Chapter 38 - ROUND 1
As my jelly boyfriend rubbed his shoulder, Barry thought about the last time he talked to his mom. It had been such a long time ago... The last time he could remember, the last time he saw his mom was in the labratory, before he became engrossed in the chemicals. My jelly boyfriend's hand rocking him back and forth really did help him feel better.
As he eventually stopped to wipe his tears, he asked "So uh... Wanna watch me play a game for a little bit... friend?" My jelly boyfriend replied "Sure, man!", offering Barry a hand to lift him up. Of course, Barry took my jelly boyfriend's hand, standing up beside him, wrapping his left arm around my jelly boyfriend as they walked to the open bedroom door.
Meanwhile, I was still sitting in my computer chair, just about getting done with all the work. I had been really, really focused though the past half hour or so. Hell, even my boss was impressed when I showed him all the work I'd done. I looked down at the coffee cup I'd set here earlier. Oh wow, there's still some left in here, I thought to myself as I observed the jelly semen. As I took the last of it into my lips, I realized I needed to use the restroom.
I grunted in slight displeasure as I took my headphones off, placing them on the desk as I stood up to walk over to the bedroom door. While I grasped the handle, it hit me. Say... I still have to talk to my jelly boyfriend about this stuff!, I thought. I cracked open the door, peeking through it to see what exactly he was doing. I could see him sitting next to Barry, with one of his arms around his chest as he laid his head on his shoulder.
"Say, you're really good at this game, Barry!", my jelly boyfriend giggled. Oh, you are a dead man when I get to talk to you, I hope you know that, I thought to myself. "Thanks! I've been practicing for the past five minutes, I'm really getting in the groove of it.", he replied. "Haha, nice...", my jelly boyfriend said back as he began looking down at Barry. Alright, I have to do something right here, right now.
I opened my door, surprising my jelly boyfriend. "Where have you been?", he asked me. I replied, "I've been in this bedroom working on projects from my job so we can live!", I shouted. "Jeez, calm down! I was just joking!", my jelly boyfriend told me. "Say, where's Ella?", I asked. "Oh, she's in the guest bedroom", Barry replied. "Why's she in the guest bedroom?", I asked. Both Barry and my jelly boyfriend looked at each other, before I eventually looked at my jelly boyfriend, and ordered "Meet in the bathroom. Now."
My jelly boyfriend wore a look of shame as he walked over to the bathroom. He knew what he had done, and he knew that I was mad at him. As he walked into the bathroom, I looked at Barry, saying "I'm so sorry about this", before closing the door. Barry paused his game, realizing what was about to go down. He had to do something to save Jelly.
"What the hell were you thinking?!", I yelled at my jelly boyfriend. "I'm sorry! They came up to me, and-", he began to say, before I cut him off. "No! NO! I know how you can be sometimes! Don't try and lie directly to my face when you know that I know better!" After I said that, the bathroom door behind us opened up, with Barry standing there with a forgiving look on his face. "It's true!", he shouted.
I looked back and forth between Barry and my jelly boyfriend, before eventually asking both of them, "Wait, what the fuck is going on between you two? And her, no less!", pointing at the guest bedroom. "Look, will you calm d-", my jelly boyfriend began to say before I cut him off for the second time. "No, I WONT! I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST US, MAN! YOU AND ME! FOREVER!", I screamed. My jelly boyfriend was taken back in extreme shock, the words hit him like bullets. I continued shouting, "IF I'M NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU, AND YOU HAVE TO FUCK WITH OTHER THINGS, TAKE THIS!", bringing a slapping hand behind my back.
Almost immediately, Barry grabbed my arm, his chin being red-violet, crippling my would-be attack. "Listen, if you would just listen to us for five fucking seconds, we can talk this out, alright?! But if you're going to hurt him, then I'm going to have to whip your ass to high-heaven!", he shouted. My jelly boyfriend looked back at Barry with tears in his eyes, half sad and half joyful. Someone he didn't even know a day ago was protecting him as if he had been connected to his family.
Now he knew what it was like to be myself, when he first came into my life.
