{Laurence's POV}
I was scared when we were waiting. Garroth looked at me. I tried to smile at him, but I knew it was a fake one. "Laurence Zvahl." The lady says. I get up and follow her. I don't want to do this. I'm only doing it for Garroth and Dante. The lady led me into a room with my counselor. I sat down where he told me to. "Greetings. My name is Dr. Muncey." He says. "Laurence Zvahl." I say back. He starts asking me questions. One of them just killed me. "So I heard that your friends scheduled this appointment. Why is that?" I start to freak out inside. I'm dead. "They think I have serious depression." I say. I know it's true. I am in serious depression. I just didn't want to admit it. "Oh? Why do they think that?" He asks. "If I tell you, please don't judge me." I say. He looks me in the eyes. "I don't judge. My job is to help people, not make them feel bad." He says. Good. Here we go. "Well my friend Dante and my boyfriend Garroth have noticed that I don't eat much, I've slept in longer, and..." My voice trailed off. "Laurence. Please finish." He says. "I've tried self harm and tried to commit suicide." I say looking down. I feel him staring at me. "Laurence. Why do you think you're depressed?" He asks. I look up even though I feel tears forming in my eyes. [Swear Warning.] "Because I'm a fucking idiot! I broke up with Garroth, I had an awful nightmare, and..." My voice trailed again as I started crying quietly. My hands covered my face. I just want to hold Garroth right now. He is the only one who can make me feel better right now. "Laurence. Listen to me." He says. I tried to calm down. I couldn't. "Alright. Is your boyfriend here?" He asks. "Y-Yeah." I say. "What's his name again?" He asks. "G-Garroth Ro'meave." I say. He nods and walks out of the room.

{Garroth's POV}
"Garroth Ro'meave." A man says. I look up where he was. He beckoned me to follow him. Dante nods at me, telling me to go. I stand up and follow him. "What's going on?" I ask. "Garroth, I am Dr. Muncey, Laurence's counsellor. He's broken down and I couldn't get him to talk anymore than he has." He says. I start to panic inside. We walk into a room, where I see Laurence, crying. "Laurence!" I exclaim as I run over to him. I hug him. "G-Garroth?" He asks as he looks up. He turns around and hugs me. I let go as the counsellor sits down. I stand by Laurence's side. Laurence reaches for my hand. I pull away. "Garroth, he knows already." He says. I just give him my hand. He holds it tight. "Now, Laurence. Please finish what you were saying before you broke down." Dr. Muncey says to him. When he started talking, his breathing was shaky. He closes his eyes as he finishes, "...and I just couldn't take it anymore, knowing that I had broken his heart. Even before we were together, I was upset because I had lost my dad, Hayden, and my sister, Cadenza." I look down at him. His eyes were filling with tears again. His grasp tightens. Laurence's appointment finishes, and we go out to the waiting area to get Dante and go home. We weren't holding hands anymore, because we didn't want to be suspicious. We got Dante and left. When we were in the car, Laurence just looked out the window and closed his eyes. I could tell he was about to cry. I lean over and hug him. Tight. On accident. When he almost screamed, Dante looked back at us. I quickly loosened up. "Sorry, Laurence. I keep forgetting." I whispered. "Gah. It's alright. Nngh." He whispered back. I was starting to worry as he held his arm. I quickly kissed him when Dante turned around. Laurence returned the kiss. When we were halfway home, I don't know what happened, but Laurence screamed again. Dante looks through the mirror at us and I look at Laurence. He quickly looked away from us. "Sorry guys, I don't know what happened." He said. I don't believe him.

{Laurence's POV}
I was looking out the window when all of a sudden, I saw him. The purple character from my nightmare. I screamed, and the others looked at me. "Sorry guys, I don't know what happened." I lied. If they found out that I saw the Purple Man, they would think that I was crazy. When we got home, I quickly ran inside and went into my room. I closed the door and sat on my bed. My nightmare came back in flashes. When they kept repeating themselves, I literally didn't care. I just screamed as loud as I could. When Dante opened the door with Garroth by his side, I closed my eyes and fell backwards. "Laurence, come to my room in a minute, okay?" Dante asked. "Okay." I mumbled. I heard my door close. I sighed as I grabbed my phone. I looked at the time. 1:28pm. Alright. I got up and went to Dante's room. I knocked on the door. Garroth opened it, took my wrist, and pulled me in. He shut the door behind us. I'm so dead. Dante tells me to sit down. I sat on the bed. "Now. Laurence, why do you keep screaming? You're acting strange." Dante says. I look over to the door. Run for it, Laurence. I quickly got up and ran to the door. I opened it, and I swore I saw the purple character again, it was a flash though. Did he follow us home? I slammed the door and screamed again. "LAURENCE!" They both screamed. I didn't care anymore. I ran back to my room and slammed the door behind me. My back slid against the wall. I saw another flash of purple and screamed again. I put my head in my hands and started to freak out. Was my nightmare coming to life? Gah! I started crying really hard at this thought. I heard knocking at my door. I didn't open it. "Laurence! Open the door!" Garroth says. "We need to talk!" I cry harder. I didn't know why I was going so crazy! I screamed as loud as I could.

{Dante's POV}
We heard Laurence scream as loud as he could. "He was crying, too." Garroth says to me. "Garroth, he's gone crazy." I say. Garroth looks down and tears up. I put my arm around him to try to cheer him up. No luck. He runs back and forcefully opens the door. Laurence was on his bed, tears rolling down his face. It's official. Laurence has gone insane. Garroth was trying to calm Laurence down. No such luck. "GARROTH LOOK OUT!"
---------------------------------------------
Why has Laurence gone crazy? Because he keeps seeing the Purple Guy from chapter ten. He thinks that Vincent's stalking him and is planning on killing him. Maybe this is a side effect from the pills he took from his suicidal attempt?
<Laurence> It was just one pill.

Anyway, I'm gonna write the next chapter tomorrow. Bye guys!
