//Alans P.O.V//

I woke up to the sound of screaming. It sounded like someone was hurt. I got up and followed the sound. I then heard someone shout

'stop! Leave me be!you're not helping! You can't control me!'

It sounded like 22. I was beigning to get slightly scared. I didn't know if it was him and 28300 arguing or if something else is going on. Once the sound was at its loudest, I found myself outside the bathroom.

'yordan?'

No response.

'LEAVE ME ALONE!'

I heard a sudden loud smash and I kicked the door with all the strength I had, dispute just waking up. The lock on the door broke as I kicked it. I burst the door open and what I saw was absolutely horrifying.

'Yordan! What happened!'

He was on the floor,crying and the mirror was shattered. There was glass everywhere. His nose was bleeding and he had cuts all over his face.

'Yordan...what happened'

He looked up and saw me.

'Listen, A...Alan I can explain!'

He was terrified. He looked really scared. The fear in his face was the most fearful if ever seen him.

'I...'

He continued stuttering before he just fell onto the floor again and broke down into tears. I tried the hardest I could to get him up. It was hard but I managed. I grabbed some tissues and once his nose stopped bleeding,I took him into my bedroom. He looked horrified and there was cuts on his face from the glass. Glass was sticking out of his legs from him falling down onto the glass. I put my hand on his shoulder.

'are you alright?'
'I...I have to tell you guys something I've been hiding...'
'what is it...im listening'
'I...i keep hearing theese voices...and...ive had visions...nightmares..'
'it's okay...what do theese voices...tell you?'
'the truth...that I'm weak...that I can't  defend myself, that Im not a good enough friend for you! It's the truth!'
'Yordan...thats far from the truth...you are a strong person... You're an amazing friend...we love you...for who you are...we need you. You're the toughest one out of us all. It's this voice that's weakening you! You aren't who it says!'
'I...just...'
'i know....its alright...youll be okay...we're all here to support you! We won't leave you...no matter what happens...all of us will be by your side'

Yordan then hugged me and sobbed. He was at a weak and emotionally draining point. I hugged him back and sort of pulled him onto my lap and held him close. He sobbed like a small child for a really long time. He tried to calm himself down but he just kept crying. I felt so bad for him. Seeing him that way made me want to cry myself but I had to hold back from doing so, for his sake. Once he had managed to calm down, he got up but immideatly fell back down. I rushed to him and helped him up. He seemed tired. I picked him up and laid him back on the bed.

'stay here...dont move...im gonna go clean the glass up so noone else gets hurt and then I'll bring you something that'll help.'
'my whole body hurts...'
'youre cut all over...and youve got glass stuck in your face...ill get it out once I've cleaned up, alright?'
'okay...'

I went to the bathroom and sweeped up the glass. I knew I had to go get a new mirror now but there were more important thins to worry about. Like taking care of Yordan. He needed me. Once I got done, I went into my storage room and took out a small bear. It was something I had growing up and it helped me through a lot. I was hoping it would make yordan feel a little better. I walked back in the room and gave it to him.

'whats this...Alan?'
'it's...something from when I was a child. It helped me through the hardest of times. I was hoping, it would make you feel better'

He took it and held it close.

'it makes me think of one I had...as a kid...my parents...they would fight constantly...mine helped me through that...'

He still lie there but he was holding the bear close.  I ahev to admit,it was childish that I gave him a bear to comfort him but I knew it would help. I got up and he was laid there, asleep.
