CH.2

The camera is facing Jack

Pressing the record button he looks at the camera and nods, waving his free hand. Then holds his throat and shakes his head, signaling he can't talk. He hasn't seen his reflection in a long time, but knows he must look pretty bad. Signe leans into frame and glances at jack, he turns the camera towards her. " ....hey everyone. I'm not sure what to say..I'm at a loss of words..I'm sorry..but..Sean, can't talk..." her voice cracks a little towards the end, and Jack can see in the camera she is teary eyed. "I know everyone wants to know the details, but I won't say them without per..." Jack lifts his free hand and nods at Signe. She takes a deep breath.

     "He can't talk. We both saw the news and he fainted. Which is why for so many hours I couldn't speak to you guys. He has been..asleep for 3 days" she doesn't want to say that he was in a coma, not with him right next to her. "And he just woke up not too long ago. I'll keep everyone updated on how Sean is doing. Know we both love and care about all of you." she presses the stop button, and the video uploads to twitter. Not even a second passes and tweets come pouring in. Of people using Jack's real name and nickname, of how both Jack and Signe look so broken, how they feel and an assortment of other things. "So much love...sigh...they really love you" she smiles, and Jack leans his head on her and brings the phone to her heart. "I know..you are saying they love me too Jack" Signe puts an arm around him and smiles.

     "Jack....Ja....Sean!?"  Is that Signe?
"Not sure...I think it is...."  his vision focuses and he sees Signe above, with a worried expression and shaking him almost too hard. He is lying on the floor, and his head is in her lap. Putting his hand over hers, she sighed and kisses his forehead. Jack smiles up but then winces at the pain in his head. He immediately reaches up and holds his head and squirms around in pain. Signe yells for the nurse, while holding Jack. The nurse comes in and injects Jack with a light green substance, and the pain almost instantly goes away. Sitting up, he gives the nurse a confused look. "I know, you want to know what this medicine is" Signe chews on her bottom lip and looks away. Glancing at her for a moment he returns her attention to the nurse. "This" she holds up the syringe. "Is medicine to slow down activity in your frontal lobe and the pains in your head. 'Wait what do you mean...'
"Records have shown in previous years you have had events of major depression and manic episodes. Also instances of having hallucinations. And ringing in your ears yes? She stares at him, waiting patiently. Jack's face paled. He didn't expect to hear what he already knew..especially not in front of Signe. He wanted it to be hidden. From everyone.  He's a gamer, sure every now and then some people notice in his video that something is off about him, but he ignores it. He starts to shake his head in disbelief but goes against it and nods. Glancing at Signe, she is looking down, looking sat the light reflecting from her phone in her hands. "Once you get your voice back we have to do further evaluation." The nurse says flatly. 'I'm not insane...she knows everything....I'm not...it's a mistake..you know it's not'.

      Ignoring the last part of his train of thought, he looks up again and the nurse is just leaving out the door. His hands shake a little and he looks at Signe. Sean lifts up her chin gently. "I'm sorry Jack...for not telling you that..I know" she looks so guilty. She leans in to embrace Jack, but he is in shock, and doesn't hug back. She pulls back and sees his head is turned away, and sees tears streaming down it. Trembling slightly he looks at Signe and curls up on the floor, not laying his head on her lap. "No...I..please don't..I'm sorry..Sean..."she puts a hand on his arm, but he shakes his head and buries it under an arm.
'Why couldn't I just tell her'
'Because I'm weak that's why, I should've told her..should've told her'
' I want to be alone..leave me...don't leave me..'
His thoughts become a jumbled mess quickly and he falls asleep.

"I'm so sorry..."

A lot of time passes

'So, what are you going to do now,eh?'

'Just leave me alone'
.

'Ha..ha..I can't do that. I'm here to stay and you know that' the voice's laugh resonates through jack's mind. It's his own laugh really, but much darker and creepier. 'I guess you need a name...'  it doesn't take Jack long to think of the perfect name for him.

'Anti'

' ever since Anti was created as a joke..it was more or less you...so..that's your name.'
'Got that right Greenie. Thanks for the name by the way, I was waiting soooo long for that' 'Took ya long enough to figure it out'
'Why are you even out so much, that medicine is supposed to keep you away, and I have ignored you for so long..'. Jack's eyes are open, sitting on the bed, just staring at the wall with a blank expression. Signe isn't there. Not knowing what day it is, let alone the time.
'Listen, I have kept you company haven't I? 'Y-yeah..no...I...' 'You can't doubt that, I know you need me-" 'Why do I still talk to you...'
'After all, we share the same mind. Do not fight me.'
Anti's voice was steadily getting louder, at the last part Jack covers his ears as if to block out his voice. 'Aw does little Jackieboy not want to listen? I'm not easy to ignore Greenie'. With that, pain shoots through Jacks head. Jack can hear Anti laughing. It's like it's echoing on the walls around him. ..it's too much..too loud..

'ARFGGGGHHHH...Go the hell away! Leave me alone....'

Jack rocks himself and shivers,shaking his head.

'Leave ...me alone'

He squeezes his hands over his ears tighter, pulling at his hair.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!!"

Jack heavily pants as he tries to catch his breath. Everything is silent.
