Okay guys, here is chapter 2. I noticed a few people interested on the drama of Hannah's actions towards Sulley. This chapter is where Sulley is completely depressed. Then, he will explain his very first date back in his youthful days in MU. You'll just have to read and find out.

It was Saturday morning and Sulley woke up at 6 AM. He groaned in sadness about last night. He couldn't believe the way he acted in front of the whole crowd. He also couldn't believe he drank 7 raspberry cordials and got himself so drunk, he felt like a jerk, but is he an actual jerk? After 5 minutes of tears, he got up and felt like he got a headache. He walked slowly to the kitchen and saw French toast with milk and a note. He picked it up and read it carefully. He noticed it was from his best friend Mike and noticed how he called his ex "acted like a jerk". Sulley then moaned again and crumbled the paper in pieces. He didn't have the appetite today so he only ate half of the toast and half of the milk. "I think I was the jerk", mumbled Sulley.

Sulley went to his lounge chair and closed his eyes a little. He ponder about how mad Hannah would get once he found out he actually fired her. Then, a bang suddenly ranged his ears from the door. He sighed and wanted to see who it is. It was Hannah, with a big red face on her. She wasn't very pleased.

"James Phil Sullivan! How could you ever do this to me", shouted Hannah. "I thought we were friends and friends don't fire their employees for no good reason. You're still mad about what I did to you, right?"

Sulley shrugged and did not have the heart to talk to her so he was reluctant to answer back. "Speak now", shouted Hannah. "Hannah, I told you before, we're through. You just can't ditch another person like that because your easily gullible", said Sulley. "Gullible?! You're the jerk wad that wanted to go out!"

"You also showed your love to another worker at Scare Co. They scare children only and at Monsters Inc., we make children laugh till they cry out of their lungs and enjoy a good laugh. Didn't I tell you this before?"

"Yes, but you're just selfish!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

They both kept blaming on each other until Hannah had enough of this nonsense. Once again, she she slapped him in the face, without noticing the first scar he had last night. Sulley then turned back to her and stared at her for a minute. "Maybe, we should never see each other again."

Hannah felt like she wanted to cry and left the apartment. Sulley felt like he wanted to cry too. To be honest, this was the second break up he had in his life. Why? Well, you might want to look at his thoughts. "I can't believe it. This is the same way Diana Scott treated me, only, no physical abuse." Then he had a flashback of his memories at MU.

Diana Scott was a freshman back at MU, the same as Sulley. She was like the rest of the PNK team. Purple hair, three eyes, pink color, and pink PNK sweaters. She was the social butterfly in the group and fell in love with James. James thought she was the crazy one, but he let her loved him anyways. However, things got out of hand when Sulley didn't had the time for love and acted very immature in the past.

"James, I thought we were going to get some dinner at this fancy restaurant around the block? Are you going to break that promise again", asked Diana.

"Oh, um Diana. You see, the thing is…. Oh wait! There's my pig", said Sulley while chasing it. He chased it as far is he can, until he bumped into a student with a stack of books and all the books landed right into Diana. Diana's face reddens with embarrassment when all her PNK friends laughed at her and she was no longer the stage light. Sulley then saw how Diana was embarrassed and decided to help her. "Diana, I'm so sorry about what I did. I", but Diana stopped him for a second. "James Phil Sullivan, I thought you were the monster of my dreams. But now, you're so immature, why don't you go back to grade school and learn how maturity works", said Diana. "I didn't mean to upset you. Everyone should have some fun. Let me help you", said Sulley, trying to grab her hand. But Diana stepped back. "Get away from me you freak! Your dad was the best scarer of all times and soon you'll let him down! No wonder no one wants to go out with you, because you lack of maturity. I am going home and will never speak to you again! EVER! Why the heck would I bother you! This is a goodbye, Sullivan", said Diana choking with tears. "You're the biggest jerk I ever met!"

