No? Come on! Can't you be a little less honest? *pout*

Ok, ok, I'll stop talking so you can read the fanfic! Enjoy!

Jocelyn's P.O.V.

"Ok, someone needs to give that boy a counseling session or he's gonna act like a half dead zombie all the time." I announce. Jax is in his cabin sulking while the rest of us have a meeting.

"She's right." Maxine nods, "It's.... weird.... and depressing........... and sad with him acting like that. As his friends we gotta help."

"Is there some spell that makes him more normal?" Ollie asks.

"Umm, there is, but I haven't mastered it." Kayla answers.

"And happy is not in my talents list." I add.

"We should give him reasons to keep going." Maxine says, "Make him see more sense."

"I agree." I nod. "I nominate Maxine!"

"I nominate Kayla." Maxine replies.

"I nominate anyone and everyone who can counsel." Ollie adds.

"Actually, you guys are gonna go too soft on him. I nominate me to snap some sense into him!" I change my mind.

"Umm, Jocelyn, try not to be too harsh on him ok?" Maxine asks.

"Pffff! Since when have I been hard on anyone?" I ask, before stomping into Jax's room.

"Oi, Mr Sulky! Get up! We have work to do and the situation isn't gonna get any better with sulking!" I bark.

"I'm not sulking!" Jax says from under his blanket.

"Yeah, like we believe you." I mutter, "Look, either you get up and appreciate the fact that I'm not turning you into a frog right now or you sit here and let me turn you into a frog."

"I don't want to do anything." Jax mumbles.

"Ok, how about I put it like this, I'll try to find a spell to track Gilly and you, you just start acting normally. Deal?" I say, knowing that I'd have to search through every single one of Harlow's books to do my end of the deal.

"Alright." Jax says, pulling the blanket off him, revealing panda dark rings under his eyes and very, very messy hair. "What do I do?"

"Sleep." I say, not a single doubt crossing my mind. "Now. And don't get out until you've gotten rid of those dark rings."

"Aye aye captain." Jax grumbles and flops onto the bed.

I walk out.

"So how did it go?" Maxine asks, nervously.

"Good. Now shush. The Sulk-Monster is sleeping." I reply.

"How? What? Why? How?" Kayla asks.

"I made a deal with him, now let me have my peace. I've got work to do. I walk into my cabin and grab the nearest spell book. Time to do my research.
