I am... So sorry! This is coming out so late and I didn't even warn you guys... 😖 Uhh, yeah, school has started for me, it's been two weeks since my first day of school, so I barely had time to write, which is why I'm so behind schedule... A bit more info in the author's note about the updates for this book. Also, this chapter is probably so awful, I rushed it... Anyways...
The next morning, Eli's room...
Eli: *wakes up in his bed and yawns*
Eli: Was that all a dream? That means Hastur still loves me!
Eli: *cheerily gets out of bed, puts on some slippers and goes to Hastur's room*
Eli: Hastuuur! I'm so glad that was all a terrible nightmare! I don't know what I would do without-
Hastur: Why are you here, Eli? I told you I wanted you to stay away from me...
Eli: Huh? Wha- What are you talking about?
Hastur: I told you last night... We agreed on taking a break...
Eli: So that wasn't a dream?
Hastur: No...? Please just leave, Eli...
Eli: Oh- Yeah, okay... I respect your decision...
Eli: *feeling glum, shuffles out of Hastur's room and gently closes the door, so he doesn't agitate Hastur anymore*
Eli: Not a dream then... But, why did I wake up in my bed? Huh?
Luca and Victor: *walk past*
Luca: Oh, Eli! Andrew said that Aesop said that they're in the garage, if you're looking for them!
Eli: Oh okay, thanks!
Luca and Victor: *walk away, Luca's hand grabbing Victor's booty*
Eli: Maybe I should go see them and find out what happened...
Eli: *goes to the garage, still upset*
Eli: Hello? Aesop? Andre- Oh-
Aesop: *washing his car*
Aesop: Good morning, Eli.
Eli: Ah- Yes, good morning... Is Andrew here?
Andrew: *pops up from behind the car, holding a sponge*
Andrew: Yep! I'm over here!
Eli: I see... What are you two doing?
Aesop: Cleaning my baby.
Eli: Baby?
Andrew: He means his car. Onii Chan and his poetic speech...
Aesop: It's not poetic...
Andrew: Okay, Nii San, no Shakespeare for me please.
Aesop: It's not Shakespeare eith-
Andrew: WASHING! I'm washing the car!
