Ninjago: Somebody that I used to know.
(A/n: Okay. New story, and I know. "When are you going to FINALLY update Christmas Colors!?" Well, to answer that I still have writers block...I can't do anything about that. Sorry. All I know is that it should be updated soon. Promise maybe in the next two days. MAYBE! Anyways. This is, my friends is what some of you voted for! A GreenFlame depression story. ;) I have to delete that option off of the list now. SO much effort..Well ...I'm in your closet. Just a heads up! Oh yeah. Season 5 hasn't happened yet in this story. XD WARNING: If this story makes you cry I'm sorry...sometimes I put too much emotion into things...due to personal experiences)
The Red, blue, black and white ninja stood outside Lloyd's room on the new and improved bounty. Kai knocked on the green door.
"Lloyd...?" He called out gently. He got no response. Lloyd has recently been locking himself away from everyone. He has been really moody. He barley talks. He always says negative things. He hasn't smiled ever since his dad was locked away in the cursed realm.
Kai and Cole exchanged worried looks. Kai knocked again. "Lloyd? Open the door..."
Kai received no response again.
"He's not going to speak...is he?" Zane questioned.
Kai turned to his brother. "No...I...don't think so."
"Oh man. Losing his dad hit this kid hard." Jay sighed.
"Yeah...it has..." Cole agreed.
Kai nodded slowly. He could to relate to what Lloyd was feeling. Losing his dad hit him hard too. Nya didn't really understand but she was over it now. However Kai...he still bottled up his emotions...
"Lloyd...please open the door." Kai begged.
"Kai, leave it. He's not going to open it!" Cole exclaimed.
Kai turned to his friend. "Well. I'm staying here until he does..." Kai cleared his throat.
Cole nodded slowly. "Okay. Well I guess we will wait too."
Everyone nodded.
Kai knocked again. "Lloyd. Come on. You're worrying all of us."
Kai heard Lloyd let out a loud sad sigh. He then heard shuffling. The door opened slowly. Lloyd stood there. He had large black bags under his eyes, proving that he hadn't slept in a while. His hair was a mess and he had a upset look on his pale face.
Kai's mouth gaped open at his condition. That's how Nya described how Kai looked when he lost his dad.
"..." Lloyd looked over at Kai.
"Lloyd. You've worried us all." Zane said from behind Cole.
Lloyd looked over at Zane. He didn't say anything he just looked away and back over at Kai.
Kai's face was filled with worry and concern.
Cole and Jay exchanged looks. "Lloyd..." Jay began. "We don't like it when you're like this.. Where did the happy and excited Lloyd go?" Jay asked, becoming serious.
Lloyd let out a sigh. "..." He still didn't say anything.
The others gave up. They walked away. Kai stood there.
Lloyd looked over at him.
"Just...try to take care of yourself...please? I'm always here okay?" Kai said gently.
Lloyd's eyes widened slightly. He nodded slowly. He then turned and closed the door.
Kai smiled half heartedly. He then turned and followed the others.
Lloyd sat on his bed. His head hung low. He was so rapped up in his emotions that he didn't know what to do anymore. He slowly got up and splashed water on his face, when he saw his reflection in the mirror he gasped.
'...I really let myself go...' Lloyd thought to himself. He heard his stomach growl. He hadn't eaten in three days. He needed to eat something, but he didn't feel like it. He couldn't bring himself to do it.
Lloyd looked away from the mirror and walked out of his bathroom.
He slammed the door shut.
He then let out another sigh. He missed his dad. He really did. Lloyd collapsed onto his bed, he began sobbing into his pillow. He needed some kind of pain...like always. He sat up straight. He need to get to the kitchen without being seen...
He slowly rose from his bed, tears still rolling down his face.
He opened his door.
The light burnt his eyes, he had been sitting in the dark for so long. Seven days...
He slowly walked out, he left his door open.
He walked past the living room where he could hear Cole and Jay arguing over who won the match and who cheated, he could then hear Zane and Nya laughing at them. He then heard the clink of Sensei putting his teacup down. He then heard what he thought was Kai's voice.
