It had been almost a week since he's had one of his nightmares. Chris was ecstatic. He thought this was an event to celebrate. "Say, I think I saw online that there was a new fair opening today..Chef?" He turned around to see Chef reaching for something in the upper cabinet of Chris's kitchen. His medications. "You need to take your medications after you eat breakfast Chris remember? We can go after it wears off a bit." Chris sighed, he knew he had to. It's just that after a while, it started to feel like a chore to him. Chef was a little tired of having to remind Chris every day but he knew that if it was up to Chris, he wouldn't take them.
"Cheeef, do I have to? Why can't I just not take them today..please?" Chef considered this before handing Chris a glass of water and his medications specifically Sertraline a.k.a Zoloft, which both his psychiatrist and his therapist recommended to help with his PTSD. He sighed before quickly putting the pills in his mouth and swallowing them, but not before they started to dissolve leaving a bitter taste in his mouth. Yuck. He went to his pantry and took out a single peppermint and put it in his mouth. "So..can we go?" Chef stayed silent for a moment before nodding and leaving to presumably get changed.
Chris was sporting a red tee, some beige khaki shorts, and some black sneakers. Pretty basic. Chef was dressed somewhat similarly wearing a teal shirt, beige khaki pants, and white flip-flops. He looked around to see where they should go first. He noticed Chef looking at a ring toss station with a goldfish as a prize. "You can go Chef, I'll be fine by myself." He smiled at him before waving and continuing to look around. He decided he was to walk around and see if anything piqued his interest.
After a couple of minutes of doing so, he came across a girl who appeared to be around 17. She had a modern tan and emerald eyes, along with dirty blonde shoulder-length hair, which was in a messy bun. She wore a graphic T-shirt with an indie band on it and some paint splatters in various colors, some ripped skinny jeans, and a ukulele on her back. She appeared to be in the middle of painting an experimental art piece of a peace sign. She placed her paintbrush down and got some money out, about to walk to the snow-cone machine. As she did this her eyes landed on Chris. "Hey, you're Chris Mclean! Total Drama!" Finally, somebody recognized him. "Indeed it is uh.." He trailed off as he didn't know her name, she got the message and stood up. "I'm Tessa Walker, but you can call me Tess!" She took her hand out for a handshake, which Chris took and shook. Rhyming.
"Say, aren't you in the process of making a new Total Drama season? Revenge of Wawanakwa, I think it was called?" Chris nodded, shortly looking around and seeing a small child running up to his mom and giving her a balloon. "It would be so cool if I got in..I wouldn't even mind being an intern..anyways you're probably tired of my yapping so-" That's not a bad idea.. "You know what I'm going to let you be an intern because I'm just nice like that!" Chris said this with his ego large and his voice loud. Tess smiled and nodded at him before leaving to buy her snowcone.
Chris walked away satisfied with the new intern he had just secured. He walked over to the Ferris wheel to try to see if there was anyone else that recognized him, buying a bag of popcorn while he was at it when he saw it. There was a man standing next to a small rectangular cage that was wide opened with a sign next to it.
Jared the Jinxed Jester's
Inescapable Cage of Doom!
Survive 5 minutes inside and win a prize!
Bound to make you feel like you're in prison!
That was all it took for him to break. His bag of popcorn fell from his hands and landed on top of a flyer with the same thing printed on it. Chris clenched his hands as memories from prison ran through his mind. The ways they hurt him; physically and psychologically, the way nobody saw it, the way no one cared about him. Chris mirrored his popcorn (now gone from the spot it was previously on and in a little girl's hand.) and fell to his knees. This caused quite the scene and attracted some people's attention from their phones, children, and various breeds of dogs onto Chris.
Chris's eyes welled up with tears as he curled up into a ball and started rocking himself. Now, everyone's eyes were on him. People took out their phones taking pictures and videos and sending them to their friends. Jared, who was busy fixing some touch-ups on the sign, finally noticed all the commotion and smirked as he saw Chris. "Hey everyone look! It's Chris Mclean! CRYING!" He started laughing, many other people following and pointing at him. Torture. Someone who had been conveniently carrying a sack of tomatoes started throwing them at Chris. This was the last thing Chris saw before fainting.
When he woke up, he was laying on the white couch in his living room. Chef was sitting nearby reading a book titled "PTSD and how to be a friend to those with it." Chris smiled before sitting up. Chef, realizing he was awake, closed the book and gave Chris some coffee. "How you feeling Chris?" Chris thought about this for a minute. How was he feeling? "Well for starters, I feel embarrassed because.." Chef nodded, understanding what Chris was trying to avoid saying. "I also feel..angry..at myself and well..everyone for kicking me while I was down." That was a little too literal for my liking. "No kidding, I saw the whole thing go down. By the way, I was on Twitter earlier and I saw..you were trending.." Chris didn't know what to say. First, he had a big public breakdown, then he got trending because of it. "Now Chris it's not for the reason you think, there's actually a lot of people showing their support to you and shaming those who engaged in the recording." Chef pulled out his phone and showed Chris. He smiled looking at all those people who reminded him that there were in fact people who loved him. His eyes grew teary again but this time, it was different. He was happy.
