You may find that the rest of the chapters might be a little darker from time to time, but there is still going to be humour and fun dramatic moments. The rating is being put up to T just in case, but a lot of the style is the same. Swear words from here on out, just sayin'.
Chapter 8
AAAHHH! Oh it's you, you scared me! I apologise for that, but you never know when the next thing to pop up is gonna be some Cyberman or something, so yeah…
When Sadness went to look for Joy out there somewhere, it put the rest of us in here working our hats off, keeping Harry just about working, but quite often we just didn't input much at all, only when we had to.
Disgust was a real trooper, and whilst they were gone, she kind of took on the role of Joy for a while, because she would have Harry say things that everyone else thought was hilarious, like 9/11 jokes and things like that, but inside here in headquarters, that just wasn't what we were feeling. It was easy to make fun of really serious issues, because we just didn't know what else to do. Was it clever? No, but hey, we were trying our best to make something out of a bad situation, and it seemed to work.
We could fake laugh and everything, and sometimes, just like Sadness said, it felt entirely real, but deep down, we all knew that it was just fake, and I was in constant fear that we'd get called out on it.
If you ask me, you are totally exaggerating this, I didn't fake my humour! Did I?
I'm sorry Harry, but yes, yes you did. Anyway, our new foster carers ended up noticing our obvious lack of happiness, and they did everything that they could to try and change all that. but of course they couldn't help, not yet. Joy was still gone, and all we could do was get sassy and grumpy about it.
School was okay, but I was freaking out more often, and we got bullied sometimes, but Anger took it like a boss. There was a kid called Kyle that thought it was a good idea to pick on us from time to time, and as much as I wanted to play it safe, I think Anger handled it pretty well.
"Hey dumb ass, give me your Yu-Gi-Oh cards"
"Oh really Kyle? Two can play at that game. Bite me" and Anger went into full attack mode.
"You are not getting your hands on these, and anyway, most of them are fake. You want them? Fucking pay for them"
Well damn, I was not expecting that. Cuss words right off the bat. Harry learnt swear words back in year three, and used them regularly by himself, but not like this. I don't think Kyle was ready for that either, and he just dropped it, another disaster diverted, and another battle won.
Now, I've got one final thing to say before I sign off. We ended up getting through August and September without so much as a single issue arising because of the lack of two emotions, and I believed that we'd be able to last a bit longer, but what do you think happened next? Worst case scenario, what else?
