It has been a year since what happened and I'm standing outside of my pizzeria for the first time since coming back with Jon next to me. I have the key in my hand and I'm about to unlock the door.
I feel Jon place a comforting hand on my shoulder.
"You know, Bryan? You don't have to come back yet. I know you are still having a hard time with what happened." Jon mentions with a soft smile.
I look at him. I give him a small smile back.
"I know I don't have to but I want to. I miss my animatronics." I explained to my best friend.
"I understand. If you need me, you can just call my phone. I do have a meeting to head to so I'll see you tonight." Jon explains and he gives me a side hug.
Jon starts to walk back to his car when I stop him.
"Hey, Jon?" I call out to him. Jon turns around.
"Yeah? What is it, buddy?" He asks me as he takes his car keys out of the pocket of his purple pants.
"Thanks for being here for me. And thanks for letting me live with you during my year break." I say to him gratefully. He smiles at me.
"You're welcome, buddy." Jon says before heading to his car again and hopping in.
I watch as he drives away.
I turn towards the pizzeria entrance again.
I insert the key into the door. I inhale deeply and then exhale.
I can do this..
"A new day at the pizzeria." I say to myself like I always did in the past.
I unlock the door and head inside.
I switch the keys for my key card.
I walk to the metal doors behind the curtain and I use my keycard to open it so I can go inside. I can hear my animatronics chatting.
As soon as I head into the main area, everything goes quiet.
"Bryan?" Helpy says in shock.
I smile softly and her and the others.
"Hey guys! I'm finally back." I explained to them.
Rockstar Freddy comes up to me.
"Are you doing better, Bryan?" He asks me worriedly. I nod.
"A little better, yeah. I missed you guys." I say as I hug Freddy.
Freddy hugs me back very lightly.
I pull away.
Then I hear Molten's laughter.
I feel my heart drop a bit. I also feel myself getting angry.
He was the reason why we ended up in that universe which resulted in me grabbing the Seductive Rose in the first place. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be traumatized right now.
"I see you're back, Bryan!" Molten says in a taunting tone.
"Molten, don't you dare!" Rockstar Freddy warns him.
Molten ignores Freddy.
I turn around to face Molten.
"You still traumatized, Bryan?" Molten asks me in a tone of not really caring.
"Yeah I am, Molten! Trauma doesn't just go away!" I snapped at him.
Molten laughs at that.
"Angry too, I see." He continues before laughing again.
"Yeah I'm angry! If it weren't for you messing with the portal, I wouldn't be filled with so much trauma! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have ended up in that universe which resulted me in grabbing that sword!" Everything is quiet now and Molten looks at me in shock.
"I blame you for what happened to me! I blame you for me getting possessed and forced to do things I never wanted to do!" I continued yelling at him. I have tears streaming down my face now.
I rush out of the room and head straight into the bathroom.
I could hear Freddy say something to Molten.
"I warned you, Molten."
I go to the sink and I start sobbing uncontrollably.
"Maybe it was a mistake coming back today." I muttered to myself.
I pull out my phone and I call Jon.
He thankfully answers his phone.
"Hey, Bryan. What can I do for you?" Jon asks me in a cheerful tone.
I can't help the sob that leaves my mouth.
"What's wrong, Bryan?" Jon asks me in worried tone.
"Can you come pick me up, Jon? It was a mistake coming back back today." I asked him not able to stop my crying.
"Of course, Bryan. I'm on my way." Jon explains before he hangs up.
I sit down on the hard floor of the bathroom and continue sobbing.
I hear footsteps coming into the bathroom.
It's Rockstar Freddy.
He sits next to me and places his hand on my shoulder.
"Jon's picking me up, Freddy." I simply say to him.
"I understand, Bryan." Freddy says in soft tone.
Freddy and I just sit in silence until Jon arrives.
