I take my pills and I'm happy all the time...
Im Happy all the time...
Im Happy all the time...

Levi stared down at the floor. Music blaring in his eardrums.
He blinked, and the floor was an ocean.
He fell down. Air bubbles floating up and up and up. Deep blue surrounding him, choking him. Air escaping his lungs as they struggled. "Just wait it out" he muttered, he'd done this before, multiple times. The bubbles popped...
There was his bedroom floor again.
Damn. That hadn't happened for a while.
He grabbed a rubix cube from the side. Simple method of solving. Well practiced.
A noise startled his concentration, he looked back down and saw his hands were empty. "What...?" He wondered aloud.
Levi stumbled out of his room. The hallway seemed longer than he'd remembered. Darker. Each step he took forward was a fruitless endeavour, he wasn't going anywhere.
"It's not real.."he whispered to himself 
Something tripped him up and Levi found himself coming crashing forwards. A sharp pain stabbed his stomach.

I love my girl but she ain't worth the price
She ain't worth the price
No, she ain't worth the price...

He was looking down at the floor again. The pain hadn't left his stomach though. He brought a hand to feel for a wound.
It came away red.
Shit.

He stumbled blindly through the hallway to the kitchen. Scrambling to the first aid kit. It wasn't there.
There was however a needle.

He picked it up.

Bandages aren't the only ways to close wounds.

================================

"Hey Levi, you haven't been out your room all day,' Hannah knocked on the door, "you doing ok in there?"

No response

"Hey emo!" Kacey yelled "we'll come in ourselves if you don't answer!"

A small noise was heard through the door. Which prompted the two friends to open it.

Levi was lying on his bed staring at the cieling. This wasn't strange, aside from the lack of headphones. The worrying thing was the addition of the red stained shirt he was wearing.

"Um... Levi?"

"Yeh?"  He winced

"You're bleeding..."

"Wait..." He sat up, grimacing "it's real...oh shit..."

"That's a word for it..."

"I'm calling an ambulance..." Hannah stammered reaching for her phone.

"Wait don't." Levi spoke so harshly it caused both girls to stop. "I've sorted it" he grinned sickeningly "Im...fine..."
He lifted the bottom of his shirt to show them how he'd stopped the blood.

"See? I'm fine..."
