Chapter 77 - Luck's Calling
After a couple hours of sleep, I was finally able to open my eyes. I slowly opened them, sitting up in my bed. I couldn't remember anything that happened earlier today, not even if I tried. I looked over at my computer. The chair was riddled with purple hairs, and the screen showed pictures of... "Andre the giant?", I asked myself out loud. "Yeah, Megalo is kind of really into that sort of thing...", I heard a voice say outside of the bedroom door. Then, 5 seconds later, my jelly boyfriend comes walking in, with his pink human-like form.
"Jelly... what happened?", I asked. He walked over to the computer chair, brushing it off before sitting down and rolling over to the bed. He took my right hand, and held it with both of his own. "Mark...", he mumbled. I could see tears in his eyes, as he tried to put things together in a way that I could understand. "What's... wrong, Jelly?", I asked. He began to softly giggle, telling me that this wasn't bad news.
"Mark... I'm...", he began to tell me. "It's okay, Jelly...", I say to him. "You can tell me." He took a deep breath in, and explained: "Mark... I'm free..." I paused after he said the statement. The words felt like they didn't exist, as if they couldn't be together at all. "You're... you're what?", I asked, just to make sure that I wasn't hallucinating. I could feel tears beginning to form in my eyes, with a smile on my face.
My jelly boyfriend fell out of the computer chair, tackling me back onto the bed, laughing as he hugged me. "Mark, we're free!", he shouted, crying with tears of joy. Just saying the words and meaning them, was the most insane thing to ever happen to happen to him. He simply couldn't believe that it was actually real. "You're free?!", I asked, thinking about all the things we could do now. We could actually eat at a restraunt, we could go to the park, we could watch a movie at a theater... We could finally do the things that all the other couples did.
We laughed and cried tears of overflowing happiness, snuggling in the bed. I eventually opened my eyes, realizing something. "Say... where's the others?", I asked. He paused, looking at me, explaining, "Oh... they left a couple hours ago." My eyes widened in shock. "They... what?!", I asked. "They left a couple hours ago!", my jelly boyfriend repeated. "What do you mean they left? They're going to be kidnapped again and-", I began to say, before he placed a finger on my lips, telling me to go silent.
"They're free now, too. All thanks to you, Mark...", he whispered. I could see in his eyes that ideas were beginning to form... "Do... Do they know where they're going?", I asked, deeply concerned. "They'll figure it out...", he explained to me. "I gave them your phone number, so they'll call you soon. They owe their lives to you, Mark..." I could feel his right hand begin to trail down my chest. "...And... and... and so.. do I...", he mumbled, before reaching inside my pants.
"Nnngh...", I helplessly moaned as he purged into my loins. "You know... if it wasn't for you, I would still be in the sewers...", he explained, slowly unzipping my jeans. I looked up at him, beginning to breathe heavily. "J-Jelly...", I groaned, "If... if it wasn't for you... I wouldn't... ahh!", I screamed, as he wrapped his hand around my manhood. "If it wasn't for me, you would have went to someone else... but you're all mine, you know...", he whispered to me.
It was at this moment where the most distracting thing possible happened. The phone began to ring on the computer desk. Me and My jelly boyfriend looked at it, before looking back at each other, knowing that we really didn't want anything distracting us, but at the same time, I had to answer it. I got up from the bed, and picked up the phone. It was an unknown number. I looked over at him to see him incredibly irritated, waiting for me to end the call. I push the "Answer call" button. "H-hello?", I ask.
"Hey Mark!", I heard Barry say on the other side of the phone line. I guess he was the first lucky one, I suppose. "Oh, hey Barry!", I reply, "How's it going?" I quickly begin to take off my clothes as I was talking to him. "Well, Mark... I found something I really like doing!", he answered. "What's that?", I asked. "I found what they call a... what is it, guys?", I could hear him asking. "Ah, a metal band!", he replied. "Whoooa!", I replied in shock. "What is it?", my jelly boyfriend whispered to me. "A metal band, Barry?", I asked. "Yeah, these guys are really chill. Their music is actually pretty good as well. I'm not sure if you'd be into it, though...", he told me.
"Why's that?", I asked, climbing back into the bed. "I'm not sure, actually. These guys sound a lot like Tool, mixed in with a little Metallica.", he replied. "Whoa, hold up!", I told him, surprised. "That... is... AWESOME!", I said with joy. I could tell that my jelly boyfriend was starting to become anxious. Maybe somewhat... desperate. "Uh...", I say, "Can I call you back?", I asked. "Sorry man, but I'm at a payphone right now.", he told me. "Listen... I'll call you back whenever I can. We're actually working on a new album, so I'll definitely keep you updated!", he excitedly told me. "Thanks, Barry!", I replied. "Hey Mark?", he asked.
"What is it?", I responded. "Th-thank you... for everything...", he replied, hanging up.
