"So, where do we buy squeezy candy?" Justin asks as we stroll through the store.
I roll my eyes "You literally only want me here for my squeezy candy don't you!?!"
Justin laughs "No! Well yeah, partially, but I also wanted to know more about you than those basic questions."
I shrug "The squeezy candy is down the sweet aisle, what else did you wanna know about me?"
We casually walk to the sweet aisle, I direct Justin to the squeezy candy. "Well, just little facts I guess." He shrugs.
I nod "I graduated law school. Uh...I prefer dark chocolate over any other kind of chocolate and lots of people judge me for that. I have a fear of spiders and ghosts. I love sci-fi stuff, anything to do with aliens, sign me the fuck up! I've been through depression 3 times, I don't think it'll ever leave me now, but its temporary. Most of the time I'm fine, its when I'm alone my depression finds me. I defend Kellins genitald on a daily basis thanks to a work colleague who is constantly dissing them. I hate milk, I will only possibly drink it with cereal, that's on a very good day. The only flavor of milkshake that I like is chocolate. I've been bullied throughout my life. Uh...I think that's basically it!"
Justins jaw drops and his eyes widen "You graduated law school!?! So are you, like, a lawyer?"
I nod "If I wanted to be a lawyer, I could be, but due to some drama I left that job. I used to love being a lawyer, but the drama forced me to work in my second favourite place: Hot Topic."
Justin nods slowly "Have you ever...uh..." He draws lines on his wrist.
"What do you mean?" I ask curiously. I've got a pretty good guess at what he's suggesting, but I need a definite answer.
"Y'know...cut yourself? I was just wondering, because you said you're still kind of depressed." Justin says quietly.
I nod and look down at the floor "Yes, I have, but not in over a month."
Justin suddenly pulls me into a hug. "I'm so proud of you Jenny, well done."
I close my eyes and snuggle into his jacket "Thanks man." He pulls away and we walk over to the cash register, paying for the squeezy candy ontop of other things we picked up. We make our way back to the bus, I flop on the couch in between Jack and Gabe, Nick is having a shower. Kellin strolls out of the bunk area and he signals at Justin to follow him, they go back into the bunk area together.
