Hey... It's Me

Chapter 15.

{TRIGGER WARNING IN THIS CHAPTER ESPECIALLY, IT GETS VERY DARK}

*Ellie's pov*

Theresa invited me to her place and said that I could stay the night. This is the opportunity I needed. I took a shower and then went up to her room where she was sitting down looking out of the window.

"What do you think about Tyler? Pretty cute huh?" I asked.

"Ellie, what are you talking about. Is that really what matters right now?" She replied.

She wasn't interested in anything I had to say.

"What were you guys talking about?" I asked.

"Nothing."

I'll do it now.

I opened my duffle bag where I kept my things and took out a knife. I cut her throat, her blood poured out onto the window.

"E-Ell.." She gurgled.

"Shhhh." I said. "It's okay now."

I smiled and watched her bleed out. Eventually she became a lifeless shell of what she used to be. I put some of her blood on my finger and wrote on the wall. I wrote "Tyler never loved her, he loves me." "She got what she deserved." and "I love Tyler." repeatedly as I kept smiling. Then I picked up her body and placed it on her bead. I took all my things and snuck out of the window then I changed out of the clothes that were covered in blood and I ran home.

Now Tyler is mine and I have no one to worry about.

*Tyler's pov*

I changed out of my suit and put on my pjs. Then I laid down on my bed and buried myself under the blanket. There was a knock at my bedroom door.

"Tyler, are you alright?" My mom said on the other side of the door. "Do you want to talk?"

"I'm okay mom, I promise. I just need some sleep that's all." I said.

Then she left. I didn't completely lie, I did need sleep but I wasn't entirely okay. I didn't even sleep. I just laid there with my eyes closed. Thoughts were racing through my mind. I took out a small notebook and wrote the words:

I will sing for you a song,

tell me if you think that's wrong.

If I let you know I'm here

'cause I am falling down.

I would laugh away the pain.

Did you know I'd run all day

Just to maybe hear you say

That you are falling too

I closed the notebook. By the time I finished writing those words, I had tears in my eyes. Why do I cry over everything? Crying is all I ever seem to do now.

*Josh's perspective*

If anything happened to Tyler, I'd never forgive myself. I don't care if I get hurt or anyone else. Tyler is what matters. His safety is my priority.

WHY CAN'T I GET MY HEAD STRAIGHT?

My emotions fight back and fourth at eat other. Fear and sadness. Anxiety and loneliness. Why does this have to happen. I guess I should be glad that I'm going through so much pain and Tyler isn't. Well, Tyler is in pain.

I sat curled up in a ball on my bed staring at the stars outside of my window.

Why can't we go there? To the stars. I wanna take Tyler to the stars then we finally won't have to deal with anymore pain.

There was a way to get to the stars, to end our lives. I'd take it myself but I'd rather wait till Tyler and I both go when the time is right. That might be a better idea than what I had in mind.
