Too far gone

Just try to take him (I dare you)

-- Jimmy's POV --

     I woke up early in the morning, not that I was ever really asleep. I was too busy planning what I was going to do today. Well, I planned ur out pretty quickly actually. Most of the night I was worrying. What if something goes wrong? What if I say something I don't mean? Or do something wrong?? And! Oh, I hadn't thought about this.. what if Gregory gets hurt!? The whole point of this is to keep him here, and safe I sighed and stared at the door. "Let's get this over with... maybe he'll sleep through it..?"

     I walked to the door, then through the living room, straight to the kitchen. Mom was there, as always, cooking breakfast. I was just glaring at her, trying to get rid of my anger before I did anything. Yeah, genius, stating at someone gets rid of anger! Ha! I looked away to the floor. Get rid of her... that's what box friend said... but how do I..? No, I had it planned. I know what I'm going to do. "... Mom..?" She was startled, I guess she didn't know I was up already. It was pretty early... "Oh, hi, Jimmy! You're up early, is everything alright?" No! You idiot! Everything is not alright!! I clinched my fist and nodded quickly. I need to calm down.. "Alright. Well it'll be a while before breakfast I ready. Why don't you watch some tv while you wait?" I shook my head and sat at the table, trying to gather some courage. "Jimmy, honey, what's wrong..?" Not yet mom! I'm not ready to tell you yet!! "N-Nothing..." She sighed and put down her cooking utensils, "Tell me, Jimmy, what's bothering you?" Dangit, she's going to me make me say it! I could feel myself tearing up. I clinched my fist even harder. "W-Why are.... why are you t-taking Greg away..?" She stared at me. I couldn't see her, but I could tell that she was. "What do you mean..? I'm not--" "YES YOU ARE!! You're sending him to our grandparents house!!" I slammed my fist on the table, nearly spilling mom's coffee. "How do you know about that..?"
"Box friend told me!!"
"Box friend..?"
"YES!!"
"Who's that?"
"It doesn't matter, just answer my question! Why're you taking him away!?"
"..."
"Answer me!!"
"It's only for a fe--"
"Forever, yeah, I know!! Why're you taking him away!? You just want me to stay like this, don't you!? I bet you love seeing me like this, right?!"
"No, don't say tha--"
"Why not!? It's the truth, isn't it!?"
"NO!! Jimmy, stop this!"
"Stop what!?"
"Stop yelling! You'll wake your brother!"
"... fine..."
"Thank you... now, before you say anything more, let me explain. Yes, I'm sending Gregory to your grandparent's house. But no, he isn't staying forever."
"Yes he is!! That's what box friend told me!!"
"Well then, he was lying.."
"NO! You're lying! You are sending him away forever! What else have you lied about, huh!?"
"Jimmy, I'm no--"
     "SHUT IT!!" I'm so fed up with this lady!! She hates me I know it!! She loves seeing me like this! That's why she doesn't seem upset, she's enjoying it! Yeah, so what if her eyes are tearing up?! She's just faking it like always! Poor little her with her 'sick and mentally challenged child'!! YEAH, BOO-HOO!! I tried to push myself away from the table so I could go to my room, but I accidentally shoved the table a couple feet away instead. I almost tipped my chair back too, but it stayed upright.

     'Get wid of your mama!' Those words echoed through my mind. Once again I was flooded with those thoughts. The ones about getting rid if her.. it'd solve all my problems. Gregory would stay here, I wouldn't be angry anymore, and box friend would be able to be with us all the time! I laughed under my breath at how simple it would be. Oh, it really would be easy!
I heard my mom scream and jump away from something. I looked up to see what she screamed at, only to notice it was Box friend. How'd he get out of the attic? Oh well, it doesn't matter! He's here now! I smiled and ran over to him, "See, mom? This is Box friend! He's the one who actually cares about me!" I was so amused at the fear on her face that I failed to notice box friend's expression. He was angry, almost evil looking. "T-That's 'Box friend'?!" I nodded and laughed, "Yep! Hi, Box friend! Why're you here?" "To help you, of course!" Help me..? "With what?" "Getting wid of your mama, siwwy!" Ohh! Right! "Cool, thanks!" "J-Jimmy, I.. I-I don't understand. What does i-it mean 'get rid of me'?!" I shrugged and looked at box friend, expecting a reason. No response was given, however. "Box friend..?"

     He lifted up his arms quickly and told me to hide somewhere. And of course, I obeyed, hiding behind the couch. A loud boom could be heard. A boom, a scream, and a whimper. I wonder what happened..? "Wun, Jimmy!" "Why??" "Don't ask, just wun! Far away! And don't come back, it's not safe!" "But what about Gregory!?" "I'll take care if him! Now leave!! And don't look over here!!" I didn't bother asking why. I just got up and ran out the door, not bothering to look back. Box friend told me to run, so I will.

-- Gregory's POV --

     I'm scared. I was woken up by Jimmy and mom yelling at each other . I would've been fine with just that, but no. The was screaming and loud noises! Mama was screaming, it scared me! She's never scared, so what happened!?

      I laid paralyzed in my bed for atleast 20 minutes before getting up. I crept out of my room into the kitchen. As soon as I got there, I noticed something wasn't right! No, everything was wrong!!
"MAMA!!! NOOO MOMMY!!!"
