POV-Sunny
"Do you want to save Basil? 👉Yes No"

My hand shakes as I reach for the door handle. After learning about the truth, fear took a hold on me. Although I'm frightened to see Basil after knowing what we have done, I feel that I need to be there for him. No matter what...
The door screeches as I slowly swing it open to reveal my best friend staring out a window. The cold blue moonlight makes his shape easy to spot although there is not much else in this room that would be standing in the way. With a churning stomach I softly walk towards him. A floorboard creaks and he turns around to spot me. I can't see much of his face but his gaze still makes me uneasy.
"Ah...Sunny...it's just you..." He weakly smiles at me like everything is ok, but now...I know it's not.
"I'm glad you came." I wrap my hands around my stomach to try and stop the pain but it's no use, I'm here now and I have to deal with that.
"It's..." Why is he hesitant? "It's so good to see you." My body starts to slightly tremble.
"It came to you that day..." He looks away from me, before continuing his sentence.
"The day Mari died." Why must he bring her up, I don't want to think about that. It hurts me too much.
"When Mari...When Mari fell..." My mind twists at that memory, I still can't believe how long I forgot about it.
"You...You couldn't have done it." He fiddles with his own hands, while looking down.
"It was Something behind you...wasn't it?" I start regretting my idea to come in here. Since when did he think this?
"You're a good person, Sunny." How could he believe himself right now. He's seen what I've done to my sister yet he believes in this lie. Maybe that's how he has coped throughout these years, but it still makes it no better.
"I know you're a good person!" He looks me dead in the eyes and sends a shiver up my spine.
"A good person wouldn't do something like that..." His voice becomes shaky and unsure. He turns back around to gaze out the window, but I know that the truth is hard to face.
"After all this time...you've finally come back for me." My head pounds as I realise what I've made him go through. He has had to deal with knowing what truly happened that night for four years all by himself. I'm so sorry Basil...
"But...tomorrow...you're going away." I should have never left him alone, I should've been there for him.
"H-HOW COULD YOU DO THAT!?!?" He raises his voice at me, clearly hurt by my actions.
"That's mean, Sunny. That's so mean!" No words could describe the pain I felt as I watched him cry. He walked towards me filled with the same hesitation I had before.
"Ah...There's something all around us now." He looks around and then looks straight back at me.
"Can you see it, Sunny?" As if triggering it I start seeing shadowy figures appear on his walls staring down at me.
"There's no way out of this, is there?" He says in a slight joking manner, but it makes me even more uneasy. I slowly step backwards in fear of the unstable boy standing in front of me. Wanting a way out i turn to open the door and leave but Something blocks my way not letting me leave.
"Where are you going!?" He grabs my wrist and turns me around causing me to be afraid.
"Stop trying to leave me!" His grip tightens on my arm making me want to leave more. Being here hurts to much, I never wanted to face the truth I just want everyone to be happy.
"S-Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!" I can feel him shaking while yelling at me. I feel bad for him but at the same time all I want to do is get out of here! He lets go of my wrist and runs away from me like he was shocked in what he just did. Taking a few more steps back, he turns around to face the window and his breathing becomes heavier.
"I don't...want to be...alone...not again." He trembles as I'm filled with nausea.
"You can't...leave me...again..." We both stand there in silence until I decide to walk towards him unsure of what else to do. He turns wearily towards me and says "No...You wouldn't leave me." I couldn't believe he would lie to himself this often. I've locked myself away for years and yet he still believes I wouldn't leave him.
"That's not like you Sunny!" I must've changed then, if something wasn't at the door, I would probably walk out right now. Like I did four years ago, and the other night.
"It's something behind you again, isn't it?" He keeps bringing up this stupid lie. He needs to accept that I'm a horrible person, he needs to learn that I'm the one choosing to hurt him!
The shadows from his wall morph off into some kind of monster and surround Basil. "It must be his something..." I think to myself as I notice it looks like it's going to eat him whole.
"Ah! there it is now!" He appears unfazed by the monster as it must be a normal thing for him. Although he does ask for confirmation from me as he asked "Do you see it too?"
"Stay away! Stay away from Sunny!" He stands in front of Something as if he was sacrificing himself to save me. He glares upwards at me clearly crying. I've caused him so much pain and now he is willing to get hurt to protect me.
"I'll protect you no matter what, Sunny. You can count on me!" Something wraps itself around him further gripping itself onto him.
"When something killed Mari...When something ruined all of my photos..." My heart ached at this. He truly believes I didn't do it.
"I didn't say anything...I didn't want people to think it was you, Sunny." He's done all of this to protect my reputation-? He's put himself through years of even more unnecessary pain and repetitive bulling just for some shitty reputation.
"Sunny...Sunny wouldn't...do something like that." Stop denying it, I've done that for too long and I know that it does nothing! I contemplate saying something, but the thought of talking to him after four years of suffering made me want to throw up. We stare at each other in a painful silence knowing that this will not end well.
"Don't worry, Sunny...I'll save you again." I see his grip tighten on a pair of garden shears in his left hand. Tears roll down his cheeks as he tries to reassure me.
"Something behind you...I'll get rid of it once and for all!" Knowing that if he tries to hurt something he'll hurt me, I stumble backwards now even more frightened of the boy I spent my childhood with. A cold feeling shook me from behind, I looked behind me to find something trying to push into Basil.
"Sunny...don't be scared." His posture tightened from fear as he tried to reassure me.
"I'm scared too...but this is for the best." My breathing shakes as I see something towering over me, it's unblinking eyes stares into my soul. I turn to face the flower boy as he once again claims that "Everything is going to be okay..." I back up into my something as there is nowhere else to run.
"Everything..." He exhaled. Basil's something quickly grips around my version and rips us both into it.
It's arms wrap around me enclosing me inside of it, insisting me to be near my old friend.
"Is going...to be okay..." His voice shakes as he straightens his posture. Tears stream down his darkened face as he stands above me.
"I don't wanna to fight Basil!" I think to myself as he reminds me of what I have done. I try to calm down but my lungs fought to breath. Basil's eyes were burning red from crying, though he kept going. My mind races as I want to run away. After all I never want to fight Basil...but I think this is the only way I can save him. I try to focus but nausea overwhelmed me. His stare makes my knees quiver below me, making me feel new levels of fear and uncomfort. Basil questions our situation.
"Sunny...There's no way out of this is there?" His blue eyes having a glassy effect after crying for so long. I try to persist, but I couldn't hold steady. My heart races inside of my chest causing a strong pain. To be honest I might cry alongside with Basil.
"Tell me Sunny..." He looks slightly beside me, "Am I selfish for doing this?" How could he ever think that? He's quite literally sacrificing himself for me. You don't deserve this Basil...I shove him further away, trying to escape.
"Sunny..." He sighs, "Do you hate me?" He tries pushing me onto the ground but I push his arms off of me and punch him in the eye.
"Please...stop it..." He begs. I feel horrible for doing this, but I can't do anything else. I grab his wrist to I rip the shears out of his hand and I try to push him away.
"Stop struggling, Sunny..." He tries grabbing my shears but I slap his hand away, scared of what he would do to me once he gets a hold of them.
"I'm...I'm so tired." I aimlessly slice in front of me to try and get Basil further away from me accidentally cutting his face.
"Please...stop it..." He begs as I cut him again and again as an attempt to keep him away.
"Why?! Why won't you stop?!" He yells as he grabs his shears off of me. My heart races as I try to run away but he quickly grabs my arm and holds me back.
"Everything...will be ok." He forces cold metal through my eye leading for me to pass out in his arms.
