No paranoia

IV

Ethan had his head in his hand in shock then lift his chin up, tears filling his eyes but he blink them away

Thunder shaked the house and sadness filled the room

Jake was a really close friend to Ethan, he was his age and the fact that an 18 year old dies from a heart attack was hard to understand for everyone, especially Ivan who never believes it, he just has a feeling that everything that happened earlier has to do with Jake's death

"Go to sleep boys you'll be tired in the morning" ethan's father said as they both went to the room but before Ethan got in his father told him "Ethan i know it's hard but try to stay calm you know being sad is bad for-" Ethan didn't let him continue

"I'm okay dad, for the millionth time, there's nothing wrong with me" he said, his dad nodded and he went to his room

His expression was now mixed with anger, he just hates being reminded that he has  a mental problem, he hates it more than anything, why can't people just go along with it, he acts normal so why can't they act normal about him, he sat on bed, can't help tears filling his eyes, he was just talking to Jake the other day, now, just like that, he's dead? He's gone forever? That's hard to understand..

"Are you okay?" Ivan asked frowning

"I will be, maybe he's gone for the better, who knows what was waiting for him" he said trying to believe his words

Ivan smiled at Ethan's wise way of thinking, he wrapped his arms around him hugging him

"Don't change Ethan" he said

Ivan always loved Ethan's personality, everyone did actually, he never hated anyone, he was simple, no one knew how much he went through, but everyone know that we all go through problems and they all loved the fact that, despite all the problems he may have been through, he never changed

The sun was starting to rise but then it got darker in the room, as if something covered the window they both turned around to see it getting darker until the room was almost completely dark but it wasn't even raining

"You'll sleep?" Ethan asked, not even bothered by the darkness

"Will you?" Ivan asked

Then Ethan saw something red on the wall he couldn't make out what it said

"Yeah, i'm so tired i'm starting to see things" he said cracking a smile then layed down

Ivan fell asleep but Ethan couldn't, he kept staring at that thing on the wall till he finally understood it says " next"

He can't deny he was scared for a minute then he thought he's just tired so he lied face down bed but still couldn't sleep
