May I request some fluff with Alhaitham and an overworked and stressed reader who just won't put the book down due to an upcoming exam 😔đŸ’ȘđŸ» + they are struggling with motivation to study but they just NEED to study now or they'll fail or get a low grade
OF COURSE!! Thank you for requesting !! Also I’m assuming you have an exam so wishing you good luck
Alhaitham x Stressed Reader
WARNINGS: none aside from cursing, This is all fluff
CHARACTERS: Alhaitham, (im gonna write this as if alhaitham and reader are still in college btw !! Both of you are dating in this AU and dormmates too)
Okay I’m gonna write headcanons and then a mini oneshot after <3
please tell me if I accidentally mischaracterized him I’m really sorry in advance if I do 😔
Alhaitham would be telling you the entire afternoon that day to drink water, eat a snack and most importantly, take a break
Alhaitham would be stubborn at these times and making SURE that you are drinking water and taking care of yourself and all
Alhaitham practically tries to pull you away from your desk, but he fails. Instead just trying to keep having a conversation as an attempt to get you to get away from your studies, even if just for a minute
Alhaitham trĂ­es to wait for you, but you insist he goes to bed ahead. He still tries to wait, while he lays down alone, clearly worried about you though having the same expression.
Alhaitham gets out of bed every once in awhile to check if you’re done, but everyte he does, he just receives the same response. “5 more minutes
”
Eventually he just stays in bed slightly frustrated and Alhaitham falls asleep waiting, that is, until he hears your frustrated mumbles from your desk.
“Damn it damn it! Why can’t I get it!”
You mumbled softly to yourself. No matter how many hours of hard work you’ve done today, you can’t seem to process any of the information.
“Fuck!”
You buried your head in your arms in frustration, clenching your fist tightly. As suddenly you felt someone trying to unclench it for you.
You flinched once you felt the touch, but once you turned, you saw your boyfriend alhaitham.
“It’s 1:07
 you should be having some rest.”
He says, starting to put away your books.
“Nono! Just 5-“
“5 more minutes? Darling it’s been 5 hours. Please rest.”
He starts to pull you out of your chair, but you’re stubborn. You say no once more in a slightly pissed tone due to overworking the entire day.
“Y/n. Im serious.”
“I am too
 just please
”
He saw the desperation in your eyes, but instead he pulled you into a hug, as you hurried your face into his shoulder.
“Look, the exam is in a few days correct?”
You nod
“And how much material have you gone through?”
“I don’t know”
“And you’re only starting to study now? Why?”
“I didn’t have motivation all week..I couldn’t bring myself to do it..”
You started getting ready for a scolding, but instead ended up with a kiss on your forehead.
“You ran out of motivation all week and so now that you have it, you don’t want to lose it, correct?”
You nod. As your boyfriend sighs.
“And do you remember anything you’ve been studying?”
To your shame, you shook your head.
“No..”
Alhaitham pulls away from the hug as he cups your cheek.
“Let’s have a deal, you get some rest today and I’ll study and teach you the topics myself tomorrow morning, deal?”
“But-“
“No buts, would you rather you passed out unwillingly or this?”
“
”
“That’s right, thought so.”
He pulled you into the bed, as he layed you down next to him.
“Please don’t do this again..if you need motivation then..I’ll help you, I’ll do whatever just take care of yourself please.”
He kissed your cheek goodnight as both of you slept in each others arms.
Alhaitham teaches you the topics the next day and you understand it. He tells you some study tips and motivation tips like:
Make flash cards and review them before the exam
Re-type it, NO copy pasting
Reading the text aloud to someone else
Quiz yourself and your friends <3
You can also make reviewers for you and your friends to motivate you to keep giving them some
Alhaitham will be happy and proud of u <3 good luck on your exams !! (These tips are my personal study tips that got me through the school year HAHAHAHAH, they work for me at least. Good luck again !!)

Umm.. M- May elaborate this HC in here? I'd like to explain a bit more why both of them are still on school while being a fucking Disaster over there, and the school hasn't expelled them yet. Like, they can cheat and study, but they can't predict the surprise exams and what subjects will it be. Or what sub subjects will be used for it.
Like, let's put it this way. They're both geniuses. They don't need to study further than read their notes from the class 'cause they'll remember what they have seen on class, yet when they weren't in class, due to some mid day mission, being sick, or smth, they'll just ask for a few pics of the class in specific parts and they'll just do a quick research to be at day and not delayed. Most of the work is Leon's because 'Tello wants to keep on his projects. And Leon doesn't deny it because he both, love to be with his twin, and can use it for favors or early privileges (HUGS, HUGS, HUGS!!!).
Now, as for why the school haven't expelled them yet. Like, yeah, they're smart, they can keep on track on they grades when it's scheduled, and that helps them when they're on detention, but, what about surprise exams grades? If they fail those, they can be expelled for problematic and chaotic behaviors, bad grades, and public damage (like the explosion on the post I commented). But school can't add the grades one because, these fuckers won't fail for a single point.
Their lowest grade on those exams is of a damn B+++, and their highest is A+++.
They don't need to study much more than a few glasses, and not only that, Leon makes sure that at least twice at month they BOTH give it a quick look at their notes and books to be sure there's nothing missing. And from those quick check, two days later there's a surprise exam with a lot of tricky questions. So, 'Tello always looks at Leon with: *How the fuck did you know?!* Eyes before starting the exams, as Leon just responses with a: "I told you so~" glare.
Their teachers hate that. Specially Story Teacher. Both of the Twins are slept on his class, and when he asks something out of the daily summaries, they answer: "Tricky, we haven't got that far yet, and even so, that wasn't even a possibility back then due to..." and such.
Anyway, sorry for this long ask, I just wanted to take it out of my system. Bye.
No no these bring me such joy 😭, I do rlly like the idea that the school wants to kick them out on the premise of bad grades but just fucking CANT, the mfs won't let it happen
Though I do think that the only reason they wouldn't of expelled them for those OTHER reasons (property damage, bad behaviour etc.) is because they literally can't find evidence, big explosion? What a coincidence the camera has no footage from that time! A fight?? Weird only the students say it happened (he blackmails all the teachers) He just has a bunch of fail-safes everywhere and they can never catch him up on it
And i also think if mikey/raph came to school as well the teachers would see that last name and weep (they have ptsd from the twins)

