Dad dragged me to where Joyce was.
Joyce was explaining something about Will talking.
"Talking?" Dad asked.
She explained how it worked and I had a flash back to when I was in the lab.
"Mom, come on, please. You've gotta stop this." Johnathan tried.
"No, maybe he's...It's after him! He's in danger. We have to find him! We-" Joyce tried.
"What exactly was this thing? It was some kind of animal, you said." Dad tried.
"Uh, no, it was...It was almost...human, but it wasn't. It...It had these long arms." Joyce tried. I knew what she was going on about.
"And it didn't have a face did it?" I asked not turning around.
"Yes it didn't have a face." Joyce answered when I turned around. Everyone looked confused.
"I saw it in the lab when I was in there someone wanted me to do something and I took a wrong turn and I saw it." I explained. Dad sat both me and Joyce down on the couch.
"Joyce, Alex, listen to me. Listen to me. After Sarah... I saw her, too. And I heard her. I didn't know what was real. And then I figured out that it was in my mind. And I had to pack all that away. Otherwise, I was gonna fall down a hole... that I couldn't get out of." Dad tried.
"No, you're... you're talking about grief. This is different." I answered.
"I'm just saying that you-" Dad tried.
"No, I know what you're saying, Hop. (hoarsely) I swear to you, I know what I saw. (sniffles) And I'm not crazy." Joyce carried on.
"I'm not saying that you're crazy." Dad answered.
"No... (stammers) You are. (stammers) And I understand, but... God, I... I need you to believe me. Believe us." Joyce tried pointing to us at the last bit.
"Please. (whispers) Please. Listen... I think you should go to the morgue tomorrow and see him for yourself. It'll give you the answers that you need. -But tonight..." Dad tried.
"Oh, God." I answered.
"I want you to try to get some sleep, if you can." Dad tried. Me and dad had left. I stayed with dad in his room because I didn't want to be alone. He also knew that I wasn't up for going to school. That morning I jumped into mikes room through his window when he was asleep because I knew he wanted someone. I layed on the floor next to his bed and thought. A few hours later Karen knocked on the door. She knew I was here.
"Michael Alexander? Hi, honey. How are you two feeling?" She asked.
"I, uh... I don't think I can go to school today." Mike answered.
"Terrible mom." I answered.
" Oh, that's fine, sweetie. I need to drop off Nance, then I'm gonna check in on Barb's parents. Why don't you grab a book or something and come with me? We can stop by the video store on the way back, pick out whatever you want. Even R-rated." Karen explained.
"We think we just want to stay home today. I mean, if that's okay?" I asked.
"Well, are you two sure you're gonna be all right here by yourself?" She asked.
"We think so." Mike answered.
"Okay. But if you need anything, call dad at work. Okay." Karen continues.
"Okay." I answered. She kisses our heads.
"Bye." Mike piped up.
"Bye, sweeties." She answered. Mike grabs his radio and tries to radio Lucas once Karen left.
