Rocky’s Confessional:
Well I know there is something wrong with the boy. None of us had really noticed it until now, not even Raven and he spends the most time with him. Jericho is spending more and more time in the kitchen, he doesn’t even like to go out and do things anymore. If he does go out its cause we forced him, or if its to out and eat. Raven is watching him right now.
“Dude you just looked in there like five minutes ago” Raven stresses at Jericho, “what do
you think you’re going to find now that wasn’t there before.”
“I’m just looking for something good” Jericho says, “I may have not had a good idea of
what I was looking for before.”
“Man when was the last time you went outside and did something” Raven questions, “I
mean look at you, your skins losing its color and your getting a little out of shape.”
“Face it hes getting fat” Kevin says over Raven’s shoulder, “hes no longer a person hes a
slug.”
“Hey, I’m in as good of shape as anyone” Jericho says angrily.
“Then why is it that Raven, who was sick for about a month, can lap you in the pool with
out even thinking about it” Kevin asks Jericho.
“I don’t want to hear it any more” Jericho says as he runs huffing up the stairs.
Kevin’s Confessional:
There are going to be serious measures taken around here about Jericho. You know if we were the ones who were paying the food bill, we’d all be broke right now. Its ridiculous, Raven says he goes to the fridge at least 50 times a day, one day he just sat there and watched him. I don’t know what we’re going to do.
“Well I went through one of these fazes once” Buff says sitting in front of the tv. At this
time Jericho is asleep so they have decided to discuss the problem while they can.
“What happened to stop it” Hunter asks.
“My parents got sick of it and put a chain on the fridge and pantry, locked it up tight and
only they had the keys.” Buff explains.
“You know that isn’t a bad idea” Kevin says, “we just need something to chain it with.”
“I’ll go to the hardware store today” Raven says, “Buff can come with me.”
“Well while hes still asleep I’m going to search our room for any provisions he may have
stashed away” Rocky says just having the idea.
“Thats great Rock” Hunter says, “I’ll look in other crevices in the house.”
“Yeah you can start with the couch” Buff says pulling a brownie off the cushion and his
butt.
Hunter’s Confessional:
Well everything got cleaned, but Jericho woke up before Raven and Buff got back. So Jericho made it to the fridge 4 times today. That made Kevin mad so he literally just picked Jericho up and carried him out of the house so he could do something. Raven and Buff have since returned and did the chaining. Oh and we hid his car keys so he can’t go out and buy stuff.
“Well I guess it was kind of fun going to the zoo” they hear Jericho’s voice run through
the front door as he and Kevin come home, “thanks for getting me the shirt man.”
“Hey anything to make you see that there are better things to do than hang out here all
day” Kevin says trying to make the boy realize it himself.
“Did you buy him anything to eat” Rocky asks Kevin sounding kind of worried. Jericho
had just run up the stairs and didn’t even take a glance into the kitchen.
“No, not at all” Kevin says sounding kind of dumbfounded, “he didn’t even ask once if
we were going to eat”
“Thats odd” Hunter says baffled.
“Well not to me” they all look up at Jericho standing at the foot of the stairs, “you can
take the chains down now.”
“You seem oddly calm about all this” Raven says to him.
“Well you guys gave me what I needed” Jericho says as he sits down on the couch.
“And what might that be” Buff questions him.
“Well for the past few months I’ve been taking care of you all, especially Raven and
Hunter” Jericho begins to explain, “not that I didn’t mind it, its just that I started feeling
as if I was the only one and that no one really cared that I was going out of my way to
help these guys.”
“Well I sure noticed” Raven begins but gets cut off by Jericho.
“Yeah but how could you not, I was in your room everytime I thought I heard a noise. Its
just that I guess I wanted someone to care for me like I did for them.” Jericho says seeing
the looks on they’re faces, “no that this was all on purpose, its just the way it happened.
And seeing all that you’ve gone through to make it stop, opened my eyes to see that you
guys do want me to stop.”
Kevin walks up to him, puts his hand on his shoulder and says, “if you ever pull this
again, I will make sure you can never eat again.” With that said everyone scatters, except
Raven.
“Well now what” Raven asks.
“I’ll race you to the pool” Jericho says as they both take off across the livingroom.
