Izaya: Hello there~, my lovely humans~!

Shizuo: Shut up. I'm in charge here.

Izaya: Oh ho~? And who may I ask placed a protozoan in a seat of power and diplomacy over myself~?

Shizuo: I did, just now.

Izaya: And who is to say I agree to this?

Shizuo: Didn't I tell you to shut up? The leader is trying to talk here.

Izaya: Hmm, this'll be interesting~! Go on~

Shizuo: Tch. So. I'm sure you all were expecting some stupid drabble about me and that flea doing lovey dovey shit together.

Izaya: *chuckle*

Shizuo: Well you're gonna be disappointed, cuz none of that's happening here.

Izaya: I'm sure you're disappointed, Shizu-chan~~

Shizuo: We're just here to tell you that you probably won't be getting any of that romantic bull, or at least, not from here.

Izaya: Author-san isn't feeling very well lately~

Shizuo: So. Yeah. That's all I have to say on the matter. *stomps off for a cigarette*

Izaya: Since that monster is out of the way, I'll be happy to inform all you humans about what's been happening lately! I'll even do it for free, because I love you so much! Isn't that kind of me~?

Mikado: But Izaya-san, aren't you doing this because Author-san made you-

Izaya: Silly Ryugamine-kun, no one can make me do anything! Everything I do is for the sole purpose of keeping myself amused~

Mikado: ...Right. After you say that, I get the feeling you won't take this job very seriously, Izaya-san.

Izaya: Well if you think you can do better, be my guest~

Mikado: Um, alright. So, recently, things haven't been going very well for Author-san.

Izaya: Hehe~

Mikado: She's... well, she's been fairly overwhelmed by life lately.

Izaya: That's because she's weak~ If she were more like me, she would realize all the true joys of life and humanity!

Mikado: Are you quite finished?

Izaya: ...

Mikado: ...?

Izaya: ...

Mikado: *swallows nervously*

Izaya: ...Yes ;D

Mikado: Thank you :l

Izaya: You're very welcome~~~

Mikado: ANYWAY! Author-san has had a lot of troubles lately. She went through a really awkward break up, but that was really only the start of her troubles.

Kida: Yeah. Soon after that, someone she was pretty close to got arrested.

Mikado: ...! When did you get here?!

Kida: I have my ways~!

Mikado: ...Yeah. Back to the original subject then.

Kida: His arrest was especially hard on her because of WHY he was arrested.

Izaya: Turns out he had been molesting a girl around her age~ (16)

Mikado: She was completely shocked by this, of course.

Kida: He was one of the sweetest, goofiest guys she knew, and he had these jokes that were so damn corny, only he thought they were funny.

Mikado: *eyes Kida* I wonder why that sounds familiar?

Kida: I have no idea, since my jokes are awesome!

Mikado: I never said anything about your jokes.

Kida: Moving right along!

Mikado: Fine. This person was one of the only adults she really trusted, and he had a daughter of his own, so Author-san was so confused when all this came to light. She was hurting, and didn't understand at all. Her Youth Leader tried to talk to her about it, but she was crying so hard she couldn't speak. She was handed the number of a therapist specializing in troubled teenagers, but couldn't bring herself to call.

Kida: Just as she began recovering from that blow... she did something kind of dumb.

Mikado: This one little thing turned into a lie, which led to another lie, which led to another lie... But suddenly the truth came out.

Kida: And her two best friends were ripped apart, from each other and from her.

Mikado: She missed them both, but since they were fighting and she had caused it, she felt like it was wrong of her to take sides in the conflict. But she didn't just want to lose them forever either, and felt like if she made up with one of them, she'd be choosing one friend over the other. She was so confused that for a while she couldn't bear to face either of them.

Kida: She became depressed without them, and started doing more stupid things. She dyed her hair despite her mom telling her she wasn't allowed to, and started skipping a bunch of her classes.

Mikado: When she went to class she would always end up thinking about her friends and couldn't concentrate on the work, and thought, what is the point of going?

Kida: But one day she decided to talk to one of her best friends. Her friend was almost as confused as she was, and was more upset at her third friend than anything else. She had blamed the third friend for the lying, and accepted AS back readily. (This friend from this point on shall be referred to as 'Close Friend')

Mikado: AS was too frightened and ashamed to admit she'd had a part in the lying, so she said nothing. Her fear had come true, she was picking one friend over the other.

Kida: After a while, the third friend started approaching her, smiling and joking just like she always did. But AS remembered how hurt their Close Friend was, and turned away coldly from her third friend. She resented her for being unaffected while they were both so broken up over everything that was happening.

Mikado: Her third friend kept trying, and everytime AS would walk away without a word, she wanted to cry. She wanted to cry and she scream at her friend for letting all of this happen.

Kida: But on the inside, AS knew she caused this, so it was right that she suffer, right?

Mikado: Finally AS went to her Close Friend and begged her to consider forgiving their third friend. She told her how this wasn't just affecting one of them, how AS was being hurt by her Close Friend's indifference too.

Kida: Her Close Friend sighed and lamented over her own feelings, and AS began to resent her too.

Mikado: So AS did what she did best. Went home and spent hours on the internet doing nothing.

