Best Dead Friends Forever

7. Dreams Of Euthanasia

RYAN'S HEAD FELT like a whole damn circus, everything was spinning, and his ears rang. What the hell happened? Ryan knew the elevator had crashed but, where were they now? It was a brown blob from what his eyes could see, and suddenly his ears popped and stop ringing at the same time. He heard a quiet grunt, and he felt something warm seep into his mouth, and it ran over his mouth. He moved his hand to his mouth and his vision cleared slightly and he looked at the crimson substance that littered his fingers. Ryan leaned on the door's elevator and he felt too tired to move at all. ¨Is everyone okay?¨ A familiar voice said quietly and Ryan somehow found his voice. ¨I'm okay, I think I've got a nosebleed. I'm really tired, though.¨ A head of brown hair suddenly flashed in in front of his eyes. ¨Oh crap, Ryan, try to stay still. I have to do something, but it's going to hurt a lot, so just breathe. Okay, it's going to be okay, alright? Relax.¨ The brown haired voice said softly, and he felt a soft pressure wipe under his nose bridge and atop his lip. Ryan took a breath and his body suddenly trembled, he slowly grabbed the ground and slid backwards, but a sudden pain shot through his body and he yelped in pain. ¨Hey, it's okay, it's okay, Ryan, I'm here to help. Breathe Ryan, it'll be okay. Let me help you.¨ The voice said, softly squeezing Ryan's shoulder in a comforting way. Ryan felt himself relax and he couldn't find the strength to move again, so he didn't. ¨Who are y-¨ Ryan said sluggishly and his eyes slowly drooped shut, but he blinked and his eyes slightly opened again. Ryan watched the brown haired guy softly touched the middle of his leg and Ryan whimpered. ¨Sorry, Sorry, but it's going to hurt really bad, I'm going to count down and I'm going to do it, okay?¨ The voice said with a comforting and compassionate tone. ¨Okay.¨ Ryan said weakly.

Suddenly, two steady hands made his right leg angle in a straight line, and Ryan screamed this time, the pain catching him off guard and his eyes shooting open and his anxiety reaching a new all time high. ¨Stop! Let me go!¨ Ryan threw his other leg outwards in a attempt to kick the brown haired person with a voice like butter. He needed to get up, he needed to find Ashur and Mason. He had to save them. So why couldn't he stand? His body was heavy, and he felt like weights were tied to his limbs. ¨Three.¨ The voice said quietly and held Ryan down by using the rest of they're body to hold Ryan down. The leg snapping into the straight line and Ryan screamed and failed, but it was useless. 

¨Two.¨ The voice said quietly as it softly felt down Ryan's leg and finding pressure points, and gently pushing on them making Ryan yelp. After the sound, the voice stopped pressing on them but kept the leg in the same place, while holding Ryan down. ¨Help! Jayden! Mason!¨ Ryan shrieked again and his body suddenly gave out. The weight pressing harder on his body and he sits unmoving. 

¨One.¨ The voice said dryly and Ryan heard a loud snap! Ryan howled and pain and heavy teardrops dripped down his eyes, suddenly, the voice pulled him into a hug and whispered to the crying Ryan. ¨It's okay now, it's all over. You did great. Sssh, sssh, ssh.¨ The voice soothed as it rubbed Ryan's back in up and down motions. Ryan cried and cried, the pain dulling but his emotions finally running their course felt good, actually. The bottle finally shattered into a thousand pieces. ¨Ry, could you go to sleep for me?¨ The voice whispered softly. ¨W-what, b-but J-Jayden and M-M-Mason...¨ Ryan said with a tired tone. He couldn't sleep not now, he had to make sure his friends were okay. If Ryan feel asleep, then he would have abandoned them, and he wasn't about to do that. ¨We are fine, Ry, just close your eyes and breathe.¨ The voice says, hugging Ryan a bit tighter, and moving his hand from his back to head. The voice let Ryan rest his head onto his shoulder and Ryan obeyed and suddenly, the voices soothing whispers became really quiet. The last thing he heard was a voice say ¨Mason?¨

Ryan let sleep take him, for the first time in a while.
