House Of Pain (My Digital Escape/Jordan Sweeto)

Darling, Don't Forget

•Bens POV•

How am I supposed to tell him? He's all the way on the other side of the world. I CANT tell him, it could ruin his entire trip, he'll come home early, he won't be able to spend time with his other best friends. He needs this break.

You are all I'm missing caught off guard me and you is really that hard?? BITE ME BABY SET MY WORLD ALIVE WITH FEELING YOURE STEALING EVERYTH-

"God Jordan, what's up?" -yes okay, I'm guilty, I used his song as his ringtone, don't judge. He's my best friend I can do that - "TELL ME DOLAN ISNT IN HOSPITAL" "w-what?" "DUDE YOU KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. TELL ME!" He half pleaded, half demanded. "L-Look, I don't know, he's not picking his phone up, no ones seen him for days, we're trying to find hi-" "oh my God, this can't be happening" "why are you stressing so much? He's going to be okay" I pressed, hoping he wouldn't ask more questions. " I- you're right, I need to calm down." I heard a sigh escape his mouth. "How did you even know something was wrong?" "I - um, I just got a bad feeling" he hesitated. "You're a bad liar" "it sounds crazy" "try me" "house of pain told me" "w-what? Jordan seriously? It's a game" "yeah, it's a 'game' but it's Dolans game".

Should I tell him?

"Look Jordan, Dolan told me not to tell you this, but I have too. It's your decision what you do with the information, just, just don't do anything stupid. Okay?" "O-okay?" God I'm sorry Dolan. "Jordan these dreams you've been having" I hesitate slightly "They, they aren't actually dreams. They're kinda like visions -I know it sounds crazy- but hear me out. We found Dolan in his house last night. We don't know ho-" "oh god he's dead, isn't he?" I heard him force tears back "NO NO NO, Jordan he's alive, okay?" "O-okay. S-so what's up then?" " we don't know how, but he's in a coma. There's no sign of ANYTHING that could cause it. Me and Josh went around to his, we found him. He was passed out on the couch. He'd just finished making the final part of house of pain. The weird part was, his Minecraft character was locked in a chest kinda thing, but made of glass -kinda like Snow White- , lay in the exact same way Dolan was. Even weirder dol-" "it gets weirder?" Jordan's tone was a mixture of confusion and pain. But he sounded like he believed me, thank god, I really don't have the energy to try and convince him I was telling the truth -which I am of course- "Dolan told us the day before all about how the house of pain was real, but in an other dimension. He told us about how one day he'll need help getting out of there. He told us how he needs you to save him." "How can I help him?" "Jordan, you're the only other person who's played this game, you and Dolan are the only way to get people in and out of the dimension unless the game wants to drag them in, that's what happened with Dolan. But he knew it was going to happen, he's left clues for if you go through he said it's fine and he understands. If you do go through it comes at a great price, he wouldn't tell me the price..." I trailed off noticing that Jordan had fallen silent "J-Jordan?" "Oh - My - God" "what's up?" "Y-You're right, there are clues all over the place. What do I have to do to help him? You said that the game is another dimension, how do I get into it?" "I don't think it's the best idea Jordan, I requote 'there's a price' and you don't know how big that price is Jordan. You can't really be considering this?" "Will this save Dolan?" "Jord-" "YES - OR - NO. Will this save Dolan?!" "Yes, I guess. Look Dolan said he's given you the clearest instructions and he's re-sent you to the start of the map." "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU BEN. Before I go, I want you to know, you are the best friend anyone could ask for. You've stuck with me though everything, I can't explain how much I love and care about you. Honestly, don't you ever forget about me? I've not known you all my life, but it's forever to me, and forever means something to me" I was tearing up at this point. Jordan was my BEST friend and he was acting as if I was never going to see him again. "J-Jordan, why are you saying that? You're going to be okay. Tell me you're going to be okay, tell me, teLL ME." I was screaming it down the phone at this point. I don't even know why I believed what Dolan said about the game, like come on, a random game he made just to have some fun with Jordan is really another dimension? What am I even saying, of course it's true. No, it's impossible. It's possible, even Jordan believes it, he'll he could be about to loose his life because of it. I repeatedly scolded myself, my mind constantly conflicted it's self. Like I couldn't control my thoughts. "Ben. Man, you've seen that game. I can't tell you the outcome. But I love you, okay?" I could hear the tears forming in the back of his throat. "I l-love you too" I couldn't hold it back anymore. The tears slowly fell down my face. This could be the end. This could be the last time I ever talk to Jordan Sweeto. "Goodbye Ben. I hope you live well." Thanks dude, throw that last part in, turn me into an emotional wreck why don't you? "Goodbye Jordan Sweeto, and, darling, don't forget" I sobbed. I heard in let out the kind of sad laugh you make when you're uncontrollably crying but you're best friend makes a joke about a memory you've had. The line went down.
That's when I lost it. I sat in the corner and cried for nearly three house straight.
Goodbye Jordan and, darling, don't forget.
