Player's POV~

~

I stood there waiting with bated breath. Veteran opened his door, and when he saw who it was, he obviously wasn't pleased.

"Who- oh, it's you", he said, narrowing his eyes at me. I gulped. "What do you want?"

I was afraid of Veteran's reaction to what I had to say. The tone of his voice was dangerous, and I regretted coming to try to talk with him. But there was no going back now, so I had to say it. I was pretty sure he didn't have the patience, so I didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"V-Veteran, p-please tell me what I did wrong", I stammer.

Veteran gave me a look of pure annoyance and retorted, "You already know."

"No, I don't! Really!"

"Player just stop. I really don't want to talk with you. Not after what you did this morning."

This morning? I wasn't there this morning... how could I have done something wrong? Or is he mad at me for not being there? No... that can't be it. Then what is it?!

"Veteran, what are you talking about?!"

"Player, just shut up", he growled. He was clenching and unclenching his fists. That was a danger sign. But I still decided to try once more... big mistake.

"L-look, I wasn't here-", I started but never got to finish because Veteran's patience ended at that moment. He raised his fist and punched me on my stomach, knocking me to the ground and leaving me breathless. He was trembling with rage.

"I told you to leave me alone! But I guess you won't understand, huh?!" He went on yelling, each sentence louder than the last. I stayed on the floor trembling and holding back my tears. The way he screamed at me... it brought back memories. Memories I had never wanted to see again. Memories I thought I had locked away in my mind forever. But they were flooding back to me now.

"Just- just scram!" he yelled, and that's what I did. I jumped up, ran into my room, slammed the door behind me, and hurled myself onto the bed, sobbing.

MrCheese's POV~

~

I saw the whole thing. I was saying goodnight to TheGentleman when I walked up on the fight. I had no intention to spy.

"Goodnight, TheGentleman", I said, acting as though nothing happened at all during the whole day. I wasn't going to let what happened before get between me and him now.

"Goodnight." he replied gruffly.

I sighed. I and him finally decided that we would be work associates again, but he was still a bit cold with me. I walked out of his room and gently closed the door. Then I started to make my way towards my room. But when I turned the corner, I saw Player knocking on Veteran's room door.

I thought they weren't friends anymore? What is he doing at Veteran's room?

Veteran came out of his room, and when he saw Player, I could see a look of disdain on his face. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but from the quick way Player was moving his hands, it seemed as if he was agitated. I could see Veteran's anger beginning to rise, and I could tell this was about to get ugly, and I didn't want to see that happen.

But I couldn't go to my room because that meant crossing the place where they were fighting, and it didn't feel right to do that. So I just watched as Veteran pushed Player and began to yell. I glanced at Player's face and saw that he was staring at Veteran in fear.

I saw Player run to his room and slam his door. Veteran stood where he was for a few moments before going inside his room and closing the door. I finally moved from my spot and went towards my room. When I passed Player's door, I could hear sobbing coming from inside. I paused, but then I went on walking.

I know, I know, I should go comfort him, especially since this whole mess was my fault. But I've never been good at comforting people and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't like to know that I had seen the whole thing.

I entered my room and sat down on my bed, lost in thoughts. I never meant to ruin Player's friendship with Veteran, or anyone's friendships for that matter (MrEgg is an exception), but I accidentally had. All I wanted to do was get TheGentleman back. I felt guilty for making this happen.

It's not my fault, it was an accident!

But it was my fault. I knew it was. I sighed and lay down.

I tried convincing myself that everything was fine and it'll all blow over, even though deep down I doubted that after watching what happened between the red and yellow beans a little while ago. I drifted off into an uneasy sleep, with a guilty conscience and a bad feeling about it all.
