You Are So Dark & Fragile...


Nathan: I so wish King of Fighters' series can be continued on Xbox. I just love that game!
Yuriy: Yea man. I enjoyed playing that game during my high school days.
Nathan: I'm pretty sure that was one of the few things you miss from your high school days.
Yuriy: Hmm, I actually don't remember anything that I learned in high school.
Nathan: College is just so much better.
Yuriy: True.
Shirley walks in.
Shirley: Nathan?
Nathan: Yea, what's up? 
Shirley: Can I talk to you for a second?
Nathan: I'll meet you outside. Just give a minute. Shirley nods.
Yuriy: You wanna hang tomorrow?
Nathan: Yea sure. It was nice seeing you. 
Yuriy: Same dude. Have fun with your girl.
Nathan: You better get a girlfriend soon.
Yuriy: Oh, I will.
Nathan: Adios.
Yuriy: Au revoir.
Nathan meets Shirley outside. 
Nathan: Hey, how come you are here? I said I was gonna come by your house in like an hour.
Shirley: No, it's fine. I just wanna say something.
Nathan: Hopefully something nice.
Shirley: Is it okay if we don't see each other anymore?
Nathan: What?
Shirley: Don't give me that look. I think we should move on.
Nathan: Really? Me giving you a look is a problem here? What did I do wrong?
Shirley: You didn't do anything wrong. I just don't feel the same about you anymore.
Nathan: Like you don’t love me anymore?
Shirley: No. I was crazy for you for a long time. I just don't feel the craziness for you anymore.
Nathan: So, you just wanna end this? What are you gonna do when our relationship is over?
Shirley: I met someone. Don't know him much, but he seems nice.
Nathan without even saying anything just walks away. 
Shirley: I'm sorry.

Fourteen months later. 

Alyssa: I'm so happy for you. I always thought I would get married before you.
Shirley: Chill, I'm only getting engaged.
Alyssa: Still, my boyfriend hasn't even thought about proposing me.
Shirley: How do you know if he hasn't thought about it?
Alyssa: I just know. Like if you hang around for a while with someone who you like, you would know what they are thinking in their heads.
Shirley: Okay Aly.
Alyssa: I'm telling you. Hey, give me a minute. I gotta go upstairs real quick.
Shirley: Go ahead.
Shirley gets into a group chat with her friends. 
Alyssa walks into her room.
Alyssa: I almost forgot about her gift.
Lights go off. 
Alyssa: What the? Really?
She calls Shirley from upstairs.
Shirley: You okay?
Alyssa: Yea but what happened to the power?
Shirley: What do you mean?
Alyssa: It's pitch black out here, how can you even ask me a question like that one?
Shirley: Pitch black? Is it dark up there?
Alyssa: We just freaking lost the power.
Shirley: No, we didn't? Probably something wrong with the power upstairs?
Alyssa: I don't know. Well, I'm coming down.
Alyssa hangs the phone.
Shirley: Where is Alyssa?
Donnic: Didn't she go upstairs?
Shirley: Yea but she was supposed to come downstairs like ten minutes ago. I'm gonna go check on her.
Shirley enters Alyssa's room and notices no darkness as Alyssa said it was.
Shirley: You said the power wasn't working up here. Alyssa? Hey, where are you?
Shirley picks up a note.
Shirley: 'You are so dark and fragile'? What is this?
Shirley finds Alyssa on the floor.
Shirley: Alyssa! Hey, wake up. Wake up I said! Alyssa, you can't be playing games right now.
Donnic: Hey what's wrong?
Shirley: It's Alyssa. She is not waking up.
Donnic: Dude, call 911. We got a problem here.
Keenan: Yo, is that Aly?
Donnic: Call 911!
Keenan: Okay okay.

Three hours later.

Doctor: Shirley?
Shirley: Yes doctor? How is Alyssa?
Doctor: I'm not a hundred percent sure what happened to her, but she needs some more observation. We are trying to figure out what happened. I'll come back to you soon. 
Shirley with tears in her eyes.
Shirley: Aly, please!
