One Friend

By Chesne

Part One

 

Joseph sat by himself, hovering over the lawn slightly to prevent from getting his pants wet from the grass. He felt completely empty, yesterday he had wonder around looking for something he couldn't find, but would have killed for, one friend. One that didn't look at his face and shudder remembering the past life he had once lead, one that he could laugh with, and just talk to without worrying that suspicious would rise. The radio he had brought with him was the only thing that could be heard, charging it up with his powers instead of batteries.

'Why should have a good clean relationship, a friendly one be so hard to find? Is this their silent punishment for the man I was? To torture the man I know am? It hurts so much to be completely alone,More than I'd like to feel'

"And this is a dedication going out to Arnold from Elisa, Garth Brooks new release"

WELL YOU AND I WERE BUDDIES

'I wish, that were true' he mentally used his power to switch stations, turning to yet another country DJ.

"Well, were back. And now for four great tomorrow favorites…"

' I doubt it.'

TOMORROWS A NEW DAYAND THE DAWN WILL COMEAND I'LL WATCH YOU WAKE UP…

'Well I certainly could care less.' He changed stations again.

MAKE MEMORIES WITH ME MAKE MEMORIES WITH MEFORGET THE ONE WHO MIGHT HAVE BEEN

'Rouge…I thought we could at least be friends at least to help me make a few good memories, but you too, still see that old bastard I must have been to deserve this! It's not fair!' The radio exploded when he thought the last words

He looked at the dead radio, ' Must everything I touch always end up that way? Maybe this nagging loneliness is what I deserve after being thankful that Rouge and Gambit were separated, but I lost in that to, for now she talks to barely anyone. Or has fantasies of ripeing a part of there being out of them, She got to wolverine, but she tried to get me first, should I be happy that she thought of me first? Or terrified?'

"What does it matter! No one cares about what happens to the greatest enemy the world had! It does not matter if I kill my self right now does it stars? It doesn't mean…anything to them to me to the world. All they would do is go 'oh look Joe's dead, oh well who cares just let him rot! Then he'll do some good as minerals for the new trees!' That's what they'd say because they don't care!" His eyes were brimming with tears by now, "And all I want from you dear people of earth is companionship, just one. One true friend for all the things that are yet to come." He couldn't help but hit the ground now the tears pouring down from his face made it hard to see, hard to focus. AS he cried on the shoulder of the night, one watched him from afar. Sarah knew how much it hurt to be alone, to be friendless and how much it could kill you to be unwanted. And yet, all she could do is watch and feel nothing.
