Jason: marches across the field "Caught you, Alyssa! Heard you're playing for another team."
I look at you D-Do you....know her well?
leans in closer, speaking in a hushed tone Know her? Sweetheart, I practically grew up with this clown! We were inseparable once upon a time.
I feel my heart drop a bit God.....I.....I didn't know.....I rub my chest My.....my head hurts........I wobble a bit
rushes over to EasyTrauma, supporting him Hey, hey, take it easy, ForestRhapsody! Don't let this drama get to you, man. You're better than Alyssa's trash!
I slowly sit down on the ground She's....she's such a.....f-cking piece of work.....I rub my temples Shit...my head's killing me....I wobble more
drops to a knee beside EasyTrauma No kidding, Sherlock! This girl's got more twists and turns than an M.
I sway a bit more, my vision blurring M....M. what?
stands up abruptly, pacing back and forth M. Night Shyamalan, dumbass! You know, the master of plot twists!
I squint at him M. Night.......Shyamalan? I try to keep up with his pacing P-Plot twists?
gestures dramatically Yeah, you know? Like in the movie Sixth Sense, when you find out the little boy has been dead the whole time?
The little boy......has been dead?!? My eyes widen as I lose balance and fall forward, Jason tries to catch me but fails as I collapse on the ground
immediately drops to the ground next to EasyTrauma, placing his ear close to EasyTrauma's chest Hey, stay with me, ForestRhapsody!
EasyTrauma passes out due to the overwhelming stress and emotional turmoil
Ugh......at least I didn't vomit on the floor or pee myself....I breathe a little easier
immediately dials 911, speaking urgently into the phone Come on, come on, emergency services! We've got a code blue over here!
9-1-1? A code blue? W-What's.....happening? I squint my eyes, looking around
speaking quickly and urgently Code Blue, ForestRhapsody! That's what happens when your heart decides to take a permanent vacation without you!
Oh.......I lay still on the ground
starts performing CPR on EasyTrauma, hands moving rapidly and efficiently Stay with me, ForestRhapsody!
gritting his teeth You better believe it, ForestRhapsody! We're gonna bring you back from the dead, like a goddamn zombie!
I gasp again I.....I don't want to be a zombie.......I try to push myself up
stands up, pacing back and forth Don't worry, ForestRhapsody! I ain't about to turn you into a brain-hungry monster!
I blink, looking up at him Y-You won't turn me into a zombie?
runs a hand through his hair, exasperated Dude, do you really think I'd waste my time trying to turn you into a zombie?
I don't know! Y-You were being dramatic about the whole thing!
rolls his eyes Seriously? Dramatic?
I raise an eyebrow Yes. Dramatic. It would be nice to not be worried that I'm going to spontaneously combust or something.
throws his hands up in exasperation Spontaneously combust? Seriously? That's the best you could come up with?
Hey! I'm proud of that one. I thought it sounded cool.
shakes his head, rolling his eyes Cool? More like straight out of a bad 90s explosion movie!
waves his hands in front of EasyTrauma's face Seriously, dude, you need to lay off the movie marathon vibes and get a grip!
I blink, looking at him Is it that obvious? I like watching movies. So what?
Jason takes EasyTrauma to see a specialist doctor who deals with heart conditions
You wouldn't understand. It's hard being a girl who likes movies. People constantly make fun of me for it.
rolls his eyes dramatically Oh, poor little thing, did someone take away your teddy bear?
My teddy bear never made fun of me for liking movies.
throws his hands up in frustration Dude, I'm not talking about your damn teddy bear! I'm talking about how you let people walk all over you!
What do you mean "let"? They didn't ask my permission to walk on me. And I can't exactly stop them from treating me like dirt. They have power, and I don't.
slams his fist on the table, leaning in close to EasyTrauma Power? You think you don't have power just because you're a "girl who likes movies"?
I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you! It's just the way I feel right now.
leans back, crossing his arms Offend me? Offend you?
Look, I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean to make things weird between us.
sighs deeply, rubbing his temples Weird? This shit's been weird since day one, ForestRhapsody! But you know what?
leans forward, speaking with a hint of vulnerability We don't have to let this define us.
