March.

Omniscient

Walking around Walmart Jaxon grabbed a bottle of laundry detergent. It was now March and everyone was finishing up their final exams before their break, after class they decided to go run some errands while it was still day light out.

"Did you need anything bae?" He said wrapped his arms around her waist as they walked over to the grocery section for milk, eggs and whatever else they needed.

"I think we need more water." She said wiggling out of his hold, she took the cart to the water section and grabbed the container of water.

She then put the box into the cart before making her was over to there Jaxon was, she watched him from away as he grabbed the lactose free milk since whole milk made his stomach hurt. He noticed her approaching him and smirked.

"It wasn't too heavy was it?" He asked walking over to the section of eggs and bagels.

"No it wasn't too heavy." She chuckled flexing her arms. "See my muscles." He laughed and shook his head.

"Yeah I see them bae." He said chewing on his bottom lip. "What did you want to cook for dinner tonight?"

Anya shrugged and took the container of eggs away from him before opening them.

"What are you doing ma?" He chuckled pushing the cart to the side so that an old couple could get by.

"You don't check your eggs before you buy them?"

"I mean I'm not usually the one that buys groceries." He chuckled as she smiled a little.

"Oh well, I usually do just to make sure they don't have cracks in them." She said before grabbing a bag of chips and cheese sauce.

After placing the other items into the cart they went down a few more aisles and it felt as if it was becoming crowded suddenly. Anya looked over to see Jax leaning against the shopping cart.

"Hey. You ok?" She asked noticing he was playing with the end of his hoodie, she pulled him to the side and gave him eye contact.

"If you need to switch, it's fine. Go ahead. No ones looking."

He sighed and closed his eyes and his eyebrows furrowed, a few seconds later he opened then and scanned where they were standing.

"Feel better?" She smiled a little making sure he was alright.

"Mhm.. It's Sai." He mumbled moving closer to her as she started to walked toward the registers, the crowds made him nervous.

"It's ok. We'll be out of here in a few minutes." She said as he steadily fidgeted with his hands and his hoodie strings.

Sai hadn't fronted in a while so he was a little confused.

"Anya?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you bake some brownies?"

"Sure I can." She chuckled as they walked out of the door after paying for their items.

Once they got home they changed into comfortable clothes and Anya had fallen asleep on the couch. Sai sat and watched her sleeping while glancing at the tv a few times he just wanted to make sure she was fine.

They all wanted to protect her.

———-

A few hours later.

While Anya was hanging with Makayla, Milo made his way to therapy, he had been feeling like a new alter was going to come so he planned on letting her know.

"Before we get started I just wanted to say that you've really improved over the last few weeks." Brianna smiled as he nodded his head.

"Thank you, I really think the thanks should go to Anya as well.. She's really been keeping me levelheaded but.." He trailed off for a few seconds as he rubbed his hands against his jeans since they felt sweaty.

"Milo? Everything alright?" She said gathering her things to take notes once the session started.

Now sitting in a slouched position he let his elbows rest on his thighs, he then leaned forward and let his hands dangle as he looked around the room, when his eyes landed on Brianna he raised his eyebrows and gave her a once over.

"Milo?" She called putting as she scrunched up his face and shook his head.

"What? I'm not... I'm not Milo."

"Hm.. Ok, so who are you today? Jaxon, Sai? Atlas?"

"I'm none of them... I don't have a name.." He said now twisting his lips to the side, his entire demeanor had changed once calm and relaxed had now turned into angry and straightforward.

"You must like a lot of space doc." He said licking his lips.

"I do, I didn't want my patients to feel closed in so I chose the bigger office." She chuckled as he nodded his head.

"Did you just show up today?" She asked taking notes.

"No, I've been in the back for a while." He said pointed to the back of his head. "Just wasn't the right time for me to show up.."

"So you think now is the time? How are you feeling?"

He shrugged and stared down at the floor. "Very Irritated."

"Why?"

