The Void || BL

Chapter 12 || Blood and Water

Authors POV

Dylan sat on his porch and he stared at the ground. He didn't want to feel. He wanted to cut the pain away. He felt as if he was to blame yet the love of his life was a murderer. A murderer. It felt unreal to hear that. Adam was kind , full of energy yet broken in so many ways but he never wanted to hurt anyone.

"Fuck." He cussed as a tear rolled down his cheek. He shuddered and listened to the silence surrounding him. Suddenly a sharp pain struck Dylans head , making himself push his head Im between his knee's. He cussed again. Last time he had a headache like that was back in hospital when Adam woke. Murderer. He shouldn't think of Adam this way. 'Adam is a murderer. He killed people. Innocent or not , he killed people.' Dylan thought to himself.

As he lifted his head he immediately saw somebody standing in front of him. He immediately rolled to the side as the person tried to strike him with a bat. "What the fuck!?" Dylan swore again as he stared at the person who was now just standing still. Dylan peered done at the shoes the person was wearing. "Amelia?" Dylan muttered. Nobody wore heels at 11:00pm on the street except for Amelia. "Fuck Dills , you're smarter than you look." She stated as she removed her dollar store halloween mask.

She then sighed heavily and sat down on Dylans doorstep. Dylan frowned. He didn't understand all the chaos between Max , Adam and now Amelia. "Come sit with me Dylan. We've got a lot to talk about." She stated softly , refusing to look at him. Dylan approached her and sat beside her. He knew she wasn't capable of trying to hurt him again.

"I'll cut to the chase. Adam , Max and I use to be best friends. We would do anything for each other." She spoke softly. Dylan then turned to face her. Her long brown locks were draped in front of her face. Dylan could tell she was dumbfounded. She then spoke again , "Max was..or is a manipulator. He manipulated Adam so much that one day Adam started to suffer from delusions which felt real to him."

Dylan stared at her awkwardly. But it kind of made sense on why Adam was like a child with a big imagination. "I should've stopped it when I first noticed but Adam started to believe things Max told him. If Max said Adam hurt someone , Adam would believe he hurt someone." Amelia stated before standing up. Dylan stared at her in horror. He knew where she was going with this.

"A few months before Adam ended up in a coma , my boyfriend at the time was hooking up with Adam and eventually I found out about it when I found Adam in an alleyway. That day we said some horrible things to each other and Adam ended up cutting himself out of anger. He smoked a lot back then. I called an ambulance and before I left that alleyway I found a moving trash bag with my boyfriend stabbed in the back."

"Are you saying that. Max has been telling Adam that he's a murderer? And that he killed people?" Dylan questioned with wide eyes. "Yes. But the thing is that my boyfriend was still alive for another 2 days. He said he felt a pair of hands grab him from behind and he felt the knife dig into his back." She looked at me in horror and stated, "Dylan. We need to go find Adam now.

Max was the one who killed those people. It was all him and he manipulated Adam into thinking it was him."Dylan was stunned. It was such a shock to hear these things. But he knew deep down that she was telling the truth. She had said before that she and Adam were best friends. She wouldn't hurt him.

Dylan couldn't understand why so much stuff was happening. Suddenly Dylan fell to the ground, a massive headache struck him. It felt as if he was burning up. His vision turned red and strangely , he started to see flashing images of waves, large waves crashing into a brick wall. His head throbbed. He then saw an image of the local docks with water surrounding the ground.

It was almost as if he was looking through someone's eyes- "He's at the docks." Dylan stated bluntly. He then stood up and started walking. "Wait what? How did you know that?" Amelia questioned as she started following him.
"Amelia. I don't trust you one bit. So either you can pick a side or go home!" Dylan yelled as he continued to walk. "Dylan!" A male voice shouted as the sound of a car drew closer.
