Chapter Text
Jax goes into the bathroom and turns the water on. He starts panicking and everything looks like it's shaking.
It takes him a few seconds to calm down and look up at himself in the bathroom mirror.
Jax: “God, you look stupid.”
His legs start shaking and he falls to his knees in front of the sink. The room feels like it's spinning as he lays down on the floor.
His throat is dry and he starts coughing. He holds onto the edge of the counter and slowly gets up off the ground. He sees an empty glass cup and puts it under the faucet.
When the cup is full of water, he turns off the faucet and drinks the water in his cup. He sets the glass down on the counter and leaves the bathroom.
After The Awards Show….
He doesn't talk to anyone as he walks back to the tent with the other members. The lights are off in the main room and he wants to sleep.
He's tired of trying to keep his mask on everyday. He's tired of trying to make them think he's someone else.
He didn't want to push Pomni away. But he knew he had to. He couldn't have another friend again. When Ribbit started losing his mind, Jax thought he could save him. But he waited too long.
He didn't want that to happen to anyone ever again. The purple rabbit stands in front of Kinger.
Kinger: “Come inside.”
Kinger moves some pillows out of the way and lets Jax go into his pillow fort first. The chesspiece puts the pillows back where they were as soon as both of them are inside.
He puts a pillow behind Jax and the rabbit puts his head down on it.
Jax: “I-”
Kinger: “Shh. We can talk tomorrow. Get some sleep.”
Jax: “Thank you.”
Kinger nods. He knew the rabbit was tired and needed somewhere else to stay for the night.
Jax closes his eyes and hopes everything will be better tomorrow. He wakes up the next morning alone in the fort and sees a soft light pink blanket on top of him.
