Chapter Sixteen

Josh hurried all of his family members out of the house and into the car.
His house caught fire just before they all left.
More bombs have gone off.
They aren't just little bombs they are huge.
One house went down just from one bomb.
It's a good thing people weren't in there.
Josh and his family were going out of the state where his grandpa and grandma live.
This felt like the end of the world.
Maybe it was the end of the world.

Cry Baby slightly opened a curtain to look out of the window.
The sky was clouded by smoke.
You could see a fire in the distance up on a hill.
The anxiety in Cry Baby was insane.
She couldn't handle it.
She felt herself getting dizzy.
This always happens right before she faints.
Cry Baby lays down on the floor so she doesn't have to fall when she faints.
Her palms started getting sweaty.
Her eyes started to hurt.
She was going to faint and she knew it.
Her eyes watched the ceiling menacingly, waiting for the impact.
She was in Blurryface's bedroom on the floor.
If he walked in and saw her he'd probably freak out.
Cry Baby's vision starts going blurry and swooshing things around.
Her head hurt badly.
Then she fainted.

The sound of blood running in her veins filled her ears.
Her blood splattered all over her face.
Twitching nonstop.
Her eyes left deadly open.
Finger tips shaking.
Her body laid in the tub.
Her head tilted to the side.
She didn't react to the piercing pain in her temples.
Or her back.
Blurryface stood over her.
Still his eyes were concentrated on her.
His black hands twitched.
The water continued to run down his stomach.
The water engulfed Cry Baby and went down the drain.
Her legs were bent because she was too tall for this old tub.
Children's laughing could be heard.
But it was just voices in Cry Baby's head.
Repeating the same thing over and over again.
She's a cry baby.
Cry baby, cry baby!
Her nose bled.
The white tub started filling with her red blood.
Blurryface's shaky hand rushes over to the faucet and turns it off.
It made a squeaky sound as it shut off.
Blurryface stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel for himself.
He wrapped it around his waistline.
He stepped forward to the big mirror that was placed on the wall.
He looked at himself angrily.
His eyebrows narrowed.
The redness in his eyes flickering.
His fist raised in the air and slammed into the glass mirror.
The whole thing shattered in pieces.
He had lots of power.
Cry Baby watched his hand start to bleed.
He didn't react to it.
He just walked out of the room and slammed the door behind him.
Cry Baby sat up, slowly.
Then she started coughing a lot.
Choking up her own blood that was in her throat.
It went all over her thighs.
Her eyes watered as she tried to catch her breath.
She couldn't catch her breath.

She's a g-goner.

The voices got louder.

Cry Baby continued coughing up her guts.
Her face turned red.
She couldn't breathe.
More blood came out.
It wouldn't stop.
It just kept coming out.
Spilling onto the floor of the tub.
Cry Baby lost control of herself.
She fell back asleep, hitting her head on the faucet.
The thing is, she wasn't asleep.

Cry Baby woke up.
Her head throbbed and pounded.
She placed her hand on the top of her head.
Where all the pain was.
She looked around her area and was still on the floor where she fainted.
But something was different.
Cry Baby stood up and saw something on the bed.
A stuffed animal.
A teddy bear.
It had a pink and blue bow around its neck.
A card sat on its lap.
Cry Baby grabbed the card from the bear and read it.
