Tyler sat up panting and crying. His head hurt and he was super tired. He tried taking big breaths but it didn't work. He clenched his eyes shut and held his hands over his ears as he tried to make the voices go away. But they didn't they never did. The little boy felt the bed move and opened his eyes. As soon as the boy saw the older boy, the voices disappeared. "What happened?" Josh asked in a worried tone. Tyler leaned into the older boy's arms and sobbed. It was all getting too much. "It's him, he just won't let me be." The small and fragile boy cried into Josh's shirt. "Who? Who won't let you be?" Josh asked and looked around. "Blurry." Tyler whispered. In hope that the older boy wouldn't think he's crazy. "Who's blurry?" Josh asked as his thumb cherished the cherry red cheek. "He's my demon." Tyler whispered. "Does he go away?" Josh asked. "Only when you're around." Tyler said and hugged Josh closer. "Maybe I have to be more around then." Josh said and kissed the top of the small boy's head.
