Joshua's Bizarre Adventure

What Have I Done..

I laid under the table hyperventilating.

"I-I'm sorry..! I- I didn't know..!"

Morris: "I HAVE TOLD YOU MANY TIMES, STAY OUT OF MY STUFF!"

I was panicking.

How did I get here? Well you know what I did.

I stole his gem thinking nothing bad would happen.

I'M SO STUPID!!!!

Morris seemed to also be panicking. I don't know why... maybe it was an heirloom.

He was frantically looking through his stash to make sure I didn't take anything else.

I kept whispering sorry over and over. I had just suffered a massive beating... probably one of the worst he's ever given me.

But somehow he looked more scared than I did. I felt bad but I was too panicked from the pain to focus on that.

I was bleeding and I couldn't move.

Morris: "Joshua Jabbard. You're GROUNDED forEVER!!!"

I just sobbed.

"Please just tell me whats wrong I'll get it back for you.."

Morris: "How? You've probably already LOST it like the idiot scum you are."

"I- I didn't.. it's.. it's with Scara.."

Morris: "Go get it back you fool."

"Fine..."

Morris: "And stand up straight."

I stopped. And snapped back around to face him.

"Know what? No. This is the way I stand. And if you don't like it? Then you can just SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH BECAUSE I DON'T CARE! WHAT IF I KEPT NAGGING YOU ABOUT STANDING LIKE A GODDAMN WEASEL!?"

He just stood there in shock. His tongue was sticking out and his eyes were all messed up.

"Um..."

I backed away slowly and then turned and ran off. I went to Scara's house.

"SCARA!!!"

Scara: "!?"

"I need... the.. the.."

I had been running so I had to catch my breath.

Scara: "...?"

"Th-the.. gem.."

Scara: "Oh.. I.. I took it to Gunther."

"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Scara: "!?"

"I desperately need it back."

Scara: "Okay.. let's go get it then I guess."

"THANK YOU THANK YOU!"

I grabbed her hand and started running to Gunther's.
