Part 27 "What's wrong?"

*Josh's PoV*

I was sitting there as Jr and that girl - his sister right? - walked out. I stared at the door after they left for a few minutes not sure what to do.

'Why did she even help me? I think she was Saluna right?'

Right now I had no idea what to think. I grabbed my head in pain as I started to hear them again.... Whether it was just noises or voices it still gave me major headaches and just random pains. Headaches,heart pains,stomach aches - it was just like getting punched multiple times in the same spot. Sometimes they would take pity and sometimes they would be ruthless.

I sat there as I dropped my book so that I could hold my head. I had forgotten about the other girl. I looked up at her and she was staring at me looking worried. I kept hearing whispers...but they were loud. It got louder and louder turning into screams - screams of pain - of torture. Until it all became quiet...they stopped.

"A-are you o-okay?" she stuttered reaching out toward me.

'Help me...'

There was this tiniest voice in my head that I could hear clearly.

As if I was being controlled I spoke out the exact words the voice said. "H-h-help..." I tried covering my mouth as I jerked around the bed trying to keep my mouth shut. "m-me-e-e!" I couldn't hold it in and it came out of my mouth in almost a yell.

I looked at her with my hand over my mouth and she had a terrified expression. I tried moving my hand but I couldn't something wouldn't let me. I was being controlled...again.

"I-i-i-it's OKAY!" Each word I spoke came out different. My voice sounded different.

I walked toward her and she backed away.

'Is she afraid? Am I that scary?'

I asked myself as I backed away back toward the bed and sat down. My hand slowly fell from my mouth as I heard another voice answer me in my head.

'Poor little girl...'

I stood up abruptly as the girl was still staring - watching - what I'd do next and ready to scream if anything happened.

"Who's that!" I asked out loud looking even crazier to the girl in the corner.

'Oh no...you're scaring her. Want to know what she thinks of you? You do think she's 'cute'. Wait the other one is 'pretty'!'

It responded back sounding like there were different voices talking at the same time.

"Shut up! Leave me alone!" I grabbed onto my head again squeezing it hoping the voices would just go away.

'What is he doing! I'm scared! Somebody help me...please'

It mimicked a girly voice signaling that they were her thoughts. I looked up to her seeing the same scared face she had. She stood up slowly.

'I need to get out! I need to do something! I'm going to die!'

Again it mimicked her thoughts. I felt tears prickle the corner of my eyes as my face scrunched up a bit trying to fight them back. I couldn't....

'Uh-oh she hurt person's feelings.'

Sometimes I wondered if the voices were good or bad. They controlled me,but why? They hurt me,but do they actually mean to? I probably will never know.

'Is he...crying...?'

It continued to read her thoughts as I kept crying. I felt something - something I've never felt before - it was warm and comforting.

'Why? Why is he crying...?'

I looked up to her slowly and realized she was hugging me....

'Don't cry. It's sad seeing you cry...'

She squeezed me harder as I heard her thought. I relaxed my tense shoulders and dropped my hands at my side.

"Why...?"

I asked in a breathless whisper. Her hug got softer as she stopped squeezing me.

'What am I? What is happening to me!? When will this stop...please make it stop...'

'He's so cold. Why is he cold...he was wearing his sweater all day.'

It ignored my last thought and focused on hers. She stopped hugging me and looked at me,but didn't say anything.

'Please don't cry like that,again. It hurts seeing you like that...you look better with no tears on your face.'

My eyes widened a bit and she just smiled at me. Her head was tilted and she had her eyes closed and I just stared.

'More people are coming.'

I looked at the door and wiped my eyes looking at her again and just walked back to the bed. I picked up my book reading it and trying to calm the voices,and myself.

'Why is she being so nice to me...? Or maybe she's always this nice?'

Saluna and Jr entered the room,and I drew my eyes upward while playing with the pages in my book in a nervous habit.

Saluna smiled at us,and I just stared. I thought she was suppose to be cold or 'scary'? At least that was what the kids at school said about her. I guess this is a perfect example for one of those 'Don't judge a book by its cover' cliche quote or in short a tsundere.

I felt under pressure by Jr's gaze so I looked back down and quietly continued to read. He was staring at me like he was mad - looking me up and down,and all around the room. He was trying to find something wrong,something wrong that I did - something wrong with me.

"Anything happen? We thought we heard a yell."

Jr was facing Mabel but I could see him eyeing me out of the corner of his eyes.

"I slipped,but I'm okay." she gave them a reassuring smile to which I replied by gripping my book tighter.

'Why was I born this way?'

Some time passed. They played,talked,and finished cleaning as I just sat there reading the whole time. The other boy,Emerson, came over eventually and things just got louder. I tried my hardest ignoring them,but I couldn't anymore. I stood up and walked to the door. I was surprised to see Jr had stopped me.

"What are you doing?" Emerson stopped by him to listen too.

"Home." I yanked my arm out of his hand,but before I could walk any further I was pulled back by my shirt.

"The sun is barely going down and you said you don't go home until nighttime."

"The park." I didn't feel like talking with an excruciating headache right now.

"Why?"

"Because I want to. What's with all these questions? A few hours ago you were kicking me out."

He let go of me and turned to walk away.

"Bye." Said the kid with glasses.

I sighed and walked out.

'It's obvious he wants me to stay but he's too afraid to have me stay.'
