I don't know what time it is, but I don't really care either as I reach over to grab the water on my bedside table and after I chug it down, I lay back down staring at the ceiling as I close my eyes again.

~~Stiles Mind~~

I open my eyes as I hear music blasting and I get up to look around for Scott trying to be funny. I'm walking down the stairs when suddenly the music sounds like it's coming from my room, and I'm immediately weirded out. 

I turn around walking back up the stairs and into my room seeing some guy sitting down in my desk chair with a stereo on the desk.

I think he realizes I'm here as he moves to turn it off and he turns around. My eyes widen and he smiles standing up. He walks over to me and hugs me asking after he sits back in the chair "do you recognize me?"

I nod slowly stating "You . . . You haven't changed a bit. So, Stuart, we meet again." He smiles again saying "Well I've gotten older, but yeah other than that I'm still the same party all day and night guy."

I laugh sitting down on my bed and ask, "So why now?" His smile disappears before he smiles a small smile answering

"I guess I felt left out. Void being let out and all. I just wanted to join the fun. I mean I couldn't let Void have all the fun."

I smile looking down saying "You really are still the same Stuart and that's very refreshing." He smiles a more genuine smile and asks, "So what the girls name?"

I look at him and respond "Lydia her name is Lydia, but if I remember correctly, I told my imaginary friend in third grade who if I remember correctly was you. I remember saying I have a crush on the girl known as Lydia."

He looks to the side and reaches up rubbing his neck as he answers sheepishly "Uhh yeah now that you mention it. I remember."

I look down shaking my head and I laugh as I hear a quiet distant noise. Stuart then frowns and says "Well just try to let loose every once in a while. See you again soon."

He smiles at me and winks before shifting

He smiles at me and winks before shifting. Changing before my eyes into something similar to how I first saw Void but instead of being more of a black shadow that takes a form of a fox and on occasion human while Stuart is more of bright gold shadow that takes a form of a Raven, and he flaps his wings disappearing the more he flaps his wings. Almost as if he's flapping the shadow to surround him making him disappear.

~~Real World~~

My eyes snap open and I sit up gasping as I look around seeing no signs of the stereo or Stuart. I slowly lay back down once again staring at the ceiling when my phone rings, so I pick it up looking at the caller ID seeing Lydia's picture I answer knowing she'll be upset if I don't "Hey Lyd's, what's up?" 

It's quiet for a second before she says, "nothing much, I was just wondering if I could come over and talk to you? I have some questions that need answering." 

I don't like the sound of that "Uh yeah sure come on over." She says, "Good I'll be there soon." I move my phone from my ear, and I end the call as I feel Stuart has something to do with this.

I'm waiting anxiously for Lydia, and I finally hear a knock, so I make my way downstairs to open the door. 

I step aside to let Lydia in, and she walks in going straight up to my room. I follow after and once I enter my doorway Lydia is facing the door with her arms crossed.

She's glaring at me as she says, "Now talk and no funny business." I heed her words as I sit down on my desk chair and I ask "Alright, what do you want to know." She sits down on my bed and asks, "What did you want to tell Scott and the rest of us?"

I swallow hard but it's become extremely difficult as my throat is suddenly dryer than the Sahara Desert and I decide to just say it "I have DID." 

I'm looking down not wanting to look Lydia in the eyes as I slowly meet her eyes and she says "Oh. Geez now I feel like a complete jerk. I'm sorry I didn't. . . ."

I interrupt her "No, no, I'm sorry, I should have told you guys a long time ago. It just kinda got away from me so it never was a priority. I was also scared and worried about what you guys would think or whatever the case.

I was going to tell you guys, but I just didn't know how or when and when I told myself to make a plan that's when I switched. 

I apparently had you drive me around and I don't remember anything aside from the doctor appointment. Along with also going to a bar and I apologize if I was out of line."

She smiles at me patting the spot next to her and I smile back standing up going over to the spot next to Lydia on my bed as she says "What happened? I mean if you're okay with it." I nod explaining what happened to me and everything else.

I answered all her questions, and she finally stands up stretching as she says "I should probably head home. By the way when do you plan on telling everyone?" I get into bed as I answer, "Tomorrow after school and good night Lyd's sleep well."

She smiles and waves goodbye saying as she leaves "You too Sti, see you later." I smile as I close my eyes going back to sleep and think about how I'm going to tell everyone as I drift off to sleep.
