(THIS BOOK IS MOSTLY VIEWED FROM SAM'S PERSPECTIVE)

I know I should stop..
The others have started thinking that I'm crazy.
Maybe they aren't completely wrong, but..
I just .. can't stop.

"Sam, open the door! We need to talk with you, for real" Corey shouts from behind the door to my room, while banging on it in desperation. I was sitting in bed, frantically hearing whispers. Small thuds. Knocks on the walls. Plus, one of my pictures on the walls keeps moving from side to side. I was used to it by now, but so weren't my roommates.

"No Corey. I can't stop doing the 3 a.m challenges. My fans want them" I shouted back.
A laughter, right behind me. Still, I did not budge. I should go out and talk to them.

But I somehow can't move my legs.

"Please Sam.." Corey begged loudly. Once again banging onto my door. I wanted to go, but something in me says 'don't do it' as if someone else is controlling me. Eventually, however, I stood up - struggling my way to my locked door. I open it, and I could hear a sigh of relief from Corey. At least I think it was from Corey..

I push the door open. Corey meet's my eyes. Eyes that hasn't gotten a good ounce of sleep in a month, or even two. Corey furrows his brows, and after I walked out he closed the door for me. Helping me walk downstairs where Aaron, Jake and Devyn sat. All having a serious face expression. It kinda terrified me.

"Sam" Aaron said, being the first one to speak up after I had sat down on the same leathered couch as them. Corey sat down next to Devyn, comforting her as more sounds all around us could be heard. I wish I was still scared of them, but for some reason they comforted me.
Not enough to sleep well though. Am I really going crazy?

"You need to stop doing these 3 a.m videos. We're being serious" Jake continued. Why did I think they were pulling a prank on me? This is serious matters, and I understand if they want me to stop doing them. But I also needed answers. I wanted to find out more. I look down at my hands, unable to answer Jake's request.

"Sam, these voices. The sounds. You're not the only one who's affected by them" Aaron continued after they were certain I wasn't going to answer Jake. Jake seemed hurt by it, but what can I do? I want to continue doing the challenges but I don't want whatever is in the house to hurt them. I decide to meet Aaron's concerned face expression. I could also see Devyn crying into Corey's shoulder. There are a lot of activity happening as we kept speaking.

"Believe me. Part of me want's to stop doing these challenges. Another part of me.. want's to keep doing it, to find answers. To solve stuff. And.. the voices, the sounds.. they're comforting to me" I speak. The last part getting all three sitting on the same couch to stare at me intensely. As if they're physically seen a ghost just now.

I am pale, but not see through.

"Sam. Please tell me you're not starting to get used to the voices" Corey says seriously. I turn to look at him and I swear I could've seen a small boy in the corner of my eyes just staring at us. I didn't mention it though, or flinch. I didn't want to further scare my roommates.

"I.. sadly am" I admitted. Aaron puts his face into his hands and hopelessly sighed into them. Jake stood up and walked away, completely disappearing from my view. I could feel the hurt coming from Corey's side. And the fear emitting from Devyn, directed at me. I avert away to avoid anyone's eye contact and soon started getting a immense headache. I put my hands onto my forehead and starts to almost huff in pain.

"..Sam?" Aaron whispers after hearing how silent I got. After hearing those pain filled huffs. Corey even got worried. Aaron however, stood up and sat down next to me. Rubbing my shoulder in an attempt to make me feel better. But my headache only worsened, and the touch from Aaron was the cause.