hi I think I may have to kill myself I'm in college but during my second year I got so depressed I failed like half my classes of that semester and now it may take me longer to graduate because my uni won't let me retake the classes regularly. I fucked up my life and it wasn't even on purpose I was just depressed out of my mind like my brain was in a black hole. my friends graduate soon and they'll go abroad for their masters (which was what I'd planned as well) and I'll be alone. Im genuinely sitting here thinking about ending it, not even in a sad way but just logically it makes sense to end it. I'm sorry for dumping this here but I felt like you'd understand as a fellow depressed university girl studying something she doesn't like
babe oh my god no it doesn't make sense to end it all it is absolutely not what you should do
yes i understand perfectly what you're saying! i am in my 18238 year of university because of how i've been depressed and unable to keep up with my classes and exams and every single friend i had made in university has now graduated and i don't even know what they're up to anymore
and obviously i hate it and i definitely haven't gotten over it and i joke a lot about killing myself because but i won't do it because i know i shouldn't!!!
THINGS WILL GET BETTER FOR YOU it might take some time but you will find your way. university is so difficult and complicated and i know it's so hard when it seems like everyone is just breezing through it but i can absolutely assure you that you're not alone and that lots and lots of people everywhere feel exactly like you do! i know i do for sure!!!
you're not alone and you're welcome to vent to me whenever you want and please know your feelings about this are absolutely shared by so many other depressed uni students but also and i'm begging you do not think this is a reason to end it all your life is just starting and you have so much time to finish university and in time this messy time period will make sense too!!!
please reach out to the people in your life and talk to them and consider talking to a specialist like i know having therapy has helped me a lot with understanding why this has happened to me but also realizing that it will all be okay in the end even if it doesn't feel like it
everyone is rooting for you this i can promise you and i love you and i want you to be patient and then one day be able to enjoy the wonderful peaceful life you will be able to build for yourself
PLEASE do not think that killing yourself is the answer because it is not. believe me i know it is so painful but you have to push through and everything will be okay i promise you

The end / La fin
The end
“I have to warn you,” said the nurse. “Your grandfather is going senile. You have to be patient with him, even if he tells you things that may seem strange to you.” “What about his exams?” “During his coma we discovered generalized cancer ... I'm sorry”
She led him to her room and nodded “Stay strong”
He watched the nurse walk away and entered. His grandfather was preparing his luggage. “But what are you doing?” asked the young man. The old man sighed “You don't say hello anymore?” “Excuse me... Hello
 Do you really think they'll let you out?” “Of course, since you're going to help me.” “No, no, no don't even think about it!” “I did a lot more than think about it Kevin! By the way, do you know why your parents gave you a first name straight out of a stupid sitcom? You never wanted to sue against them?”
Kevin looked at his feet.
“Well I bet they don't know why they gave you that name either!” He added. “We are both different. We never knew what we were doing there. I can see how you've been behaving since you were a young boy. We always look lost. We don’t know what we want to do because society doesn’t offer us anything suitable for us, right? The truth is we are not really lost and failed, we do not see things like the others, that is all. So we have to act differently.”
His grandfather had always been eccentric. His words had hit the mark but Kevin still had too much inner resistance. “But there is only one here that you can be healed ...” “You would really make a poor comedian. You are not even convinced yourself by what you say. I know I have a cancer. And what will happen? I'll tell you: treatments that will turn me into a vegetable and in the end I will end up in palliative care with morphine. Is that how you see my end too?” “Nonsense!” “Help me get out of here, I don't want to die here, I want to see the sun set behind the mountains and over the ocean one last time. Is that too much to ask? These are my last wishes, I'll give you a waiver if I have to!” “I dont know” “How that you do not know? Well it's time for you to find out. I have a couple more things to do before the end. I'm not asking you much in the end, just to come with me. I inquired, it's just missing a signature. Your parents don't want to, they haven't even come to see me. Nobody cares. Everyone except you Kevin.”
Kevin looked out the window and sighed “Okay...” “Good boy!”
They walked down the hall. Kevin signed the waiver and picked up a bag of medicine and painkillers. Inside there was also a leaflet indicating the location of the area's hospitals, emergency services, morgues and funeral directors. His grandfather was waiting for him outside, his gaze raised to the sky, eyes closed. The wind caressed her face. Kevin didn't dare disturb him and went to get the car. He put the bag in the back and came up to him. It’s true that his grandfather had looked weird for some time. Perhaps because he sense death near. Kevin was lost in his thoughts and jumped when his grandfather slammed the door.
“Here we go!” “Which way ?” “Westward Ho!” “And where will we sleep?” “In fact, I must tell you my project. I bought a van to make the trip to California. I also plan to visit a few national parks on the way.”
He pointed to the horizon. “It’s waiting for me a little further in a garage. I've been preparing for a long time, since the death of your grandmother to be honest. Little by little, I set up this van myself. There are only the essentials on board plus a few memories, records and books ... And then there was my car crash and during the coma they discovered a cancer. That’s what made me decide to sell the house and get rid of the useless. This van will accompany me until the end from now on.” “You mean ... until ...” “Death, yes. Does the word scare you? Often people are afraid even of the word, as if it brings bad luck. Isn't that weird? For me this is a sign that our society is sick. In fact, it is society that makes us sick. But don't worry about me. I'm sure now that there isn't really any death, at least not in the way you mean it.” “What do you mean?” “When I came out of the coma I felt like I came back to life. However, I also lived during my coma and I continued to exist despite everything. The only thing that had disappeared during my coma was my awakened consciousness. But my deep conscience, I don't know what to call it, was still there. It's like a light bulb that you turn on or off. Whatever its state, the bulb is still there, unchanging, only the rest is changing. This is what makes me weird to people I'm trying to explain this to. Who’s right ? who's wrong ? I don't care and I'm not trying to convince anyone. I'm just asking for my freedom and I'm not hurting anyone.” “Alright ... I'll help you as long as it takes” “Thank you Kevin, I knew I could trust you”
Then they drove for many kilometers without speaking to each other. Kevin watched the scenery go by, like his certainties. The day was drawing to a close when they arrived at the garage. There was an old school bus repainted in blue parked. “There it is, park next and wait for me, I'll get the keys at the office.”
He returned with a young Indian man. “Joe was looking for a taxi to get to a reserve. As it is our direction, I offered to drop it off in passing. If we drive all night taking turns, we'll be there tomorrow morning.”
At the first light of dawn the bus stopped. Kevin saw his grandfather leaning over the steering wheel. “Is there something wrong” KĂ©vin said. “It's just a crisis. Pass me the painkiller bag.”
KĂ©vin turned pale. “Damn, I left it in the car” “Give me some whiskey instead, that'll do.”
The young Indian watched Kevin empty the cupboards one after the other while the old man was curled up on the floor. He walked over to him and took out a small vial. “Take this. They are plants of the desert, useful for communicating with the Great Spirit but they also relieve pain.”
Kevin returned with an amber bottle, incredulous. “Help me get him outside, you have to be in the open air. We must not lock up spirits” Joe said
Outside there was a group of stacked rocks. The slant of the sunrise made it look like a fantastic creature. Also, the rocks at the base looked like a door. “Strange, really strange to have precisely stopped here. It's a sign” The young Indian man said. “Why?” “It is a sacred place. This door leads to an ancient lake
 How is your grandfather?” “He is
”
Kevin looked to the right and to the left but he saw no one. Suddenly the beginning of The End resonated. Kevin then saw his grandfather. The old man was walking into the desert. “You okay?” Kevin shouted.
This is the end
Beautiful friend
Joe took a sip from the vial and handed it to Kevin. “Grandpa John has already started the journey” He said.
Kevin hesitated and drank in his turn. After a while the shapes became unstable. The rocks looked like mirages, rippling in the orange-red light. Their heads were on fire. Their conscience 

