A/N: Right. So this is the sequel to Falling under. I'd recommend reading that first if you haven't already. I'm actually starting to feel a bit obsessive since this is my second fanfic for the same game... but who cares?
Enjoy. Rate Subscribe Review~!
Chapter one: An off Day
Slight rays of light stream through my window. Everything looks the same... plain and boring. Silence... The only thing I hear is the ticking of a clock.

Damn. This sucks...

I've tried everything I could think of.

I turned on the TV, but nothing captivated my interest...

I've tried reading a book but the words seem to blur together, into squiggly unfocused lines.

I tried playing my guitar, but I just strummed it tunelessly a few times...

Sighing, I closed my eyes and sank further into the couch.
...
Great. I think I can hear my faucet leaking too.

"Aaaahhhh! I'm gonna go insane!" I ran a hand through my already tousled lilac hair. I seriously need to get out more. I swear... I. have. No. life.
My one day off and I can't think of one thing that'll keep me occupied for some amount of time...
Unless... I threw a glance towards my bedroom door.
No.
I'm not that desperate.
True to her word, when we returned, Ib did repair the doll that had selflessly protected my rose for all those years. It now sat on a shelf in my room. Why my room? Because it kept nagging me to spend time with it, but I have a job so... yeah. I'm soooo not taking it to work with me. It settled for the bedroom. That's not creepy at all. AT ALL.
I sighed again. Wait... I know! I'll just call Ib and we can go to that café. The one that serves macaroons.
I fumbled around my coat pockets looking for my cell with newly found enthusiasm.
"Hello?" Ah... it's such a relief to hear her voice. Lucky we have the same day off.
"Ah, Ib? It's Garry." Duh. Caller ID. I mean I AM a contact on her phone right? Right?
"Oh hi!" Yay! She sounds happy that I called.
"Yeah. Are you free today? We could go to the café and get some macaroons. Since it's our day off I just thought–"
"Um that sounds nice..."
"Okay! Let's meet at the subway station–"
"But I have something to do today." Wha?
"Oh." Okay. Now I feel stupid. "Alright then."
"Right. So was that all?"
"Yeah..." The defeat clear in my voice. Gods I'm pathetic...
"Well bye... maybe next time." The line went dead.
Well. That was a bust. I wonder what she was doing.
Heck! What am I suppose to do now?!