"Because.. Milo... He's just so perfect all the fucking time. Perfect, quiet, never letting us do exactly what we want." He grimaced wiping a hand down his face.

"Well Milo is the host, you're just apart of the system it self so of course he's going to be a good person, maybe some of the things you want to do are dangerous." She said fixing her glasses.

He chuckled before shrugging. "I guess. He needs to loosen up a bit, smoke some weed or something, the man is tense all the time."

Brianna jotted down a few more notes before shaking her head. "I'm not one for drug use so I suggest you find another alternative... How do you feel about Anya?"

He sat up straight as smirked. "She's pretty..do I like her though?" He shrugged. "I don't know just yet.."

"Everyone does. They think she's great-"

"Well I'm not everyone else and quite frankly I don't want to sit in this fucking office talking about problems that'll never be solved.. You can't help us, you don't know what it's like to fight with yourself everyday. There really isn't enough medication in the world that can help us be normal... We never ever will be." He said putting his head down slightly before looking up at her with his now black eyes.

"Is that how everyone feels or just you?" Brianna challenged.

He sucked his teeth before licking his dry lips. "I'm pretty sure I speak for all of us."

No you don't man.

Nah, you ain't speakin for me homeboy.

Ummm, where'd you come from?

Before Brianna could speak again he chuckled.

"Got you shook huh doc?"

"No, not really, I've seen this before..with another patient, their alter had held onto some of the trauma.. you're basically his trauma protector like Jax but you're a lot more straight forward because you've held onto most of his anger."

"I'm not about to sit here and have you read me doc, either you help or I'll find something else they'll help and no ones gonna like us then... Oh and call me Seven.."With that he stood up and swung the office door open before leaving all together.

Driving down the service street Seven felt his phone vibrating in his pocket, noticing Anya's name flash across the screen causing him to roll his eyes.

"Yo?"

"Hey babe. Are you headed home?"

"Yeah. What you wanted?"

"Nothing? I was just wondering when you'd be home. I was making us those toasted sandwiches you like."

"Oh aight. I gotta make a stop and I'll be there."

"Ok I love-". He disconnected the call and dialed a guys number he remember Jaxon getting weed from but he wanted something else.

Meeting up with the plug Seven paid for weed and some Xanax pills, he sat in the car and rolled himself a blunt before smoking some of it, the medication had also worn off and he just didn't want to feel anything in that moment. With low red eyes he headed home, pulling up into the driveway he popped a pill before drinking it down with some water.

Knocking on the door because he didn't feel like using his key Anya answered with a smile. "Hey Milo." He said giving him a kiss on the cheek.

He sighed before closing the door behind him. "Can you not call me that? I'm not Milo baby girl."

"Oh.. well which-"

"Just call me Seven." He mumbled before sitting on the couch.

"Ok Seven well I made us some sandwiches." She smiled passing him a plate with chips and a bottle of water.

"Preciate it." He shrugged before starting to eat the food. "Come sit with me." He said tapping the empty space on the couch.

Anya smiled and sat beside him before flipping through the channels on the tv, she glanced at him as he sat the plate down on the table he leaned his head back and put his hand on her thigh.

"I'm high as hell." He laughed as she made a face.

"What? Did you smoke?"

"Don't worry about what I did. It's none of your business."

"Can I talk to Milo?"

"Nah, you can get me another bag of chips though."

"Excuse me? You got legs I'm not a maid. You're mean and I don't want to be around you like this." She said getting up and turning away from him.

"To be honest I don't wanna be around you either."

She knew that he wasn't Milo but what he said was hurting her feelings, her eyes started to water as she sniffled.

"What's with the crying? Like you never heard someone tell you the truth? You're annoying."

She scoffed and slammed the room door shut.

Seven leaned his head back again before pulling another pill out of his pocket, he popped it into his mouth and laid across the couch. He didn't care about anyone or anything and knew that Milo would have to fix what he just broke.
