After Joker's identity has been uncovered in front of the whole school, Seraphina decides to confront John about the toxicity of their friendship. However, due to severe head injury, he is suffering from temporary amnesia, making him unable to satis...
"Who are you and what have you done with the real John?", Blyke inquired.
" Excuse me, what the fu*k.", I raised an eyebrow.
"Then what have you been smoking?", he scratched his chin curiously," Cuz I could use some of that."
My jaw dropped. What?!
"Blyke. I am sober.", I slowed my speech, emphasising the 'sober' part.
Rubbing the tips of his fingers on his temples, he stumbled back. "Wait. I need to sit down." Blyke said while dropping onto the messed-up bed behind him, "So you're telling me that you are honestly sorry about what you did."
"Yes." I nodded with slight enthusiasm.
"And you're completely conscious, you haven't suffered any further... head injuries?", he knitted his brows as he placed his fingers together in a 'thoughtful' manner.
" No, I'm fine.", I said blankly in response.
"Interesting. Are you sure-"
"Blyke!", I barked, composing myself soon after,"I understand that it's hard to believe, but I'm genuinely sorry. I just want you to know I feel really bad about what I did." I looked down to the floor, falling silent.
I felt Blyke's hand on my shoulder, I glanced up at him while he said, "Alright, John, I believe you.", he gave me a small smile.
I sat up and returned the kind gesture, feeling grateful for my roommate's understanding. He retreated towards them door and asked, " So, is that everything you wanted to talk about? ", as he reached for the handle.
" Wait, there's still something else. "
The boy sighed and turned to face me again, "Well, shoot.", he gestured for me to go on.
" I wanted to ask you about... well...girls.", I mumbled nervously.
Blyke's expression relaxed and a withheld smile crept onto his face.
"What are you smiling about?!", I questioned, uncomfortable.
He shrugged and said," I'm just surprised Romeo is having trouble with his Juliette."
"Shut up." I threatened. But noticing the slight tension in Blyke after my response, I shifted to a calmer composure. "You see, I really screwed up. Like seriously, fu*ked up big time."
Blyke raised his eyebrows curiously as I continued, "I just found out, Sera has been bottling up all of her frustration about me. Honestly I had no idea she had any! I've been so ignorant and I don't know how to fix it.", I looked up at him expectantly.
" Hold on, you like-like her, right?", he asked and I nodded hesitantly. He continued, "Well, Seraphina seemed most hurt by your lies so maybe you could try being honest about how you see her-"
"NOPE...bad idea! I already tried that, it literally backfired.", I shook off the memories of Sera's glares and menacing...almost kiss.
" Karma is a bit*h."
Sure is.
"Huh?!", Blyke's jaw dropped, " What do you mean you tried that?! You told her already! ", he asked excitedly.
" Well, I told her and asked her out but...", I signed lowly, "S-she took it really badly. Now, I don't know how to tackle the problem. Cuz the way I see it, I can either leave her alone and give her space or keep bothering her with apologies.", I put my hands out in front of me and teetered them like a balance, " Neither seems like a particularly good solution. "
Blyke stroked his chin as he thought. He thought for a while. Then finally said, "True both ideas have a good few drawbacks... did she mention and issues in particular while she vented?"
"Hmmm, well she seemed fixated on how I didn't keep my word about changing." , I scratched my neck glumly, " Which is understandable. "
With a clap of his hands, Blyke exclaimed, " Why didn't you say so?! The solution is simple! " he continued, " Just change." The redhead had a look on his face that could suggest he had just discovered gravity.
"Oh wOw. ThAnKs FoR eNlIgHtEnInG Me.", I rolled my eyes.
"Hey I'm serious. Just do something that would make your change so obvious she wouldn't be able to deny it!"
"But what would that be?", I asked
" um... I don't know dude, maybe it'll come to you in a dream or something.", he opened the door, signalling for me to leave.
Getting up from the chair, I thanked Blyke for his help and left. Once I stepped through the frame I said, "Good-", the door slammed, "-night."
"Ass.", I breathed while walking across the narrow hallway and into my room. Although, I really did appreciate Blyke's help.
I'll think of something. I'm not giving up yet, Sera.
