What's In Your Mind? (Krii7y) ✔️

Chapter 27

(John's pov)

Once I got home that day, my mother became more worried about me, even I could see how off I was.

After dinner, I walked into my room and bowsed the web, wanting something to distract me.

My mom soon walks in with that 'we need to talk look'. Oh god.

"John, sweetie, I can tell something is bothering you." She sits down next to me.

"You have no idea." I mumble.

"Wanna talk about it?" She cautiously asks me.

I debate doing this, but eventually give in.

"I did something bad." I admit.

My mom playfully rolls he eyes.

"Oh come on, whatever it was, it pebbly wasn't that bad."

I just stare at her until she reads the serious tone.

"Oh..." she whispers.

"Do you remember my friend I told you about, Jaren?"

She nods.

"Well," I start, " I really like him, and I did something that scared him really bad, and he doesn't even know it was me who did it."

"Well...what did you do?"

"I don't think I'm ready to tell you that."

"Do you feel...guilty for it?"

I reply almost immediately, "I regret it so much."

"Oh my poor baby." My mom says as she gives me a small hug. "Maybe when you tell him you did it, you'll feel better."

"I don't think I'll ever have the courage to tell him, I'm ashamed in myself."

"Don't say that, you'll get it figured out eventually, you always do, and plus, the sooner you fix it, the sooner I get to see you happy, and that is always the highlight of my day." She gives me a small smile.

I smile back, and she leaves my room.

Maybe I will end up telling Jaren, but at the same time, what would I even tell him: 'Hey remember when you got tied to a tree? Yea, that was me, sorry about that.' I'd seem like a fucking lunatic.

And I haven't even though about how Craig is dealing with this, he probably has It worse. He lost the love of his life because of me, and he probably has nobody to talk to about the whole situation. Now I know how my mom feels, someone close to her that is usually so happy, did a complete 180°. It sucks.

I decide to get up off my ass and go to help Craig out.

I say bye to my mom before leaving and start pedaling there on my bike.

Once I get there, I knock on the door and Craig's mom greets me.

"Oh hi John, what brings you here." She asks

"I wanted to talk to Craig."

She seems relieved, "Oh thank god, he's been acting like a soggy piece of bread lately and it's scaring me, do you think you could get him back to the old Craig?"

"I'll try." I tell her before I make my way to Craig's room.

I compose myself before I go onto his room

'Here goes nothing.' I think to myself.

A/N- hello! I only have a week until Christmas break thank god. I've been caroling at least 3 times in the past week, and I'm sorta excited for it to be over. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, vote if you think it's worth it! Bye!
