I walked down the street side by side with Eddie. As we walked by the black abandoned house Eddie reached for his pills. He always got anxious around the abandoned house, and I didnt blame him because it did too. His pill case slipped out of his hands and fell to the ground, scrambling to pick them all up.
"Shit" Eddie mumbled.
I stopped mid reach and a shadow appeared over the cement. My eyes slowly trailed up, stopping at a man standing above us. Green and yellow puss oozed from his mouth and eyes. "E-Eddie"
"We're almost done"
"Eddie" I repeated myself more firm.
"What-" He looked up, meeting the gaze of the homeless man reach his hand out with one of Eddie's pills
"Eddie"
Eddie fell back onto his butt and started to scootch away. I didn't know what to do as I watched the man move closer to him, stumbling like a zombie. Eddie scrambled to his feet, running into the yard of the abandoned house. I snapped out of my trance when my friend was out of sight. I immediately started running the way Eddie had gone. Once I was behind the house, I saw him terrified leaning against a fence with a clown that held multiple balloons looking down at him.
The fear plastered on his face told a whole story. My mouth hung a bit low and I was breathing heavily.
"Hello Y/N." The clown laughed. It's head spun around while his body nailed to the floor. The clowns yellow eyes started to sparkle and Eddie gave me an evil smile.
"Eddie!" I called out in a panic.
"Looks like he's gone" The clown spoke. Eddie turned around and crawled out through a broken part of the fence.
"He wouldn't-" I looked at the fence in disbelief "He wouldn't leave me.."
"Well he did" The clown's smile left his face
I watched as the clowns body turned the same way his head was and begin to walk towards me. His red balloons started to pop from their triangle formation. Once it started to slowly take a few steps towards me I twisted my body around. I could feel tears start to form in my eyes and my heart start to pound at a fast pace. But when I fully turned around the clown was there right in front of me.
"Don't you wanna play?" The clown smirked down at me, his buck teeth turning into sharp razors.
My lips were ajar as if I was about to say something but nothing left my mouth.
"Fear" He smiled
My eyes were locked onto his face as his mouth began to open. I felt a tug on my arm then someone dragging me away. I blinked and the clown was gone. I kept my eyes on where the clown once was as my legs kept moving under me. I hadn't moved my gaze from behind me, even as I was pulled to the ground and under a chain fence into someone's arms. Tears poured down my cheeks as I latched onto the person, not caring who it was. When I finally looked up I saw Eddie through my glossed eyes. I pushed him away and stood on my feet as he did.
"You left me!" I scream at him. My voice cracking. "You smiled and just simply walked away!"
"That wasn't me" Eddie tried to explain.
"It was you! It was" I cried "You know! You know my biggest fear is being left behind!"
"It wasn't me!" Eddie yelled pulling me into a hug "It wasn't me"
I hugged him back and fell into his arms.
"It wasn't me" He spoke again "I wouldn't ever leave you behind"
My tears continued to fall down my cheeks as Eddie held me close. I could feel Eddie shaking and I could tell that he was trying to seem like he was brave. I knew that adrenaline was pumping through both of our bodies.
"C'mon let's go, We shouldn't stay here" Eddie gulped after he spoke.
