Nightmare

One Pill, Two Pill, Red pill, Blue pill

      Eli went to another day of school. Paul is still boring, everyone ignores him. He started to doze off but kept awake knowing it would most likely end badly. What the hell even was that thing? And how could it hurt him, even though it was a dream? Was it actually there? Why does he not remember... "Hey Paul, did you see me walking home yesterday?" Eli asked walking over to his desk. "No, why do you want me to become a stalker?" Eli turned back and sat in his desk. Well that was pointless. Now Paul will think he wants him to be his fangirl or something like that.

The last bell rung and Eli walked to the nearest gas station. He searched around for pills that would keep you up. He didn't want to get hurt from the horrid creature. The slash wasn't the part that hurt most, it was his heart. His heart that read how the monster felt when it slashed him. It was loneliness, but at the same time a dash of anger. Eli stopped to pause. Maybe pills to keep him awake wasn't the answer. He had to try and ask the monster why it's so lonely. Who hurt it.

Eli runs back home and jumps on his bed. He goes under the covers and repeats fall asleep fall asleep fall asleep. No use. Thinking about sleeping isn't going to do anything. Eli walks across the house to go to the master bedroom's bathroom. His mom must have pills that help you fall asleep. "Aha!" Eli whispers and takes down a bottle full of light purple pills. He read the back and it said it helped you sleep so he took a few. One pill...maybe another... it's not working take another... one more won't hurt...

*everything goes black*

Finally asleep! Eli was proud of himself. Now all he has to do is find the monster and everything will be alright. Any second now...few minutes pass by maybe he's just late...trying to jump scare me or something I know what you're playing at beast. You can't fool me I won!

...Haven't I?

Everything becomes lighter and lighter until it's a faint grey color. I'm scared...somebody help this doesn't feel right...mom? Are you there sis? Anybody? HELP ANYBODY PLEASE COME SAVE ME! I DID SOMETHING WRONG IT DOESN'T FEEL THE SAME AS SLEEPING! SOMEBODY HELP!!!

Eli's memories fade before his eyes until he feels a light sting in his chest.

ZZZ CHKK TTTZZZ

He fails violently and realizes he's in a small room...no, that's not it. He's in an ambulance. Few people are buzzing fast around Eli and sticking different sorts of wires into his body. "I'm going to need for you to hold on a bit longer buddy we're almost at the hospital to get you flushed out." Eli closes his heavy lids once more. Maybe dying wouldn't be that bad? It wouldn't be painful since I overdosed...but it really was an accident. I have no friends anyways...who's loss is it anyway? Eli wakes up later on after he's all flushed out. Damn, here my mom comes about to kill me, this death will probably be more painful than just overdosing...

"ELI WHAT IN THE WORLD WERE YOU THINKING?! YOU ALMOST KILLED YOURSELF! I WOULD'VE NEVER SAW YOUR FACE AGAIN YOU IDIOT!"

*slap*

Eli's mom hugged him sobbing and gripping him tight. "Why Eli...why..." is all his mom could bear whisper through the tears. Because mom, Eli thought, I had to see the monster that had such a lonely touch...

I only wanted to help it.