So limitless and free
Slowly roamed the world, their fears, their follies ...
In a
 desperate land
Walk, move forward, go through the door 

To the lake, the ancient lake
From there, the road looked like a snake ...
The snake is long, seven miles
A voice said ...
Get here, and we’ll do the rest
Everything was mixed, the blue bus seemed to float ...
Driver, where’re you takin’us
To a place located at the edge of our memory, to confront ancient and obscure desires and uproot even the slightest root of the ego ...
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,
And then...
This is the end
This is liberation ...
The end of nights we tried to die
Geometric figures went by. It was as if they were sucked into a tunnel, once in a while coming across a familiar face, an animal. The light became blinding. The sun was already high when they came to their senses. It was a new day, a renewal, a rebirth. Kevin opened his eyes. He was on top of the rock. He looked around for his grandfather and saw him on the roof of the blue bus. The young Indian was in the back. He motioned to him through the window. The men gathered at the entrance of the bus. They were silent. It was the young Indian who broke the silence. “My reserve is there.” “Did you see him in a vision?” “No on google maps”.
They laughed for a long time, as if to delay the moment to say goodbye.
“Where are you going now?” Joe said. “We will pass through the Great Smoky Mountains and then continue west to California and the ocean” “We might end up on the road.” “Maybe ... have a good trip!”
The young Indian man went off with his backpack. He thought of the Great Spirit. If He wanted to, their roads would cross again.
John and Kevin watched him go. It was then that the old man saw the half-empty vial lying on the dashboard. John took it and stowed it discreetly in the glove compartment. “Hope we see him again. I don't know what was in his mixture but I don't remember ever having experienced something like this.” John said as he starts up. “Did you see the same as me?” “With the tunnel at the end and everything, yeah. It was really crazy stuff.” “But how come we had a similar experience?” “I think we went through a trance” “How can you be so sure?”
“When I found out that I had cancer I did some research and found that a study was underway to assess the therapeutic effects of trance. Neuropsychologists have revealed that a trance is a special state of the brain and that it takes different stages to get there. These steps are universal because they are an integral part of the human nervous system. Only the meanings attributed to everything we see during trance are conditioned by our culture.” John said
“And in this study they make people take drugs?”
“Not at all. They use sound loops based on the sounds of drums and chanting chants. Everyone has access to these altered states of consciousness. That night I really felt a powerful connection with you and Joe, with nature, with the world.”
“I don't know what to think about it yet. It’s so confusing.”
“It's normal Kevin. It was only when I knew I was going to die that I started to see things differently and all of my certainties collapsed. I felt like I was moving around a setting, nothing looked real. I then focused on the one thing that seemed fixed to me when everything around everything was impermanence. All my life I have been distracted, drawn to the lights. I was like a butterfly. Now I let things come to me. It might just be sheer foolishness to believe that something will remain after I die, whatever. It makes me feel good.”
“I understand grandpa.” “But let's talk about you. Do you have any projects ?”
“I started writing a story some time ago. It is on my usb key. I had given up a bit but these days I got new ideas.”
“You can sit back there and write during the trip”
“Yes, but I hadn't planned on leaving like this. I didn't take my laptop when I came to see you. So I only have a notebook.”
“I will fix it.”
Kevin settled in and took over his project from the start. John bought back-up batteries, a laptop, a printer, additional solar panels
 Kevin had set up a full office and had already done a good job when the blue bus arrived at Gatlinburg and got onto the US 441 in the direction of from Cherokee. “Here we are on the Newfound Gap Road KĂ©vin. Lift your head from your screen and look at this landscape!”John said victoriously.
Kevin was stuck in a passage. He put on the music of the Indian flute and drums, drowning his gaze on the landscape that stretched out before him as far as the eye could see.
John parked at Morton Overlook. “Take your things, we'll stretch our legs before night falls!”
Kevin had his head elsewhere and looked for his papers. He couldn't remember where he had put his wallet. He looked everywhere and opened the glove box. This is where he saw the vial. He took it and closed the box. John suddenly arrived. “What's the matter ? You make a face!”
“I don't feel very well, maybe because of the turns in the mountains.”
“Get on the roof and get some fresh air. I take a little tour.”
John walked away with his trekking poles, grumbling about the fragile health of the young people today.
Kevin was facing the mountains, his helmet on his ears. There was no one on the horizon. He opened the vial. There wasn't much left in it. Nearby, a red-shouldered hawk screamed. They looked at each other. The rhythm of the drums quickened. He drank the rest of the vial. The bird flew away and Kevin followed it with his eyes.
Soon after his sight blurred and the mountains, benevolent giants usually still, began to dance. An emotion gripped him. He was crying. He then saw a man from behind, an Indian, playing a drum while looking at the sky. He turned and recognized Joe calling him. He then saw himself on the roof of the blue bus. He no longer recognized his hands. He saw hooves. He was a majestic stag now. Joe had changed into a hawk and was flying above him screaming.
“What the hell are you doing! I've been trying to wake you up for twenty minutes!” John said. “What happened?” “We found you in the woods. There was a hawk near you. We found you thanks to him.”
Kevin saw a woman next to his grandfather
“Who are you?” “Emma. I was lost and your grandfather accompanied me here.”
“Okay, let's get back to the bus. We're going to bring Emma back to where she parked her van. And then we'll take a little pick-me-up. It tires to save people.”
They didn't talk about what happened again. John and Emma seemed to get along very well. So much so that they had decided that Emma would follow them on the adventure. So Emma’s van remained in the rearview mirror of the blue bus. Kevin was a bit out of the way and that suited him. He needed to isolate himself in order to work. He gradually lost all sense of time, sometimes eating alone. John did not fall ill again.
Months passed and Kevin wrote the end of his novel as they passed through Canyonlands National Park, Utah. Kevin felt intense relief. He stayed the course and threw himself headlong into the search for a publisher, posting manuscripts regularly.
Kevin had to wait several more months, but when John stopped the blue bus at Muir Beach Overlook in San Francisco, he had finally found a publishing house.
“This is the perfect place to see the sunset” announced John.
“Come on I'll join you” Emma threw them out the window. She was trying to park her van.
A winding footpath overlooked the ocean. The wind lashed their faces. They stopped at a lookout to admire the view, waiting for him.
“Is it serious with Emma?” KĂ©vin asked
John smiles:
- The word “serious” doesn't mean anything to me anymore. Almost a year ago the doctors told me that I had only a few months to live. In other words you have in front of you a living dead! I told Emma all this. She doesn't care and tells me you have to live from day to day.
Kevin nodded.
- It is better that I leave you both now. You remember that you wanted to see the mountains and the ocean. Well there we are.
- You're right, there we are. You helped me make this trip, you fulfilled your part of the deal. I free you KĂ©vin. The old man hugged his grandson. “Thank you”
“Now I understand what you were saying.” KĂ©vin said.
“About what ?” “Because there is no end ... There always comes the end of a journey, a novel, a season or a year, whatever. Even old Kevin is over! And yet I have never felt so alive, free and close to myself.”
“What are you going to do ?” “I found a publisher. I have an appointment with him in a few days. Then I'll try to find Joe.”
“The young Indian?” “When I took what was left of the vial to the Great Smoky Mountains I saw him in a vision. It may sound crazy, but it is true.”
“Welcome to the madmen then!”
They laughed together. “What are you going to do now?” Kevin continued.
“I'll go back the other way, with Emma.”
He handed her the keys to his blue bus. “Take them, you will need them to return to Joe's reserve” “But
 and you?”
“I'm moving in Emma's van, don't worry about me.”
“Thank you, Grandpa. Will we meet on the road?”
“I'm sure son, I'm sure.”

