(Filler chapter- Short-)

3 weeks ago:

I watched him pick up my new friend as she protested against him doing so. Even though she did, she seemed to be happy he was there for her.

It has dawned upon me that this man took her away from me. He took the only friend I had. Why would he do that? What had I done to him?

It hurts that I'm alone now. Is it that I need someone to be around me so I'm not lonely? Am I dependent on others who are unknowingly taking care of me?

Why am I so cursed that I am split into two? Why did I have to be paired up with a blubbering idiot? Why can't I focus and be ME in this prison that I call a body?
I want to be able to take control and finish what I have started, especially will all of these new variables in the way. Is this a battle of the souls? Timid against Aggressive?

I sat there with the cards in my hands and focused. I wanted to be in control. I kept repeating this, and now I am. I can do this. I WILL do this.

I'm going to play this game so hard.

Present Day:

Quite some time has passed since the boys came back. However, the tension is still very heavy. Though, everyone is more civil now. Progress, right?

For some reason, you woke up particularly late today. It was around noon when you slung yourself out of bed. You make your way down stairs, only to find it smelling burnt.

You see a frantic Freddy fanning the air, sweat dripping down his forehead. You laugh a little and open the back door to let the air be free.

He turns to you and and smiled nervously, a pile of burnt pancakes behind him. You walk over and throw them out, they are literally inedible.

"Let's try it again!"

He smiles softly and nods, following all of the directions you give to him.

"I just wanted to make things up to you."

You stop him and hug him tightly, enough to squeeze the air out of him. You let him go and kiss his head.

"I understand, everything is okay now. You don't have to burn the house down."

He blushes and smiles, stepping to the side, embarrassed. He checks the time and smiles even wider.

"There is one more thing though."

As you both finish the pancakes and eat together, it comes to you that you haven't seen the others all day. Mike wasn't even in bed when you woke up. Is there a chance everyone is together?

"Where are the others?"

"You'll see when we get there."

Freddy led me to the pizzeria. It was a nice walk over there, he kept me talking about how to cook and what he wanted to try with me. I felt so comfortable around him. I felt as if all my trouble went away when we talked.

I didn't have to use my key to open the pizzeria doors, they were already open. I pushed open the doors to see everyone surrounding the stage.

A gender reveal party?

A smile at the gesture they put together. Everything is so well put together and thoughtful. I look around for Mike and I see him sitting at a table, looking exhausted.

I walked over next to him and sat with him, smiling with all my heart. He turned to look at me and I could see in his eyes that he really did love me. I put my hand on his and squeezed it tight.

::::::::

I watched them in silence. I watched them have fun and converse as if I didn't exist anymore. It made me insides turn.

I want to see them burn for what they've done to me. No, it was her. If she had never shown up, I wouldn't be in this mess. She has caused my inevitable end. Though, I am going to stop the inevitable and get back on the track I wanted to be on.

I want to see everything around her burn. I want to see her domestic life crumble into ash as she loses her friends. I want them to lose themselves and never find them again. I'll show her what complete monsters they really are. She'll see.
::::::::::

After the party, everyone slowly make their way home.
Mike and (Y/n) stay behind to clean up some for a while.

"This really feels like a crazy dream."

The pregnant woman cleaned off tables for the next workers who would come in for tomorrow. Mike put chairs back in place and he smiled, looking at her.

He sighed a happy sigh and relaxed. As he fixed the remainder of the pizzeria, he wondered about his future. He knew what he wanted, and he already had it. He just had to add one more thing to the mix. Though, would it even work? It hasn't been that long between the two.

In tense of a domestic life, what was their ideal? Of course, they had talked about it many times, but with all of the events that have been happening, who knows how long until things will be normal?

Who knows how their child will grow up with all of this danger. At the thought of their child, Mike was in a state of bliss. He wondered of their personality. He wondered of everything little thing about them.

Despite his griefs, he had something to keep him going.

The only question is..how long will this bliss last?