Sulley did not love that time where he was called a jerk. It was true. He acted like a jerk before he did his final exam and was kicked out of the scare program. He soon cried about his bad past and Hannah's anger towards him. He got the bottle of raspberry cordial and chugged it all while he was crying. Sulley never felt this depressed since he got kicked out of the scare program. 1 hour later and he was drunk again. He wanted to give Mike a call to tell him he won't come out of his home at all. He dialed the phone number to Mike's house waited. "Sulley, are you okay pal", asked Mike. "Never better Mikey Wikey", said Sulley. "I just wanna say that you'll take over Monster Inc. and I'll stay here all alone with no love", said Sulley. Mike was surprised how he talked and presumed he was drunk again. He sighed and said, "James, what has gotten into you?" "Oh nothing, just wanna say, I'm a lousy jerk to everyone and I will not go out anymore. No one cares about me. Nothing. No one. AT ALL", said Sulley tearing up. "Buddy, get a hold of yourself! You're not going to stay in all the time and stay drunk! You need help ASAP!"

Sulley then thought for a second and maybe it was a bad idea to stay inside forever. "You know, maybe it is a bad idea. Mike, please help me! I am totally depressed and I have no choice but to hide my face from everyone! No one wants a jerk that broke up, twice!"

Mike then remembered about Diana Scott and thought how embarrassed she was. "Look James, I'm going to your house and talk to you about this", said Mike calmly and he hanged up.

Mike soon drove away from the east side of town and went to the west side, where Sulley lives. He knocked the door twice when Sulley opened it. He looked worse than before. His eyes were red again, he had two scars, his still has his formal wear all wrinkled up, and his hair is messed up too. "Mike, please leave. I don't need your help", whispered Sulley. "Buddy, I think you need therapy. You're not yourself at all", said Mike. Sulley grabbed his friend and pushed him into the wall. Mike panicked as if he felt like he was going to die by his own best friend. "Look Mike! I don't care how much you care about me! Love is such a silly thing to believe. I don't need stupid therapy. I am perfectly fine! I", but he stopped and realized how he treated his only best friend in the world.

Mike panicked so much, he was speechless. Sulley then sighed and put his hand over his face. "Big blue, I think you need a vacation for a week. I'll get you a therapist and you'll stay home all week. I'll take your place for a while and once you come back, you might find a new secretary. Deal", asked Mike. Sulley stayed quiet for a second and sighed once again. "Deal", he said deeply. "But first, you need to chill out. Why don't you take a nap for today? It's a Saturday and we don't go to work until the weekdays", Sulley nodded sadly and walked to his closet, putting on his slippers and sleepwear, he drifted off to sleep. Mike decided to call therapist for his best friend. He dialed the right number and waited for him to respond. "Hello, this is Dr. Zing, how can I help you", said the therapist. "Hello, this is Mike Wazowski and I'm here to book an appointment for my best friend James P Sullivan."

"Sullivan? You mean, Bill Sullivan's son, the one that broke the all-time scare record? You mean, he needs my help", squealed Dr. Zing. "Umm yeah. So I was wondering, are you available for tomorrow 12 o'clock sharp? My friend is really, really down and he is drunk twice. I figured as much that he is depressed", said Mike. "I'll be happy to Mr. Wazowski. Sunday 12 o'clock it is. Please let your friend know about this, okay? *giggle*", said the therapist. "Sure, I'll let him know. Thank you for your time Dr. Zing."

Mike hanged up and decided to go back to his apartment. While he arrived, he saw Celia and Amanda. Celia looked worried but Amanda giggled to see her father again. "So, how was Sulley? Is he alright", Celia asked. Sadly no. I'm afraid he's drunk again and he had the same bottle of raspberry cordial from last night. I can tell Hannah did her abuse towards the poor guy again because I saw a second scar in his cheek", said Mike. Celia sighed and showed sympathy for Mike's best friend. Saturday night, it was family night for the Wazowskis and they were playing with Amanda. She was at her playpen, hugging one of her stuffed animals. Mike and Celia enjoyed the way their child giggled with joy but it's a good thing she won't know about Sulley's depression issue. "Stuffie, stuffie", said Amanda. The couple filled with joy now. Stuffie was her second word and Celia was recording her. However, Mike stared down the window and still thinks about Sulley. "I wonder if Sul will ever get over his depression."

