A few hours later, my daze was interrupted by a notification. I check my phone. It's 9. I’m an hour late. ####. I quickly delete my phone out of existence, not even looking at the notification, and get up. I teleport to Void’s- whatever- the void? Wherever Void lives. Void stares at me in pure annoyance and anger. “Where were you?” His voice thundered, sending a shiver down my spine. “I-i uh- I- I’m sorry I zoned out-” I stammered out, tearing up. I knew the punishment for being late. “Also, what were you thinking about your life? Honestly, good. Your misery fuels my joy.” Void smirked. I felt small, as per normal. “Don’t hurt me..please-” Void got up from his chair and placed his coconut drink down. He shoved me to the ground, looking pissed. He was smirking a few minutes ago, how does someone change so fast?! And thus the pain began. About…I dont even know. Void finally stopped. He was probably bored or something..I don’t..even know how long..it’s been…everything is fuzzy…my vision..thoughts ... This is going to be a long day…I let out a pained groan as I sat up, clutching my bloodied chest. I felt some blood trickle down the side of my face but I was too in pain to check where it was coming from. I shakily got up. My head was pounding. I can’t stay soft, not at the cost of this. I can't…even heal myself ... .Oh wait…I needa work. I stumble over to a portal opening area. I type in the code and step through the flash of pink light. I arrived at the lounge. Some other guardians are chatting amongst themselves. I spot my friends talking at a table. As I sat down with them, they both had different reactions. “Yeesh, bad morning?” Moxie asked me, staring at me which…I think is a concerning expression…? Give me a break, my head hurts…”yeahh..” I mumble out tiredly, laying my head against the table. “You know how Void is about…being…late…” “Cosmo- just- take a break for a second alright?” Star patted me on the back. I was too tired to feel those butterflies in my stomach as I normally did. Moxie leaned back in his chair. “Void really did a number on you.” Star agreed with him, she then chimed in with: “Why were you late in the first place?” I try to recollect my thoughts…it's…hard…everything is ...fuzzy…..I feel my consciousness slowly slipping…and ... It went black.
As I start to get a sense of my surroundings again, I can see a blurry image of…not in the lounge…the…medic ... .I can see my friends' worried expressions. For once…Star wasn’t looking at the list of crap to do…Moxie didn't have his usual cocky expression…The medic…Looked…concerned...but…..relieved……I ... ..couldn't…move…… “What’s going on…” I thought out loud. I could see the medic talking, but my hearing was muffled…I just stared at them with a confused expression. I hear a muffled steady beeping….What the ####..I sit up in what feels to be some kind of bed. My vision slowly cleared up and I can see everything better. “Everything…hurts…” I whimper out, more vulnerable than I wanted. Star pulled out her clipboard and began writing something down. Am I being observed? Like some kind of animal? AGH- MY HEAD! I lay back down with a pained expression, my breathing gets a bit heavier. “W-what..?” I close my eyes, letting out pained grunts. I feel something being put on my horns, it was..a bit painful..I feel sensitive for once…I don’t like this feeling…I can suddenly hear properly. “Will he..be okay?” Moxie asked. I can hear the panic in his voice. “Well…” The medic paused. “His horn’s are broken, There's a really deep gash in his torso, and..we’re seeing a cracked skull on the X-rays.” Both of my friends fell silent. The pain subsided by now. “What..does…any of that…mean….again..?” I ask, that stupid ####### vulnerable tone coming out again. The medic stared at me for a second, before finally dumbing it down. “Horns are broken so you can’t hear that well, you have a bad cut on your upper body and your head is broken.” I just blink at them, not understanding a word. They sighed. “You’re broken, Cosmo.” This..is….a great way…to start….work….yayyyy. “What's that grey thing on his horns?” Moxie asked, but before the medic could respond, Star chimed in. “It's like..a mold..to make sure it grows back to a proper size. It also fills in for hearing. I had one during the war. Apparently it’s painful to heal your own horns, so they just let it grow back by itself. I…feel better… As I tried getting up, Star came to my side and held me down. “You aren't working till you have the energy to heal yourself.” I thought she was joking, but she looked serious. Agh…why me ....Voids going to erase me from existence… I need to take care of my universe.. I watched as my friends exited the room. I laid my head back and let out a sigh. This was going to be a long day. I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath. The boredom, it’s killing me. I hate not having something to do. This is torture. Are you ####### happy, Void? Are you?! Is this what you wanted from me?! I hate this- I hate my life! I hate myself! I wish I died in that stupid ####### war so I don’t have to deal with all this pain- all this suffering- WHY ME?! Sorry guys- had no energy to draw a thumbnail XD also thank you for all the support i recieved on the last one >:D no ones reading just liking chat am i cooked?
