'Help me, Celestia, I'm caught in a jam, and there is no way out... I apologise for my recent behaviour, and how I've been acting...' Radio thought, as he layed down, silently waiting for the day to end, wanting it to be better.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Radio and Knot walked through the streets of Roriksteed, Knot felt himself getting weak. "Radio, bro, I... I miss Vinyl, I miss her so much, it feels like after she left, things have just started to fall apart..." He confessed. Radio started to think. 'Were we supposed to not go to college, or were we supposed to? Oh, maybe we weren't, maybe we were, who cares, he's right though, and that is that things have definately started to go downhill...' He thought.
"Yo, Radio, you still in Equestria?" Knot asked, waving a hoof in Radio's face.
"Yeah, I'm here..." Radio answered, with a look of pure confusion on his face.
"Radio... I want to die... I've been living with depression for the past few years... I... I just want to hurt myself so badly all the time... And it's always my fault... My parents leaving each other... My fault, Vinyl breaking up with me, MY fault... IT'S ALL MY FAULT!" Knot screamed. "I just don't want to be alive anymore, I know that you are going to try and stop me, but you can't, and you won't, because I'm going to do it, and when you're not expecting it."
"KNOT! IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT!" Radio shouted back, "I beleive you are just upset, cause you miss her, that's all, we don't think it's your fault, ok? I'm not going to point fingers, but I remember, it was HER who dumped YOU, and you took it well, it wasn't your fault, it was the fags at school, the ones who made fun of you, and you think it's your fault? They made up shit about you, and Vinyl was dumb enough to beleive you, so really, it's HER fault."
At this, Knot slugged Radio across the mouth. "It will never be her fault, and don't call her dumb, you fucking asshole, never speak to me again." Knot hissed and left.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Vinyl... He told me... He killed himself... But he told me, a day before it happened, I just... I couldn't help him... He wouldn't let me. If it weren't for me, he would still be here! I made this happen, by telling him about the things those assholes were saying, and because you guys were so oblivious to it, you beleived it... And he hit me, and never wanted to speak to me again. It's all my fault." Radio bawled into Vinyl's shoulder. "So I didn't want you to lose Octavia, cause, it hurts, to lose someone you care about so deeply, especially when it happens because of an argument... I, I couldn't bear the thought of you feeling the same way as me, so... You know, I answered your cry for help..." Radio continued sobbing.
"Radio... I know it hurts, and I want to help you. I just want to let you know, writing music is good for getting your feelings out... Ok? I know how much you love metal, and how much you love the concerts, so, I was thinking, would you like to write a song with me? We can collaborate, write metal, and dubstep, together. You know, doing the things we love, together." Vinyl said, holding back tears, herself. "I might write Tavi a letter, and apologise... You know... Make her feel welcome..." Vinyl got up, walking out to the living room, and grabbing a quill and paper, ran outside, straight to the library.
"Hm..." Radio thought, attempting to stop crying. He got up, and followed, but stopped when he got outside. "To the forest... Yeah, that sounds nice..." Radio said to himself quietly, before flying off to the Everfree Forest.
Inside the Everfree, Radio found a hut. Curious, he slowly approached the hut, only to be stopped by one of the many flowers he'd encountered on his travels. "Poison Joke... Of course..." He said out loud, thinking he wouldn't be heard.
"Um... Hello?" Said a confident voice. At the sound of this voice, Radio knew who it was.
"Rainbow Dash... How are you... The name's Radio, Pro Radio..." He said loudly.
"Um, I'm fine, thanks? How do you know who I am?" Dash said.
"I was at Cloudsdale when you saved The Wonderbolts... Stunning performance, I say. Though, that other pony, that white unicorn, I don't like her... I instantly knew when I saw her... One word... Desperate." Radio said
"You think "desperate" when you see her? That's um... Nice, I guess. Oh, and by the way nice mane, it really brings out your, er... Eyes, I guess..." Dash said, getting her words messed up. "Say, we should get back to Ponyville, I mean, it's getting pretty late, and I also want to introduce you to people, stuff like that."
"Sounds good, but I already know like, four people, one of them being you... I know Octavia, Vinyl, and this guy called Bitter Sweet." Radio said, quietly.
"Well, there's still a whole lot of people you need to meet, so..." Dash continued, rolling her eyes and dragging out and emphasising the word 'so'. Radio needed no more convincing, and with good navigation, he got out in a short amount of time, of course, he could have just waited for Rainbow, but he wanted to get out of the forest, and possibly back home, to be with Vinyl.
"I'll do it tomorrow, ok? I need some rest, I've had a doozy of a couple of days..." Radio called out, after waiting a short time, as he saw Rainbow walk out of the Everfree Forest.
"Ok, meet me in town, or you could fly to my house, whichever you want, but I just recomend meeting me in town, it'd be easier. Ok? Got that? Tomorrow, town, about 2-ish." Dash replied.
"Yeah, got it." Radio replied, before taking off, to get home, it was about 6, and he was tired, so with a blank expression, he crawled into bed, and was just lying there, waiting.
