Merry Christmas Baby

III

When Delphinus woke up, confusion hit him like a train. For starters he doesn't remember coming to bed, it would make sense since he was very tired, and being already that many people can do something to a person, on the other hand though.... No it doesn't make any sense.

He rolls out of bed, to take a shower, his body is coated in sweat and he feels sticky, and he can only imagine how badly he stinks. Once the water is hot enough he steps in and begins to scrub himself down.

"Next year, there will be no parties here, no people, just me.... Yeah just me" Delphinus says aloud to himself in the shower.

....

After he finished scrubbing himself he changed out of that horrendous Santa dress, and put on sweatpants and an oversized black hoodie that had the words 'Ho,Ho,Ho Bitch' written in big bold bubble letters with a blue outline around the outside of the white lettering. He flicks his hair back over his shoulders and walks out of his bedroom.

Delphinus starts to search the house for his two guests, noticing the house has been cleaned spotless, no signs of the party last night. He would have to give them props for staying up all night to make sure the house was this clean. Maybe they felt bad for making me be around all those people, or maybe it was the karaoke and the dress they felt bad about.... Shaking his head, Delphinus swears to himself that they will be thanked.

A 'ding' sounds off, causing Delphinus to take his phone out of his pocket. A text that read

'Hey Delphinus, I went ahead and scheduled us another session so we could talk about last's night party, hope you don't mind, I'll see you at 3 o'clock sharp'

Delphinus did not want to see his therapist again this soon.... Sighing, he went to throw some shoes on and get ready, for this session in hell.

Delphinus sighed for what felt like the thousandth time, sitting in a chair in his therapist's office.

"Nothing? You learned nothing from that Christmas party?" His therapist's voice sounded strained. She could not believe what she was hearing, what kind of menace feels nothing at his party... sure it wasn't a party that he wanted to be thrown in the first place, but to say you feel emotionless.... It made her wonder if it was just apathy from the trauma, or if he is some sort of sociopath.

"None at all, but get this.... When I woke up in my bedroom..." Delphinus pauses, that was another thing he had to tell her...

"When I woke up I was in my bedroom, I didn't have enough to drink to be drunk, so I don't remember passing out, but I also don't remember getting myself up the stairs into my bedroom, and while it's plausible that someone carried me, Cielo, and Kristine were both passed out drunk on my couch, and everyone else was made to leave at a certain time, and I know for sure fact I'm not crazy. It's still strange however. The even stranger part was that the entire house was spotless, and I know for a fact those two idiots, did not clean the house over night and then disappear..... what do you think?" Delphinus asks his therapists thoughts on the information presented.

She was having a hard time not telling him she thinks he suffered from apathy, and had high anxiety, which should result in him taking some kind of medication but she didn't. She would save that for the very end, where hopefully he would listen and see reason.

"It seems like you were so exhausted from last night, that you don't remember carrying yourself to bed, and while we are on the topic might I suggest-" Delphinus blurts out "Do you believe in the supernatural?" Cutting her off mid sentence. Her eyes grow slightly wide, as she lets the question sinks in. He was onto her, he had to be, none of her other patients even come close to asking such a question, she had to play this off nonchalantly, if she didn't want to raise suspicion.
