"I thought you learned" I heard the voice say

"DEVON!" I yelled and pushed him to the ground.
"Will what the heck!" He asked.

"T-The guy was out across the field and he he had a gun..." I started to cry

I looked back and none was there, it was if he was not real. What was going on? Why is this weird thing happening to me?

"H-he's gone" I mumbled out loud.

Devon sat me down again and just had me explain everything again in detail.

"Will I know this isn't my place or right to ask but have you every been on medication?" He asked

"Not really, see I was told to take some stupid stress relievers mixed with a sleeping pill a few years back when I- when something's happened. But I never did take them..." I explained

"Okay, see why I was asking is I have a friend who is on a Schizophrenia medication and when he doesn't take his doses he will start to see people like this, I have spent many nights with him just to make sure he's okay." He sighed

"Well I don't have that! I haven't ever experienced this or anything like it before- well once, but it's not like daily!" I snapped

"Once before?" Devon asked

I sighed, why did I say that?

"If I tell you, please don't assume I'm like my messed up family." I whisper

I saw Jordan and Julio come back out and sit with us, I didn't say anything, I just started the story I've tried so hard to forget.

"So in high school, when I realized I was gay, I started dating my best guy friend, his name was Eden." I took a deep breath "after about a half a year of us dating I told my parents, bad idea, they blew up at both of us and started telling us we had to be helped or we would be dragged to hell."

I heard Julio mumble something under his breath about how discussing it was that my parents told me that, and truthfully it was.

"They ratted him out to his also very religious parents, and his parents went to the priest of our church. I knew something bad was going to happen to us but I didn't know what." I continued "they allowed us to still see each other and so we decided to go out to a park and just enjoy the sunset together. That evening when we were headed back home, four men who I recognized from our church jumped us - they made us do things and later that night they shot Eden in front of me. I should have left home then I know I should have"

I had my head on my knees I wanted to never remember that night.

"I know who I keep seeing now, it was the guy who shot Eden that night..." I whispered.

I soon had all three of them hugging me until I could barely breath. They decided it would be best to take me back to the house, I kept telling them all I didn't want to ruin their fun. But they insisted on staying with me.

Later at night around 2 am I laid in the room I was sharing with Jordan, I curled up next to him and started to draw random patterns with my finger on his arm.

"I don't want something bad to happen to us" I whispered.

"Don't worry Will, nothing will happen, your parents can't control you anymore, and you are stuck with me for a long long time." He gave me a warm smile and kissed me.

"I love you Jordan," I told him

"I love you too Will" he said and pulled me into a closer cuddle.

'I don't want something bad to happen to us Eden.'
'Don't worry Will, I love you and will protect you'

'Remember this next time you sin'
'Eden!'
'No! You fucking killed him you monster'

'Remember Willy, I will always be there to make sure you are a good Christian boy'

'You set this up! For him to die!'
'He was the devil and he was making you do bad things, he had to die'

I woke up in a fit of screams and tears, I knew I was going to be questioned by everyone in the morning. Jordan sat up and kissed me,

"It's okay, it's just a nightmare" he whispered.

I started to quietly and softly cry into his shoulder, I didn't want to worry him or anyone else.
