Who are you?

Chapter 10

(Will's POV)

He didn't deserve this.
However I did and if punishing me means swaying the scales, He doesn't care.

I couldn't take my eyes off of his small body.
Even without the restraints I'd probably still stand and watch.
Petrified beyond belief and frozen in place.

During the first slice of George's pale skin I wriggled a bit. The second cut by his ear made my stomach turn.
The third broke me.

The man in white pried open his mouth with a funnel and opened the bottle in his hand.
Slowly, he tilted the bottle until the liquid began to spill.
George wriggled in place.
Spluttering everywhere.
Blood, saliva and all of the above dribbled from his lips.

This is all my fault. I'm so sorry George.

Tears fall out of my eyes faster than ever but my expression remains the same; broken.

"Look at this, ladies and gentlemen! Our rebel has already had enough. But the fun has only just begun!"

A silver tray is handed to Him. He retrieves a tool and begins removing George's finger nails one by one.

"TAKE ME YOU BASTARD" I scream from the depths of my throat.
"HE DID NOTHING, TORTURE ME"

His grin widens and he turns to the camera, "Well you see, Will, we are torturing you"

I start screaming till my throat gives out.

This is your fault.
This is your fault.
This is your fault.
This is your fault.
This is your fault.
This is your fault.
This is your fault.

I can't bare it.
I want to die.
So, I began chewing on everything I can find in my mouth.
I bite holes in my cheeks.
Destroy my tongue.
Clench my jaw till my teeth break.

I open my mouth allowing the blood to flow out.
If I wasn't awake they can't torture me.
It's taking a while for the blood loss to temporarily kill me mainly due to my eyes being held open.
I hope it'd hurry up.
Suddenly everything goes black.

Im so sorry, George.

(George's POV)

It took them a while to figure out Will was unconscious.
His eyes were open but his mouth leaked blood and grains of his teeth.

Thank you.
I whispered to him.
The lights of the stage went off and the white curtains drew.

"Technical difficulties, we'll be back after the break" He uttered anxiously.

"What the fuck, Phil?" The man whisper yelled to someone.

"You were supposed to make sure he didn't do this! You had one job! One fucking job!"
"Im sorry boss, Dan needed some help and I-"
"Daniel this, Daniel that. I will send him back to Earth if you aren't careful!"

His voice faded out in the background.

"Um, sir. Our guest?" A woman uttered.

"Fuck, Celia, just send him back to Earth for now,"
"But what if they ask questions?"
"They won't believe him, trust me, I made them."

I blinked once and I was in the bathroom at our apartment.
I was sitting a top the lid of our toilet.

"James, pause it I need to piss."
Light steps made their way towards me.

The door swung open and Alex stood in front jaw on the floor and in his pink boxers.

"George!?" He looked confused.
"Yeah, hi?"
"Where 'ave you been?!"
"Um.."
"James!" His voice rang through the bathroom.
"Yes baby?- Holy fuuu-"
James was a bit taller than I last saw him.
"George!" He ran to me and suffocated me in a hug.

"How long was I gone?"

James and Alex looked at me funny.
"George, it's been 2 years"
"Actually 27 months since we last saw you" Alex added.
"What the fuck?" It was my turn to freak out.

"Where have you been?" James asked.
"I- I was in heaven I think?"
"Ok look I'm happy you're back but I gotta piss so can we wait a bit?"
Alex desperately asked.

"Yeah yeah, um, George let's go"

We walked down the corridor to our lounge, there's now a new couch.

James told me about the night I disappeared.
"Alex and I were on the couch figuring how we should address your situation, after confirming our relationship"
I nodded, remembering vaguely.

"And Alex went to your room to get you, your room was a mess and you were missing. At first we thought you left looking for Will but we grew even more skeptical when we found a Cross on a necklace. I have one too. All angels are given one to communicate with heaven without being there so I began to believe Will had come to kill you and that's what happened"
James's tone was softer.
"For a long time we believed you were dead. Other theories popped up but no evidence showed you existed"

"I'm-im so sorry I would've-"
I realised I couldn't of come back.

"Ok let's here an explanation," Alex walked into the room.

I told them everything.
And unlike what god had predicted, they believed me.

"George, are you...ok?" James seemed terrified after I described the experience in detail.

"Yes, I think so. I just hope Will is too."
