chapter fifteen

OK A QUICK AN FOR YA

So this chapter is extra long bc it's very important, and i wanna disclaim that everything you learn is all made up. I came up with it when i had a bad nightmare similar to Tys so it's all fiction. ok cool

"What am I gonna wear? What do you even wear to be abducted by a demon?" Dallon asks through the phone. Tyler, Josh, Chris and the boy currently talking are on Skype.

Josh is getting ready for the game, the second to last of the season, and the others are at Dallon's setting up for the party.

It'll be around 11 when Josh can get there and they've decided that they'll conduct the experiment then.

"I don't know, maybe some sweats? Be comfy?" Chris suggest to which Tyler and Josh groan.

"Never say comfy again." Josh demands and Chris laughs.

"Hey, come upstairs and help me carry this beer in." Tyler asks Chris whose in the basement getting the keg.

"Be there in a flash. See ya tonight J!" Then he hangs up and the other boys bid their goodbyes before doing so as well.

Josh is nervous. Not for the game, he knows that'll be fine, but for tonight. He had to lie and say he was going to a sleepover just for Cindy to let him stay out, and now he's sending one of his good friends away. Possibly to hell from what he read last night, information he'll be sharing as soon as he gets there.

"Ready Dun?" Coach Hodge asks as he steps into the locker room. The rest of the boys are already on the field stretching and as Josh puts his phone away and follows the man out he feels a familiar pang of anxiety.

He wonders how the boys are holding up.

"Seriously Bro, how did you get so good? You taking steroids?" Josh scoffs at Jefferson's question.

"Oh yeah, totally. That's how I passed my drug test last week." The team laughs, enjoying the after game talk, but Josh wouldn't mind skipping out completely. He's sat through it 13 times before and is sort of in a rush.

"Anyone going to Dallon's tonight?" Josh practically cries in relief when Rodriguez brings it up, the boy jumping from his seat.

"Yeah, I am actually. They need help setting up so I should go. Congrats on the win, y'all are one hell of a team." They're shocked to say the least, Josh isn't really the party type after all.

"Is Tyler going?" He hears a distant voice question as he's dashing out the door. He doesn't answer, he's already in Tyler's car half way there.

Chris is sitting on Dallon's front porch when Josh arrives, a cigarette dangling from his mouth almost naturally.

"Yo, Dun." He greets and Josh salutes him. "They're upstairs, Ty is getting the camera set up." He nods hesitantly and takes his best friend in. His hair is matted, his eyes red.

"Chris...Are you...Have you.."

"Yes. I'm high. I can't do this sober who do you think I am?" Josh laughs lightly but gives his friend a concerned look. Now that he thinks about it, no one has asked Chris of he's okay with everything going on, no ones asked how he's doing or if he's stable. Josh suddenly feels like a shit friend, deciding the boys upstairs can wait as he takes a seat.

"Are you okay?" Chris turns his head to look at him.

"What do you mean?"

"Just...With all of this." He motions around to the two boys in the house, where he suspects Dallon and Tyler are then back to them.