Note: I had translated my own text entitled "La fin" below in french. I apologize for this appoximative translation.
La fin
– Je dois vous prĂ©venir, dit l’infirmiĂšre, votre grand-pĂšre est en train de devenir sĂ©nile. Il faut ĂȘtre patient avec lui, mĂȘme s’il vous raconte des choses qui peuvent vous paraĂźtre Ă©tranges.
– Et pour ses examens ?
– Pendant son coma nous avons dĂ©couvert un cancer gĂ©nĂ©ralisé  Je suis dĂ©solĂ©
Elle le conduisit jusqu’à sa chambre et hocha la tĂȘte
– Courage
Il regarda l’infirmiĂšre s’éloigner et entra. Son grand-pĂšre prĂ©parait sa valise
– Mais qu’est-ce que tu fais ?
Il soupira
– Tu ne dis plus bonjour ?
– Excuses moi, bonjour
 Tu penses vraiment qu’ils te laisseront sortir ?
– Bien entendu, puisque tu vas m’aider.
– Non, non, non n’y penses mĂȘme pas !
– J’ai fait bien plus qu’y penser KĂ©vin ! D’ailleurs est-ce que tu sais pourquoi tes parents t’ont affublĂ© d’un prĂ©nom tout droit sorti d’un sitcom dĂ©bile ? Tu n’as jamais eu envie de porter plainte contre eux ?
KĂ©vin regarda ses pieds
– Eh bien je parie qu’eux non plus ne savent pas pourquoi ils t’ont affublĂ© de ce prĂ©nom ! Ajouta-t-il. Nous sommes diffĂ©rents. Nous n’avons jamais su ce que nous faisions lĂ . Je vois bien comment tu te comportes depuis que tu es tout petit. Nous avons toujours l’air toujours perdu. Nous ne savons pas ce que nous voulons faire parce que la sociĂ©tĂ© ne nous propose rien qui nous convienne, j’ai pas raison ? En vĂ©ritĂ© nous ne sommes pas vraiment des paumĂ©s et des ratĂ©s, nous ne voyons pas les choses comme les autres, c’est tout. Nous devons donc agir diffĂ©remment.
Son grand-pĂšre avait toujours Ă©tĂ© quelqu’un d’extravaguant. Ses paroles avait fait mouche mais KĂ©vin avait encore trop de rĂ©sistances intĂ©rieures.
– Mais enfin il n’y a qu’ici qu’on peut te soigner

– Tu ferais vraiment un mauvais comĂ©dien. Tu n’es pas mĂȘme pas convaincu toi-mĂȘme par ce que tu dis. Je sais bien que j’ai un cancer. Et que va-t-il se passer ? Je vais te le dire : des traitements qui vont me transformer en lĂ©gume et au final je finirais en soin palliatifs sous morphine. C’est comme ça que tu vois ma fin toi aussi ?
– Ne dis pas de bĂȘtises !
– Aide-moi Ă  sortir d’ici, je ne veux pas crever lĂ , je veux voir une derniĂšre fois le soleil se coucher derriĂšre les montagnes et sur l’ocĂ©an. C’est trop demander ? Ce sont mes derniĂšres volontĂ©s, je te signerai une dĂ©charge s’il le faut !
– Je ne sais pas
– Comment cela tu ne sais pas ? Eh bien il est temps pour toi de savoir. J’ai encore deux ou trois trucs Ă  faire avant la fin. Je te demande pas grand chose au final, juste de m’accompagner. Je me suis renseignĂ©, il manque juste une signature. Tes parents ne veulent pas, il ne sont mĂȘme pas venus me voir. Tout le monde s’en fout. Tout le monde sauf toi KĂ©vin.
KĂ©vin regarda par la fenĂȘtre et soupira :
– D’accord

