Chapter 28.

[Chapter 28: Numb...]

[Lauren's Pov]

As me and the two Shadows, Bonnie and Freddy, walked out of the apartment complex and walked to a near by park. "Here my dear." Shadow Bonnie said, floating over towards the opening of the park. "This looks nice." I said, smiling for the first time in a month of two. "That's the smile we love to see!" Shadow Freddy said patting my shoulder and hanging onto me as we walked into the open park.

It was a nice park, had a creek flowing through it too. It was calming. Very calming even though there were kids running around and playing. But, I couldn't hear them. All I could hear was the cool breeze flowing ,through the park, and past me leaving my hair flowing in the wind. 'I guess I'll just sit down on a swing or something.' I thought walking over to the swings with my hands in hoodie pocket.

I sat down on one of the swings, and pulled my hands out of my pocket, placing my hands on the chain. As began kicking my feet back and fourth, The two shadows joined in with me, floating over the as if they were swinging with me. I kept swinging, higher and higher, with each swing. 'Uhh-' My thoughts came to a stop as I stopped on the swing. "Um, Lauren? Do you not realize that you are bleeding?" Shadow Freddy said pointing at my arm. "Huh?" I looked down at my arm, seeing the dark red ooze, dripping out from my arm. "Now how did get there...?" I trailed off questioning my now bleeding arm. "Maybe we should at least bandage up your arm." Shadow Bonnie said. 'How am I bleeding through my scales? Are they that thin?' I thought before saying. "No, I'm fine... It's just a scratch." I said giving the two shadows a fake happy smile, as I got up off of the swing. "Are you sure, My dear?" Shadow Bonnie asked giving me a worried look.

We all decided to go back to my apartment, mainly because they were worried about my arm. But me? Nah...I couldn't feel it. I couldn't feel the pain.... I feel... Numb? Probably...

We got back to my apartment, with nobody saying a word. I opened my apartment door, as I set my keys back in my hoodie pocket, I walked in And looked around my apartment, quickly finding my desk with desk top computer on it.

I walked over to my desk, and sat down on my chair, that burying my face in my arms. I laided there and soon fell asleep like that.

I woke up later, due to my phone going off again. I picked it up to see it was my Mon calling. I yawned, before hitting answer. "Hey *Yawn* Mom..." I said yawning. "Lauren?" She sighed. "For once you picked up. We were so worried back at home that you wouldn't pick up... Why haven't you been picking up your phone?" My mom asked, sounding a little bit relieved from her worrying. "Mom, I-It's nothing. I've probably been sleeping when you called. I've been trying to get a better sleep schedule from my old one. Remember? When I would sleep so late in the mornings? And stay up late at night?" I said Lying with every word. "Are you sure dear? Are you 100℅ sure your okay?" Mom asked again. "Yeah. I am..." I trailed off looking over at the clock. "8:46" It read. "Oh! I'm gonna be late work!! Bye Mom! Love you!" I said, quickly hanging up, and running for my closet. 'Another day. Another heartache, right? Well, That's what I always tell myself...'

As soon as I got back to my apartment, It was around 10 or something and I had sat down at my desk again and looked over at my phone. It had my YouTube Playlist pulled up. 'Odd, I didn't leave it like that, Did I?' I thought, picking out my earbods that were connected to it. I hiy play on whatever song that it was on. Surprisingly, it was on Numb by Linkin Park. A song that did like. More then I should have...? As the song started, I picked up my phone and put it in my pocket and walked outside my apartment.

"I'm tired of being what you want me to be...
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface.... I don't know what you're expecting of me...
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes....~" The word began slipping out of mouth, I was singing the words.

"Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow... Every step, that I take is another mistake to you...~
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow...

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there....
Become so tired, so much more aware.
By becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you."

I took a deep breath before continuing.

"Can't you see that you're smothering me?
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control.... 'Cause everything that you thought I would be...
Has fallen apart right in front of you...~ Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow.

Every step that I take is another mistake to you...~

Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
And every second I waste is more than I can take!

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there... Become so tired, so much more aware.

By becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you.
And I know I may end up failing too
But I know you were just like me with someone disappointed in you! I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
By becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there!
I'm tired of being what you want me to be...
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there!
I'm tired of being what you want me to be..." The song ended, and I just walked back inside my apartment, Only to be best be to astonished faces. "What? Never heard me sing before?" I asked, sliding off my shoes and getting in my bed. "I've become so numb..." I mumbled, before sifting off the sleep for what it's worth.

I was recently going through my YouTube playlist for songs to add to my Spotify playlist. This came up as a Masky Tribute on YouTube which is where I had first heard the song. So it inspired me. Thanks.
