When I woke up I wasn't any happier than I was yesterday. I mean, obviously he didn't like me back, why would he? I am a monster! Physically and mentaly, I didn't deserve Steven's kindness, I didn't deserve to be Matt's friend! I didn't deserve anything I had now, why did I even agree to Henry's deal? Why would I want revenge that badly then I remembered something I had met Henry far before then.
It was the first day of summer break and I was still getting used to the horns but that was when I noticed something off in the mirror, 'that's not me!' I thought the figure smiled at me and said "You know, you are a very special kid, I could possibly need you in the future." I tilted my head at this and said "but why mr? What could you need me for?" the figure kept on smiling and said "we will cross that point when we come to it, anyways i am Dr. Henry Miller and you are?" I smiled at the figure and said "my name is y/n!and I'd be happy to help!" the figure seemed to reach his hand out the mirror and said "so, it's a deal then?" I quickly shook his hand and grinned, "I'm happy to help anyone who needs it! But what did you need?" the figure shook his head "you'll know soon enough, and when you meet me again you won't be able to decline" i just shrugged as the figure vanished before my eyes, his pink eyes disappearing last, where my eyes would have stood.
WHY DIDN'T I REALIZE THIS BEFORE!? My thoughts were interrupted by Steven knocking on my door. "Hey y/n, may I come in?" Steven asked, I responded saying "yes, you can" Steven entered and sat next to me on my bed "hey, about yesterday, what happened?" I just looked down and shook my head. He just nodded and said "that's fine, you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, but I did need to talk to you, whenever you see to not be around, jackson has been acting....strange"...i think i new what he meant by that, and it wouldn't be far off too, since what happened at the hospital. Steven looked over at me for a moment and said "you being upset has something to do with Matt going out with that girl, right?" I kept my head down but nodded slightly. Steen just wrapped his arm around me and sighed, "I don't think he deserved you anyway! He sells illegal fireworks! Do you really think that's someone you should hang out with on a daily basis? Let alone make you feel this bad" i just looked at steven and smiled and said "you're probably right....'' Steven got up saying "also, breakfast is ready, i came to get you so your food doesn't get cold" steen exited the room allowing me to change out of my pajamas. I walked out to see eggs and bacon out (if ur vegan ig u got pancakes) "thank you steven, i appreciate it" steven just (somehow)gave me a happy look. "No need to thank me, I'm living in your house. It's the least i can do" i just smiled, he was so sweet, what would i do without him? He interrupted my thoughts with "I heard that the pizzeria is almost finished, am I right? I think that is going to be pretty awkward between you and matt.'' I just nodded bleakly. It would be, i liked him a lot but it figures he wouldn't like me back, who would? I just got up to wash my plate and put it away when my thoughts drifted to what henry had said 'you won't be able to decline' was i controlled? How? Why did I make that deal in the first place, and I had remembered I knew Mark in kindergarten too, and he would always ramble on about 'the scary pink man' he was telling the truth! I was interrupted by Steven saying "hey, i've seen how you acted even before what happened at the pizzeria,and i know you are going to hate this but i've booked you a therapist, her name is Evie you'll see her tomorrow" WHAT?! "I don't need therapy! I'm fine!" Steven just shook his head at me and said "yes, you do you clearly have some sort of trauma with those horns and that's not good to keep bottled up" he was right so i replied back with "ok steven, i'm gonna go on a walk wanna come with?" Steven just shook his head saying "sorry n/n (nickname) but no can do! I'm gonna clean up around here today" I huffed at this'' Steven you don't have to clean up my house ''Steven just replied with what he always does "it's the least I can do!" I just smiled and thanked him on my way out. I ran into someone who i didn't really want to see....Matt "hey y/n! Why'd ya run off yesterday?" matt said i just smiled and said in response "i was just tired! How'd that date go?" Matt blushed at this ad said "it wasn't a date, but shes amazing! Couldn't ask for anyone better!" and i could've sworn i heard him say under his breath 'well except you' but im probably hearing things. Matt joined me on my walk and we noticed something; the pizzeria was fully finished. Matt looked very annoyed at this and just said "UGH, guess we won't be out of a job anymore!" I was still upset about what happened yesterday between me and him but i can't really be mad can i? People shouldn't have to like me back. Peter was standing outfront looking through some papers and looked up at me "OH! Just the person I was looking for! The restaurant wont open till tomorrow, but we WILL still need security, you will get paid for today" I was confused, why would they need security for today? "If you're confused, the reason is that there was another freddies that was just burned down, and we want to keep that from happening to this one" i understood and peter started talking again "i will be here with you, but im not much in a fight, and according to your records you would THROW people who would disobey the rules or 'hurt' foxy so, i would appreciate your help on this, are you up for it?" i nodded and said, "i will have to call my friend first so he doesn't worry about me" peter seemed to understand so i called steven and said "so, the pizzeria got done, and although it wont be open till tomorrow, they need security for today, thought i'd let you know,but i'll be be back as soon as i can, so don't worry!" steven replied "will the hours be as they were? What time will you be home?" i looked up at peter and repeated the question peter responded with "the shift will be over at 6:30 PM" i repeated that to steven and hung up, matt had already walked off with the MENTION of work, so it was just me and peter there. We went inside, while i tried to ignore the obvious smell of gasoline and peter leaned against a wall and said "Hey uh, thanks for agreeing too this shift, to be honest we were already threatened with the place being burned down"...WHAT?! "The reason i didnt tell you sooner is cause i didnt want you to back out, im truly sorry but the thing is, the handwriting looked just like jacksons. I was wondering if you would know if he's been acting odd lately? When he first started working for us he looked as if he could do no wrong, so we were wondering if he has done something like this before?" i looked at hiim as he pulled out said note. This was jacksons handwriting....but henrys writing style he got sloppy. "This IS his handwriting, but this is VERY out oof character for him. He could be getting framed." peter nodded and said "thats what i thought, but it still scares me to think someone cou-" he was interrupted by a window breaking and someone throwing a lit match... "HECK!" petre cried out while running off to get a fire extinguisher i presume and i was attempting to stomp out the small flame before it grew any bigger. Peter ran back in and put out the fire, it dint grow to large, thankfully. Peter sighed in relief before saying "That couldve been worse, right? Thankfully all we need to do is replace a table and window, that should only take 3 more days, see you then, employee" i smiled at peter and realized the shift was over "bye boss, see you then!" i walked home to see steven asleep on the couch,again. So i just picked him up and took him to his room. What iwas shocked by was steven 'waking' up and saying "you know i wasnt really asleep right? Its only 6:30 pm, just wanted to test ya" putting his arms around me and resting his 'head' on mine. "But can you please stay for a bit? It gets pretty lonely at night" i jut rested my head against his chest before replying "sure" steven lied down on his bed, with me still in his arms and ran his fingers through my hair "why are you so kind to me y/n, after all i put you through while you worked for me i would've thought you'd hate me" i just said "of course not steven, and you're forgetting that i burned down the pizzeria again." falling asleep
