Chapter 10 Justin
-Ah the morning in the city , car horn blaring , neighbors screaming . Isnt it making you feel alive , said Justin to his roomate
- Sure beats your guitar skills , joke Thomaz , seriously what's got into you man
Thomaz was a great friend , his bestfriend, he was a douchebag sometimes , but when shit went down , Thomaz was the first to have your back , he was a good roomate noisy but he did is part , a good drummer even though he missed half the pratice, he was an even better friend.
- Did you pay the rent yet , ask Justin eating a peanut butter sandwich
When people say musician are broke , it was considered assuming yes ,it was a prejudice yes but in there case it was true . Justin had a job as a science assistant that brought home a bit of cash , Thomaz had musical gigs here and there and would do clinical try out . They were broke , not broke , broke but broke enough to say we came from nothing when they make it big ,thoughts Justin smiling . It sure beats his life at the farm , yes he was a farm boy the only man of three child , which in his father eyes made him the one to inherit the farm , did he ever ask Justin , if farm life interested him ? Of course not , Justin didnt hate his family , he had two sister Sarah , who was the only reason he wasnt out in the street she was a genius in budget managing , not to mention Pezzie who cooked him numerous meal and kept him well fed , his sister were great . He felt bad for his dad truth be told, he understood his dad fear , the simple fact that Jebedaiha had to grow up so quick , that he had found faith has a coping mechanism , that he preach because , he never saw how to be a dad ,his father was a flawed man but he tried , thought Justin sadly . He did try and if people didnt assume that Justin was gonna be just like Jebedaiha when he came an adult , his life maybe would have been different , it was astonishing to Justin that it had been so hard to breath out in the nature of rural area and here in the city he felt so much freedom . Justin went to work that day ,the shift went well , if it wasnt for the meeting with the boss that afternoon theyre was a lack of work right now and they would have to let people go . Justin knew it was bullshit , there was only two possible reason, why they were letting him go , he was close to being in the union or he was would be replace by one member of the said union had a friend , a family member that needed a job or knew it would be easy to slack off and be replace . They can go fuck themselves , he had a bright future and didnt need them. The problem was rent , no the problem was Thomaz , Justin couldnt fathom bringing bad news to his best friend , he had to find a solution to bring money .
Thomaz brought doughnut that night from one of his clinical tryouts .
- Aren't those for everyone ,ask Justin curiously
- If people don't see a box of doughnuts , they dont expect to have some , said Thomaz
Justin had a moment of laughter Thomaz was a champion when it came to finding loophole and coming up with the craziest reason and most of the time they made enough sense . After a couple of second Justin stopped laughing
- Something wrong at work today? Ask his roommate
- Man , I have some bad news ,I lost my job .he answered sadly
- No shit, brainiac you been screwing the boss daughter ,answered Thomaz
Wel that could be another problem.It wasn't a screw , he actually liked the girl , she was smart , pretty and enjoy the same band he did , the fact that she was the boss daughter , just made thing more enjoyable .
- What are we gonna do ,said Justin
- Ive got you cover ,answered Thomaz , I got another shift , but I need you to go and replace me at the clinic .
- But , Justin started
- I know how you feel , but toughen up, its survival , you want to make the rent or not?
- Goddamit , fine, fine , ill do it he finally said
Thomaz was right, they needed the money, beside his roommate seemed fine , what we're the risk . So he left the apartment and went to the clinic, they made him fill paper up and guide him in a room to wait for a technician . As he waited he could hear ,noise that oddly resemble growls and also strange rattling like a chain being pulled . What was going on ? Just then the technician appeared
- M . Thomaz Andrescu? He ask
- Yes ,lied Justin
- Are you ready? Have you sign the waver ? Asked the technician
They heard the rattling again , Justin saw a glimmer of fear in the man face .
- What is going on ,ask Justin curious
- Dont worry, the technician said , we are testing a cure for rabbies on dog
- And what are we testing on me , ask the musician
- I cant say too much , he replied , lets just say it would greatly increase cell reproduction
Justin had love science in school , he knew what that meant , they were trying to slow the aging process , the possibility of what was next , where so exciting , this was truly a huge step in modern medicine. He could hardly , believe they had even achieve this .All worried where gone , this product would be worth million and he had a free dose .They set him up , and injected the experimental medicine , they made Justin take multiple physical test , monitoring him , to be honest he felt great , it was possibly a placebo effect but he did feel great , so great in fact that he arrange to spend the night at his hopefully girlfriend house , they had watch a romcom that made him fall asleep , when he woke up , he felt young , he felt invincible he had the urge to fuck , during which he felt ravenous , he was biting her , scratching her , till he stopped feeling good he puke , once and then twice , he had to go home , he felt sick , nauseous , he had headache , he called Thomaz, who brought him home in his car . Justin woke up , feeling extremely dizzy , went on the couch to look at the news , he was so sleepy and found a note of paper
Thank you ,Jay
