Loud music and joyous chattering along with the clinking of cups and soft laughter could be heard throughout the building, reverberating along the hallways. Even with my headphones on, I could hear people assumingly having fun downstairs. I was going to finish recording my video but I guess that could be for later. Now, I wanna see what's happening downstairs.
Taking off my headphones and placing them onto my desk, I closed my pc and started walking down the stairs. I had to walk down stairs because someone forgot to install elevators. Upon reaching the first floor, I headed towards the direction of the music, towards the living room. Turning the corner, I saw basically everyone who lived in this building hanging out together. Everyone except me..
Maybe they just forgot to call me, or didn't want to interrupt my recording? "Hello", I greeted, loud enough for everyone to hear over the music. Yet..No one replied..Or even spared a glance towards my direction. "Tanqr?" I called out, hoping that at least my boyfriend would answer me. I watched as he froze, seemingly hesitating before standing up and walking towards Hoopie to talk to her as if I.. didn't exist.
I stood there awkwardly, smiling stupidly for about 5 minutes before I decided that everyone else didnt want to have anything to do with me. They didn't call me on purpose.. Why?.. Do they hate me? Even Tanqr? Dark thoughts filled my mind as I dragged myself back to the room I shared with Tanqr, my heterochromia eyes glossy with tears that threatened to fall at any moment. I bit my lip, refusing to break down in the middle of the hallway.
I sat on the edge of my bed, tears finally streaming down my cheeks as I sobbed. I was like a ghost to everyone, invisible and non-existent. Maybe not even real.. I picked up Tanqr's jacket which was laying messily on the bed was slipped it on, the familiar blueberry scent bringing the slightest comfort as emptiness continued to envelope me.
"Kreek?" A soft voice broke through my thoughts, care and concern lacing it. I looked down to see Tanqr kneeling in front of me, worry evident in his azure blue eyes. "I- W-why are you here? I-I thought u h-hated me now..along w-with everyone e-else", I mumbled through choked sobs. Tanqr lifted his hand, brushing off the tears that stained my cheeks with his thumb as he softly spoke, "I'll never hate you Kreek, I love you. It's just they wanted to play a prank on you and I had to join which was why we ghosted you, we don't hate you.."
I nodded slowly, doubt still lingering in my mind. Tanqr noticed and sat next to me, wrapping his arms around me as he pulled me into a hug. I melted into his embrace, warmth instantly surrounding me. "I promise I'll never ignore you again Kreek.."

-Tanqr's pov-
I banged my fist against the table, not feeling motivated to do anything for the umpteenth time. Hell, I didn't even feel like living. "Screw this", I muttered under my breath, storming out of my office and into my room, locking the door behind me. I crashed onto my bed, sinking into soft blankets as tears pricked my azure blue eyes.
Anger, sadness, frustration, it all hit me at once. But more than all that, it was the lack of motivation that was killing me slowly. I hated being exhausted, unable to do much. I felt..useless. Then again, I had to do something about my lack of motivation. I don't want to deal with the usual 'Are you okay?' and 'You should rest' that came along with it.
Hearing a light knock on the door, I sighed, reluctantly getting up. Forcing a smile onto my face, I opened the door, completely unexpecting the person who stood there. Bandites stood in front of me, sadness visible in his bright red eyes. "I uh, are you free?" Bandites mumbled, unable to hold in the emotions that laced his voice.
"Sure, come in", I said, trying to sound as bright as possible. Bandites sat onto my bed, I followed suit and waited. "Do you..ever feel useless? Like you're worth nothing, good for nothing..", Bandites sighed, "Actually, this was a bad idea. I'm sorry I wasted your time.." "No, it's fine, you're all good", I smiled, reassuring him. "You're a aren't useless Bandites, you have a lot of talent. Best of all, you're a great person to be around and an amazing friend", I said, humming softly as I watched a small smile grow on his face.
