What If...

-Chapter 7- Not a lot of fun

Bartholomue slowly got out of bed, suspiciously slowly. Caoimhe looked at him confused. "Bartholomue, are you okay?" She asked, confused and concerned. "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Just feel a bit tired." He replied, going to the bathroom.

Bartholomue turns on the sink, making sure it's on the coldest setting and splashes his face with it. He looked at himself in the mirror. 'Was that all a dream?' Bartholomue thought. He didn't believe that everything that happend, was a dream. He jumps and leaves his thoughts as a knock on his bathroom door is heard. "Bartholomue  honey, are you okay?" The voice that was his 'Girlfriend' asked.
"Yes!" He said, he turns around looks at her, and smiles. He studies her for a second until he realises who it was. It was, the Lorax. He chokes on his spit as he looks at her, causing him to cough intensely.

"Are you positive?" She asks, reaching out to touch his face. "Yes I'm sure!" He says grabbing her arm and moves it back to her side. "Where's Caoimhe gone?" He asks. "Pretty sure she went down stairs to Emily and Nat. I know Alannahs on her way." She replied. "Excuse me." He says leaving the bathroom to go downstairs. "Nat!" He calls out, running down the stairs and seeing Emily, Nat, and Caoimhe all sitting down on the couch.

"Bartholomue, are you okay?" Nat asks, turning her head to face him. "I need to talk to you, privately." Bartholomue tells Nat. Nat stands up and walks towards the bathroom, signalling Bartholomue to follow.

Once they are both in the bathroom, Caoimhe and Emily look at eachother. "Do you want to make out?" Caoimhe asks. "Yeah sure." Emily responds.

"I'm losing my mind here." Bartholomue told Nat, leaning against the wall of the bathroom. "What's wrong?" Nat asks. "I think I have a crush Alannah." "What."

Nat was not expecting those words, yesterday The Lorax and Bartholomue were so in love, but now he has a crush on Alannah. "I had a dream that me and Alannah got together, and I was upset when I was woken up and was surprised that I was with The Lorax." He tells her, tossing his head back and sighing heavily. "Oh my god." Nat was in pure shock, everything did not make sense, one dream changes how he feels about one person. "How are you going to tell The Lorax?" Nat asks.

"I don't know." Bartholomue says, clearly stressed about the situation. Ding dong. The bell rang, and a familiar voice entered the house. It was Alannah's.

"It's so windy today, messed up my luscious locks." Alannah says, chuckling as she talked to The Lorax. Bartholomue's heart started to race, the mere sound of her voice made him yearn for her, to touch her, to love her. His mind was filled with the dream, the beautiful dream that fulfilled his fantasies. Oh how he wanted to run out of the bathroom him and Nat stood in, and to kiss her. But he can't, he has a different girlfriend.

"I'm going to go out to her, come out when you're ready." Nat says, exiting the bathroom and greeting Alannah.

There was no point on trying to deny it, Bartholomue was in love with Alannananananananananana BATMAN Duffalicious.

After about five minutes, Bartholomue exited the bathroom and came face to face with Alannah. "Oh, Hi Bartholomue, was starting to think you'd stay there all day." She teased him and flashed a sweet smile. That smile made him melt, that smile drove him wild.

"I– uh.. I had explosive diarrhea." He lies awkwardly, scratching the back of his neck and averting her eye contact. Nat snickered at the dumb excuse, what a lie!

"Didn't need to know that, but alright!" Alannah says and walks towards the kitchen to get a glass of water. Bartholomue's heart was racing, that couldn't have gone any worse. He turns and walks towards The Lorax and wraps and arm around her waist.

"We gotta talk later." He whispers to her, gently kissing her neck. The Lorax looked at him, a mix of worry and confusion in her eyes.

*^the most beatiful time skip known to man.^*

"The Lorax, you know I love you." Bartholomue says, as they sit on their shared bed. "But I think we should go our separate ways."

The Lorax smiles and shrugs. "Okay!" She says happily. Bartholomue looks at her eith confusion, she was happy? "I've been going out with Caoimhe anyway so."

What a plot twist..
