Every person has a friend they can always rely on and trust. And for our group of people, it's 3am

Jason

Dear 3am,

I'm back...again. It's been a while since I've seen you. My life was going well again. I had a happy mother. I had a happy father. My step-dad was smiling more and more each day. Cordelia was getting better at cooking. Charlotte was relaxed. And Whizzer was back in my life. But then, everything went wrong. You see 3 am, unlike you people are mortal. You can come and go as you please but you will always be the same time. But with people, once we are gone that's it. We are done for. Another small spec in the history of the world. Another percentage of the people that died that day. Another person to kick the bucket like the millions of othesr that same day. I trusted you 3am. You kept me company when my days were dark. Helped me see things in a different light. We were on equal terms. But then you took something from me 3am. I don't know if you know it or not but you took something very special from me. From father. From us all.

Cordelia

Hi 3am,

We haven't spoken since high school. It's good to see you old friend. I've missed are chats. Happy or not, you always seemed to help. This time I really need you. Things are going down hill again 3am. It's getting to hard to handle, I don't know how to cope. Charlotte is over working. Trina looks empty. Mendel quit his job. Jason is loosing his mind. Marvin is...well nobody has heard from him. Nobody has seen him 3am. It's quite worrying. Have you seen him 3am? If you have, look after him for me. I trust you 3am. You aren't a person, but you have my respect. I hope you respect me too. But one more thing before you go 3am. Keep Whizzer safe too. Give me a sign 3am. Is he okay now? Is he happy again?

Mendel

Morning 3am,

This is our 9855th day of speaking. I think we know each other really well at this point. But this time 3am, our conversation won't be pleasant. I know what you thinking...well ticking... 'Mendel you have a family who loves you and friends who will always be there for you'. I know I do 3am, but things still aren't the same. Even though the man ruined the family to start with, I still hurt. I still feel guilty. I need your help 3am. Tell me how to fix this. Tell me how to fix their sadness. Tell me how to fix my own. 3am we have known each other for awhile, so please, give an old friend a hand and lend me some advice. I really need it. 3am you are my last option.

Charlotte

Here we go again 3am,

Another work day gone wrong. Out everything in the world, you are the only thing I feel comfortable talking to. I know it should be Cordelia, but the thing is 3am she has her own problems to deal with at the moment. Pushing mine on top of hers is just cruel. As much as I love talking to you 3am, you did something awful. I know I have asked you for many favours. And I know I am yet to return them. But what you did was a step to far 3am. I could beg you to change what you did. But time travel isn't possible. But I swear 3am if you take anything else away from us...well I don't know. There's nothing I can do. Your just a concept made up so we can form a basic routine. A concept built to keep us comfortable. You unstoppable 3am. And I can't deal with unstoppable things.

Trina

3am,

It's me. Your old friend Trina. Have you missed me? Because I haven't missed our conversations. I could say I missed you, but I vowed to myself that I would never lie again. I dread staying up to see you. I dread waking up to see you. 3am you are my demon and I don't know how to kill you. You appear when things go wrong. When life takes a turn for the worst. 3am you appear when I am at my lowest. I shouldn't care. I should be able to live my life. But I can't. That man did something to my heart 3am. He became apart of my heart. He hurt me but I love and miss him. I need our help 3am. I know the other will definitely be awake round about now. Check on them. Promise me something though 3am. Promise me that Marvin will be okay.  I know he's hurting. We all are. But that man meant everything to Marvin. Become his guardian 3am.

Marvin

Well we'll well if it isn't 3am,

I'm destroyed. I'm numb. I'm scared. I'm tired. I'm devastated. I'm...I'm...I can't go on. You know and I know that whenever we see each other, it's never for a good reason. But then again. Our old meetings used to end positive.  Do you remember that 3am? But that's changed. It's been 24 hours. Out of all the hours in the day 3am, I didn't think you'd be the one to take him. We've known each other too long to do that. Or so I thought. Your a cold, dark snake 3am. But what can I do except cry... I hate you 3am, you took my only chance at being happy for life away. Well guess what 3am. I'm giving you something. Me. You can have me 3am. Take me as well. Don't let me stay on this gloomy planet by myself. Have two people. Give an old friend a hand 3am. Take. Me. Too. Please. I'm begging you. Let me leave this dark life. End my own life now, plea...

The day before...

Whizzer

Thank you 3am,

Is it selfish for me to say that? Can I actually thank you 3am? I mean you've stopped my mine. I feel more alive than ever. But then, there's my family. Jason. Cordelia. Mendel. Charlotte. Trina. Marvin.  Oh Marvin. Watch over him for me 3am. Keep him safe. Keep him sane. That is all I ask 3am.

The next day...

Whizzer

I see what you did there 3am,

You ignored me. But you listened to him. You took a man away from his family when they all needed each other. But I guess I can't be fully mad at you 3am. Because without you and your tricks, I would have the man I love back.