Kida: Sadly, the internet was just about the only thing that didn't depress her anymore. So she kept skipping classes and avoiding her happy third friend, or flat out ignoring her.

Mikado: As to be expected, AS's grades were slipping. A lot. But in her depression she couldn't bring herself to care. Her mom hasn't found out yet, but when she does, there will be hell to pay. And her internet privileges will be revoked, just as they have been in the past.

Kida: Remember how the internet was the only thing keeping her happy? Yeah.

Mikado: She decided to go to her older brother for advice, because he is very, very smart.

Kida: Once he knew everything, there was a long pause, and then he told her the best option in her situation was...

Izaya: To kill herself~ Not bad advice if you ask me!

Kida: *growl* NO ONE ASKED YOU.

Mikado: She was so out of her usual cheerful state, for a while she considered his advice. In the end, she decided she would wait everything out and see how bad things were going to get before she did anything that drastic.

Izaya: *shrug* I can wait.

Kida: You-!

Mikado: Then one day when she had stayed after school, she was alone with her third friend. And she couldn't find her phone.

Kida: *huff* She panicked because she had no way to get home, and her dad was expecting her to call. She was terrified of what her parents would do if they knew she lost her phone.

Izaya: She started bawling like a baby~

Kida: CAN YOU SHUT UP ALREADY?!

Mikado: Her third friend held her close and promised everything would be okay, and got together a group of people to search the school for her phone.

Kida: Eventually the group dwindled as people had to go home, and the phone was still missing when it was just AS and her third friend left. Soon her distressed mumbling about her phone turned to crying about how much she had missed her friend.

Mikado: To her shock, her friend started crying too. For a long time they stood and cried and hugged and talked about how horrible their lives apart were. It turns out that her friend's happiness was just a mask. She was wrecked up about what happened too.

Kida: Her third friend, who has earned the title of Awesome Friend, resolved to talk to her Close Friend and apologize. AS was very happy, even though her phone was still missing.

Mikado: Her Awesome Friend drove her home, and they next day they both spoke to their Close Friend.

Izaya: But it turns out her Awesome Friend was just as scared as she was~

Mikado: Her Awesome Friend couldn't think of the words to say, and was afraid to screw everything up even more. So she just said 'I'm sorry,' and ran off in fear.

Kida: AS was satisfied with that, but her Close Friend huffed and grumbled about needing a better apology.

Mikado: AS pleaded with the both of them, telling her Awesome Friend what she needed to say, telling her Close Friend she needed to be more understanding, but they refused to say another word to each other.

Kida: AS has since then found her phone. She is happier than she was but now more scared than ever of her grades. Awesome Friend and Close Friend still refuse to speak to each other.

Mikado: AS's year is not starting as she thought it would. But she is hopeful that she will survive this. She is putting the thought of suicide behind her, because she knows now that she has friends who will be very upset if that happens.

Kida: AS is trying hard to turn her life around. She wants to be on better terms with her family. She wants to not have to be afraid of her mother. She wants to be happy.

Izaya: But right now, she really isn't.

Mikado: She finds it hard to become excited about anything.

Kida: She is no longer confident in anything she does.

Izaya: She can't trust the people around her not to hurt her anymore.

Shizuo: She HATES feeling like this.

Izaya: But it's the truth.

Mikado: She doesn't even really enjoy Durarara anymore...

Kida: Let alone writing about it.

Izaya: But don't worry! She's still totally obsessed with yours truly, no matter what happens!

Shizuo: Tch.

Izaya: She'll definitely keep writing about me~~~!

Mikado: But that probably won't happen in the near future.

Izaya: Awww ;(

So thank you for reading, and please, don't hate me too much! I know this is probably disappointing to everyone, but it's just the truth. I'm sorry.

And I'm really sorry to Icywarm especially D: It's been fun, but, I think I'm going to put Durarara behind me now. I'll try to finish up the stories I have going on right now, but... that'll be it, I guess!

So, thank you to all my readers. You guys have odd taste, since you like me, but you're all awesome anyway.

Also, (and I know I'm rambling A LOT but please bear with me) I'd like to say something about that break up I mentioned.

Well, two things really.

1. I was dating a girl. If you're gonna hate, hate. I really don't care at this point.

2. I broke up with her. And I broke up with her because she wanted to do certain things that I was just not ready for. And when I tried to tell her no she tried to force me. Me being a lot smaller than her, I freaked out, and broke up with her.

But I was NOT overreacting. So I just want to say to everyone that, if you are in a relationship and someone is trying to make you do things you are not ready for, you either need to set that straight and MAKE SURE they understand that, or you need to end the relationship. Period. It is just not okay. I don't care if it's a girl pressuring a girl, a guy pressuring a guy, a girl pressuring a guy, or a guy pressuring a girl. It's not okay. On any level.

So there's my little PSA for the day. Be safe, and know you have a choice in this. (And please don't hate on my ex. She's not a bad person, she's just a lot more experienced and ready for that kind of thing, while I am not.)

(Oh. And don't hate on my bro either. He's always been like that. He just tries to work things out in ways that seem logical to him. I'm not angry at him, and we still talk. Thanks.)

Well, bye~!
