TW: mention of SH
song recommandation: Where is my mind- Pixies (we don't care anymore when the songs came out lolololololol)
Alex and Jim entered the dinner. It had a weird smell but they didn't cared. They instantly saw the corpse. The corpse was already very decomposed. That also was the reason for the weird smell. "Gosh this is disgusting", Alex said. "Do you really think he had a reason to kill himself? You know strange times at the moment", Alex continued. "I don't know", Jim said. "I think we have seen enough", Jim said stepping out of the dinner. "Where are we going now?", Alex asked when they stepped back into the car. "Police station", Jim said driving away from the dinner. Alex thoughts start to drive off again
-flashback AGAIN LMAOO-
"Heyyy Hop", a big tall man said as Alex and Jim entered the dinner. "Hop?", Alex asked Jim. "Nicknames", he said. They sat down on a table and the big tall man came to their table. "Hey Hop, haven't seen you in years man, I heard what happened to your kid, I'm sorry for ya loss", he said. Jim tensed up a bit. "Thanks man", he said looking at the man. "So you must be Alex right?", the man asked. "Yeah I am", she said. "So what can I bring you", the man asked. "A burger for me and a coke, Alex?", Jim said. "A water", Alex said. The man nodded and walked to the kitchen.
"Nothing to eat?", Jim asked. "Nah I don't feel like eating right now", Alex said. Jim nodded. Alex started to zone out. Gosh life is hard she thought. She never thought that Hopper will find out about her cutting problem. He didn't even looked mad. She looked down to her arm. She thought she had it under control but sometimes she couldn't help it. It's like an addiction and you can't get out of the cycle. All of the sudden Alex felt a hand on top of hers and looked up to meet Jims eyes. "You aren't mad at all?", Alex asked. "Oh my god no Alex, never, that's not your fault-" "Well actually it is", Alex interrupted. "Yeah no, mental health sucks sometimes. It's like an addiction and it's hard, I know that", Jim said.
"i'm sorry", Alex said after a while of uncomfortable silence. "It's alright Alex, don't be sorry", JIm said. "but have you ever thought of talking to a professional?", Jim continued. "Actually no, not really they can be scary sometimes or traumatising", Alex said. "But why not try it out? It can help talking to someone", Jim said. "Well, we can try find out someone and maybe it will help me", Alex said. "Sounds good to me", Jim said.
"Soooo, here we have a coke, a water and a bruger", the man said. "thanks", Alex said already feeling a bit better. When the man was gone Alex spoke up again "thank you also Jim, I really appreciate you". "I love you kid", Jim said. "I love you too Hop", Aley said mockingly.
-flashback end-
"Do you remember when you brought me to the dinner the first time?", Alex asked. "yeah very much", Jim said. "why? Do you think about it?", he asked. "yeah kind of, i know everyone has problems", Alex said looking down to her arm, "but the place gave me some comfort and now it probably never will again", she continued. "I'm sorry", Jim said. "It's fine", Alex said. Jims and Alex song came on: WHeres my mijnd by the pixies. They looked at each others before Alex turned the radio louder.
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
I was swimming in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rock
Except the little fish
Bump into me, swear he's
Tryin' a talk to me, say wait wait
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimming
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimming
They sung their lungs out while singing along. They both missed that. It was releaving for both of them. "I missed that", Jim said. "yeah me too", Alex said.
"By the way, later im gonna check on on Joyce again, she looked very stressed this morning and i just wanna make sure she's alright, it could take a bit i don't know", Alex said. "No worries, take your time", he said winking at Alex. "gosh", she said playfully hitting Jims arm.
