Couples Therapy- Chapter Seven- Jez and Morgead
Now, I know what you are all thinking. "AT LAST! AT LONG LAST! JEZ AND MORGEAD!"
Well actually, you're probably thinking, "Finally that bitch updated!"
But YES! I did update!
This is probably the most awaited chapter in this entire story. So I hope I don't disappoint you all!
Well here- *hears laughter*- WTF, did someone just cut me off? Ugh, better go check this out.
*Follows laughter down the hall* Jen! WTF are you doing here? And why are you laughing?
Jen: Hey, Eve! I'm here because I can be. And I'm laughing because Iliana's so stupid it's hard not to find funny.
OMG, I know!
Jen: And she's just such a bimbo. But you really concerned my in that last chapter, when Ash knocked her out so she wouldn't vaporize John.
*Quinn bursts into the room*: MY NAME IS NOT JOHN! Oh, hey Jen! Eve.
How many times do we have to go over this? You're name IS John!
Jen: But people can't call you that, right?
Quinn: Right! Especially not that blonde bitch.
Uh… You're not talking about me right?
Quinn: *Rolls eyes* No, Eve, I was talking about Iliana.
Oh. Good! Okay, now I know there's a reason Jen's here…
Jen: There is? Oh, right! Anyway, I thought it was so cute how Ash protected you, John, even thought I'm not a huge Ash fan-
*On other side of mansion Ash falls to the ground and curls in a ball*
Mare: Sigh. He only does this when his pride is wounded.
Jen:- I love how concerned he was.
Quinn: I don't need Ash protecting me.
Mare: *Calls* Hey guys, can you stop, Ash is twitching now!
Jen: Aw, of course you don't.
Quinn: I don't -.- and I don't need Rashel to protect me either.
You really think so, John?
Quinn: DON'T CALL ME THAT!
Jen: Well, everyone else can't… Especially Iliana… But can I call you John? ;)
Quinn: … Yes.
That sounded like a lie…
Jen: STFU Eve, I'll take it!
Whatever ;D I hope I didn't make you too OOC Jen! Or would it be OOP because you're a real person? O_o Oh, well.
So now here you are-
Jen: Hey, John, now that you're letting me call you John, can I replace Rashel now?
REALLY? Again?
Jen: yes, really, now c'mon, John! Please!
Quinn: Well if we do that, you'll have to share me with Tina.
Jen: No. No. No, I won't.
HERE'S THE NEXT COUPLES THERAPY BYE NOW.
Jezebel Redfern was in a rage. And it was a pretty freaking big understatement.
"Where the heck is he? He said he'd be here! Honestly that boy has no morals, responsibility, or brains!" Jez fumed. She was currently pacing Paul's office while she waited for her tardy Soulmate.
Tardy- another understatement. Paul was beginning to think Morgead had forgotten about the appointment.
("Trust Morgead to forget this." Thea shook her head and munched on popcorn. "He's totally going to pay for that later.")
"I'm here!" Morgead announced, bursting into the office like some sort of superhero. His black hair was severely windblown and he was panting slightly.
"Where the fuck have you been?" Jez exploded. "Our appointment was for noon and it's one already! What do you have to say for yourself?"
"I'm sorry! I was riding my bike-,"
"Of course," Jez scoffed.
"- And I suddenly remembered this appointment and I got off my bike and ran back."
The Daybreakers stared at the screen.
"Did he just say that he remembered the appointment, got off the bike and ran back?" Quinn asked.
"Uh huh." Keller replied.
James was the first person to break into uncontrollable laughter and the rest were right behind him.
"Oh, my God, I can't believe Morgead was that stupid!" Mary-Lynnette cried.
"I can't believe anybody can be that stupid!" Eric laughed.
"Oh, Morgead isn't just anybody." Delos said threw clenched teeth, as though he was extremely annoyed. He was probably remembering that time that- whoops getting off topic.
"You didn't drive your bike back?" Jez asked, her mouth agape, as though she was having trouble processing the emotions to react to this.
"It was kind of a stupid impulse decision."
"What time?" Jez was clenching and unclenching her fists.
"It was about noon."
"YOU MORON!" Jez exploded.
"I admit it! It was a stupid decision and I don't know what the hell I was thinking!" Morgead retorted.
("Neither do we." Ash remarked and a fresh wave of laughter engulfed the Daybreakers.)
"It's not just now! That decision! You're always making the most reckless and stupid decisions! I worry about you sometimes! Seriously, you need to start thinking, Morgead!"
"Sorry if I enjoy a little fun." Morgead snapped.
"You push the boundaries of fun a little too far!" Jez screamed.
"You used to, too!" Morgead thundered. "You used to be fun! And dangerous and reckless! So alive with the thrill of a challenge and the chase!"
"And I'm not anymore?" Jez asked icily.
"No! Ever since you found out you were half human you changed! You became tame. You stopped doing everything you had done before. You changed." Morgead snarled the last word, as if it would physically pierce Jez's skin.
Jez stood there, silent. He was right. She did change after she found out she was half human. "Morgead, some of the stuff we did with the gang… Some of that stuff was wrong."
