After finding out about Steel thinking about committing suicide, I sent a letter to the princesses about it and received a reply saying they'll check up on him the next time he sleeps.

Once the sun rose up, signaling me that it was morning, I tried to close the curtains with my magic but was to tired to do it. I sat up while rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.

I stood up and stretched, then went to put on some clothes before leaving to eat.

After putting on a lavender vest and some jeans, I went to the dining hall for breakfast. Once I arrived, I saw Steel, Nyx, Scootaloo, Spike and Dogmeat sitting in a circle on the floor, eating breakfast together. I saw Dogmeat sneak up on Steel's cereal while he wasn't looking.

Steel turned around and picked up his bowl with a grin.

"Not again, this is mine!" He shouted but was soon tackled to the floor by Dogmeat, making him spill the cereal. Dogmeat then started eating the cereal from the floor.

"Wow, he got you good." Spike said, laughing at Steel.

"Ow." Steel mumbled out. Dogmeat turned to look at him and walked closer to his face. He then started licking Steels face, much to Steels dismay.

"Ew, get off!" Steel shouted as he held Dogmeat up. Dogmeat then got back on the floor and sat between Nyx and Scootaloo. I looked back at Steel and saw him taking off his shirt and proceeded to wipe his face.

"Alright, enough playing around, you two need to get ready for school." Steel said, hanging the shirt on his left shoulder. I couldn't help but blush at the sight.

I knew Steel was fit and all, but..wow. He looks like some sort of super soldier I've seen in one of Spike's comic books.

Steel then turned over to Dogmeat, glaring daggers at him.

"Not cool." Steel said, earning a chuckle from Dogmeat. He then noticed me and gave me a smile.

"Morning, Sleepy head. Worke all night?" He said, earning a nod from me. I don't think he noticed the blush, that or he sees it and wont say anything.

"Morning, Steel." I said, acting calm and collected.

"You'll have to eat without me, I'm going to get another shirt and go to the forest." He said as he looked over to Dogmeat.

"You stay here, just in case." He said to the wolf. Dogmeat laid down and closed his eyes.

Steel then turned to the door and proceeded to walk out. Once the door closed, I heard Dogmeat growl. I turned over and saw him growling at me.

"W-w-what's wrong?" I asked, afraid that he might attack. He narrowed his eyes at me, giving me a look that said 'I know you that you know about something you shouldn't know.'

"Last night?" I asked him, earning a nod from him. I sighed sadly while placing a hand on my forehead.

"It wasn't on purpose, I walked by your room and saw the door open, so I let my curiosity get the best of me and try to see or hear anything." I said to him as he sat down.

"Is he really that depressed?" I asked him, earning a kinda motion from his paw.

He then pointed at the door and then at me. I looked at him in confusion, earning a sigh of annoyance from him. He walked up behind me and nudged me closer to the door.

"Talk to him? Wouldn't he be mad at me for knowing?" I asked him, now knowing what he meant.

I looked back at Dogmeat and saw him nod as he kept nudging me.

"Alright, if you think it'll help." I said as I opened the doors and went out, leaving Dogmeat in the dining hall.

I've managed to catch up with Steel but I'm still trying to find think of a way to talk to him. He walked through the entrance to the Everfree and walked towards the direction of the castle.

'Maybe he's going back to the Vault.' As soon as I thought that, he turned left and went off the dirt trail. I followed behind as he passed another line of trees.

I saw him turn right and I looked towards that direction, seeing a large lake. I wonder how I've never seen that.

I saw Steel look down on the river and sighed to himself. I got as close as I could without being noticed and I could see that he looked at his own reflection in sadness.

'Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

Steel then laid down on the ground, facing the sky as he kept singing.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

He then sat up and looked towards the horizon, a few tears could be noticeable with the Sun light.

"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence

He stood back up and looked toward my direction, smiling a little. He knew I was there, so I steeped out and heard him sing.

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence'

Once He was done, he wiped away his tears. He then turned to look at me and gave me a sad smile.

"Well now you know. The wanderer, the one who has made the world as green as it is today, the one who fights to protect anyone, has a suicide problem." He said, looking back at the lake.

"Why though? Why would you want to end yourself?" I asked, walking closer to him.

"I never wanted to live like this, I never wanted to leave my friends and family but nothing ever goes my way for anything." He said, not looking back.

I stood next to him and looked at his expression. He looked out the horizon with no emotion.

"I mean, I'm glad that I can finally live happily but it won't be the same for me. I've lived to long a life of violence, carnage and murder. Sometimes, I wish that I never came to Equestria in the first place, but then stopped because if I didn't, then nopony and no one would be here this day. So I learned to deal with the pain, but it kept coming back no matter how hard I tried." He said, letting loose a few tears.

"Then let me help you, please." I said to him.

"No one can help me, believe me." He said.

"Steel, let me help you, please." I begged him as I cupped his cheeks in my hands and turning his gaze to me.

"Please." I begged again. He closed his eyes and then nodded. I let go of his face and pulled him into a hug.

Author's Note

The fuck is wrong with me!? That's the second depressing chapter I've made! And before any of you ask. No I'm not in depression or have thoughts of commiting suicide.

I have been depressed but not that deep, as in I'm done with life deep. But to any one who suffer from depression, there's a life for you to live your own, so take it, mold it and enjoy it while you can with your family and friends. You only live once, so live happy.

What the actual fuck just happened!? Have I gone to deep into this subject? I hope I didn't offend anyone, this wasn't supposed to be like this! I swear!

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed whatever I just made and leave me an answer on what you think happened to me, because I really don't know!
