Welcome Back To Reality

A Few Weeks Later

~Eliza~

I knock on the door and, as usual, Jefferson was the one who answered.

"Did he come out yet?" I ask.

"No" he replies.

"Im worried. He cant stay locked in his room forever"

"I mean, what do you expect? He watched his best friend die. Im surprised he didnt freak out"

"Well after all hes been through... Nevermind. I have a plan, but we're gonna need something first."

~Alex~

Unfortunately, i was not able to find Lee after John died. Partially because eliza stopped me before i could do anything.

So I just locked myself in my room. I think ive been in here for a few while though. I've just been writing and trying to forget what happened.

Ya know, I think I have a special skill. I haven't even left my room and i can sense someone brought decaf in my house. Wait...

I run out my room towards the kitchen. "Jefferson! I swear if you brought decaf coffee in my house you're dead!" I shout.

No reply. Huh, maybe he finally left.

I chuck the coffee out the window before turning to walk back upstairs when i see eliza block my way.

"H-hey 'liza... Where uh... W-when did you get here?" I stutter.

"Ive been here for a few minutes" she says.

"Ok well uh nice seein' ya. Bye" I walk towards the stairs but she moves in front of me again.

I glare at her. I really dont like where this is going so i try to move past her. "Eliza, please move away"

"No, you can't stay in your room forever. Im worried about you"

"Im fiiiine. Now leave. Please. Bye"

"No-"

"Ughhh whyyy?!" I curse under my breath before sprinting upstairs. Before I can open open my room door, someone carries me back downstairs. So out of reflex, i punched them.

I didnt know it was Jefferson. BUT i dont regret it.

I tripped and nearly fell when i moved away. "Ok, can someone explain to me what the hell is going on?" I ask.

"Well before you so rudely punched me" Jefferson mutters, "we were tryimg to get you out of your room. Youve been in there for weeks. Also, how are you even alive?"

"I have a mini fridge and microwave in my room, how else do you think im alive?" I say casually.

"We're just worried about you, alex." Eliza says. "You've been acting different since- wait, why are you wearing a long sleeve shirt?"

"I uh have no idea what you're talking about"

"You always wear short sleeve shirts. And i know for a fact that it's at least 10 degrees hotter in the Caribbean than in New York. Alex-"

"Ugh, i know what you're gonna say. The A/C doesn't work properly in my room and John was supposed to help me with it." I say while rolling up my sleeves. "Now are you done interrogating me or can I go back to disappearing from society?"

"Nope! You're coming with us so you can be social" she says.

"Ugh. But being social sucks"

"Yeah well, so do yo-"

I cut jefferson off. "Before you finish that sentence, theres a door right over there."

"Youre just mad because you know im right"

"...shut up..."

"C'mon Alex" eliza says.

"Fine." i put on my headphones, "only because of you, 'liza"
