Jared's POV

"Leave and never come back! You're banned!" The manager of LUSH screamed as she shoved me out of the shop. I stumbled out into the mall hallway. My heart dropped as I realized I had nowhere to get my bathbombs from.

Sure, there were other businesses that could provide me bathbombs. But they just didn't put as much love or work into them like LUSH did. I sighed. I would have to savor my last few bathbombs.

They could be my last cronch forever!

A few weeks later

This was it. This was my last bathbomb. It was a beautiful purple shade. I inhaled the lavender scent. So perfect. So gorgeous. I let out a shaky breath and took my first cronch.

I slowly devoured the bathbomb. It would be me my last. It was still gone too soon. I was licking the dust off of my fingers and yearning for more. But there would be no more.

A few tears rolled down my cheeks. I quickly brushed them away and walked into my living room. I plopped on the couch. I glumly picked up the remote and flicked on the TV. I was on a news channel.

"And now to Nancy for the story." The main reporter told me.

"Recently teens and younger children have been trying the Tide Pod challenge. The kids actually eat the tide pods. Now the problem with this is..." She continued to talk but I tuned her out. Tide Pods?

I jumped off of the couch and ran over to my front door. I pulled on a pair of shoes and slipped on my jacket. I raced out the door, naruto running all the way to the nearest store.

I glanced up and down the aisles, looking for the familiar box of tide pods. I was just about to give up when I finally found it. I grabbed the container and sprinted up to the cash register. Once everything was payed for I calmly walked outside. But then of course I naruto ran back to my house.

I shoved open my door and went inside. I kicked off my shoes and shrugged off my jacket. I left them on the floor. Right now, I would've been eating a bathbomb. But now I would eat a tide pod. What could go wrong?

I popped the lid open and looked inside. Dozens of pods sat there, waiting for me to cronch them. I gently picked one up and examined it closely.

The swirls of color were mesmerizing. There was no scent though, and there would be no dust left behind. I would just have to make do, I guess.

I popped the tide pod into my mouth. I cronched down, gently at first, but then harder to break the packet open. All of a sudden it popped.

I quickly spat it out. It was bitter and disgusting. The now melted pod sat on the floor in a gross heap. I ran over to my sink and rinsed out my mouth. Then I whipped out my phone and called my best "family" friend.

"Hello?" Evan said.

"Hey buddy. We have a situation." I told him.

"What's w-wrong?" He asked.

"I might've eaten a tide pod." I admitted sheepishly.

"You what!" He squealed. I could hear laughing in the background.

"No fucking way! You're so fucking stupid!" Someone shouted.

"Is that school shooter I hear?" I teased.

"Jesus F-Faist Jared this i-is serious. You c-could actually die! I'm coming o-over right now. Stay were you a-are. Don't eat anymore!" Evan ordered. Even though he couldn't see me, I nodded my head and ended the call. With the bitter taste still lingering in my mouth I lounged on the couch waiting for him.

*A few minute skip. Skidaddle skidoodle*

Knock knock

I lept up from the couch and opened the door.

"Why hello there Evan. Covfefe." I greeted as the Treebros walked inside.

"Jared, get your s-shoes and c-coat on. We're going t-to the ER." Evan told me.

"I'm fine." I complained as I slipped on my shoes.

"No you're not. Seriously, we need to get you checked out by a doctor." Connor said. I was shocked by how serious he sounded. Whenever he spoke to me he always spoke in a sarcastic or teasing tone.

Jesus Faist, I screwed up bad.

I quickly slid my arms into my coat and grabbed my phone. The three of us walked out to Connor's car and we all piled in. The car ride was mostly silent. The only sounds were the light music from the radio and Evan's nervous breathing.

From the back seat, I could see Connor gently lay his hand on Evan's to calm him down. I couldn't help but melt a little at all their mushy love.

Eventually we pulled up in front of the hospital.

"Doesn't Heidi work here?" I questioned as the three of us climbed out of the car. Evan quickly grabbed Connor's hand as we walked across the parking lot.

"Y-Yeah." Evan muttered. We entered the building. Connor led is up to a nurse's station and for a clipboard full of paper work.

"This might take a little bit. Sit down." He told us as we strolled over to the hard, plastic chairs. Once the paper work was finally filled out, I was taken into another room to be examined.

Fun.

*Le time skip cuz I'm getting tired but yet I don't wanna sleep cuz sleep is 4 the weak*

"How you feeling?" Connor asked as he pulled Evan into my hospital room behind him.

"I'm feeling ok I guess. One of the nurses said they were going to keep me for a few more days. Make sure everything is ok." I whined.

"That's w-what you get for eating tide p-pods." Evan said. I nodded glumly.

Lesson learned. Never eat tide pods. Leave the cronching to bathbombs.

Seriously guys. Do not eat tide pods. You could actually die. This was not only to give you guys a laugh, but just to remind all of you. Don't eat tide pods! You're putting detergent into your mouth! Gross! Don't do it!
