"Gabe...you're not writing another Timeline Omega submission again, are you...?"
Gabe was at his computer desk again, shaking furiously as he slams his keyboard.
"This bitch...this lying BITCH! I just can't help it! She just makes me so MAD sometimes!"
"Gabe...stop making that face...it's scary...come to bed, okay?" P-chan said quietly, slowly approaching Gabe while grasping her teddy bear.
P-chan reaches her arms around Gabe, giving him a gentle hug to calm him down.
"I know how you feel, Gabe...she makes me frustrated with her schedules sometimes too...but she's trying her best, you know? You know what our therapist said...it's best to not get too mad over this stuff. Now come to bed with me...it's cold there without someone to hug..."
Gabe closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

P-chan's face lit up like a star, her smile bright as a diamond.
"Thank you, Gabby-pie."
The two walked over to their bed, P-chan refusing to let go of Gabe's arm. As the two snuggled in bed, Gabe reached over P-chan to turn off the light by their nightstand. P-chan reached over to give her lover a goodnight kiss.
"Goodnight, P-cham..."
"Goodnight, Gabe..."

"Fuck, fuck fuck! Please...tell me it was real...please..."

Gabe searched sporadically, hoping to find something, just something. A teddy bear, maybe. A sock. Anything. Losing hope, he reached over to his nightstand, grabbing the last cigarette from his worn box. With one deep inhale, Gabe curls over on his bed, with tears beginning to run from his eyes.

"It was just a dream..." he whimpered.
"It was just a dream..."
