The Ghøst in Apartment Twenty Øne

17- What Did I Do?

Tyler's POV

I was in the empty room again sitting on the same exact chair. However, this time I wasn't tied down. I stood up and walked around the room a little bit, inspecting every way and corner; there really was nothing else here.

"Welcome back, Tyler," spoke a familiar deep, bone chilling voice. I turned to face Blurry. Instead of the usual all black attire except for a red beanie and some red socks; he was wearing all white except for the hat. The hat was still the same unsettling blood red.

"What do you want now?" I asked, shoving my hands in my pockets. My stance looked casual and relaxed, but I was far from it. I still didn't trust him. Not yet.

He mimicked me and shoved his hands in his pockets and casually strolled over to me. He normally acted calm around me, but tonight was the calmest he had ever been. Honestly, it worried me.

"Just to chat with you a little more, that's all. I noticed you were kind of short with Josh today. That's good; I'm proud of you. You might end up living after all."

"I don't need your approval," I snapped. "That is none of your business."

"You're forgetting something. I am you Tyler, so it is my business." Blurryface walked closer to me, an antagonistic grin on his face.

"Anyways, the reason I brought you here is I have something I want to show you."

"What?"

"I get the feeling you still don't really trust me about Josh, so I have some proof for you, proof that he's just trying to kill you." I scoffed and rolled my eyes.

"Oh, still don't believe me? Just take a look." He nodded he head towards the wall behind me.

When I turned and looked, it was no longer a plain black wall. It looked like a giant video screen, and Josh was in the very middle of it. Next to him was a short dude with pale skin, dirty blonde hair, black rimmed glasses, and a fedora.

"Who is that next to him?" I asked.

"That's Patrick; I believe Josh told you about him before. He's in on this whole thing. Now shh, listen."

I stopped talking and focused my attention back on the screen. Slowly, Josh and Patrick started moving on the screen and I could hear their voices grow louder.

"....and that's all you have to do. But, it has to be done by March 10, otherwise you won't get in." Patrick was saying. What does Josh have to do?

"And you're sure this will work? It'll definitely kill him?" Josh asked with his arms crossed over his chest. My eyes grew wide at his words. That means nothing...he didn't say my name...he could be talking about trying to kill Blurryface.

"Positive, that's how I killed Pete." How could someone so small and cute looking kill another human being? Didn't Josh say Pete was also helping him help me? But, that means nothing. If he can lie about his intentions, he can lie about who is helping him.

Josh nodded his head and stayed silent for a moment before replying.

"Ok, Tyler doesn't trust me enough yet, but I think he's close, maybe within the next few days."

"If you're sure, but you better move quickly. You're cutting it kind of close. Anyways, you'll still need to tell him that..."

Patrick's voice started to fade out along with the picture. I think the wall turned plain black again, but I couldn't tell through the tears collecting in my eyes and threatening to spill over.
