True Potential

Chapter 3 ~ But I would Be Lying

~Blake's POV~

I quickly ran to home, avoiding rocks and sticks in my way. After the long trip I finally got home, I checked the time on my phone, 9:24, good. I put my phone back into my pocket and opened the door, the lights were off, everything was quiet. I set my muddy converse on the mat next to the door, I grabbed a banana and walked upstairs. I walked passed Johanna's room and walked into my and Red's room, but since he isn't gonna be here for a while it's officially mine! I took off my red jacket and set my bag down on the floor, I removed Umbreon and Growlithe's pokeballs off of my belt and removed my belt. I set the two on my desk, I grabbed some clean clothes and headed to the shower. I locked the bathroom door and turned the shower faucet on, I watched the water trickling down from the shower head. I put my hand into the water, checking if it's warm enough. The water was not too hot or too cold. I stripped out of my clothes and put the clothes in the hamper then stepped into the shower, rinsing all the mud off of me from all the mud puddles I stepped in.......and possibly jumped in.

I turned off the shower head, then I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around me. I grabbed another towel and wrapped it around my head. I put on some sleepwear, a red sleeveless shirt and black pants. I removed the towel from my head and dried my black hair with the towel, when I finished drying I grabbed the brush and brushed my hair. When I finished I walked into my room, I sent out Umbreon and Growlithe. "Growl!" Growlithe cried, "bre!" Umbreon cried as well. I smiled at the two pokemon, I walked to my desk where my laptop was. I opened the laptop screen, I checked if I got any messages while I was gone. As I was checking I got a Skype message, it was Red. I accepted the call and sent me to facetime. "Hey" Red asked, "Sup" I replied back. "So, did you get to choose Charmander?" I asked, Red nodded and showed me the lizard pokemon, I smiled at the Charmander. "Oh and Red" I exclaimed, I picked up Umbreon " Eevee evolved into Umbreon!". "Cool!" Red exclaimed, I nodded and set Umbreon down. "Well gotta go, I'm going to challenge a gym tomorrow" Red said, I waved him goodbye and we both signed off.

I logged off and closed my laptop and jumped into my unmade bed, aahh, the joy of not making your bed in the morning. I grabbed the gray blanket and cover myself with the fluffed blanket, Growlithe and Umbreon jumped onto my bed and layed on the edges of my bed. I soon closed my eyes and drifted off.

~Dream~

I stared at my parents hanging from the ropes, but this time my house was on fire. I looked around, I was engulfed in flames, I couldn't see Growlithe nor Eevee. I looked back at my parents, I noticed a third rope hanging from the ceiling. I was walking up to the rope, I tried to stop myself, I did everything but my body refuses to listen, all I could do is watch. Watch myself take my own life away, as I walked to the rope I saw blood dripping from my parents mouths, and I was stepping on the blood like it wasn't there, I was now making bloody footprints on the wooden floor. I walked past the rope, I was confused at first but then I noticed, I was walking towards the knife;

someone, please, stop me....

I grabbed the knife, I was slowly raising the knife above my head. no, please, not like this,

 don't do it...p-please

 I heard a thump, I quickly turned around, I was on the floor, motionless, just a limp corpse. I wanted to curl up in a ball and just cry, cry until I can't try anymore. I noticed two figures in the smoke from the flames, it was Growlithe and Eevee...now I wanted to cry, seeing their cheerful, happy eyes to fear, and sad. I wanted to just hug them and tell them everything is going to me okay

But I would be lying..
