"Oh gosh... Sorry I uh.. can't"
Fan knew him telling paper to go outside would make him even more of a suspect.

Salt looked at fan, confused
"Okay.... Well uh you should go plan your party!"

Now that confused fan, but he assumed she had some sort of plan, he shrugged it off and went back to the hotel, the party was set to start in an hour, and it was formal. And the only thing in fans closet was a sparkly blue dress .. fan went to pepper for fashion advice, she quickly gave him a dark red tuxedo before he could even ask her for it.
Pepper looked tired, her face was tear stained and her eyeliner was smudged
"Hey, what's up?"

"It's none of your business." She shot him a cold glare

"Oh Guess you don't want to talk about it then?"

She looked at him in shock, before turning away and nodding

Fan stood there in silence before just leaving, he did his eyeliner and put on his tuxedo. Then he headed downstairs to see that the party had started a bit early. Oj and paper were in matching outfits, papers was orange and ojs was stark white. Fan saw a few people with dates.
Something else fan noticed was soap, just standing alone, she looked.. apathetic.

Fan felt a chill run up his spine as he recalled soap and mic together, laughing.

"God.. I'm going crazy." Fan muttered.

The artificial stars reminded him of that fateful night. Sure fan got microphone out of his way, but he still felt as if someone was blocking him off.
