-- No one's POV --

    It's been a month since Cardboard friend has shown up. Not much has changed for Gregory. But Jimmy... lot has changed for him. He's gotten in trouble alot. And I mean alot alot. His anger issues have gotten worse. So bad, in fact, that he had to be pulled out of school. Literally pulled. He got into a fight with one of the kids for no reason and once he was told to stop, he hit the teacher instead.

     No one knows why he's so upset lately, but many relate it to his father. His father died just before Gregory was born. He seemed to have moved on, but it would seem that he hasn't. Or maybe that isn't why he's upset? Whatever the reason, the only person he doesn't get mad at is his brother. Greg's been the only person who can calm him down, successfully anyway.

-- Gregory's POV --

     "Stop!! Stop it you guys!!" my cries were ignored. Again. This hasn't been the first time this had happened... Mom and Jimmy got into a fight.. mom thinks Jimmy's being inconsiderate, selfish, rude, and a few other words that I can't understand. She thinks he's being mean just to be mean. He isn't though. I don't know why he's being so mean, but that isn't the reason. "Go to your room!!" "No! You go to your room!!" Did he just... tell mom to...? That's new... "Jimmy Casket! Go. To. Your. Room." "Make me!!" his dare wasn't ignored. She picked him up by his shirt collar then lifted him of the ground, "Don't make me make you. You won't like what happens, young man." Well that worked. He shrank back and whimpered alittle. Mom is really scary when she's mad... she then dropped him and glared at him as he turned away. Jimmy mumbled some hug under his breath, but I couldn't hear what he said.
    
     I heard mom sigh and sit at the table, which was out of my view. I was hiding behind the couch, trying not to get caught up in the fight. I tried to sneak out from behind the couch and to my room without her noticing, but... " Gregory," oh, I could feel the chills run down my spine. "Y-Yes, mama?" She looked down at the table and started tearing up. "I'm sending you to your grandparent's house for a while. I think you'll like it better there. Just for a little bit.."
"Ohh, a sleepover??"
"N- ... yes, Gregory, a sleepover."
"Yay! I'll go tell Jimmy!!"
"No. It's just going to be you this time."
"Oh..."
     "Don't tell Jimmy that you're going, it's a secret, okay?"
"Okay.." why's it secret? I decided not to ask. She looked upset enough as it was. Instead, I ran back to my room and packed a few of my favorite toys. Hmm... what about Box Friend? Will he be lonely while I'm gone?? I should tell him...
     
     "Box friend??" I called for my best friend as I ran up the attic stairs. "Box friend, where are you??" "Wight here, siwwy!" I was silly, he was right where I left him. "Oh! Well, I can't stay long because it's almost bed time but... I'm going for a sleepover at my grandparent's house for a while. You won't get lonely, will you?" "What?? You're weaving me?!" What? I never said that. "No, Box friend. I'm only going for abit! Probably a few days, that all." "But you can't weave!! I'll be wonewy!!" Oh... yeab, I was right, he will be... "Sorry, Box friend.. but mama said I had to. And you can change what mama says..." I looked away from him. He looked so sad. But when I looked back... he was angry! His eyes were red at the middle! That's scary! I stumbled back and nearly fell down the stairs. Suddenly terrified of my friend, I ran back to my room, not wanting to see what he does when he's angry.

-- Jimmy's POV --

     ... Why am I so angry? What's wrong with me? I don't understand... no one knows. No councilor, no principal, no adult, no kid, no fri- ... maybe box friend would know why? I've never asked him. We've become pretty close friends over the last month. I still don't know what he is, but it doesn't matter! He's my friend!! I'll go ask him! He'll know!! I grinned and ran up to the attic. "Hey, box friend! Can I- Ah!!" Dang! He's angry!! I backed away, unsure of what to expect. "W-What wrong, box friend?" "Gwegowy's weaving!!" He's leaving? No! He can't leave!! "What do you mean??" "He told me he was weaving! He said he was going to his gwanpawent's house!! Forever!!" "F-Forever..?" No! I need him, he not leave! He's the only one who can calm me down!! If he's not here, then I can't calm down!! I'll always be mad! No, this is bad!

     "He can't leave!! " "No, he can't! You have to stop him!" Stop him..? "How??" "Get wid of your mama! She's the reason he's leaving!" Get rid of mom..? Wha... how? Why? Wouldn't that make it worse?? Then again, she isn't helping anything. It would be better to just get ri-- "No! That's insane! I wouldn't get rid of my mom! You're sick, box friend!!" "I can't get sick, Jimmy. I'm not real." I sighed at his stupidity then went back downstairs. I've had enough of that creep. Once Gregory's left for my grandparent's, I'm getting rid of it. When he leav-- when he leaves!? He can't leave!! I gotta stop him!! But how? I guess... there's know one way... alright, that's it. It's decided. In the morning. I'll do it then. I'm going to need a goodnight's sleep before this...

A/N
Ha! Another chapter!! And still 5 school reports to do... //sigh
Oh well! I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! Not much happened but.. eh..
So basically what I wanted to say is, due to my 5 reports that I have to do, I probably won't be uploading many chapter for a while. And when I do, they won't be proof read, due to being done at 11pm-1am.. like this one. So apologies for the typos and weird words that don't fit. When that happens, I blame auto correct. (Since I'm typing this on my cruddy tablet)
Ok, so that's all I wanted to say. Oh, and to what don't you think Jimmy's going to do? Wil, this be his first kill, or something else? I guess you'll have to wait to see, huh?
