Dr. Bruce and I became very close very quickly, her first name is Abi, which I think is gorgeous! I found out a few pieces of information about her, she is bisexual and does fundraising for LGBT, she's 27 and from Canada, but moved to Columbus, Ohio when she was 14.
We face timed a lot, shared secrets, and developed a bond I couldn't describe. We had a fare contrast between us. Abi had thick, dirty blonde hair with big brown eyes, she was slightly tanned like me however she had a figure of a goddess. I however, had silver hair and green eyes, my ears are heavily pierced, fourteen to be precise, I had all my lobes done to my fourths, i had my double upper helix, and helix, also my industrial, nose and naval pierced.

We decided to meet up the next day, at starbucks, just because we liked to laugh at our typical white girl antics.

"Hey there smol bean!" Abi said, throwing me into a tight hug, I hadn't been hugged since my parents funeral and it felt amazing to be embraced. I hugged back taking in the moment.

We sat down at the window seat and ordered our selected drinks. We immediately started discussing the plan on how to save Josh.

Abi pulled her laptop out of her satuel.
"Okay, Gemmy poo, we need to book tickets, do you think we should get backstage just to be sure?" She asked in a perky tone.

"Sure, but won't it cost like, more than I earn in a year to get them?" I asked in sadnosity.

"Honey, I'm a physiologist. I can afford it." She reassured me with a wink.

"At least let me pay some." I asked nicely.

"Don't worry I got it." She said clicking away at her MacBook. Her face lit up as our drinks came, she slurped it down and began clicking again, till her gaze rose to mine.

"Guess who's going to see twenty one pilots?" She asked in a giddy tone.

"OMG YASSSS I LOVE YOU!!" I stood up and so did she, we hugged jumping up and down but we soon stopped at the realization of peoples judgemental glares at our happiness.

"The show is in a days time" she informed me.

"Hey, this may sound childish, but do you wanna' sleep over till the consert?" I asked shyly

"Hell yeah! This is going to be so cool!" She whisper yelled at her laptop.

We arrived to my apartment, I unlocked my door, hoping I hadn't left anything awkward lying about, the thought of the situation made me cringe as I tried to push the image out of my head.
"This place looks so new!" Abi breathed.

"Yeah, I never have guests so I didn't see the point, I mean, I can paint it if I want, just I see no point if no one is here to notice." I said reluctantly.

She nodded and set her bag at the door.

"Here, let me take those upstairs." I said holding my arm out for her to give me her bag, however she shook her head with a gleaming smile.

"That's okay bup, I got it." She told me with a wink.

I laughed and led her up to my room, she immediately dropped her bag and jumped on my bed.

"Oh boy do I miss sleeping!" Abi breathed into the pillow.

I lay next to her and chuckled.
"You know how to make yourself comfy don't you?" I laughed. "Didn't you have a nap on the drive here?" I asked

"Yeah but I get tired!" She wined
I giggled and patted her shoulder. I stood up and made my way eagerly to the bathroom. I wiped all my makeup off and threw the used wet-wipe into my woven bin. We threw on our pyjamas and clambered merrily into my double bed. We lay so our backs were touching which gave me reassurance as I smiled at myself.
I closed my eyes and drifted asleep

Motionless, Josh stood in front of me, a few meters from my body, which was tied harshly onto a metal wall.
"JOSH!!" I screamed.
"JOSH CAN YOU HEAR ME?!"
"JOSH PLEASE!" At this point my throat was torn and I was coughing up dangerously large amouts of blood, but Josh remained still. A silhouette with a battered, red beanie walked carefully behind Josh, swiping out a silver blade and slowly drawing it closer to Josh's stubbley neck.

"NO!!" I shrieked
"NO PLEASE DON'T, TAKE ME, PLEASE!!" I blurted out with tears slipping down my pained cheeks, stinging my skin as they glided.

The figure lifted its head and revealed this face-like blur of colours. He was wearing a black flannel with a floral print and a black t-shirt underneath. Josh's blurryface.
He drew the blade slowly and deeply across Josh's neck, letting a thick line of blackish red blood ooze out from Josh's system. He fell flat on the ground, not even a twitch came from the lifeless lump of talent which I loved dearly to my soul, I let out a loud sob and let more tears burnt through my skin, the blurryface swept its demonic body up to my tiny nose.

"Don't blame me. It was you who killed him." His blurryface whispered, sounding just like tyler, only more sinister.

"Gaahhhhhhhhhh" I bolt upright, unable to breathe, my chest rising and sinking rapidly. I closed my eyes and lay back down.
I rubbed my eyes as a small tear falls down my face.
"This can't go on." I whisper to myself as I roll over to my side and close my eyes, hopefully getting some decent shut eye.
