Holding Onto You ~ Joshler

Chapter 9

" OW, FUCK ! MOTHER FUCKER!!!", i yelped out as the shard of glass in my back was assessed by the doctor, she touched it sending a shock of pain throughout my back. J0sh was waiting by the door with an extremely worried expression, he had his hand clamped to his mouth and he flinched every time i screamed.
" Okay I'll just put some numbing gel around the sensitive area and we'll get started", Dr. Jardine proposed.
"Numbing gel ? You mean to tell me you've been poking and prodding me for five minutes while i'm sitting here in complete agony and you have numbing gel ?!", i yelled. She rolled her eyes and stood, opening a small cabinet behind her.

A few hours later and i was discharged from hospital and free to go home, i walked down the street with Josh ; i didn't notice it straight away but we were holding hands.
" Uh, so, i was wondering..", Josh started. " I mean, we've been through a lot with each other.. And.."
" Yes, I'd love to", i finished for him. He looked at me and smiled widely, i noticed a redness in his cheeks too.
" Uh, great ! Where do you wanna go ?", he asked. I thought about it for a while be fore answering.
"Lets watch a horror movie", i proposed. Josh looked at me like i was crazy, and then he laughed.
" That place has seriously messed with your head", he commented. Maybe it had, maybe it hadn't, but if i learned anything from my trauma at the asylum it was that i really liked it when Josh was comforting me. He would hold me tightly and assure me that everything was going to be okay.
We walked home in our blood soaked clothes, people giving us crazy looks, in fact i wouldn't be surprised if one of them called the police. We got to my place and i let Josh borrow some of my clothes because his were literally soaked in red. When we were all cleaned up i out a pizza in the oven and put a movie on called ' Annabelle '.
" You're serious ?", Josh asked me. I flashed him a cheesy grin.
" Seriously serious". We watched the movie together huddled really close, i had my face buried into his neck and he wrapped his arms around my waist tightly. There was a scene where the woman was running up a dark stairwell with a demon chasing her and it really shit me up, i bet not a lot of people could call this move relatable. Josh pulled away from me slightly and make me look at him so he could plant a kiss on my lips. I kissed back, even deepening it a little and we made out throughout the entire scene. When he pulled away he looked at me and smiled slightly.
" Do you wanna be my boyfriend ?", he asked quietly. I had to stop for a minute to fully register what he just said to me, d..did he just asked me to be his...
" Yes !", i blurted out. His smile grew wider and he kissed me again, passionately this time. I moaned lightly and wrapped my arms around his neck. He pulled me on top of him, making me straddle him and then hooked two hands on my thighs and picked me up, walking up the stairs with me. We got to my bedroom and he lightly settled me on the bed, ( making sure i didn't hurt my back ) and crawled on top of me. He slowly rocked back and fourth, making me moan and writhe around underneath him. He pulled out of the kiss and smiled down at me.
" Wait here baby?", he whispered, i nodded and he got off of me and walked out of the room.

* Josh's POV *
I left Tyler's room and made my way to the bathroom, i got to the basin and turned the cold tap on, cupping my hands so i could feel then with cool water and splashed my face with it. I didn't feel quite right, ever since i left the asylum i've been feeling strange, i kept telling myself that it was because i had been through a major trauma but that wasn't it, there was something else.. Someone else, looking at me in my reflection. There was a man smiling evilly where my face should have been in the mirror, he had light yellow/gold eyes, a long nose and a grin that just made me want to punch him in the face.

Tyler: Was it over ?

Josh: My brain started to go fuzzy..

Tyler: It must've been over...

Josh: Like my head was being clamped, i tried to fight the urge to close my eyes..

Tyler: It should have been over...

Josh: I started to cry blood, i writhed around on the floor before it all went black and i slipped out of consciousness.

Tyler: It wasn't over...

* Tyler's POV *
" Hush little faggot don't you cry, the doctor gonna kill you, i'll watch you die ", Josh chanted loudly from the bathroom. My eyes widened as fear arose inside of me. No, no, that can't be, the spirit should still be stuck in the asylum. Josh walked back into my room and shut the door, he cocked his head to the side and pouted.
" Don't look at me like that baby, i thought we were gonna have a good time", he taunted. I recoiled and backed up into my room, as far away from him as i could possibly go before i hit a wall. He stepped closer with all the confidence in the world.
" Stay away from me", i ordered. Of course he didn't obey, he took another step before grabbing me and throwing me on the bed. I whimpered because he threw me on my cut and it stung as it suddenly hit the mattress, he climbed on top of me and hit me, hard, around the face. I wrapped my hands around his throat and yanked him down, head butting him. He groaned and i managed to push him off of me and run out of the room, i could hear him cackling behind me as i ran down stairs into the kitchen and grabbed a frying pan, why ? I wanted to knock him out not kill him. Soon he joined me and ran at me, i dodged his attack and hit him over the head with my frying pan as hard as i could. He fell limp to the floor. Then the lights started flickering on and off, the pictures on the walls fell, making the glass smash, all the knives in the kitchen floated in mid air and pointed directly at me. They all flew at me quickly and i duct behind the kitchen island, dodging all of the knives. I heard laughing, it wasn't coming from Josh, or any specific part of the house, it was just there, much like in the asylum with all of the voices...