– Tu es un bon garçon
Il avançÚrent le long du couloir. KĂ©vin signa la dĂ©charge et pris un sac de mĂ©dicaments et d’anti-douleurs. A l’intĂ©rieur il y avait Ă©galement un prospectus qui indiquait l’emplacement des, hopitaux, services d’urgences, morgues et pompes funĂšbres du secteur. Son grand-pĂšre l’attendait dehors, le regard levĂ© vers le ciel, yeux fermĂ©s. Le vent lui caressait le visage. KĂ©vin n’osa pas le dĂ©ranger et alla chercher la voiture. Il posa le sac Ă  l’arriĂšre et vint Ă  sa hauteur. C’est vrai que son grand-pĂšre avait l’air bizarre depuis quelques temps. Peut-ĂȘtre Ă©tait-ce ainsi lorsque l’on sentait la mort toute proche. KĂ©vin se perdit dans ses pensĂ©es et sursauta lorsque son grand-pĂšre claqua la portiĂšre.
– On y va ?
– Quelle direction ?
– Vers l’ouest Ă©videmment !
– Et oĂč est-ce qu’on dormira?
– En fait, il faut que je te prĂ©cise mon projet. J’ai achetĂ© un van pour faire le voyage jusqu’à la Californie. Je compte aussi visiter quelques parcs nationaux sur le chemin.
Il pointa du doigt l’horizon :
– Il m’attends un peu plus loin dans un garage. Cela fait longtemps que je me prĂ©pare, depuis le dĂ©cĂšs de ta grand-mĂšre Ă  vrai dire. J’ai amĂ©nagĂ© ce van moi-mĂȘme, petit Ă  petit. Il n’y a Ă  bord que l’essentiel plus quelques souvenirs, des disques et des livres
 Et puis il y a eut cet accident de voiture et le coma durant lequel ils ont dĂ©couvert un cancer. C’est ce qui m’a dĂ©finitivement dĂ©cidĂ© Ă  vendre la maison et Ă  me dĂ©barrasser du superflu. Ce van m’accompagnera jusqu’au bout dĂ©sormais.
– Tu veux dire
 jusqu’à la...
– Mort. Le mot te fait peur ? Souvent les gens ont peur mĂȘme du mot, comme s’il portait malheur. C’est Ă©trange tu ne trouves pas ? Pour moi c’est le signe que notre sociĂ©tĂ© est malade. En fait c’est la sociĂ©tĂ© qui nous rend malade. Mais ne t’inquiĂštes pas pour moi. Je suis certain maintenant qu’il n’y a pas vraiment de mort, du moins, pas au sens oĂč on l’entend.
– Comment ça ?
– En sortant du coma j’ai eu l’impression de retourner Ă  la vie. Pourtant je vivais aussi pendant mon coma et je continuais malgrĂ© tout Ă  exister. La seule chose qui avait disparue pendant mon coma c’était ma conscience en Ă©veil. Mais ma conscience profonde, je ne sais pas comment l’appeler, Ă©tait toujours lĂ . C’est comme une ampoule que l’on allume ou que l’on Ă©teint. Quelque soit son Ă©tat l’ampoule est toujours lĂ , immuable, seul le reste est changeant. VoilĂ  ce qui me rend bizarre aux yeux des gens Ă  qui j’essaie d’expliquer ça. Qui a raison ? qui a tort ? Je m’en fiche et je ne cherche Ă  convaincre personne. Je demande juste ma libertĂ© et je ne fais de mal Ă  personne.
– D’accord
 Je t’aiderai le temps qu’il faudra
– Merci KĂ©vin, je savais que je pouvais compter sur toi
Ils roulĂšrent ensuite sur de nombreux kilomĂštres sans se parler. Le paysage dĂ©filait, tout comme les certitudes de KĂ©vin. La journĂ©e arrivait Ă  son terme lorsqu’ils arrivĂšrent au garage. Il y avait un ancien bus scolaire repeint en bleu stationnĂ© sur le parking.
– C’est lui, gare toi Ă  cĂŽtĂ© et attends moi, je vais chercher les clefs.
Il revint accompagnĂ© d’un jeune indien.
– Joe cherchait un taxi pour rejoindre une rĂ©serve. Comme c’est notre direction je lui ai proposĂ© de le dĂ©poser en passant. Si on roule toute la nuit en se relayant on y sera demain matin.
Aux premiĂšres lueurs de l’aube le bus stoppa net. KĂ©vin vit son grand-pĂšre penchĂ© sur le volant.
– Qu’est-ce qui se passe ? Ça ne va pas ?
– C’est juste une crise. Passes moi le sac d’anti-douleurs.
Kévin blémit
– Merde, je l’ai oubliĂ© dans la voiture
– Donnes moi du whisky à la place, ça fera l’affaire.
Le jeune indien regardait KĂ©vin vider les placards les uns aprĂšs les autres tandis que vieil homme Ă©tait recroquevillĂ© au sol. Il s’approcha de lui et sortit une petite fiole :
– Ce sont des plantes du dĂ©sert, utiles pour communiquer avec le Grand Esprit mais elles soulagent aussi la douleur.
Kévin revint avec une bouteille ambrée, incrédule.
– Aide moi Ă  le sortir dehors, il faut ĂȘtre Ă  l’air libre. On ne doit pas enfermer les esprits
Dehors il y avait un ensemble de rochers empilĂ©s. La lumiĂšre, tombant Ă  l’oblique, lui donnait l’apparence d’une crĂ©ature fantastique. En outre, les rochers disjoints Ă  la base ressemblaient Ă  une porte. Le jeune indien s’immobilisa devant.
– Etrange, vraiment Ă©trange de s’ĂȘtre prĂ©cisĂ©ment arrĂȘtĂ© ici. C’est un signe
– Pourquoi ?
– C’est un lieu sacrĂ©. Cette porte mĂšne Ă  un ancien lac
 Comment va ton grand-pĂšre ?
– Il est

KĂ©vin regarda Ă  droite et Ă  gauche mais il n’y avait plus personne. Seules rĂ©sonnaient les premiĂšres notes de The End, des Doors. Le vieil homme s’avançait dans le dĂ©sert. KĂ©vin cria :
– ça va grand-pùre ?
This is the end
Beautiful friend
Le jeune indien reprit sa fiole, but une gorgĂ©e Ă  sont tour et l’a tendit Ă  KĂ©vin :
– Grand-pĂšre John a dĂ©jĂ  commencĂ© le voyage
KĂ©vin hĂ©sita et but Ă  son tour. AprĂšs un moment les formes devinrent instables. Les rochers avaient l’air de mirages, ondulant dans la lumiĂšre rouge-orangĂ©e. Leurs tĂȘtes s’enflammaient. Leurs consciences...
So limitless and free
Lentement, parcouraient le monde, leurs peurs, leurs folies...
In a
 desperate land
Marcher, avancer, franchir la porte...
To the lake, the ancient lake
De lĂ  haut, la route ressemblait Ă  un serpent...
The snake is long, seven miles
Une voix disait

