But Somebody Came.

(Seraphina got her phone taken, and John is not happy about it at all. :p)

Seraphina wasn't online. She wasn't answering calls, she wasn't even reading her texts, and John hasn't been able to get a response from her whatsoever.

He hated it. He hated every second of it. He wants his Savior. He wants to hear her voice, to talk to her, to just SEE her! But she wasn't responding to anything!

Did she get hurt? Is she dead? Did she just forget about him? Why wasn't she responding?

He wanted to rip his hair out, and bite his arms until they bled, and break his bones, and tear his skin off, and just do something! He couldn't stand this! Why wasn't she responding?!

He knew it was stupid that these thoughts were coming up when Seraphina had only stopped responding for two days, but that's two days in a row! She's NEVER done that to him before!

Did she just get tired of being around John? Did her time away make her realize that she's happier without his constant presence and just stopped responding? Oh God, he hoped not! He would kill himself if he found out he made his Savior feel that way about him!

'No!' John slapped himself hard across the face to try and get his bearings. 'No no no no no! Bad thoughts! Sera hates those bad thoughts! No more bad thoughts!'

But it was so hard to not think that way when John was already losing his sanity at every unwelcomed thought that crossed his fucked up mind.

But he had to be patient! That's what his Savior usually told him to do when she wasn't available, right? To be patient?

John could do that. For his Savior, he could do that. He could hold off on those thoughts! Surely she'll respond eventually, and she wouldn't want him to break his streak of no self harming, so he won't do it! He could do that!

Remi came up to the door of the apartment. Apartment ####, right? Yeah, that's the one.

It had been almost a week and a half since Seraphina got suspended, and Remi was sort of ashamed to admit that she had completely forgotten about one text from Seraphina she had read, but forgot to respond to.

Seraphina: *Insert photo of John* Can u please keep an eye on my friend John he looks like this I'm worried that he'll get bullied more now that I'm not there so I wanna make sure he's okay
Sent at 8:54AM, Monday

She remembered seeing John before. Any time she saw Seraphina, John was right next to her. She and John had never actually talked to each other, but Remi was more than willing to try! She hoped he would want to be friends.

But before Remi could knock on the door, she heard a loud crash from inside the apartment, followed by sounds of stuff breaking and someone grunting with each bang and crash.

'What's going on in there?' Remi questioned, deciding to knock on the door with caution. The commotion immediately stopped, and the apartment was completely silent. Remi took that as her cue to talk. "Hello? Are you John? My name is Remi. I'm a friend of Seraphina's. She told me to come and check on you, so... Can I come in?"

She immediately heard footsteps and objects moving before the door swung open, revealing John, who was in a regular T-shirt and shorts.

John looked horrible. He had bags under his eyes, he looked pale and a bit sick, some parts of his clothes had spots of blood on it, his knuckles had splinters in them, his left hand was poorly wrapped by bandages dripping with blood, and he looked crazed as if he hadn't left his room, or even his bed, in weeks.

John immediately grabbed onto Remi's shoulders, and Remi couldn't help but flinch when she felt blood begin to soak into that part of her sleeve. "Sera texted you? Is she okay? What exactly did she say?" He asked frantically.
