Just Some Random Stuff

You're worthless, Chester...

Those words buzzed around his head. He had heard them since he was first injured.

Chester held a razor in his hand that he stole from Doc's office. He felt guilty for stealing from Doc, but he felt it wouldn't matter soon anyway. He sat with his back against the wall, trying to look at the razor through teary vision as he rolled up his sleeve.

"...I'm just a bother to Mister Dillion..."

Slice.

"He probably wants rid of me anyhow."

Slice.

"I-... I was stupid for falling in love with him. He doesn't love me, he just pities me."

Slice.

The last cut stung more than the others. He winced and tears rolled down his cheeks as he watched the dark red liquid stream out of his forearm. Things go blurry, then the world around him goes black.

Matt was smiling as he went back to where he thought Chester was. Today was the day. He finally worked up the courage to confess to Chester about his feelings for him. "Chester, I'm back! There's something I want to tell you."

Matt dropped to his knees at the sight before him. "CHESTER-!!! CHESTER, NOOOOOO...!!!!" He shook Chester gently, pleading, "PLEASE-!!! DON'T LEAVE ME!!! CHESTER, I NEED YOU!!!"

Matt cries out in hitched sobs, nearly collapsing. "I can't go on without you-!!"

Miss Kitty barged into the room. "MATT-! I COULD HEAR YOU ALL THE WAY ACROSS TOWN!" Worry wracked her voice, "What happened-?!"

Matt held Chester out into her view, sobbing. "My Chester...!!!"

Kitty's eyes well with tears, and she runs out, searching for someone to help.

Matt held Chester close, soaking himself with blood, but at that point, he didn't care. He wanted his dorky assistant back. "C-Chester... I-I can't go on without you-! I need you!! ...I-I...I love you, Chester. W-wherever you are... I hope you know that..."
