END OF FLASHBACK

3rd POV

Timmy sat on the boulder for quite some time. He has some tears trickling down his cheeks. The memory plays rent-free in his head whenever he feels lonely. No matter what time or place he's in. Although his doubts say otherwise, they still give him tranquillity. Timmy shook his head, waking himself back to reality. He looked down at his wrist, some l of the blood seemed to have dried up, but it was still sore.

     'I need to get outta here' was the first thing Timmy thought, he carefully stood up and dusted his jeans. He looked around, trying to see if he could pull himself out of this predicament. He wasn't in the right of mind and he didn't want to come face to face with anyone at the moment. He pulled out his communicator to check the time. Only 7 minutes have passed. Time moves so slowly when you're suffering. Timmy shoved the communicator back into his pocket and looked up, trying to see if he could climb his way up. But just like the broken bottle that was sticking out of the ground, many other dangerous shards and metal pieces were scattered about the ocean floor.

"How the hell do I get out of here.." Timmy questioned, looking at every object as an obstacle. This looked like a parkour match, next level..

Timmy tried nonetheless. He put his foot against the rough terrain and then pushed himself up. He took one step at a time. He managed to get a good distance up and away from the boulder. Suddenly, his foot slipped, and before he even allowed himself to kiss his death he grabbed onto anything he could reach. Unfortunately, he grabbed onto the same broken bottle. He yelled in pain, tears streamed down his face as his fingers were forced to grip onto the broken glass. Somehow, the broken glass bottle held his weight.

Timmy's jaw was agape as he felt like his fingers were burning. He felt more tears falling down his face the longer he held on. He was at war with himself, whether to release or hold on. Just when he was about to let go, a pair of hands grabbed Timmy from behind him and pulled him up from the ditch. Timmy rolled onto the flat surface, feeling relieved he was safe and not rolling down the ditch again.

     "I got him, Fenton!" A pair of hands held Timmy for comfort as Jimmy called to the older teen. Two shadows hovered over him, confirming that his guardians were present. Timmy breathed heavily, and the same pain and pleasure started to seep into his hands again. "..no-" He grumbled as he gripped his fingers into a fist, in an attempt to override the sense of pleasure with the pain. Jimmy caught sight of the attempt and grabbed his right wrist "Stop, that's the least smart way to stop blood flow." Jimmy stated firmly as he opened Timmy's palms again and inspected them.

     Danny was by his side looking at the huge slice on Timmy's left wrist, worriedly pacing next to him before Jimmy gave a nod that indicated that no intense harm was inflicted. Jimmy looked back at the slice of the left wrist, "How did you get this?" gently gracing his finger on the dry blood making Timmy flinch badly. "Got it while I was falling. Relax, jeez." Timmy rolled his eyes in annoyance and he got up and dusted himself. Jimmy joined in too. Jimmy lets out a long sigh, "You think this is a minor injury? Sure, it's not as bad as a stab wound in your book but it's still something I need to look at." Jimmy stated firmly as he watched Timmy turn his back on him and Danny. "Fenton and I were worried about you." Jimmy tried again with a softer tone.

     They heard a breathy laugh from Timmy making the other two teens flinch. "Worried? You were worried? Right. I bet you were." Timmy had sarcasm drooling over his words. His tone was unwillingly offensive and harsh. "Listen. I don't need you to worry about me. We have bigger things to worry about." Timmy stated as he finally turned to face his friends. His eyes stared at the other two in pain, daring them to push it further. "Sport, this has gone long enough." The screechy voice of Wanda calls out firmly. Of course, she dared to. "Sport, you're not well. Look at yourself." Wanda says as she floats beside her godchild with a hand on his shoulder. "Timmy, you haven't been well for a while..." Cozmo added which altered the expressions of the other two teens slightly.

"What does that mean?" Danny comes forth with concern lacing his every word. Before Cozmo could speak, Timmy yelled "Nothing! It has nothing to do with you or you." he stated firmly as he glared at each of them. The build-up of Timmy's rage was getting too suspicious for both Danny and Jimmy. Danny started coming to the worse conclusions. Wanda and Cozmo seemed too uncomfortable. Like they've said something they shouldn't have. Something that should've stayed in the dark and never spoken about. "There's something.." Danny says as he too glared at Timmy, his eyes glowing lime green to add more to the intimidation. Timmy knew he was testing his luck right now, "And if there was, I wouldn't tell you shit." he spat before walking away. He bumped Cozmo out of his was then disappeared around the corner.

Wanda looked worriedly at Cozmo who returned the gaze. Jimmy looked at where Timmy walked off to. His behaviour is turning more irrational by the minute. He glanced at the ghost boy who only gave a knowing gaze back. They both turned to the couple. "You have more insight as to why he's acting this way don't you?" Jimmy wasted no time asking the couple about it. "Of course we do. We're his guardians." Wanda stated. "Then, tell us. What's up with him." Danny's tone sounded more like a commandment.

Wanda and Cozmo exchanged a look of worry. "It's best you hear it from him," Wanda said as she raised her wand, intending to poof away. Jimmy grabbed the hand that held Wanda's wand and pushed the wand down, "No! This won't resolve unless you tell us what's going on with him!" he argued. Wanda's expression suddenly turned to anger. Her hand grabbed Jimmy by his shirt and pulled him close, making him float above the ground slightly. "You wanna know so badly?" She bellowed. Cozmo seemed to have moved a small distance away from Wanda, he looked worried for her.

Jimmy was at a loss for words as Wanda raised her wand, magic sparking from it, "I'll show you.". With a flick of her wand, magic swarmed around them. The four were surrounded by clouds and sparkles of magic and like a tornado, the magic pulled them into the clouds of sparkles and disappeared.