Get here, and we’ll do the rest
Tout se mélangeait, le bus bleu semblait flotter

Driver, where’re you takin’us
Vers un lieu situĂ© aux confins de notre mĂ©moire, pour affronter d’anciens et obscurs dĂ©sirs et dĂ©raciner jusqu’à la moindre racine de l’ego

kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,
Et alors...
This is the end
C’est la libĂ©ration

The end of nights we tried to die
Des figures gĂ©omĂ©triques dĂ©filĂšrent devant leurs yeux. C’était comme s’ils Ă©taient aspirĂ©s dans un tunnel, croisant de temps Ă  autre un visage familier, un animal. La lumiĂšre devint aveuglante. Le soleil Ă©tait dĂ©jĂ  haut lorsqu’ils reprirent leurs esprits. C’était un nouveau jour, un renouveau, une renaissance. KĂ©vin ouvrit les yeux. Il Ă©tait au sommet du rocher. Il chercha son grand-pĂšre des yeux et le vit sur le toit du bus bleu. Le jeune indien Ă©tait Ă  l’arriĂšre. Il lui fit un signe par la fenĂȘtre. Les hommes se retrouvĂšrent Ă  l’entrĂ©e du bus, silencieux. C’est le jeune indien qui rompit le silence :
– Ma rĂ©serve se trouve par lĂ 
– Tu l’as vue en vision ?
– Non sur google maps
Ils rirent longtemps, comme pour retarder le moment de se dire au revoir.
– OĂč allez-vous maintenant ?
– Nous allons passer par les Great Smoky Mountains et puis continuer vers l’ouest jusqu’à la Californie et l’ocĂ©an
– On se retrouvera peut-ĂȘtre sur la route.
– Peut-ĂȘtre... bon voyage !
– Bon voyage ! Dit Ă  son tour KĂ©vin
Le jeune indien s’éloigna avec son sac Ă  dos. Il pensa au Grand Esprit. S’Il le voulait leurs routes se croiseraient Ă  nouveau.
John et KĂ©vin le regardĂšrent s’en aller. C’est alors que le vieil homme vit la fiole pas tout Ă  fait vide qui traĂźnait sur le tableau de bord. John la prit et la rangea discrĂštement dans la boĂźte Ă  gants. Il dit en dĂ©marrant :
– J’espĂšre qu’on le reverra. Je ne sais pas ce qu’il y avait dans sa mixture mais je ne me souviens pas avoir dĂ©jĂ  vĂ©cu un truc pareil.
– Est-ce que tu as vu la mĂȘme chose que moi ?
– Avec le tunnel Ă  la fin et tout le reste, ouais. C’était vraiment un truc de dingue.
– Mais comment se fait-il que nous ayons eu une expĂ©rience similaire ?
– Je crois qu’on a vĂ©cu une transe
– Comment tu peux en ĂȘtre aussi sĂ»r ?
– Quand j’ai appris que j’avais un cancer j’ai fait des recherches et j’ai dĂ©couvert qu’une Ă©tude est en cours pour Ă©valuer les effets thĂ©rapeuthiques de la transe. Les neuropsychologues ont rĂ©vĂ©lĂ© qu’une transe est un Ă©tat particulier du cerveau et qu’il faut passer par diffĂ©rents stades pour y arriver. Ces Ă©tapes sont universelles car elles font partie intĂ©grante du systĂšme nerveux humain. Seules les significations attribuĂ©es Ă  tout ce que nous voyons durant la transe sont conditionnĂ©es par notre culture.
– Et dans cette Ă©tude ils font prendre des substances aux gens ?
– Pas du tout. Ils utilisent des des boucles sonores basĂ©es sur des sons de tambours et de chants psalmodiĂ©s. Tout le monde a accĂšs Ă  ces Ă©tats de conscience modifiĂ©s. Cette nuit j’ai vraiment ressenti une puissante connexion avec toi et Joe, avec la nature, le monde.
– Je ne sais pas encore quoi en penser. C’est tellement dĂ©routant.
– C’est normal KĂ©vin. C’est seulement quand j’ai su que j’allais mourir j’ai commencĂ© Ă  voir les choses diffĂ©remment et que toutes mes certitudes se sont effondrĂ©es. J’avais l’impression de me dĂ©placer dans un dĂ©cor, rien ne semblait rĂ©el. Je me suis alors concentrĂ© sur la seule chose qui me paraissait fixe alors que tout autour tout n’était qu’impermanence. Toute ma vie j’ai Ă©tĂ© distrait, attirĂ© par les lumiĂšres. J’étais comme un papillon. Maintenant je laisse les choses venir Ă  moi. Ce n’est sans doute que pure folie de croire que quelque chose restera aprĂšs ma mort, peu importe. Cela me fait du bien.
– Je comprends grand-pùre.
– Mais parlons un peu de toi. tu as des projets ?
– J'ai commencĂ© Ă  Ă©crire une histoire il y a quelques temps. Elle est sur ma clef usb. J'avais un peu abandonnĂ© mais ces jours-ci j'ai eu nouvelles idĂ©es.
– Tu peux t’installer lĂ -derriĂšre et Ă©crire pendant le voyage
– Oui mais je n'avais pas prĂ©vu de partir comme ça. Je n'ai pas pris mon ordinateur portable en venant te voir. Du coup je n'ai qu’un carnet.
– Je vais arranger ça.
KĂ©vin s’installa et reprit son projet depuis le dĂ©but. John acheta des batteries de secours, un ordinateur portable, un imprimante, des panneaux solaires supplĂ©mentaires
 KĂ©vin s’était amĂ©nagĂ© un bureau complet et avait dĂ©jĂ  bien travaillĂ© lorsque le bus bleu arriva Ă  Gatlinburg et s’engagea sur l’US 441 en direction de Cherokee. John lança sur un air victorieux :
– VoilĂ , nous sommes sur la Newfound Gap Road KĂ©vin. LĂšve la tĂȘte de ton Ă©cran et regardes moi ce paysage ! KĂ©vin Ă©tait bloquĂ© sur un passage. Il mis une musique de flĂ»te et de tambours indiens, noyant son regard dans le paysage qui s’étendait devant lui Ă  perte de vue.
John se gara à Morton Overlook :
