Recovery

The recovery from this pill was a little bit more harsh than my others. Mainly because, immediately after I transformed back, I was brought into an interrogation room where Ms. DeVille yelled at me for about 20 minutes about letting Danny escape. I tried to tell her it wasn’t my fault and that it was the pill, but she didn’t believe me.

“Just because you’ve been pilled does not mean you are a different person. Trust me.” She said, almost with an aura as if she knew more than she was letting on. “You are just as much of a pushover as a man, as you are as a woman.”

Those words sat with me on the entire drive home. How true were they really? Jenny and Ben are two very different people, right? There way no way as a man I’d do any of the things that I would as a woman! It’s just.. it’s the pills. DeVille was just being harsh because Danny got away, which I totally understand.

I got a small buzz on my phone and when I picked it up it was a message from Autumn and my hard started to sink. “Fuck.” I whisper as I try and unlock my phone and… did I forget my password? No. No it’s just… I’m just stressed. Right? After a couple different combinations I was able to unlock my phone and read her message.

“Hey baby~! Are you still up for helping me study today?”

I had totally forgotten that I promised her I would come over today. She had been taking online classes to get her degree in communications, which is what I minored in before law school, and she had a big test on Monday she wanted me to help her study for. Part of me was hesitant, not sure what this pill could have done to me but…

I’m not that dumb, right?

I responded back telling her I was on my way, and quickly leaned up to the cab driver and told her I’d be switching destinations.

“That’d be an extra fee, sweet heart. It’s out of my district.”

“Oh yeah! Sure, of course.” I pull an extra twenty out of my wallet and hand it to her, which she takes with a quick smirk and drives me to Autumns place. It wasn’t until the driver had already driven away did I realize…

There’s no such thing as districts with cabs! I got fucking scammed!
