We were out with Peter having lunch together when I got a call from Dexter."I'm going back to school for tonight's party.Are you coming?"I chuckled."No I'm not coming to the party.But tell Silver everything.I don't want her bugging me."He laughed."Sent a pic!Please.I want to have a before version before I beat the shit out of him if necessary."I scoffed."Funny.I will.Love you."He chuckled."Love you too."Then he hung up."Who was that?"I put my phone in my bag."My best friend.He's going back to school for the annual Christmas party in the school.But I'm no going."He chuckled."Good."

After a little more time we went back to Baron's place with shopping bags all over us."Ugh!You can put them over there."Peter dropped them all on the floor."How many people do you send gifts to?"Then he pointed the pile of gifts that came for me."Oh...those are mine."I checked a few name tags."My grandparents.My great-uncle and his wife.My cousin Alex.The his parents.My club friends from school.Then my bedroom friends from the club tower.Classmates.My best friend and his parents.I have a lot of people here."

"Doesn't it bother you that you have a pile of gifts?I don't like them.I hate them.That's why I don't recieve one.I send one but I don't recieve any."I rolled my eyes."Let people show you that they care."I need to listen to my own advice sometimes.Hell all the time."Maybe.I'm gonna go change."I nodded and I changed too.Then I saw a letter trying to get in through the window."Hold on.Come here."I snatched the letter.No name.I opened the letter and there wasn't a letter.There was a ring.And weirdly it was matching Ralph's bracelet.

There was no note.But I am highly convinced that this is all Ralph.Then I took the ring to wear it and I felt like I was being hit by firebolts over and over again.I dropped it on the floor out of pain and I just tried to breathe again.A few minutes later when I was back in control I picked up the ring and wore."Is it what I think it is?"I concantrated on the day that I took his father down.Then a pain around m neck appeared and it got harder to breathe every second."It is what I think it is."Then I changed and went to the living room where everybody was.

"Took you long enough."I rolled my eyes and sat between Baron and Patrick.Baron got me under his arm and squeezed me until I died."Can you let me go now?"He messed up my hair and let me breathe."Thanks.""You're welcome little weirdo."Peter came a little after."So how did you guys meet with Baron?Isn't he like...6 years older than you?"I nodded."Weird story Patrick.But I will tell you in the sake of Christmas."I looked around and started.

"It was elemental football practice and I was looking for someone to watch me over while I tried to turn into a flame.It was really hard and for months we met up at the big tower.He watched me over in case something happens to me and reverse it.We bonded.We became friends and eventually he started looking out for me more than a friend and we became spiritual sibling if that makes sense to you guys."

"Oh and whenever I mess up her hair if we're not in public she turns into a dog and says 'if you're going to do it,do it properly' and I walk away."I rolled my eyes then I turned into a dog."So you hate me?"He shook his head."No I don't."I turned back to my human form."You really like this transfiguration.Maybe you can be a tranfiguration teacher."I chuckled."I also kinda defended my whole bloodline in front of a big fat old guy who led the debate of my entire family's future and position in the community so my grandpa thinks I should be a lawyer.There is also that posibilty."They all got all serious."That's not very common honey.Which headquarters?""Bahamas headquarters."

"Baron you are making great friends."Then Baron messed up my hair."Maybe you'll even come and work at the Paris headquarters with me."I turned at him."Maybe I will once you get rid of her."He understood."For the last time she is not my girlfriend!One date.Didn't like her.She just couldn't let me go.I didn't know she was going to come over that night."I rolled my eyes."Sure you didn't champ.Sure you didn't."I got up."I'm going to make some coffee.And no I'm not making you one Baron."He rolled his eyes and I left.

While I was making coffee Peter came."So what do you really wanna be?A teacher?A lawyer?Or do you have something in mind?You have something in your mind."I chuckled."I-I actually do.But it's a bit personal so do you mind if I don't tell you?"He shook his head."If you kiss me I won't."I rolled my eyes then kissed his cheek."I was waiting for somewhere else."I kissed the tip of his nose."Nope."I rolled my eyes."Well this is all you get.Sorry."I was pouring the coffee when I heard yelling and ran inside with Peter."ARE YOU ON DRUGS BARON?!"His mother was holding my pills in her hand."I did not raise you to be like this!"

"Mom I don't know where they even came from.They're not mine!"They were fighting and I had to do something to make this all better."THEY'RE MINE!"They all turned to me and it was dead silent.Baron grabbed the pills from his mom and then dragged me to my room.He slammed the door so hard I was actually afraid for the first time."What's the meaning of this?"

"I'm sorry.I am so sorry Baron."I sat on my bed.He took a deep breath and sat next to me."Why didn't you tell me?"I sighed."Because!Only Alex,my therapist and Ralph knows!I don't want people knowing that I am losing every bit of control I have over myself!It's emberassing Baron!I am so emberassed that I need medication to be in line.To be in control!"He got up."Ralph?Ralph Fern?The guy who hates you more than anyone?!"I nodded."It's not like I told him myself!"I got up.

"We were in Bahamas and I lost it.He heard me talking to my therapist.I don't know how much he heard but he heard enough to know I am back on my medications!"He sighed.He looked at my pills."Back?This is not the first time?"I shook my head."I'M sorry.But you have to understand I was emberassed!I still can't make myself believe that this is what I need.I'm emberassed.I tried going off of them.And it worked out well.Until Ralph and his father came into my life.Until my dad rejected me!I had to get back on them.I'm sorry I didn't tell you."

He hugged me tight."Shh...I'm sorry I yelled.It isn't making it easier for you."Then I just cried.And cried.And cried.
