Chapter 16

Calum
I don't understand.

Why was he here? I could hear him in my head but I couldn't see him. The yelling, they were always yelling.

I left, so why were my parents still yelling?

And they weren't the only ones. The man, I could actually see him. He just stood there, in the corner of the room, staring at me. He was always there too.

I could see him from the corner of my eyes, everywhere I went he was there. I could tell something was wrong with me. The boys didn't seem bothered, even when I looked right at him. The boys still couldn't see him.

He didn't say anything at first, he just stood there until I looked right at him, then he started whispering things to me, so the boys wouldn't hear. I knew they wouldn't but he didn't know that.

He told me things, like how Ashton was keeping things from us, he told me things like how the boys were planning to get rid of me.

I didn't believe him. He told me to do things but I didn't listen.

I didn't trust him, I couldn't. I mean, I didn't even know if he was real.

But then he said he could help me. If I did this one thing for him, then he would tell me what happened at the party and so much more.

But I didn't want to, so I tried to ignore him but then he started whispering to me even when I didn't look at him. And when I continued to ignore him, he stopped whispering and started shouting.

He wouldn't stop shouting! I already had my parents yelling, I couldn't take it. I gave him what he wanted, my attention. And then he showed me.

It was him at the party, he bit me. But he said he did it to help me, that I was important.

He did more for me too, when I went to sleep at night, he showed me what I could be if I listened to him. He showed me my family sometimes, when I missed them one night.

And that's why I decided to listen to him, because he even made them stop yelling when I asked. The weird dream I had was only a small price to pay.

But I realized too late that my parents weren't yelling at me, they were screaming for help, for my mercy.

But I had already accepted him, already granted him permission to tell me what I had to do. I was already in too deep and I don't even think I had enough willpower left to scream for help.