– Prends tes affaires on va se dĂ©gourdir les jambes avant que la nuit tombe !
KĂ©vin avait la tĂȘte ailleurs et chercha ses papiers. Il ne se rappelait plus oĂč il avait mis son portefeuille. Il chercha partout et ouvrit la boĂźte Ă  gants. C’est lĂ  qu’il vit la fiole. Il l’a prit et referma la boĂźte. John arriva soudainement et fit sursauter KĂ©vin :
– Qu’est-ce qu’il y a ? Tu en fais une tĂȘte ?
– Je ne me sens pas trĂšs bien, peut-ĂȘtre Ă  cause des virages
– Monte sur le toit et prends l’air. Je fais un petit tour.
John s’éloigna avec ses bĂątons de marche en maugrĂ©ant sur la santĂ© fragiles des jeunes d’auhourd’hui.
KĂ©vin s’installa face aux montagnes, son casque sur les oreilles. Il n’y avait personne Ă  l’horizon. Il ouvrit la fiole. Il ne restait pas grand chose dedans. Un faucon Ă  Ă©paulettes rouges Ă  proximitĂ© poussa un cri. Ils se regardĂšrent. Le rythme des tambours s’accĂ©lĂ©ra. Il but le restant de la fiole. L’oiseau s’envola et KĂ©vin le suivit des yeux. Peu aprĂšs, sa vue se brouilla et les montagnes, gĂ©ants bienveillants et d’ordinaires immobiles, se mirent Ă  danser. Une Ă©motion l’étreignit. Il pleurait. Il vit ensuite un homme de dos, un indien, jouant du tambour en regardant le ciel. Il se tourna et reconnut Joe qui l’appelait. Il se vit alors sur le toit du bus bleu. Il ne reconnaissait plus ses mains. Il voyait des sabots. Il Ă©tait un cerf majestueux maintenant. Joe s’était changĂ© en faucon et volait au-dessus de lui en criant.
– Bon sang mais qu’est-ce que t’as foutu ! Ça fait vingt minutes que j’essaie de te rĂ©veiller !
– Qu’est ce qui s’est passé ?
– On t’a retrouvĂ© dans les bois. Il y avait un faucon prĂšs de toi. On t’a retrouvĂ© grĂące Ă  lui
Kévin vit une femme aux cÎté de son grand-pÚre
– Qui ĂȘtes-vous ?
– Emma. J’étais perdue et votre grand-pĂšre m’a accompagnĂ© jusqu’ici
– Bon, retournons au bus. On va ramener Emma lĂ  oĂč elle a garĂ© son van. Et aprĂšs on prendra un petit remontant. Ça fatigue de sauver des gens.
Ils ne reparlĂšrent pas de ce qui s’était passĂ©. John et Emma semblait trĂšs bien s’entendre. A tel point qu’ils avaient dĂ©cidĂ© qu’Emma les suivraient dans l’aventure. Le van d’Emma restait donc dans le rĂ©troviseur du bus bleu. KĂ©vin Ă©tait un peu Ă  l’écart et cela lui convenait. Il avait besoin de s’isoler pour travailler. Il perdit peu Ă  peu toute notion de temps, mangeant parfois seul. John ne fit pas d’autre crise.
Les mois passĂšrent et KĂ©vin Ă©crivit le mot fin Ă  son roman au moment oĂč ils traversaient le Canyonlands National Park, dans l’Utah. KĂ©vin ressentit un soulagement intense. Il resta sur sa lancĂ©e et se jeta Ă  corps perdu dans la recherche d’un Ă©diteur, postant des manuscrits rĂ©guliĂšrement.
KĂ©vin du attendre encore plusieurs mois mais quand John stoppa le bus bleu Ă  Muir Beach Overlook, Ă  San Francisco, il avait enfin trouvĂ© une maison d’édition.
– C’est l’endroit idĂ©al pour voir le coucher du soleil annonça John
Emma, qui cherchait une place pour son van, leur lança par la fenĂȘtre :
– Avancez je vous rejoints
Un sentier piĂ©ton sinueux surplombait l’ocĂ©an. Le vent leur fouettait le visage. Ils s’arrĂȘtĂšrent Ă  un belvĂ©dĂšre pour admirer la vue, en l’attendant. KĂ©vin demanda :
– C’est sĂ©rieux avec Emma ?
John sourit :
– Le mot “sĂ©rieux” ne veut plus rien dire pour moi. Il y a presque un an les mĂ©decins m’ont annoncĂ© que je n’avais plus que quelques mois Ă  vivre. Autrement dit tu as devant toi un mort vivant ! J’ai dit tout ça Ă  Emma. Elle s’en fiche et me dit qu’il faut vivre au jour le jour.
KĂ©vin hocha la tĂȘte.
– Il est prĂ©fĂ©rable que je vous laisse tous les deux maintenant. Tu te souviens ce que m’as dit, que tu voulais voir les montagnes et l’ocĂ©an. Eh bien nous y sommes.
– Tu as raison, nous y sommes. Tu m’as aidĂ© Ă  faire ce voyage, tu as rempli ta part du contrat. Je te libĂšre KĂ©vin. Tu es libre.
Le vieil homme serra son petit-fils dans ses bras:
– Merci
– Maintenant je comprends ce que tu disais.
– A propos de quoi ?
– Du fait qu’il n’y a pas de fin
 Arrive toujours la fin d’un voyage, d’un roman, d’une saison ou d’une annĂ©e, peu importe. MĂȘme l’ancien KĂ©vin c’est terminé ! Et pourtant je ne me suis jamais senti aussi vivant, libre et proche de moi-mĂȘme.
– Qu’est-ce que tu vas faire ?
– J’ai trouvĂ© un Ă©diteur. J’ai rendez-vous avec lui dans quelques jours. Ensuite j’essaierai de retrouver Joe.
– Le jeune indien ?
– Quand j’ai pris ce qui restait de la fiole aux Great Smoky Mountains je l’ai vu en vision. Cela peut paraütre fou mais c’est pourtant vrai.
– Bienvenue chez les fous alors !
Ils rirent ensemble et Kévin reprit :
– Et toi qu’est-ce que tu vas faire ?
– Je vais repartir dans l’autre sens, avec Emma.
Il lui tendit les clefs de son bus bleu :
– Prends-les, tu en auras besoin pour retrouner Ă  la rĂ©serve de Joe
– Mais
 et toi ?
– Je dĂ©menage dans le van d’Emma, ne t’en fais pas pour moi
– Merci Grand-pùre. On se retrouvera sur la route ?
– J’en suis sĂ»r fils, j’en suis sĂ»r

