AN: My OC will appear in this chapter. Sorry if he just appears out of nowhere, okay? I'll work on his story later.

Don't expect romance or any pairings just yet. I'm still thinking about that, for now.

300 Lanes Bowling Alley

"Ugh..." Apollo grunted. As he gotten another out.

"Oh, come on, Apollo! You can do better than that." Athena said. Arman Majeed sat on the chair, as Apollo went towards the other chair right next to him. Athena picked up the next Bowling Ball and started playing on her lane. Apollo sighed.

"Say, Apollo. Are you, uh, feeling alright?" Arman asked.

"Not quite. I had a hard time sleeping each day. Thinking about those hard cases that me and Athena took." Apollo explained. Arman looked curious.

"Why is all of that bothering you?" Arman asked. Apollo sighed.

"Well, it's just that things were just getting rough to me. I... I just kinda feel that life is getting rough on me, for no reason." Apollo said. Arman took his words in sympathy.

"Don't feel like that. Cause, it'll just get worse as time goes by. I suggest that you accept and handle many things to what life gives you. Do you understand?" Arman said, solemnly. Apollo felt a little sign of relief, but not much.

"Yeah. Thanks, man." Apollo thanked. Arman nodded politely.

"Much appreciated, mister Justice.

"Come on Apollo! It's your turn, now!" Athena screamed. Apollo was startled by Athena's shouts including Arman. Apollo then sighed, as he went towards his lane without paying that much to pins. Arman didn't know what to say and Athena sat next to him.

"You must be getting well with Apollo, aren't you?" Athena asked, as she looked towards Arman. He shrugged his arms.

"Yeah. It's not much of a deal really. But, you should keep helping before he breaks, okay?" Arman asked. Athena nodded, as she looked back at Apollo with a slight concerned look.

"Your right. I think I should go help him..." Athena asked, as she was worried for him. Arman sighed as he looked right back at Apollo. All he thinks is that he gets better soon.

"Let's all of us hope you get better soon... Apollo." He thought. As he kept seeing Apollo flunking, yet again, at Bowling.

AN: I kinda wished Apollo felt like that over the aftermath of DD... My preference, really.
