*Throws this small chapter at you*
(For 500 reads and just because I want to give you something nice before some serious drama unfolds in the next chapter!)


*Mentions of depression, bullying, and more vulgar language!*


*No P.O.V*

*After Balloon ran to his room*

Everyone was silent.... Nobody expected this to happen.

Trophy was still enraged, but he was visibly upset. Salt was also still filled with rage, but she looked confused. Everyone else was shocked by the events that went down.

Nobody dared to say anything. But everyone was probably wondering the same thing...

'Why did Trophy of all people defend Balloon?', and 'Is Balloon really a different person?'.

This deathening silence was soon interrupted by Salt... being her usual self...

"Change? Balloon? WOW! What a nice fake sob story...", Salt sarcasticly said.

"EXCUSE ME?", Trophy scowled at her.

"I mean. Come on! Balloon is not capable of change! Have you met him! He was such a bitch last season!", Salt continued.

"I mean, she is right Trophy! Balloon is really awful! I have no idea why you defended him!", Pepper confessed.

"I AM NOT IN THE MOOD TO DO THIS SHIT AGAIN!", Trophy exclaimed, angrily.

"OKAY! Everyone calm down! This has gotten out of hand!", OJ stepped in, hoping to deescalate.

"... Pssh. Whatever.... I'm going on a walk...", Trophy said, beginning to walk out of the kitchen, pushing passed Salt.

"HEY! YOU BASTERED! STOP SHOVING ME!", Salt yelled.

"Don't give a flying fuck, bitch.", Trophy confessed, sticking out the bird.

"*GASP* HOW FUCKING DARE YOU! YOU KNOW... IT MAKES SENSE YOU PROTECTED BALLOON! YOU ASSHOLES HAVE TO STICK TOGETHER IN ORDER TO MAKE IT FAR!", Salt yelled.

Trophy stopped dead in his tracks.... His eyes dilated and his face in a big scowl. He slowly turned his head towards Salt, looking like he was ready to kill a bitch.

"...... You know nothing about him....", Trophy said in a deep, scary scowl.

"W-what-", Salt tried to muster, getting cut off by Trophy.

"YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT BALLOON! ALL OF YOU! IF YOU DID.... HE WOULDN'T BE LIKE THIS! HE WOULDN'T BE SO PARANOID AND DEPRESSED! YOU ALL ANTAGONIZE HIM EVERY FUCKING DAY AND HE'S DEPRESSED ABOUT IT! YOU ALL HAVE NO RESPECT FOR HIM AND IT UPSETS ME!", Trophy yelled at everyone.

Total silence filled the rooms. Everyone was even more shocked than they were before. Balloon was depressed? And it was their fault!? 

A sudden guilt filled the room and Trophy turned around and continued his walk towards the main doors.

"I defended Balloon because I am the only other one who understands him...", he claimed as he walked out and slammed the door.

'Did we go too far?', was the only thought in everyones mind.



*Trophy's P.O.V*

I CANNOT BELIEVE SALT! UGH! SHE IS SUCH AN ARROGANT BITCH! GOD! THE AUDACITY TO CONTINUE TALKING SHIT TOWARDS BALLOON! FUCKING COME ON! ...... 

.... I need to calm down... otherwise I'm going to either kill someone or punch a tree until my knuckles bleed.

'That's why I'm outside.... To take a nice calming stroll.', I thought to myself.

I'm just walking... Nothing more. I would take some photos, but I'm not in the mood. Plus I forgot my camera in my room. Maybe I could listen to some calming music as I walk!

I grab my headphones from my pocket as well as my phone. I connect my headphones and go to my Spotify on my phone. I click on the 'Calming Music' playlist in my library and put my phone in my pocket.

Man I was super tense from my anger, I could physcially feel my muscles loosen up once the music started. I was feeling a little less angry already.

I couldn't help but think back to Balloon.... I REALLY want to see if he was okay. However, I know Balloon... and he just needs some time to calm down, some time to himself. Yea, he could hurt himself, but he won't! I trust him.

Man, getting all that anger out and just expressing myself about Balloon's situation felt super good. They all needed to hear that. They all needed to know how HORRIBLE they have been treating Balloon!

... Balloon.... I hope he's okay. I had the same nightmare last night. Balloon just disappeared and never came back. I'm worried about him. I'm worried he's going to disappears from me again. That he's going to leave me alone again.... 

I hated this feeling. This feeling of being alone. The feeling of being not being good enough. I feel tears in my eyes. I'm alone, so I let them run down my face.

I haven't cried in a long time. I don't remember the last time I cried. But, I couldn't help but cry. Why? Why now?

Was it because of Balloon doing something stupid? The nightmare of Balloon disappearing? The fear of being alone? The fear of loosing Balloon again? Perhaps, it was all of those things.

I see a nice tree and decide to just sit down and continue to listen to my music. Damn, this is super calming. I start to feel my eyes becoming heavy.

Before I could do anything, I fall into slumber.

My final thoughts are about Balloon, disappearing from my life again.


*End of chapter 6.5*

Have a bonus chapter for all you impatient peeps!

(I'm supposed to be asleep right now... but I decided that sleep could wait

so I could give you this mini chapter until the actual chapter...)


Just thought it would be fun to write what happened after

the fight and when Balloon ran to his room.


Now. I'm going to post an actual chapter tomorrow!


See ya!
