Part Time Love

Chapter 14: True Friends

"Stan. Please open the door. Did something happen today?" Rox asked with concern.

"Wolf and his friends." I answered.

"We're they bullying you?"

"Yeah, but I done something terrible. I almost killed them with our altercation." I confessed.

"What?! Stan! You cloud've gotten in big trouble. Fighting never solves anything!" Rox says in a serious tone.

"Yeah but they insulted my mother of being in the hospital and they took my best friends away!" I shouted through the door.

"But still, walking away or ignoring them is always the answer, as for Fox and Falco, they aren't the right friends for you. Do you understand son?" He asks.

"Yes Dad." I answered.

"Think about your actions." Rox says before he left to the living room.

I was in deep thought while laying down on my bed for a couple of hours. I shouldn't have trusted that demon Stella that manipulated me earlier.

   Just then the doorbell rang, which scared me since I assumed it was the police, but I noticed it was Loona and my friends from work.

   As Rox answered the door, he was surprised about 6 girls at his front door.

"Um, hello. How can I help you ladies?" Rox asked.

"Is Stan home? We were worried about him. We are his colleagues from work." Krystal explains.

"He is. Come on in." He says as he let the girls in the house.

"Are you his dad?" Loona asked with curiosity.

"Yep."

"Well, we do want to give our condolences to your wife. I hope she will feel better." Diane says.

"Thank you. She is still in the MICU, but she is improving a little." Rox explains.

"Where is Stan by the way? I do want to see him." Nika asked with excitement.

"You ladies make yourselves at home. I'll get Stan." Rox says as he went down the hall to my bedroom.

"Stan, please come out. Your friends are here." Rox says.

"Coming." I said as I unlocked the door and walked out.

As I came out of my room and headed to the living room and they smiled happily when I walked in the living room. Loona make Nika scoot over to make me sit between them on the couch.

"I'll get some refreshments." Rox says as he went to the kitchen for minute.

"Stan, why were you with that Karen earlier?" Loona asked.

"She made me stand up to Wolf and his friends over what they done, but she manipulated me for her entertainment."

"Why would you trust someone that evil? Luckily you weren't going to jail since the owner of The Cheesecake Factory decided to just ban you. What caused you to be stupid of trusting her?" Krystal asked.

"When, she said I need a mother figure." I said.

"What?! That was a horrible way to manipulate someone!" Dasha shouted.

"Well! I I'm still worried about my mom having a life threatening case of Covid 19." I said.

As Rox was about to head back to the living room. He stopped in the kitchen when he started hearing of how upset I was about my mother Audrey being sick in the hospital.

"Stan, you can't be afraid of going back to the hospital." Renamon says with worry.

"I just afraid of her dying and I never want to see her suffering on her death bed." I confessed.

"I understand, but don't let the bad memories stuck in head and what that Karen said to you." Loona says.

"Yeah, You're mom doesn't want you to be this way." Krystal added.

"Trust us Stan, We have your back ,and if you believe, you're mom will be better soon in no time. Besides, your dad told us she is starting to recover a little." Dasha says.

"He did?" I asked as I looked up surprised.

"Yes honey. You mother is starting to recover. So she is okay Stan. Don't worry about losing her." Nika says as she rubbed my back.

"I should've not have let that get to me." I said.

"It's okay Stan. As long you don't think negative, or if you are worried, don't be afraid to talk about it to us." Krystal suggested.

"Thank you for helping."

"No prob. Even though you started working with us, you are already my favorite employee." Diane says with a smirk.

I smiled a little and blushed and Nika teased me a little to make me turn red more. Rox then finally came out and gave everyone a soda and was shocked about me that I attracted girls already from work. We finally had a time together talking and having fun hanging out.

    Meanwhile at the hospital, Wolf and his friends were recovering from what I did to them today.

   Wolf was able to recover from second degree burns on his face. He still had blisters under his fur and painful sores.

As for Druce, the third degree burn print on his palm was permanent. He lost the feeling of his hand and the stab wound I gave him in his stomach was stitched up but has trouble walking by it.

As for Jack, he was unrecognizable, and he was permanently blind, his face was burnt and swelled up and his fur was burnt off as well.

Just then, his heart monitor made a long flatlined sound. Jack just died in his hospital bed and Druce noticed and started to cry and his rage builds up at the same time.
