In Love With A Cereal Killer [Book 1] (On Hold)

~Chapter 26 He Can Save You

Evan POV

I was starting to feel better about myself when Tyler started to comfort me. He's trying so hard and I can see that. He's a really good friend of mine and I'm glad he is. If he wasn't my friend, I don't know how would I be able to make it through the cold and depressing days of my life.

He was always there for me than and he's here for me now. I smiled to myself as Tyler wrapped an arm around me. "Everythings going to be okay.........I'm sure it will..." Tyler said trying to reassure me but now it sounded like he wasn't sure himself.

I sigh looking down, until something happened that made all my worries magically go away. "JONATHAN, YOUR ALIVE" I heard Luke yell from inside his bedroom. I was the first one to run to the bedroom door, I busted the door open.

I looked at the bed to see Luke hugging Jonathan to death. "Luke, plz...your hurting me" Jonathan whined and Luke quickly let go. "Oh sorry bud" Luke said patting his good shoulder. "Jonathan are you okay" I asked concerningly, I thought he was going to die. "Yeah I'm ok Evan, I'm just tired" he replied and I nodded.

I sat on the floor next to the bed as he layed back down on the bed to rest a little. I whimper a little seeing him in this condition, it's my fault he got hurt. "T-thank you" I mumbled out, looking away. I heard him chuckle and I turned my head to look at him.

Delirious POV

I sat up again and smiled at Evan while crossing my arms. "You better thank me, you bitch" I pouted at him and he laughed. "Ok, you don't have to be so cocky" he joked and I huffed. "Uhm, excuse me but I'm the one that save your life, if it wasn't for me...you would have been the one in this bed.....or worse killed" I said mumbling the last part and I felt a tear escape my eye. "I know............and I thank you for that, you risk your life for me and I'm extremely grateful.....but...why" he asked and I raised an eyebrow at him. "Umm, I'm just going to leave you guys alone, bye Jon, bye Evan" Luke said closing the door behind him.

I looked back at Evan, he looked at me confused and sad. "What do mean by that" I asked him and his eyes seem to trail off to the side. "Why did you risk your life for me when you could have easily died" he asked and the air in the room seemed to get more tense.

I gulped not knowing why, all I was thinking at the time was that I need to save him. There was nothing else on my mind, the only thing on my mind was him. He was my main priority, nothing else. "I......I...don't really know, all I knew was that I needed to save you................it was like.....like for a minute me and my delirious side was working together" I mumbled out, avoiding eye contact. It felt like we finally agreed on something.

It was like for once my delirious side was not trying to kill someone directly but to protect.....him. It felt like we both came to an agreement, I could feel it. I put a hand on my chest where my heart would be.......my heart itself.

It feels corrupted, it feels like someone put chains around my heart and deep down. I feel trapped and I could feel that my delirious' side feels the same. We both feel trapped and here I am, stuck with these emotions I never felt before. I look at Evan sadly but force a smile on my face.

He got up and walked to my side and leaned front giving me a hug. I hugged back tightly before letting go. "You rest and I'll leave" Evan said and I frowned a little at that.

He went to the door and opened it before looking back at me. "Goodnight Jon" he whispered and closed the door behind him, leaving me here in this dark room, all by myself. I just layed there, looking up at the ceiling.

~Little Time Skip

After a few minutes of just staring at the ceiling. I sighed, moving to my good side. I soon slowly closed my eyes letting myself finally sleep. All I could see was darkness and after a few minutes, I went into a deep sleep.

~Dream

I opened my eyes to see the usual darkness. I looked around before seeing a little spot light with a black figure sitting in the middle. I got up and they did the same, it was like they were mimicking me. I walked up to them as they stood completely still.

My eyes widen as I realized it was me....or should I say my delirious side. "Hello Jonathan" my delirious side said in a dark but soft tone. I just stared at my mirrored self, "are you just going to stand there" my delirious side asked in a surprisingly not threatening tone. "You know, it quite lonely..stuck here in these chains" he admitted then out of nowhere chains appeared around his wrist.

They were connected to the ground, that was not really visible but what I could see was that. There was some cracks in the chains, they looked like they would break with enough force. I stared at them until I remembered something.

~Flashback

I peaked around the corner to see Evan pressed against the building and a black figure in front of him. The figure holding a machete in the air, everything went slow motion for me.

Evan closed his eyes, like he just accepted death. I wasn't about to let that happen.......Crack, I could feel it. My delirious side, my blood was boiled with anger.

~End Of Flashback

"you know you can't keep them safe" I heard my delirious side say. "What do you mean by that" I finally spoke. "You know you can't control me.........unless" he paused for a moment. "You just forget about the past and your mother" he answered. "H-h-how can I, I just can't forget.....how can I ever forget" I cried. "Him" he simply answered and I looked at him confused. "He can save you, he can help you forget but I see it's not going to be easy, even after five years, you still have that killer inside you and I might never leave your mind but you must forget to learn to control me........your inner delirious....or you can kiss your friends goodbye" he stated which cause me to shiver. Everything went dark once again and I was soon left with my thoughts.

~End Of Dream

It's going to be a long and bumpy road for Delirious. It going to be hard for him to forget about his dark past and the death of his mother. He's been through so much and it going to be hard for him to just forget. Even after five years, he couldn't get over the death of his mother but Delirious' delirious side might not ever leave him. He might be stuck with him forever. Well, you know the usual, I hope you enjoy this chapter. Bye, Bye. 😅👋
