FLASHBACK

"Hey y/n, you know my brother died right." Jake carefully asked the girl sitting next to him on the bench outside, she gave him a questioning look being taken away by the question a bit.
"This might sound crazy, but sometimes it feels like he's still here. I keep hearing his voice, telling me all these things." He continued trying his best to explain himself, but he couldn't put words his feelings.

"Well what does he tell you?" Y/n asked him unsure.
"He, he encourages me to hurt people. To do bad things y/n." He slowly replied.
Y/n went quiet, finding it hard to empathize with her best friend next to her.
"I think he wants me to search for something." Jake added, looking up to the girl next to him.
"Are you going to listen to him, letting him take over you and do those things." She asked the open question carefully inspecting his expression, but he seemed numb.

"Would you support me if I did?" He responded as they both looked at each other.
"I- I don't think I would." She said softly, watching Jake's jaw clench.
"You promised to always be on my side." He spoke coldly.
"I am, as long as you're on the good one." She said giving him a small smile and Jake nodded, knowing he couldn't change her.
"Don't worry, it's probably just in my head, I probably just find it hard to miss him." He reassured her, seeing her body relax at his words.
Jake hoped what he said was true, even though it has been two years sinds his brother Nicholas passed away.

Jake knew Nicholas was a bad person, since he used to be in a sort of gang that strived for spreading fear and obtaining power.
Jake had been the only person Nic trusted with that information and he never told anyone anything, not even y/n.

Jake believed he was a good person, he never wanted to be like his brother.
But the last few months weird things happened to him and the voice of his brother repeating in his head starting to make him mad.
"If you'll ever feel confused about it again, you'll tell me right?" y/n asked Jake and he told her he would, that was the first lie he ever told her.

My eyes shoot open and I immediately sit up.
Short after I realize my arm feels really painful and I look down to the sight of it wrapped in bandages.
I smile at the sight of Lloyd laying down asleep on the ground next to my bed, loosely holding my right hand.

I slowly let go and reach for the glass of water on my nightstand, next to a sheet of pills.
I reach for them and learn from the label that they're painkillers, I take one in to hopefully ease the pain.

I slowly get up from my bed trying my best not to move my arm.
I was wearing a pair of pajama shorts and a black t shirt, hoping Nya was the one who changed my clothes.

I look over to see Lloyd still asleep against the side of my bed, choosing to leave him there and slowly walk out of my room.
I heard voices coming from the headquarters and starting heading there, listening behind the door before stepping into the room.

"Don't worry, me and Zane are working on a system to keep it safe here." I hear Nya's voice.
"It feels nice to be one step ahead for once." I recognized Kai's voice, but I couldn't place what they were talking about.