(UM omg I'm sorry if this is long and specific, you look like you're interested in hearing thoughts like that, however if this is giving you a headache hghhh pls ignore this)
I'm sure Majima would do everything he could to raise his kid with as much normalcy as possible considering all the stuff associated with him. His kid however is gonna be aware of the things he went through and (still does occasionally) and by the time they're in their late teens they'll probably be able to understand how and why everything has been happening.
What if this just...closes them off completely to him when it comes to communicating their more "common" issues? (That combined with having inherited the Majima trait of emotional repression💀)
Considering his child is a civilian there's already this gap between them and a potential form of inability to relate with each other completely.
So what If they're super nervous about failing the semester? Are they gonna say that to a man who, when was in their age, was locked away in a torture dungeon?
Did they come across a shitty person on the street? Well, dad has to meet tens of those every day for years now so...
With the logic of how 'He's had it worse' and how 'He already has a lot on his plate' you can never really win.
Does Majima notice when his child stops talking to him and does he seek a resolution to this? What is for sure is that neither of them would want to lose the close bond they have with each other
YES. Thank you for sharing this with me anon, it's definitely right up my alley when it comes to Dadjima daydreams! I wrote everything under the cut because my response is just as long haha
It's a good topic to explore, because I totally agree that Majima would try to keep his child's life within the parameters of "normal", as much as he can. But at the same time, this can have lots of different outcomes, some he's likely not even thought of.
Sure his kid could live out their perfect, happy childhood, later learn of their dad's past and current dealings and be content to never delve deeper than that. Simply never speak of it again. Majima would be okay with that...
On the flip side, the worst-case scenario for Majima is outright resentment. What if it all comes as a shock to his kid - the torture, the gang violence, the mass murder he almost committed at age 20...? His underworld reputation could forever taint the image of "dad" in their mind and cause them to pull away completely.
But what Majima doesn't consider are these in-between cases, like the one you mentioned. Dad, who's always all grins and energy, has in fact been through some of the worst things a human can experience. How do any of their "mundane" problems even compare to that?
So while I think he'd notice the distance forming between them right away, Majima wouldn't figure out the real cause until a lot later. At first, he thinks it's exam stress, then regular teenage sulkiness, then he starts prodding to see if they're perhaps being bullied at school...
The actual reason hits him like a freight train, mostly cause it's so... unthinkable, for him at least. He's seen lots of different reactions to his past before: pity, fear, indifference, but this is wholly new. And what he'd say is...
"It ain't a race to the bottom."
The scars, the nightmares, the unprocessed trauma, no one's tallying them up. Nobody but yourself. And they sure as hell are no consolation during those times where you just feel like giving up. Majima's never felt like a martyr and there's no reason anyone should ever look at him that way.
In fact, all that stuff he went through... it was made all the worse by not having someone there to support him. So if there's one thing Majima wants to do right in this life, it's making damn sure that he's there for his kid. Now and forever, in rain or shine, no matter what issue they're facing. He may have drawn the short straw when it comes to living a happy life, but hey, maybe that makes him all the more equipped to deal with his child's troubles, small as they may seem now. đŸ„ș
On a different note, since I just recently finished Y6 (it seriously took just over half a year, congrats me đŸŒđŸ„‡), there's another scenario I could see playing out. Spoilers for Y6, stop reading here if you haven't played it!
The Iwami father and son dynamic is in a way a cautionary tale about heredity in organized crime. You're a powerful yakuza boss, but, naturally, you've got a soft spot for your son. You want to protect him and keep him well away from the underworld. You've got the best of intentions, but as it turns out, it takes more than just good intentions to raise a kid...
If it gets to the point where you're constantly at war with each other, with you actively dismissing his attempts at participating in the "family business", then you're basically sending the message that you don't trust him. Or that he isn't worthy. You're forcibly making a choice for him and even if it's the "right" choice, by whatever measure, you're still taking away his autonomy.
The thing with Majima is that he's been known to do this before... to Makoto, to Mirei to some extent, to with Saejima. If he can see that there's a clearly better path (usually the one that involves him leaving the person's life altogether), he will do anything to make sure they take it. Distancing himself, withholding information, whatever it takes.
But could he do the same in the case of his own child? Boy I dunno... it would easily be the toughest choice he's ever had to make. If his son was frightfully power-hungry like Iwami Jr., dead set on taking over as the next Majima family patriarch... could and should Majima stop him? I wanna say he'd eventually give in and let him pursue this dream, because he can't bear to be hated by his own kin... but I'm still kinda undecided tbh đŸ€”
Would love to hear others' thoughts though!

I am so upset at my school situation and at myself and I feel like I can't even talk about it with any of my friends because I don't want them to feel sorry for me. I know that me failing and having to repeat a year is my fault. But it's still one of the worst, most painful things that I had to go through in my stupid short life. And it's been so long and I'm still not over it even a little bit, I just don't talk about it. Since I'm in the third grade again, we have say goodbyes to the fourth-graders before their final exams. And the topic of that came up recently in my class and it's so fucking hard. We have to hold this whole ceremony for them, with gifts and some fun games and all that and on one hand I want to help with the preparations, so I could somehow properly say goodbye to my friends, but on the other hand I don't know if I'll be able to handle even being at the ceremony. Seeing them all go. And then their school year ends before ours so they have some more time to study for the exams and finish their diplomas. So I won't see them anymore. And I'll still be there. And I can't even process the thought of that. And my new classmates are fine, they're cool people and I genuinely like some of them, but I don't care about them. I dunno maybe I sound harsh but I don't care about their existance, if I never met a single one of them I would be perfectly fine, and I won't hold any relationships with any of them after we graduate. And now I still can sometimes see my actual friend at school, I share my dorm room with one of them, but just in a few months I'll be left there all alone. I don't know how I'll handle it. I already know that I will miss a lot of classes because of my mental state and I'm terrified that it may make me fail again and stay one more year in this shithole. And I feel like I can't talk about it with those friends. Partially because I don't want them to be sad and sorry for me, they have more important stuff in their lives than me and they should focus on their exams. But also I feel like it doesn't matter to them. Like I'm the only one here being sad over this, like they don't even care about me, like they'll forget about me after they graduate and I'll be standing there, crying my eyes out and failing to exist like a person while they'll just won't ever think about me again. And I know it's mostly my shitty anxious brain thinking this but I can't just stop feeling like shit. I feel like I'm dying and no one but me sees this. At the beginning of this year I was offered help from our school counselor but I refused, because how even would that help. Talking to her won't make my friends stay.
This is gonna be the worst summer of my life.
