Another Way Out Of My Mind

Fear

George growled when Tal slammed the door shut. He looked over at the curly haired man and hissed, "You did that to my sister?"

Matty sticks his hands up, he steps backward and shakes his head quickly, "No. No. I'd never. I would never. It was Tal."

George narrowed his eyes as he takes a few steps toward Matty. Matty swallowed hard, his medication had begun to wear off and he knew without Dallas, he was going to go mental.

"Tal? The man who has been nice enough to give me everything I want? He told me I'm safe in here. That no one can get me in here... But you. You found your way in. You hurt my sister. I don't trust you." George growls. He instantly lunges forward and grabs Matty by the neck, he pins him back against the wall and hisses.

Matty looked at him in horror, his face became distorted. Matty no longer saw George as George. He was now something worse. Something more terrifying. He swallowed hard. The room was become something different, he struggled against his grip and Matty felt tears form in his eyes.

George swung and hit Matty four times, the fifth time Matty lashed forward. He attacked George and growled as he pushed the taller man back. Matty blinked back tears, he screamed and then lunged at George. He punched him numerous times, before he kicked his feet out from underneath him.

George fell to the ground in a furious tumble. Matty didn't think, he just began to furiously kick the man, until he got ahold of his feet.

George pulled Matty down onto his ass and then he grabbed him by the hair, he started smashing Matty's head off the floor. Matty screamed and howled trying to get away, he dug his nails into George's arms and desperately tried to pull his arm away.

Matty's screams must've drawn attention because the door flew open. Ms. Lorene stepped inside and had the two guards grab George and take him out of the room.

She quickly rushed over to Matty and felt her eyes fill with tears as she looked over his blood covered face.

"Matthew..." She whimpered softly.

"Get away. Where's Dallas? Where's home? Please... Take me back.." Matty sobs out, he isn't even aware of how hurt he really is. Reality had all but left him.

"Come on.. We have to clean you up first.. And I have some medication for you." She wipes her own eyes and then carefully she helps Matty up, she had to get them out of here.

Dallas sits on her bed, she stares at the ceiling. It was quiet. Jorel didn't speak. In fact she didn't even know if he was awake or not. She ran her fingers through her hair and hummed softly, she continued humming until her song was over.

"Why'd you stop?" Jorel asks quietly.

Dallas looks over at him a bit surprised, "I uh... The song was over."

"Will you hum another?" Jorel rolls over to look at her.

"Why?" Dallas blinks and tilts her head.

"I liked it... It remind me of that time, after your seventeen birthday, when we went to the mall while George was at work. You hummed every song that played." Jorel smiles slightly.

"Yea.. And then you bought me that necklace from Hot Topic that I told you a million times, you didn't have to get it for me." Dallas laughs slightly.

"Yes I did. You deserved it." Jorel nods slowly.

"Yea..." Dallas looks away and sighs when she hears Jorel move.

A few moments later Jorel was sitting on her bed, "So what's going on with you and Matty, Anyway, if I can ask?" Jorel mumbles.