"'Some of it' not all of it! Jez, you've practically given up everything because you're half human."
"Well what did I have anyway? I reputation for being a fiery bitch who- like every other person in the Night World- enjoyed killing humans?"
Morgead searched Jez's face, as if looking for another point to make.
"Do you love me any less because of it? Because I changed?" Jez spat.
"No, no I don't. But Jez, Circle Daybreak has tamed you so much more. When was the last time you had fun? When was the last time you truly felt free of everything?"
"So you're holding on to your freedom? Like Circle Daybreak is just weighing you down?" Jez asked, staring straight into Morgead's eyes while willing hers not to fill, because honestly she couldn't remember the last time she'd had a good time.
"It's not like that, Jez and you know it. But with the apocalypse and everything and you have so much responsibility and I see you struggling with it every day and it kills me to see you carry that burden." Morgead stared passionately into her silver blue eyes. They've filled with tears, Morgead noted, ashamed with himself for doing this to her. "I… I just want everything to go back to normal sometimes. Back to when we were carefree and happy and didn't give the slightest damn about anything."
"So you're holding on to the past." Jez stated. She wanted to break his gaze, but something held her in place. Maybe he was compelling her, or maybe it was just the intensity those emerald eyes held, but all she knew was she couldn't look away.
It was Morgead who broke the gaze to stare at his boots. But it was only for a second and a moment later her blue eyes were staring into a rich green.
"I am. Because I've deluded myself into thinking that if I hold onto the past tight enough, it could be our future."
"That's insane." Jez stated weakly.
"I know it is. But Jez, I want you to be carefree and happy again. And not give a damn about anything."
"That's touching. But… Morgead I'm a Wild Power. And do you know how likely it is that I'm even going to survive the apocalypse?" Jez asked, sadness and hopelessness coating her voice.
"You've already made peace with that." Morgead laughed hopelessly.
"I made peace with that a long time ago."
"Well then…" Morgead struggled for words. "I still want you to be happy again, just for one day before the apocalypse."
"Me too." Jez smiled sadly.
"And Jez… Why are we always fighting?" Morgead asked.
Jez laughed without humor. "Because we're a couple of hotheads who always need to get their way."
"Yeah, well." Morgead shook his head. "Is there something you're not telling me?"
Jez sighed. "I don't know… I mean… I don't know. I know I've changed and we always used to fight so I guess it's my way of holding on to the past too. I just want to be what you want. And I know you… I mean I know you love me, but I can't help but feel like because I've changed you don't love me as much as you loved the old me. And I feel like I have to live up to the expectations of who I used to be."
Jez finally managed to break Morgead's stare. Her head hung low and she dabbed her eyes. "See? Look, I'm crying. I never would have cried before. You hate tears."
"I do hate tears. And I hate to see you in them. But Jez, I think… I think we should both just let go of the past. You've changed, so what? You're still my Soulmate and we can make anything work together."
"I think that's a good idea." Jez sniffed.
"Come here," Morgead whispered and held his arms out. Jez walked into them without hesitation.
They held onto each other tightly. Jez buried her face in Morgead's neck and shoulder and Morgead rested his face on her red head.
The sight made Paul feel extremely lonely.
"So, you're all good now? No more tension?" Paul asked.
"Yes." Jez smiled brightly up at Morgead.
"Seriously, I don't even know why I'm even here. You guys always work everything out on your own." Paul said to no one.
"Why don't you ask Thierry?" Morgead asked cheekily and pointed to the hidden camera on the bookshelf set at an angle behind Paul's desk.
With that, Morgead and Jez walked out of the room, leaving Paul extremely confused and suspicious.
Jez and Morgead not only impacted them, it impacted the whole mansion. Morgead stopped being such a little shit {[(Review for AVMP reference?)]}, the amount of pranking lowered dramatically now that Morgead was no longer an ally, and Thierry realized he might be overworking his Wild Powers and sent everyone and their Soulmates (Iliana went alone) to a vacation spot of their choice.
"This is the life!" Jez yelled over the roar of the motorcycle as she and Morgead cruised down the Italian freeway.
"I know!" Morgead laughed.
"I love you!" Jez screamed and wrapped her arms tighter around Morgead's torso.
"I love you too! Jezebel." Morgead called back, a playful smirk on his lips.
"Watch yourself, Morgy!"
Morgead just laughed as they drove off into the sunset…
… And then got pulled over by the Italian police for speeding.
Thierry's not going to be happy about that!
Well yeah. I hope you liked it. I had fun blowing off steam while writing this.
Basically I'm having a bunch of drama between my best friend since preschool and myself. And it's extremely frustrating especially since she doesn't know how I'm feeling because she's in France and asdfghjkl the clean ups not going to be that neat trust me.
But the Ministry of Magic has helped me. The band the Ministry of Magic is now my new obsession; I highly recommend you go listen to them, especially if you love Harry Potter!
And if not, then go check out Luke Conard because he is hilarious, he can sing and play guitar, and he has gorgeous eyes. So you totally can't go wrong there!
