[BL, MTL] I'm Not Shouldering This Blame

Chapter 59: Running Away

Johnson's uncle, Lake, is still missing, and he heard from Mr. Lawyer that the adoption process cannot be processed for the time being, and he cannot go to school at present, so he can only stay at home.

There was plenty of food, there was great care, there were TV shows and computer games, but Johnson wasn't interested in anything.

A teenager who has been hurt is very sensitive.

Living together every day, eating at the same table, watching a talk show on the sofa in the living room every night, and saying goodnight to each other every day...... The longer they spent together, the more strange Johnson felt.

Katie's favorite guests on the show are humorous, but they always change their ways to ridicule the poor, alluding to them as social garbage.

The show is positioned to please the middle class, as well as those who aspire to that class. Johnson has not yet been stupefied by the city's bustling drunken life, and these shows that make Katie laugh happily have always embarrassed the teenager.

He is like a guest in this home, no matter how much hospitality and care he receives, he can't fit in.

After Johnson found out a few midnight arguments, Katie and Charlie would not argue at home, they would go to the community park or the bar, and they told Johnson that "there are always contradictions in life, but they think it's wrong to argue in front of their children and they should avoid it."

Now, they're out again.

It was snowing so hard that at Christmas, he was left alone in the cold room.

The lawyer's phone call for heating maintenance did not go through, and Katie said that she would go out with her to see if there were any supermarkets that were still open, and they still had a smile on their faces, but they were very reluctant.

Johnson tucked his head into the blanket.

Last night, Christmas Eve, they were eating a turkey meal in the living room when the whole house suddenly shook.

Then a number of black oblate ball-like monsters appeared in the house, and Johnson saw a monkey with long arms through the glass window, grinning and jumping, shaking the snow off the pine trees.

***

On the street of the community, a woman in a down jacket shouted angrily: "I've had enough, Charlie! You can also see that when the monster comes, Johnson will only hide in the corner! Fortunately, it's just a dozen black hairballs, what if it's a gibbon monkey, or even a man-eating squid? "

The man with the black hat said impatiently, "Then what are you going to do?" Tell him, baby, that there is actually a mysterious power in our bodies, and that we can manipulate it to protect ourselves and defeat monsters? "

The woman's eyes widened, and she gasped: "Why not?" "

"He was a victim of violence in school, and Johnson Brown hated violence because of his childhood! Katie, have you forgotten the words of the original book? "

"When faced with a monster attack, you can only cry and tremble, this is our protagonist? I regret taking on this task! The blonde Katie was furious, "I'd rather be the hapless Jack and fly across the ocean and wander the demonic realm than on days like this." "

As she spoke, she counted Johnson's shortcomings.

"His socks were not clean, his knives and forks were not used well, and a set of plates was all broken porcelain. I won't use a lawn mower, not even a microwave! Oh, God! "

With an exaggerated expression of "this is a disaster" on Katie's face, she blames the man in front of her and throws everything to her.

"Last night, the forsaken world came, and we finally killed those black hairballs, and he didn't do anything! The furniture and appliances in the room are all destroyed, where do we get the money to repair them? Last month was already in deficit, and this month's check is still dragging on and not being cashed! "
