The end || ANGST STORY (+ Hazbin Hotel fanfic)

Out of mind

Anthony POV:

I knew something was off when Arackniss randomly burst in my room but, holy fuck. I knew I'd heard Simon's name before. It was in the letter, and Alastor was talkin' about him once too. I had almost completely forgotten about him. He went missing when we were little kids so it's not like I was too attached or even old enough to really care. Shock and horror aside, Arackniss ruined my night. If he hadn't come in here with his detective level questions, I'd have Alastor screamin' my name by now. Now back to shock and horror: this was a lot.. how am I supposed to just go about my day when my boyfriend's dad has my brother's childhood best friend in his attic?! See, anyone who just read that would be worried because that SURE AS HELL is NOT a normal sentance. I would talk to the police but I don't wanna get in Al's dad's bad side- hell, I don't even know the guy's name yet! I hate not being able to do shit in these situations. Rotten adults can just truly get away with whatever they want in life, can't they. It's not fair. God, I don't even know the kid and I still feel messed up inside knowin' that he'll probably die up there. My hands are shakey as I think about what I can do. Everyone in the room is disturbed. I could really use mom's  advice right about now.. I wonder if dad could do something, I know he isn't interested in shit like this but there's gotta be something he can tell me to help me feel better.. I hate that I'm still hoping he'll one day be there. The room is quiet. Everyone's just letting this sink in. It's driving me crazy, if it stays like this I won't be able to breathe, it litterally feels like the air is heavy. "Alastor, when do you have to head home?" I ask, changing the subject. He doesn't look any happier though. "Before nine, I believe. Otherwise I'll get locked out" he speaks like that's happened before. His life sounds awful, and I know I ain't one to talk but it just makes me so hurt to hear stuff like that. Why do I even care though? It doesn't really effect me at all. Why does it bother me so much? It's eating me alive..
"It is getting late.. for the greater good ,you really should head home" Arackniss warns him.  Alastor nods sadly and gets his things. My stomach hurts and my chest aches. Is this really the mood we're leaving off on? "Al, are ya sure ya wanna leave so soon?.." I ask nervously. I already knew what the answer was though. He shakes his head "No, Arackniss is right.. I don't want to upset my father after all.. Micheal is not a merciful man" he says dreadfully. Atleast I know his name now. Focus! Shit, Al's prolly right.. fuck knows what his dad's like when he's mad, I mean this is the kind of guy who kidnaps children after all. I wonder what else he's done.. at the same time though, I don't really wanna know.. it's probably more dark than any of us could imagine and I've already heard enough scary stories for one night. I wonder what Simon's life has been like for the past decade. I can't imagine what he's goin' through. Hell, it's probably worse than my pops even. That's probably really shitty of me to say though, I shouldn't compare these kinds of experiences. Alastor headed home and Arackniss disappeared into his room. I'm alone in the dark now. I can't believe I had just forgotten about Simon like that though. I guess that old sayin' about things that go outta sight is true. If it is, than that's so much darker than I would've expected. Are the police even still searching for Simon? And what if it's bad when they find him, like he goes home and his parents don't love him as much because he's a mature 15 year old now. I bet Arackniss is more scared than I am though. Simon was his best friend after all, and even after all this shit if Simon gets found and Micheal goes to jail or something, what if Simon doesn't even wanna be Arackniss' friend anymore? No matter what happens, I gotta make sure I protect my brother. I'm not letting anything happen to him ever again. If something similar to what Simon's goin' through ever happened to him, I wouldn't forgive myself.
