*Awsten's pov*
Run. That's all I could do. The thing that I once controlled was now trying to control me. Damn me and my curious mind. It started with just looking out my window to see a girl in a red dress that glowed motioning for me to come with her. She seemed calm, and I felt like she knew what I had. My chest started to just glow not even blink, it confused me. My chest usually blinks, did this mean I didn't feel anxious? I stared at the girl for a bit longer and next thing I knew I was following her through a forest and at the end there was a table with a bunch of masks. The girl grabbed me and gave me a dark blue masquerade mask decorated with flowers along the top and a huge diamond that sat on the middle of the forehead of it.
When we walked through some vines I had laid my eyes on a huge group of people who were outcasts like me. But all of a sudden the crowd split right in front of me so I had a walking path, but then a tall brunette with a golden wolf masquerade mask appeared on the other side of the path. He stood tall and sophisticated, his hair was pushed back my his mask. I made eye contact with him then and walked to me. I was pushed his way and I walked to him, he took my hand in his and placed his hand on my waist and twirled us around, I looked into his eyes and they were a dark but intense blue. It felt like a second before everything went south. Something didn't feel right,
"I know who you are and what you are hiding Awsey.." the boy whispered in my ear.
I yelped and backed away, he grabbed my hand. I started to gag I seen as vines were slowly coming out of my mouth and so were flowers. The boy backed away and I fell to my knees and threw up. I looked up and seen as a snake was coming my way.
"Time for your meds Awsey!" it shouted at me.
~end of Awsten's mini episode~
"Awsten honey! Time for your meds!" Awsten's mother shouted to Awsten.
Awsten snapped back to reality and looked around and seen as he made vines and flowers go all over his room. His mother knocked and walked in.
"I said it's time for your medication Awsten," she said sternly.
"I don't want it. I'm fine..." he yawned and looked away from her.
She looked around the room and seen what happened. She sighed and handed him his pills. Awsten whimpered but took them.
Awsten always tried to get out of his medication, he had to take so many pills. Two for depression, three for the anxiety(even though those didn't work), and a handful of others. He hated feeling like a freak, that's all his mother ever made him feel like. A freak. He hated being smothered by her, he didn't like his dad either. His dad and mom would get into fights because his dad thought that they should just drop him off at an asylum. So at night when his mother had to work he was instructed to keep his doors and windows locked or sometime's he'd have to sit at his moms work.
Awsten's dad came in and looked all over and growled. Awsten backed onto his bed a little bit more. He looked at his mom and then down.
"He had another fucking episode again!" his father yelled
His mother whipped around and pushed his father out of the room following him. As soon as they left Awsten ran to the door and locked it and curled up on his bed. Sadly this was the norm for his family. His dad would find out that he had an episode and freak out.
"I just wanna go work...." he sighed and kept his knees to his chest.
His mom worked at a gas station so he would sometimes help her out around there. He got paid sometimes but he didn't really know what to do with the money so he just gave it back to his mom. He kind of liked going to the gas station, he could get out of the house. Sometimes his good friend Otto would come and they would help his mom out.