Sulley stayed in bed for the whole Saturday and moaned in his sleep. He cried for Hannah or Diana to comeback but they kept backing away. For the rest of the night, he moaned as his heart sank. Sunday morning arrived and Sulley kept having headaches from yesterday. He couldn't think with a bad headache. He ate poorly and exercised regularly and stayed in all the time. He walked into the kitchen and saw a note from Mike.

Dear Sulley,

I called Dr. Zing and he is a therapist. He's going to help you with your problems at 12 PM so dress well and try to stay calm.

-Mike

Sulley groaned and decided it was for the best. He wore a different tie this time. The tie happens to be purple, with blue stripes on it. Sulley noticed his two red scars he got from Hannah and put some scar ointment on. He rubbed it gently as possible. He combed his hair, brushed his teeth and washed his face. He could feel the burn on those nasty red scars he got. The back of the note had the address that leads to Dr. Zing's Therapy Office.

5961, Scream Street NW

Sulley walked by some buildings near Horror Avenue, and then took a right towards Goose Bumps Street, and finally a left to Scream Street. He saw the building's address. 5961. He walked right into the office's lobby. The carpet was dark green, walls are dark maple wood, 3 comfy sofas were there, and the assistant was an orange monster that has two brown eyes. He had a sharp horn on his head, wore glasses, and wears a suit to look like he's a busy man. Sulley walked up into the orange monster assistant's desk and said, "Hello, I'm here for my appointment for Dr. Zing, 12 PM." "Oh yes, James P. Sullivan. Please walk right through the door. Dr. Haney Zing will be with you shortly", said the assistant in a dreary tone. "Thank you", said Sulley politely. He walked slowly towards the therapist's office. Its room is the same thing as the waiting room, except you see more antiques. There was a lounge chair where the patient sits and talks about their problem. There was a big lumpy chair where the doctor sits. The room also had 3 bookshelves based on therapy, psychology, etc. Sulley decided to make himself at home and waited patiently for 3 minutes. Then, Dr. Zing came in the room. He gave Sulley a cheery hello and Sulley waved with a weak smile. "Good afternoon Mr. Sullivan", said the therapist. "I see that your friend Mike Wazowski told me your depression. Please reassure that this is for your own good and I'm here to help you solve that problem", said Zing showing sympathy. "Thank you for your gratitude Dr. Zing", said Sulley.

"Before we can start Mr. Sullivan, I want you to read these cards that I hold, just to understand your instincts, mental thoughts, and perspective. Do you understand what I mean", asked Dr. Zing

Sulley nodded and was eager to get this over with.

The first card was an inkblot. He asked what this is. Sulley said it was blue.

The second one was a monster in a silly costume. Sulley said it was a clown.

The third one was a monster preparing itself. He asked what he is doing. Sulley said he was ready to either scare or be funny.

The fourth one was a shape. Sulley disliked the fourth one, but he said it was a heart.

The fifth one was a human. The doctor asked what mood is she having. Sulley said she was sad.

The six one was a bit depressing. Sulley said it was a fight.

The seventh one was the one of the most Sulley disliked and he said it was a couple and he made a frown at that card.

"Okay Mr. Sullivan, I recorded some notes based on your perspective", said Zing.

"Now, I will ask some questions about your life and how good or bad is it. I know some things you might not like to answer but be honest and you don't have to make a fuss about it, okay?"

Sulley nodded and was ready for the next test.

Q1: What is your highest degree in education?

