Stokeley pov:

Jah and I were currently in a very intense battle playing super smash bros.

" hey that's not fair" I whined as Jah made my character fall.
He only giggled at seeing me lose.

" not funny" I argue back.

Jah knocks me down another time causing me to lose all my lives which led to him winning.

" oh come on" I yell out frustrated.

" how'd you get so good at this game?" I ask him still working on getting him to talk.

The only response I get is a shake of his head indicating he doesn't know.

" well you wore me out so I'm going to go take a nap" I inform him.
He nods his head in approval.

" just don't do anything I wouldn't do" I say finally before heading up to get some rest.

Jahseh's pov:

I wanted to do something for Stokeley.
He's been nothing but good to me and I never am able to do good for him.

So I decided I should make him something.
Maybe I could make him a cake.
I've never really cooked but how hard can it be.

I searched up a recipe and started looking around for the ingredients.
I started mixing the wet ingredients together then I did the dry ones.
Finally I mixed it all together.
I was planning on writing his name across the top when I finished.
I looked around for a pan to pour it in.
The only pan I found was metal with wooden edges.
I decided it would work.
I set the timer for 30 minutes sliding the cake into the oven.

I was currently in the living room playing destiny when I started to sense an odd smell.
I got up to go check on my cake only to see that there was a fire in the oven.

" shit" I repeatedly mumble to myself.
I quickly grabbed a cup of water releasing it onto the fire.
Before I knew it i heard the sound of feet rushing down the stairs.

" what the fuck did you do?" Stokeley yells out beyond furious.
He rushed over turning of the oven and pressing a button that extinguished all the gas.
I saw that my cake was nothing but ashes.

Stokeley turned around to face me with a furious expression.

" why was the oven on fire?" He asks in a stern but calm tone.

" I..I" I continued stuttering.
I wanted to tell him but the words just wouldn't come out of my mouth.

" just go you already caused enough problems" Stokeley announces pointing for me to go upstairs.

I ran as fast as I could before Stokeley could see the tears that were threatening to fall.
I really fucked up.
This was the first time Stokeley has ever yelled at me.
I guess it was the last too.
I don't want to cause him anymore trouble.
I went into the bathroom to do something I haven't done in a long time.
I pulled up my sleeve grabbing a small razor blade.
I began to cut as I stared at my pathetic self into the mirror.
I could barely even look because all I saw was disappointment.
I started to cry not being able to hold it in any longer.
This was my last chance and I blew it.

I started to pack up some clothes and I grabbed the stitch stuffie that Stokeley bought me.
I needed at least one thing to remember him.

Once I was all packed one last tear left my eye before I quickly and quietly walked my way down stairs.

" good bye Stokeley" I mumbled to myself before walking out the door.

Stokeley pov:

I can't believe he did that.
Like what was he trying to do?
I talk to him tomorrow about it.
I'm to tired to worry.
I just hope he knows I'll forgive him.
I guess I might of overreacted.

I have to go talk to him.
I can't sleep knowing he is probably crying his eyes out.

I got up and walked over to his room seeing that the lights were of.

" Jah" I say quietly.
No response.
He might already be asleep.
I turned the lights on just to make sure but no one was there.

" Jah" I yell a little louder.

I start searching his room and I notice his stitch stuffie is missing along with some other things.

It finally hits me and I realize that he must of ran away.
I should of known he was sensitive to these type of things.
I messed up bad.

What do ya think?
