Seto's Past

The words

I put my hands over my ears, close my eyes and start screaming, some students and teachers look out to see what's going on but go back in and ignore me. I start pushing my feet on the floor but the wall behind me is in the way so I just keep screaming. I start hearing over voices so I stop and listen, my breathing is fast and I can't stop because my lungs are screaming for air. I hug my knees and start rocking back and fourth, I can hear someone get down to my level before putting their hands on my shoulders. I scream again and try to kick them but some more hands come in and hold me down. My eyes are still closed so I can't see who it is so I keep trying to kick and hit them. "Seto stop its me Brice!" The voice yells. I don't know what's going on, I can't remember anything and I can't open my eyes. I stop moving when the person talking gets on top of me, I try to calm down but I'm too scared, I don't know what they'll do to me. "Please don't hurt me." I say. "We're not going to hurt you Seto, I'd never hurt you." The voice explains.

I slowly open my eyes, closing them when the lights are too bright, once I open them I see Brice sitting on top of me, and all my friends looking at me scared. "Brice, what happened?" I ask him. "I don't know, we came out of class and you were In the hallway freaking out." He explains. All I remember was....the note in my locker... "Can I get up now, your kind of hurting me." I tell him. "Sorry." He says before getting off me and helping me up. "Don't you remember any of what just happened dood?" Ian asks. I shake my head no and they all look at each other with concern.

For lunch we thought it would be better to eat outside instead, every once in a while I would see one of my friends look at me concerned or even scared. "What did I do?" I ask, they all look at me. "Nothing dood, we're just worried about you that's all." He explains. "Yeah man you really gave us a scare back in the hallway homie." Crainer tells me. Adam stands up and looks at me smiling, "We've all been talking about it and we decided we want you to join our group!" He says excitedly. I tilt my head in confusion and Ty explains further. "We have a group for fun, when we're older we are planning to buy a house together, we call is Team Crafted." He says. I smile and look around at all my new friends before answering. "I'd love too." (They are 17 right now, well some are younger and then there's Seto who is like 600 lol)

~6 years later~

I've been having bad dreams again, ones that involve my dad. He sent me a letter yesterday saying if I kiss Brice ever again he's going to kill all my friends so I've become a bit distinct from Brice and I think he's noticing. All the guys decided it would be fun to live stream with our subscribers so that's what we're doing right now.

We were playing hunger games and right now and the last people left are Brice and I. The count down for the death match started and I grabbed my diamond sword I had saved. There was some commotion in the chat so I looked, I froze when I saw the chat was filled with the words 'everyone leaves, everyone dies' I tried to move but I couldn't think. Are the words real? Am I just imagining it? Unfortunately, Brice took this chance to kill me and I lost the game. I ran to my room, Brice follows me. No I'm not mad about the game, I'm scared of those words that keep popping up everywhere I go. "Seto, it was just a game." Brice says grabbing my arm and making me look at him, I yank my arm out of his grip and slowly back away from him. "It wasn't the game, its those words, I keep seeing them everywhere and its scaring me!" I yell. Brice looks disappointed. "Seto its just a hash tag come here." He says opening his arms into a hug. "That's not what I saw, I'm not crazy!" I yell louder. "I didn't say you were." He says coming closer to me, I let him hug me but I don't hug back. "My dad said if I kiss you again he'll kill you." I tell him. "Your dad is in jail Seto, that won't happen." He says, he leans in and kisses me, I kiss back. I push him away and run into my room and close the door, locking it to keep them from getting me out.

I spent weeks in my room crying, I would have nightmares every night, sometimes I would see things that weren't there but I would always see those words. It wasn't till Brice knocked on my door and begged for me to come out that I opened the door. The guys were surprised to see me out of my room but they were also happy. I never told anyone about the words, never have never will. I'll always see them but the worst that will happen is I freeze up for a few minutes or just flinch. I still don't know if I'm crazy or not and I won't know for a very long time when someone I thought I'd never see again tells me.

Everyone leaves, everyone dies. The words first spoken by a child when they lost so much, the words that follow him through his whole life reminding him of all the bad things that can happen to us, the words that I spoke when my Mom and Dad died that night 600 years ago.

The words I'll say before I die....
