Wrong Place, Wrong Time (18+)
17: Demoted
A few days go by. Jay manages to avoid his bullies by going to the rooftop during lunch and leaving school early. He’s scared of seeing them in the lunchroom so he doesn’t even get food to eat
Nina (Jays Friend)
Come on Jay, you have to eat something. You can’t just go hungry because you want to avoid them
Jay Ito (ML)
Don’t worry Nina, I will make sure to have a big meal when I get home
Nina (Jays Friend)
Hmm, alright. You better not be lying to me *pinches his cheeks*
Jay Ito (ML)
Hey! Ouch! That’s still hurts you know *laughs*
Nina (Jays Friend)
*stops* oh right…sorry about that
Jay Ito (ML)
It’s fine, really ☺️
Nina (Jays Friend)
*looks at watch* oh gosh! I’m going to be late for my softball meeting that I scheduled during lunch! I really am such a bad captain 😣
Jay Ito (ML)
No you aren’t Nina! You are amazing! Now go on before your late
Nina (Jays Friend)
Will you be alright on your own?
Jay Ito (ML)
Yeah! No one knows we have access here so I won’t be bothered
Nina (Jays Friend)
Alright, make sure you lock the door when you go back to class *leaves*
The day goes on and school finally ends. Jay makes it home without running into anyone. He is surprised to see his father siting on the sofa with his arms folded
Jay Ito (ML)
Hello father, you are home early today. Is everything alright?
Mr. Ito (Jays dad)
Ha, is everything alright you ask? I don’t know Jay. Would you say someone would be okay if they just lost their job?
Jay Ito (ML)
Huh? What do you mean?
Mr. Ito (Jays dad)
*stand up and gets close to Jay* tell me son, what have you been up to lately? Have you complained to anyone about what happened to you the other day?
Jay Ito (ML)
*remembers that time in the principals office* Yes…well, Nina insisted on getting justice for me, but nothing really happened. The principal couldn’t do anything. Why? Is everything…
Jays cheek suddenly becomes hot as Mr. Ito slaps him across the face. It was the first time his father has actually been physically violent towards him
Mr. Ito (Jays dad)
YOU FOOL
Jay Ito (ML)
*gasp from the sudden impact* Fa…father. Why did you just…
Mr. Ito (Jays dad)
*slaps him again, yelling* I told you not to say anything about what happened! Your useless complaint has caused me to be demoted!
Jay Ito (ML)
*crying* what do you mean?
Mr. Ito (Jays dad)
One of your bullies is the son of the CEO for the company I work at
Jay Ito (ML)
*sniff sniff, crying* what? Who are you talking about
Mr. Ito (Jays dad)
James Tanaka. Does the name ring a bell
Jay Ito (ML)
*hand over swollen cheek. Eyes go wide*. You…you mean that…
Mr. Ito (Jays dad)
Yes, that bully of yours complained to his father and caused me to be demoted to a mere front desk agent. I was so close to being promoted a supervisor in the sales department. Do you know what I have to do now?
Mr. Ito (Jays dad)
SHUT UP. I now have to transfer phone calls, great guest, and be at everyone’s beck and call. *screaming at Jay* they got me doing double the work for nearly half the pay I was doing originally
Jay Ito (ML)
*sobing* I’m sorry father…I…I didn’t think that
Mr. Ito (Jays dad)
ENOUGH, how do you think I will be able to afford this house? Things were already difficult once your mother past away, but I was able to manage things in order to care for you. And what do I get in return? A stupid omega who gets father demoted for opening his mouth *hits Jay on his mouth*
Jay Ito (ML)
AHH *starts bleeding*
Mr. Ito (Jays dad)
Ha, that reminds me, how do you think I will be able to afford your omega suppressants? What about all those other medications that you have to take? Huh? TELL ME?
Jay Ito (ML)
I’m sorry *crying*
Mr. Ito (Jays dad)
Get out of my sight. I don’t want to even look at you right now
Jay runs into his bedroom and cry’s over what just happened
Jay Ito (ML)
💭 it’s my fault. Everything is my fault. If only I just kept quiet about the situation. If only I didn’t provoke James into getting my father demoted. Maybe I should beg him to get my fathers job back. Maybe that will work
Instead of going to the rooftop like usual, Jay goes to the cafeteria to look for James. He looks around hoping he can get a glimpse of Andrew as well
Jay Ito (ML)
💭 Ah, I forgot, the principal told me that Jay took a leave of absence 😔 I just hope he is doing well
Nick (Bully 2)
Well well well, look who we have here 😈
Jay Ito (ML)
*was lost in though so he was startled by seeing Nick* umm…hello…I
James Tanaka (Bully 1)
*appears behind Nick* wow, it’s actually him! Where have you been buddy? We missed you 😈
Jay Ito (ML)
*trembling* I ah..I was wondering if I can…if I can have a word with you James
James Tanaka (Bully 1)
Why of course Jay, anything for you *smirks* follow us
Jay Ito (ML)
Actually…maybe we can just talk here
James Tanaka (Bully 1)
Oh that won’t do, we should go somewhere more private. Isn’t that right Nick?
Nick (Bully 2)
hehe, absolutely
Jay is forced to follow them into the same bathroom that bullied him in before
James Tanaka (Bully 1)
Alright, what is it that you wanted to say
Jay Ito (ML)
*kneels to the ground in a begging position* please, give my father back his job
James Tanaka (Bully 1)
HAHA, this is priceless *takes a picture of Jay begging him*
Nick (Bully 2)
*shocked* what did you just say?
Jay Ito (ML)
*tears fall, still begging* please, my father will be forced to sell our home. And he won’t be able to afford my…umm…my anti depression pills (💭that was close. I almost said my omega suppression pills. But it’s not like I lied. Dr. Haruno also prescribed me anti depressants when he was evaluating my mental health)
Nick (Bully 2)
💭what? James made his father loose his job? Not only that but he takes anti depressants? Since when?
James Tanaka (Bully 1)
Aww, poor Jay 🥺, now please explain to me, how in the world is that my problem 😂
