1 + 9 = 10 | Book i (MJ Eras)

Dangerous

I get up after HIStory kicked me in the damn dick and try to beat the hell out of him when Invincible stops me and drags me into the house. We go into the living room. I sit down on the sofa.

"You, stay here, you can watch TV or whatever, but stay here. I'm going to get you some ice." Invincible says like I'm a toddler.

"Fine by me," I say picking up the TV remote and resting my feet on the chair's arm rest.

I hope Chloe's okay... I thought as I channel surfed. I kept channel surfing until... Aha! I found it! The Simpsons. The PTA Disbands is playing. I relax myself as I watch. (I don't remember if that episode was created during the Dangerous era, I'm think it was 1995, and this is 1992 Dangerous era, so... Just pretend lol)

A few minutes later, Invincible comes into the room and hands me an ice pack. I put it up to my eye. I flinch and quickly remove it. "Ah, damn it!" I curse.

"Keep it on," Invincible says sitting on a chair next to me.

I scoff and put it back up

"Why'd you punch him?" he asks out of blue.

"Because," I say shortly, focusing on the TV.

"'Because,' isn't a good reason for you to punch him." he scolds me.

"You're not my dad, you can't tell me what's good or bad. You're only 9 years older than me!" I say with a pout.

"It doesn't matter whether I'm your dad or not. What matters is why you punched him. Remember, violence is never the answer." he says with his eyes the TV.

"At least I was hurting myself,"

"You were still hurting someone."

"Why are you making me feel so guilty? It's his fault that Chloe's in the hospital right now!" I say defensively.

"It's no ones fault." Invincible says.

"Argh, why do you have to make me feel worse about what I did?" I ask him.

"Because," he says.

"'Because,' isn't a good reason'" I mock him.

"See? You're learning!" he says almost overzealously. I laugh a bit. "But seriously, you have to apologize to HIStory, he tried to apologize to you earlier, but you just ended up punching him again." he say seriously.

"Fine," I say before getting up from my seat, turning off the TV, then heading out with Invincible.

We head over to the kitchen where we spot This Is It and HIStory. HIStory glares daggers through me. I glare bullets back at him. If looks could kill, him and I would both be dead.

"We'll be going," This Is It says.

"Please don't start another fight," Invincible pleads.

I nod and turn back to HIStory. I quit my angry stare.

"Look HIStory, I'm really sorry for blaming you, and for kinda making you look like Barney." I say sincerely.

His eyes suddenly soften as he looks around. 

"Well, uh... I'll only forgive you, if you forgive me." he says looking away from me. 

"I forgive you," I say.

"Then, well... I forgive you, too." he says. "Shall we hug it out?"

"Sure," I say as we hug. "Haha, I still find it so weird that I'm hugging myself..." I say.

We release eachother. "Well, yeah same. It's weird hugging myself without wrapping my actual arms around myself... if that makes any sense." he laughs.
