xp_daytripperYou lot are barely back three days and the shit's hitting the fan again.
I know Manuel's a right prick sometimes, and I know there are people who think I'm in some kind of thrall to him because of his powers, but I'm going to say this any way. He's going to break if you lot don't stop pushing him. If you can't stomach the sight of him, fine, keep the fuck away from him, but don't go out of your bloody way to torment him. He's on the edge right now, and it won't take much to push him over into doing something really stupid. But on the other hand, those of you without a beef, don't leave him on his own too much. He might be telling you to leave him alone, but so did I, and we all know how well that ended.
Actually, we don't all know, so let me tell you.
I'm a junkie. There was a power source at the mansion whilst I was there that was too big for me to handle, and I got hooked on me mutant power. That's why the mood swings, the glitter, the weird shit I pulled on occasion, even the potion - when I was off me face I couldn't think straight. The source went away around the same time I was hiding from people about the potion, and I thought I could deal with it on me own, but I couldn't.
I've seen junkies, on the streets, and I know what they do to people for a fix. I din't want to be that, which is why I went to so much trouble to push everyone away so I couldn't hurt them. And all the time I was getting withdrawals, and using anything I could to make the pain go away. It dind't go away, and I got to feeling worse and worse about meself, until one night I couldn't take it any more and I tried to jump off the roof. Angelo stopped me, and thank fuck he did.
I ain't telling you this to get sympathy or nothing, I'm telling you this because the thing that got me through, that will keep getting me through, is people being there for me, even when I didn't want them to be. We might say we want to be left alone, but that's the last thing we need. And I can see Manny going to same way, and it ain't even his fault. It's his powers, adn that's why we're here, ain't we? Because we need help with what we can do? So why shouldn't he be any different?
