JD started out feeling a tad better than he did several days before. It's been over a week since he overdosed again, yet somehow he felt fine.
Yes, he did have a few minor outbursts between then and now, yes he kind of scared Nikki, but after the amazing news he had received from Vinnie, things finally seemed to be getting better.
Him and Tiffany woke up in bed together, as she saw the sudden change in him and let him go back to his room. No more sleeping on the couch.
The blondie woke up, yawning. "Uh... Good morning." she said, trying to wake her boyfriend up.
As usual, he wouldn't budge. Him and Tiffany were pretty different, as far as sleeping goes. She liked to wake up early in the morning. Justin, on the other hand, always woke up around 10 o'clock.
"Ah, whatever. I think he's earned it this time." she said, getting up and leaving the room. She stumbled into the kitchen, still trying to wake up after a good night's sleep.
She began to do her morning routine: brewing herself a cup of coffee and preparing breakfast. Things seemed to be more at ease in their household. Hopefully, it would stay that way...
Later on, JD woke up after having a good night's sleep with his girlfriend. The moment he realized that she wasn't in bed with him, he automatically knew what she was doing.
"I guess it's time to have breakfast with Tiffany." he said, making a rather cheesy pun.
He went into the kitchen, greeted by the heartwarming smile of the blonde girl.
"Morning, sleepyhead."
"Heh, morning dear."
Justin sat down, ready to eat some pancakes with his lover. Even if he started to worry her recently, it seemed to finally be tamed for the moment.
"Here you go." she said, setting down a plate of blueberry pancakes. He looked at them, ready to chow down.
She sat with him, having her usual eggs and bacon. It was a rather peaceful morning. It almost felt too good to be true.
"So, I wanna ask you something." she said as he was swallowing a chunk of his food.
"What is it?"
"Would you be open to have another therapy session this week?"
What a question. Although the last one ended on an abrupt note, he figured it couldn't hurt to do it again, even if he was seemingly starting to feel better.
"Yeah, why not." he said, begrudgingly accepting it.
"Good. And just to let you know: I plan on inviting someone to attend therapy with us, if that's OK with you."
Another person in our session? Huh, I wonder who it could be...
"Sure, whatever."
She nodded, knowing that he was still trying to wake up, as well as feed himself. It was still good to know that he was still open to therapy.
After they finished breakfast, Justin felt a bit flirty. He started to really think about their relationship and how serious he was, as well as his plans for their future.
"Hey, Tiffany?" he said.
"Yeah?"
"You... you look cute this morning."
That sudden compliment threw her off guard.
"Oh, no. I'm not cute. But thanks for the compliment." she said, sounding a bit embarrassed.
"You know, that's the first thing you ever said to me when we first met three years ago."
She began to blush, knowing exactly what was going on.
"Y-Yeah. I remember."
He walked up to her, feeling extremely romantic. He never usually had a chance to show how much he cared for her.
"I like that little nightgown you're wearing. It's cute." he said, continuing the chain of flirtation.
"Oh uh... T-Thank you."
"With the light pink color and the bunny logo? You are ADORABLE!"
She began to laugh hysterically. This was so sudden, but she knew that this was a way of making love.
He then pinned her to the wall, beginning to go in for a kiss. As much as she wanted to say no, she couldn't. They began to smooch each other intensely. Love was in the air in the Justin Dark and Tiffany Maye household.
However, that was suddenly interrupted with the sound of her phone going off.
"Oh... I uh, I have to take this." she said, suddenly backing off and interrupting their love session.
This felt a bit disappointing to him. Right as they were about to hit a climax, someone randomly calls. There weren't too many moments where they had a chance to make sweet love like this. Whoever was calling must've had more important shit to talk about.
Fuck this shit. I need to take a piss.
Justin went to the bathroom to relieve his bladder of the slight burn. In other words: he had to urinate.
He closed his eyes, feeling good releasing the pee he had in there. But much like every other peaceful moment, there was always an interruption.
"Yo, player?" a familiar voice said.
He got startled, accidentally facing towards the voice, still in the process of peeing.
"Woah, woah! Hey, put that thing away. You're getting pee on me." they said, suddenly disgusted.
He stopped and pulled his pants up. He then realized that his old mentor, the pink-haired fairy that gave him this life to begin with, somehow warped herself into the bathroom.
