the monsters are creeping into my thoughts again.
i never managed to piece it together until now. i feel so stupid.
why is josh allowed in my cell? why does he always seem like he's showered? how does he even get in here?
my minds playing tricks on me again. it's like i'm seeing the entire world though a glass that distorts everything.
"are you ready?" josh asks me from across the small room. the yellow creeps back in, but this time, it's sickening.
"get away from me," i mutter, not able to look up at him. i imagine he frowns, cocks his head to the side. he's confused.
he takes a step closer. "tyler, are you okay?"
"i said, get the hell away from me."
this time i look up and he's standing in front of me, a look of concern on his beautiful features.
"you're just another monster," i spit, the yellow now making everything a bit fuzzy.
"but, you said you trusted me."
"shut up!" i scream and i tackle him to the ground.
when he looks up at me, he's not scared or confused. he's just concerned. and i hate it.
i start hitting his chest, arms, anything i can reach. "you're just another monster!" there's tears blocking my vision now and i can barely see, but i keep hitting him. he doesn't budge.
it takes a few moments for the guards to come. they pull me away, and the strangest thing: they pull josh away, too.
he keeps his eyes on me as the guards ask him questions. it doesn't make any sense. my arms are restrained behind my back and someone injects something into my arm.
"real or not," i mumble before the serum knocks me out.
