Convictions: Temptation (Night 2-C)

“Why are you even here?” Rob asked. “Your somewhere between hanging out with and getting stock by an attractive sound Mystic with the same name as your girlfriend. There’s no way Sophia is agreeing to that, so tell her off.

“Doesn’t seem that simple to me.” Obb stated. “I do think you’re gonna have to pick a girl though.”

“I know that, but….”

“Phil…” Marc Paused. I’d like you to stop by my place with Baron later. 

“Why?” Phil asked.

“Maple has requested I don’t interfere beyond are agreed upon arrangement.” Marc stated. “And this time I agree with that arrangement.”


“So we might hear the story later.” Rob sighed. “Well, with her it can’t be helped.”

“Look. All i’m going to say. Is you were our last hold out.” Obb continued . “Baron hasn’t had a stable relationship either. Between either of his two relationships. “Rob holding it together, admittingly. But I'm single again, and-”

“Single, are you?” Rob stated. “Cause that’s not what a certain spider seems to think.” 

“You leave her out of this!” Obb slammed his wing on the table. “She’s- She’s just helping a fellow mystic out with his nightmares.”

“Obb…” Phil looked at Obb. “If you found a girl, don't you think you should-”

“You can’t commit to a girl you’ve been dating for 3 years” Obb rebutted. “What would you know?”

Phil sighed as he was about to knock on the door. Just before Maple opened it smiling at him. He walked and sat down next to Baron. “For the record.” Maple stated. “The hardest part about dating Marc. Is he really good at cleaning up my mess.” Both stared in confusion at Maple as Marc walked in and sat down.

“3 years ago. Maple made me this.” He gestures to the meal. Marc’s standard work lunch… expected. “Not the right sauce.” He confirmed. “She does this as a way of giving advice… I didn’t comment on it that morning. Then I saw Baron’s sandwich. Without honey mustard. ‘I get it’ I thought. Baron’s ain’t gonna commit to not making he his own lunch. Not Baron, and not after 7 years of finally having his own life. Then I was in the bathroom almost all afternoon.”

“And that’s why you comment…. And I’ve been wanting to prove you wrong ever sense.” Baron paused. “Trying to convince myself it’s just a few little things.”

“Both of ya.” Marc continued. “You’ve been on this road, and it just doesn't seem like you two. Now, maybe you like it that way, and okay. But i’m just saying, the hardest part of dating Maple is occasionally I know what I’m doing.”

Both nodded and got up. And while they didn’t realize it, help each breeze through the first stage of the nightmare before meeting with the usual group.

“Okay.” The winged silhouette stated. “My brother is right. I’ve gotta get my life together. And… she isn’t good for that. It pains me to say, but she’s too forgiving. We have to break up.”

“You been talking about this girl every night. Wishing you could be better for her, and hoping she breaks in again.” The beastly silhouette summarized. “You want this girl. So when you get up, you charge for it.”

“Life isn’t always about what we want. It’s about what’s best for us. Making some hard decisions, and making them work.”

“At least you’re committed to something, I guess.” The beastly silhouette stated. Still helping out despite his objections. His chain power proved rather amazing. At times they avoided several turns just from his breaking one wall. Done with the nightmare already Phil jolted awake. Messages from Sophia and Sofia on his phone.
