Hello again, last chapter wan't the best but hopefully this one will pick up the slack. As always...ENJOY!
(Star POV)
I followed Janna up the stairs. She stopped at the first door on the right.
"He's been like this all week." She opened the door and sighed. "Really..." I poked my head in the doorway and saw Brandon hanging by his legs from a bar on the ceiling. He was doing what looked like upside down situps. He tried to do one more but he lost his balance and fell to the floor.
My eyes went wide when I finally got a good look at him. His eyes were red and he had bags under them. His movements were extremley sluggish, like he hadn't slept in days. Janna walked up to him and said "block" then slapped him across the face. As her hand came down his hand tried to rise but he could only get it up to his chest. When he tried to hit back his arms didn't even move. He just kind of lunged forward with his face. She just smacked his head and he dropped to the floor.
"What's wrong with him?" I walked over and stood beside Janna.
"I don't know but he's been working out nonstop all week." She walked over to him and squatted down until she was level with his face. She waved her hand in front of his face.
"Earth to Brandon." I walked over and sat down. I lifted up his face and satred at him. I learned on Mewni that if you stare into someones eyes you can tell what's going on their mind. I figured it was worth a shot. Not much was happening when I saw something in the distance. I leaned forward for a better look. It was a dark street. A girl was standing on a roof. Brandon was yeling something to her. His face was soaked with tears and rain. Then the girl spread her arms out and leaned forward. No. Brandon sprinted forward in an attempt to catch her. He was so close. She fell past his arms almost in slow motion. He dropped onto his knees. He called an ambulance. As he waited for the ambulance to arrive he sat there cradling the girls head in his arms. Then the scene morphed to him in hell. Literally, I recognized it from when I was dating Tom. He kicked in the door to Toms room. Tom was laughing. Wait what this was weird. They exchanged a few words before Brandon attacked. The battle was long and brutal but Brandon ended up winning. The last thing I saw was him loterally crawl out of hell before it went dark and I could only see my reflection.
I felt a single tear trickle down my face.
"I never knew." I turned to Janna. She had an eyebrow raised. "What he's been through." She sighed and patted my shoulder.
"He hates talking about it. So he just wears a mask." I turned and stared at her. "Figure of speech. He just goes through the day with a straight face but deep inside under all of it he's broken." I turned back and looked at Brandon. he was so worn out he could barely move. But why did he do this to himself? Then I heard a grunting sound come from Brandon. My eyes went wide in disbelief. He was pishing himself off the ground. Slowly but surely he was back in a pushup position. He started to lower himself again but I ran forward and grabbed him. I hauled him to his feet and hugged him. He just stood there with a blank expression on his face.
"Snap out of it! Please!" I started to cry. Janna walked over and looked him in the eyes.
"Maybe you could try a spell?" I immediatley whipped out my wand and stepped back. I pointed it at him and blasted. He hit the ground and started spazzing. I tried to run over and help but almost got kicked in the face. Then he froze. After a few seconds of terrified silence his back arched and he inhaled deeply. He looked around confused.
"Why are you two here?"
"It's Saturday." I said.
"Wait what I could have sworn it was tuesday." He scratched his head. "Man what happened my arms hurt like a bitch." He sat up and winced. I smiled and hit him with a healing spell. He stood up and stretched. "Huh, thanks. That feels much better. Now what is so important about Saturday again. Oh yeah carnival! Hold on let me get ready." He walked over to his closet.
"I'll be waiting downstairs. Oh and please take a shower before we leave." Me and Janna left the room and walked downstairs.
Okay so this chapter was supposed to be different but I realozed Brandon has no backstory. So here ya go. R&R and see ya in the next one.
