Elias's pov
I lay awake in my bed as the events of the past three weeks ran through my head. It goes without saying that with so much happening in a relatively short time frame, things can get a bit overwhelming. It was nice at times, though. Very nice sometimes.
First, I remembered when Dan got home and snapped at me. Looking back on it, I think my parents knew he was almost home. It wasn't like them to put up such little fight. They weren't as hurt or as scared as they put on. I know they weren't because I know the real them better than anyone and I know they have a plan to get back at me or they never would have been dragged away so easily by police. I'm trying not to think about it.
I remembered my time living on the streets. I was so hungry through most of it but I spent most my time trying to think about how to get Dan to let me back in even for a day. I didn't bother trying to find out how to survive out there, all my thoughts were about my brother.
I remembered the day Joe found me. An unknown man had showed up randomly. I remember the first thing he did was ask what someone so young and cute was doing out on the streets alone. I knew instantly what was about to happen but he got me on the ground before I could get away. He sat on top of me to hold me down and blindfolded me. I tried to call for help but I knew it was pointless. Nobody ever went out this late. Well, nobody good. He held both my hands above my head with only one of his and started rubbing his other all over my body. I never did see what he looked like hardly because the blindfold but I certainly felt him alot that night. I got so scared when I started hearing gunshots thinking it was probably a robber or worse. I took the blindfold off as soon as I didn't feel the guy anymore and was relieved to see Joe running over to me.
I remembered my time with Jay and Joe. I never even thought to go over to Jay's place because I was so focused on being with Dan again. I loved my time with them. Me and Jay were always joking around which tended to annoy Joseph a lot but he was really nice. I'm glad me and him spent some more time together. I wish I didn't lose it at the end but they don't seem to be scared of me in any way. Hell, they moved in with me. It makes me feel a little better about what happened.
I remembered staying at Stephen's place. I felt so many emotions all at once while over there. I loved seeing Gavin and Joey again and hearing them for the first time in years. Not much has changed about them. Gavin was still as annoying as ever yet I just couldn't help but fall in love with him all over again. And Joey, where do I even begin with him. I kept trying to avoid him alot still scared I'd hurt him again, even more so after my outburst with Jay and Joe, but of course Joey's gonna do what Joey wants to do. I went along with it accepting he wasn't gonna leave me alone but that doesn't mean I didn't like it any less. Hearing him tell me that he wasn't scared of me made me feel a bit better but he never made it fully clear if he'd actually forgiven me. One night I finally gave in. I remember waking him up in the middle of the night never even saying a word and just hugging him crying. He was really worried Stephen had tried to attack me but I think it hurt him more when he realized why I was actually crying. After that, I started clinging to him alot. He made me feel safer just like Jay had always done.
Finally, I remembered hanging with Ajay and Anne. Ajay and I were always pretty close being my brother's boyfriend and the only one who knew of the abuse. He made sure I was comfortable and checked in on me often. I'm not surprised since he also knew about the bad habits I had when I got upset like not eating, eating then making myself throw it up, and cutting myself. Anne checked in with me alot, too. She always made sure I had everything I needed though, unlike Ajay, she didn't always notice when I wanted to be alone.
And now I'm finally free from my parents. Free from all the pain and torture but then why do I still feel afraid and like I constantly need to look around? Why am I still not eating or sleeping despite being so tired and hungry? I know it's not gonna go away overnight but shouldn't I feel some sort of relief. Shouldn't I feel just a little bit safer or happier.
I decided to go get a glass of water from the kitchen. I opened the window for some fresh air to kinda clear my mind as I thought about everything.
As I stood in the kitchen, I heard someone else walk in
Alright now at this point you have a choice. There is a bad ending, a really bad ending, and a good/canonical ending. You can unlock the "insanity" ending, the "broken" ending, or the "beloved" ending.
Who do you want to walk in?(No cheating to find out which ones right)
A - Jay💛
B - Daniel💚
C - Joseph🧡
Choose wisely for their futures are in your hands.💔
