Taking Off Your Mask

Going Home

Today is the last day I can spend with Louise. I decided that I was going to spend the day at the mall with her. Mother let me use her card to take Louise and buy her stuff.

I took her to Build-a-Bear to get her a baby blue bear. Dad had gotten her one a year before he died. She decided to name it after him, Norbert.

We walked around the mall a little longer and went home.

I am sad that this is the last day before I go back. To be honest, I'm scared of living on my own. I'm scared I'll end up killing myself. I don't think Cry knows of my habit. I don't know how he would react at all. I want to believe that he won't say anything about it, but I can't help feeling that he'd just leave me like others.

--Time Skip--
Cry and I packed our bags and started going to the airport. We checked our bags in and walked down to our gate.

Since we arrived an hour early, we played a telltale on Cry's laptop.

The plane arrived within 30 minutes. I turned out that there was something wrong with the plane's engine so they called the technicians to come fix it.

We waited at least three hours for the tech people to get here and another two for them to fix the plane.

Cry had fallen asleep quiet a while ago, and I had been uploading some stuff to Youtube. I'm starting to make some thumbnails for in the future. It's not like I have anything better to do.

Cry had finally started to wake up. "Hmm? What are you doing?" His voice was groggy. It sounded like he was doing an episode of Cry Reads.

"I'm just making some thumbnails. Well, It seems like they're getting done. We should get ready."

"Aww man." We started to gather our things and got on the plane.

I woke up in my bed at home. I thought I was at the airport. Why am I home?

There was a knock at my door. I slowly got up and made my way to the door. I opened the door to see who it was. I was shocked to see who it was.

Ebony walked into my room and sat on the bed. "Hey, Ryan! How have you been?"

"What? Why are you here? More importantly, how do you know where I live?"

"What do you mean? I watch you. You come here everyday."

"Uhhhh..."

"You know what I'm done. You are just so dense," As she said that she stood up and walked over to me, "You know, she hates you. She didn't want you to come to Colorado in the first place. She just wanted you to leave the minute you stepped foot in her house. Also, she will never love you. I've been inside her head. I know what she thinks and what she will do. I am the one she calls 'Dream Cry'. I turn up inside everyone's head. I stay there like a leech. I suck all of your happiness away. That's why I am called Insanity. I can be found inside everyone's head at mental wards. I find hosts and slowly kill them. My companions and I are found at every time you can think of.

Famine is a kitten. She is a skinny cat with no fur. She finds families that will take her in and she slowly kills them and their community.

War is a mutt who thinks everything he believes in is right. He will do whatever it takes to convince everyone his theory is 'correct'.

Death is not who you humans would expect. Humans expect a skeleton in a black robe and a scythe in his hand, ready to take you away. Death can take many forms. He can be the man who crashes into you. the man who shoots you. the disease that infects you. People think that they can cheat Death. Death tells me about those people and I slowly drive them insane. It's quite fun actually.

Anyways, I am not here for you. Yet, at least. I am here to get Mad and Virus. They have protected you far too many times... and they know too much. I will come for them later. When you least expect it.

When you wake you will not remember this, okay? All you remember is the thing about her hating you. Bye! Ily!"

I woke up to the plane going through quite a bit of turbulence. The plane rocked and Ebony grabbed my arm tightly. I don't think she would be tricking me into thinking that she liked me. She wasn't acting like Cheyanne in anyway. It seemed like she was terrified. I looked at her and grabbed her hand.

She looked at me and hid her face. I whispered in her ear, "It'll be alight. I promise."

"Thank you, Cry, for everything. it really means a lot to me."

"It's no problem. I'd do it for you any day."

------------

We landed a little while later and got our luggage. I walked and got my car so Ebony didn't have to walk.

We listened to a band she showed me called A Skylit Drive. I have to admit they were pretty good. It's not quite the type of music I usually listen to, but I actually really liked it.

Traffic is getting quite bad. I wonder if she wanted to come over to my house. It would just be for tonight anyways. "Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to stay over at my house for tonight. The traffic is so bad we probably won't make it to your house till dark."

"Sure. I'd like that. It's lonely at my house anyways. It's big and I only have Rue to keep me company."

(A/N) I'm sorry for not updating for a long time. I worked on this for quite a long time. For a little while I was depressed to the point I would just stay in my room and not do anything. Now I am in San Diego visiting the fam so I won't be able to update nearly as much for like another week and a  half.

Bye fam!
