You know that feeling you get when you think: 'oh this'll be a good day, nothing will hold me down, and you start dancing like Pharrell Williams when he did happy? yea well this is not my day. I just found out that my grandmother has been sent to the hospital in icu for her lungs failing i think, whatever that doesn't matter right now, what does why pardon my language: WHY DOES THIS SHIT ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME! ''No!'' i yelled punching the wall outside the hospital, ''damn, pretty i cracked a bone with that last one''. i said so ticked off. ''whoa, whoa!'' Frank said trying to calm me down. ''anger solves nothing, jamir, you know that'' he said making a valid point. ''i know but what if she need surgery, or they found some growth, or blockage, or.. ''Enough!'' Frank yelled. Even if they did what could you do about it huh? you think you're not the only one suffering, think your mother, brother, sisters, or worst of all your grandmother!'' ''uh...'' was i could get out.''how do you think she must feel about this, and even more, about you doing this to yourself after you promised her you wouldn't stoop this low again!'' ''yea but, i hate just standing around and being able to do nothing, this is the world's fault, it did this!'' ''just like it always does!''i yelled. then i broke down and started crying, unable to bear it. ''look, i'm sorry for what i said, but you need to get yourself under control, i'm going to take a rest, let me know if you need anything''. he said fading back into my subconscious. Afterwards i got up and decided i needed a walk, it always calms me, either that or mlp but since the latter is not available, guess i can settle for thinking about it. so that's what i did, i walked and walked and walked some more. for how long, i lost track but never let it be said i didn't calm down.
TimeSkip: 1 hour After leaving the hospital. still Jamir's POV
After i caught the bus to more familiar surroundings, i blew out a puff of cold winter air and continued on with my trek. as i look down at myself, i mentally take note of what i have and if it's noticeable. pretty simple: a tan or pale yellow type of bulky worker jacket, my snapback, levis, and nikes. ''looks good'' i said. more along the i began to think about the one thing at any other time could calm me and give me a sense of purpose: my little pony. I found out about one day while looking through dish tv, and there it was.'' a show about ponies?'' i questioned. at the time i was skeptical, but am i glad i took that chance and watched the episode that started it all for me: Suited For Success. At first i was way behind as i did not know who was who until i had to re-watch it 3 times just to be clear. it taught so much in that one episode alone about the 'so called magic of friendship'. how all the characters interacted, their feelings, attitudes, personalities, etc told me that in a way not too far i was like them. each one of the elements of harmony i represented in one way or the other. my generous nature from Rarity, my laughter from pinkie pie, my honest truth from applejack, loyalty to those who have earned from rainbow dash, slight shyness and kindness and anti social life from fluttershy, and as for magic, well, let's put a pin in that. '' how i yearn to go equestria, if only i could, pretty much impossible'', i said not wanting to fool myself, 'how i would give anything to be there, at least i know the world can work for me there.''if only, if only'' i said shedding a single man tear. ''You ok man?'' Frank asked me out of nowhere.'' F-F-FRANK! how long have you been listening?'' i asked hoping he did not hear me. ''The whole time'' he said looking rather sympathetic smile. ''well, no snarky comment, nothing?'' i asked. ''no'' he said, ''because i want to go with you too.'' he said being completely confident. ''Well while we share the same dream, i'm afraid, that will never happen'' i said with obvious sadness. ''really?'' he asked with smug look on his face. oh no, not this again, oh great another one of his famous: 'uplifting quotes about life'
5 bucks says it's about trying i said in my mind. ''if you don't try, you've already lost. called it i said while hiding a small smile. ''well then professor, how do think we could get to equestria?'' i asked with next to no hope in my voice. ''i don't know, but there has to be a way, we've yet to find it.'' he said. ''huh'' was i uttered. ''well i think we should get back home don't you think?'' i suggested. ''eh'' Frank replied. with that little fiasco taken care, we go to board the next bus that'll take us back, but something feels off about it. it's not the type of feeling you get when you sense danger, more the type when you're unsure if this goes good or bad,and thank you world again for proving me right, it turned out i was right, when i sat down on my seat on the bus started moving pretty fast pretty quick, that's when that feeling was dead, i was going to die from a damn bus malfunction, just great, well be sure to write on my tombstone: the world has.... and that was all i could get before i got pushed out of my seat in the air heading for the window, my last thought before blacking out was: wow... the world is just pissed at me before it faded into black.