"K-Kyu?" he said, surprised to see her again after all of this time.
"NOOOOO." she said in a sarcastic tone.
"Enough with the sarcasm. What are you doing here?"
"Don't you mean what am I NOT doing here?"
He didn't understand what she was saying. It had been over eight months since they last saw each other. He was in a coma last time, fighting for his life.
"Uh..."
"Look, bro. I'm here to confront you about all of the shit you've been pulling lately."
Uh oh...
"Beat off, Kyu." he said, trying to dismiss the love fairy.
"Oh, I'm gonna beat off once we're done here, trust me." she said, making one of her innuendos.
JD looked at her, not taking kindly to her sudden snippy attitude.
"Is this about my suicide attempt?"
"It's not only that. There's so much more I'm here to confront you about. Look, I'm gonna cut right to the chase: You're too emotional, my guy." she stated.
Did she really just say 'my guy'? Jeez...
"Yeah. I guess I am. So?" he replied.
"So? So, it's not a good scene. That depressing, emo, suicidal teen schtick... It makes people uncomfortable. How do you expect to stay with the ladies if you keep scaring em off with that shit?"
EMO? Fucking bitch. I'll show her EMO!
It blew him away that his old mentor seemingly came here to chew him out like that. After everything they went through, all of the adventures they had, the motivational speeches and consistent pep talk, the good times and the sexy times, seemed to be going down the drain all because of some mental issues.
"Go away, Kyu. What I do to myself is none of your business."
"I'm not playing with you, player. I know what's been going down."
"Oh really?"
"Yep. You have some angry people going after you on that shit you humans call 'so-shall media'."
Ugh... Dumbass fairy. She knows something.
"It's called social media, Kyu."
"Right..." she said, being corrected. "But still, I've been keeping an eye on you. You started cutting yourself recently, which led to you overdosing on sleeping pills again, just like last year. I dunno what's going through your head right now, but you need to snap the fuck out of it."
"And you need to fuck off." he said, getting irritated with Kyu scolding him.
She sighed. "Listen, dude. I know EVERYTHING going on with you, and I won't hesitate to spill the truth if you keep on. We've got eyes and ears in most places. I know about that waffle guy, the guy who lashed out at you?"
The moment the W word came out, he definitely knew she wasn't playing. He knew not to mess with a love fairy, but it seemed as if this love fairy was messing with him.
"H-How the fuck do you know that?" he said, suddenly feeling anxious.
"WOOOW! Really? You think I'm that stupid? I have resources. I'm second in charge at Sky Garden, for fucks sake. We own a camgirl site and everything. Seriously, we know some shit that you humans don't."
He gulped, now feeling threatened by his old mentor, who seems to have turned heel.
"If you wanna get yourself outta this thing, I think the first thing you need to do is be a bit more transparent with Tiffany. I'm pretty sure if you told her, she could help you."
"UGH! Get outta my god damn head!" he shouted, suddenly alarming Tiffany.
"Babe? Is everything alright in there?" she said, tapping on the bathroom door.
"Uh, y-yeah. I'm just on the phone right now." he replied, glaring at Kyu.
She just sat there, smirking at him. He was stuck in a rock and a hard place at this point.
"You think you can ignore me? I made you, and I can un-make you if I want to." she said in a threatening manner.
"YOU'RE NOT REAL! YOU CAN'T HURT ME! YOU'RE NOT REAL! YOU CAN'T HURT ME!" he yelled. Tiffany walked in, now deeply concerned with his sudden outburst.
"What is going on in here?" she asked, starting to sound worried again.
"Uh... Um, nothing. Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry." he said, now ignoring the fairy behind him, who only he could see.
"Alright. I'll take your word for it. Where's your phone?" she asked, not seeing the device in his hand.
"It's uh... it's in my pocket. Telemarketers, you know?" he said, trying to hide what was really going on.
"Well, okay then. Hey, you wanna watch a movie with me? I think it'll take your mind off of things."
He nodded, slightly glancing his eyes at the love fairy behind him. He decided to ditch her and watch a movie with the one he was committed to. He wasn't going to let some pink-haired sugarplum fairy keep him down.
Though, this random confrontation with Mama Sugardust was very concerning. The fact that this was happening out of nowhere gave off a bad feeling. He was beginning to lose control again, and it was all thanks to the one who made him.
What the fuck does she want from me?