A: High School Diploma

Q2: How happy are you? 1-10

A: 6

Q3: How much success did you had in your life? 1-10

A: 5

Q4: Have you ever been hospitalized for a mental health problem?

A: Not yet

Q5: Have you been in therapy before?

A: No, this is my first time

"Okay, that was just a practice run to know if you did therapy before. Here's the real test."

Things Sulley said yes

Since I was young, I've often avoided saying or doing things that might make people reject me.

I'm so exhausted during the day, even though I slept well the night before.

I've been afraid of something, and that's caused huge problems for me, such as overthinking or risk factors.

I've had strange dreams that connect towards my problem.

Ever since I was young, I've always gotten in fights and caused trouble.

I've had some or a lot of sudden urges to do things that make me feel bad or guilty later.

I've taken huge risks in my life without thinking about the chances of getting in trouble.

I've been feeling extremely down and miserable so it was hard for me to do daily activities.

I had a fight with someone that was pretty special to me.

I had a relationship once but we broke up.

My friends won't stop bugging me because the way I acted.

I wished I had the time to rewind things and make them up.

My depression has caused me to eat or sleep abnormally almost every day.

I've been eating poorly, but do exercises daily.

I've been avoiding something or someone I'm very afraid of.

My friends make me feel like I'm the crowd.

"Thank you Mr. Sullivan. I finally recorded all the test results. Now, I'll make sure to call you back to tell you're frequent problem next weekend. Goodbye", said Dr. Zing.

"Bye", said Sulley.

Sulley walked out of the building and went back to the apartment. Now that he took care of his business, he decided to take Mike's advice from before. Over a week, Sulley waited for the test results, but was still depressed. Mike took Sulley's place at the incorporated for a while and wait for Sulley's return. Every time when work is over, Mike always visited Sulley after work and make sure he doesn't cause problems again, such as anger, drinking raspberry cordial, or sob til his lungs can't take the pressure. Still, Sulley was depressed and had frequent headaches, stomach aches, and back pain rarely. On Thursday, he got very ill so Mike had to spend the day with him to take care of his best friend. Sulley scars were fading, but his face was green, his body temperature is high, and he gets more headaches as usual. By Saturday, he had gotten a lot better from before. Then, Sunday came and the results are in.

"Mr. Sullivan, I know why you've had a long week depression. I recently notice you had a relationship once with a monster but broke up because she cheated on you. Is that right", Zing asked. "Yes, Dr. Zing", said Sullivan sadly. "The reason why is because not all relationships last long. Some do, but not all of them. The point is to cope it out once everything is back to normal. You can't just let the situation get the better of you. Plus, I know you've experienced some tough times when you were 18. Somehow you messed everything up, but times have changed. You need to learn how to deal with life and go on. Try to start something new at least. Oh, and by the way, if you ever find a new relationship with another monster, just know these simple steps on how to build a healthy relationship."

Evaluating (agreeing or disagreeing, make a compromise)

Probing (asking questions to get the facts straight)

Advising (offering solutions) and

Interpreting (explaining motives – trying to "psych out" the other person)

"Thus, might I suggest you get some pills that keep you from getting headaches from your weekly depression, and do not drink that much raspberry cordial. The risk of drinking is high and causes aggressiveness. Try not to get a simple relationship in the way and try to make life an easygoing way to spend time with friends and family."

Sulley smiled and took that friendly advice from the therapist. He thanked him for all his help and said their goodbyes. Thankfully, the depression week was over and Sulley was back in Monsters Inc. At least, till now.

I've never written so much, but it was worth it. It does sound a bit too awkward but at least Sulley is back on his toes. I hope you'll love this chapter.

UPDATE: I had two reviews from someone that gave me great suggestions. You know, everyone is welcome to review any suggestions I could put o. My story. Chapter 3 will be on soon. :)

UPDATE 2: I had to made some change in this chaper. I was going to name Sulley's first ex Hilda but Diana would be best.