Lloyd ducked under the window, when he was past the door he stood up straight.
He slowly opened the kitchen door. He walked over to where the sharp knives where held.
He pulled one out. He brought it to his wrist, he then heard something smash. He looked up. Kai stood in the door way in front of him, he just dropped his glass cup.
Lloyd put the knife behind his back. He stared back at the shocked Kai in front of him.
Kai's mouth was gaped open. His eyes were wide. Just like Lloyd's...
"L-Lloyd..." Kai stuttered.
Lloyd gulped.
Kai walked up to Lloyd. "...What do you think you're doing?" Kai asked still shocked.
Lloyd's bottom lip quivered slightly. "..."
Kai watched as Lloyd dropped the knife from behind his back.
Kai picked it up. "You've been..." He couldn't finish his sentence.
The Red Ninja put the knife on the kitchen side. He turned his head back to Lloyd.
Lloyd gulped.
"Lloyd..." Kai voice was gentle. "Why are you doing this to yourself?"
Lloyd opened his mouth slightly. He then shut it.
Kai let out a sigh. "Is this how you relieve your pain? Hurting yourself even more?!" Kai raised his voice. "Lloyd! Why?"
Lloyd's eyes began to water.
Kai's mouth gaped open. "Lloyd..."
Lloyd began to cry. He just stood there. Looking at Kai and crying.
"I-I got nothing left here. I-I just want to die. I can't handle it anymore...It hurts Kai! It hurts...I just want to see my dad again...I just want to s-see him a-a-again.." Lloyd sobbed his voice cracking every now and then.
Kai's eyes widened.
"It's like I have no family left! I haven't seen my mum in months. I can't see my d-dad anymore. F-For all I-I know he could be..-d-dead!" Lloyd carried on crying.
Lloyd feel to his knees. "I just can't deal with it...having nothing. Nobody! I can't deal with it...I just got him back, and I've lost him...again..." Lloyd looked down to the ground. "I just want to see him again. I just want my dad...this just hurts me so much. I can't...I can't...it hurts...all of me..."Lloyd trailed off.
Kai knelled down in front of Lloyd. "...I understand where you're coming from...when I lost my dad, that's all I wanted. All I ever wanted...but you can't do this to yourself! Don't make the mistakes I have made. Don't do this to yourself! I know it hurts, I know exactly how you feel. I slit my wrists. I locked myself away. Let my self go. Never ate. Never spoke. Never even gave eye contact. I was lost in my own emotions..." Kai watched as Lloyd slowly lifted his head.
"Kai...I don't know what to do anymore...I really don't. I've let myself go I know...but I can't help it. I can't do anything! I can't!" Lloyd yelled 'I can't'. The boys heard rushing footsteps enter the kitchen. They suddenly stopped.
"Don't say that. You can! You've kept it bottled up for so long. It hurts even more. All the anger and sadness...it makes it worse. When I lost my dad, I made that mistake. Lloyd..." Kai let out a sigh. "You're going down the long painful road I went down. The self harm...the pain. Anger. All of it. I know how you feel...if I'm honest...I haven't gotten over my dad's death...and it's been...six years..." Kai looked away. "Don't make the same mistakes I have been. I don't want someone who's in the same position as me...to do what I did."
"I want to die. I don't want to live anymore! I've given up! I don't want to be the green Ninja. I don't want to live!" Lloyd yelled.
Lloyd just kept crying. He couldn't speak anymore. He could do anything. He felt Kai rub his back in a comforting manor.
Kai noticed the others staring at them. Kai looked over to them. Sadness in his own eyes...
Nya could tell Kai was trying to hold back tears himself...
Cole and Jay exchanged sympathetic looks.
Zane and Sensei shook their heads.
Zane would say he could relate, but he couldn't he got his father back...
They all knew, from that day...that helping Lloyd was going to be difficult. They all knew...losing someone close...isn't easy. Not easy at all.
(A/n: Okay, so...who almost cried? Tell me in the reviews I almost made myself cry O.O Wow...)
