Ryan ran to the top of the hill and looked back at the town. He didn't see Shane, since the place they were sitting at was pretty far away from his view.
Ryan panted, and he thought about what Shane had said. His best friend is a demon from the hottest pits of hell.
Ryan stood at the very top of the hill and looked at the town as the sun shown onto his face. He couldn't get a good glimpse of the town, due to the sun, but it was pretty from what he saw.
Ryan closed his eyes and tilted his head towards the ground. He sat down, curled up into a ball, and started to cry. What had he done!? He ran away from his best friend who was just being honest with him. Ryan knows he said that he'd never make fun of him, but he didn't expect that.
Tears fell down the boy's face, as he thought of Shane and his words. He felt horrible, but he couldn't go back to that moment.
"You okay?" He heard a voice say. It sounded like a child's voice. Female? Ryan whipped his head behind him and gasped. Sallie.
Ryan got up, and started to slowly walk back. The girl took a few steps forward when Ryan took a few steps back.
"I'm not going to hurt you. I promise! I'm a friend of Shane's." She says. She sounds desperate, but that's not what stopped Ryan dead in his tracks. It was the "friend of Shane's" part. He gave her a confused look.
"Really, I am. And he is too," Sallie pointed behind Ryan. Ryan turned around quickly to see the GoatMan. He gasped and fell to the floor. He stared up at the looming figure. GM stared down at Ryan. "That's why G never kicked Shane or anything. They're friends." Sallie continues. G holds out his hand for Ryan to take. Ryan hesitates and doesn't move. He's too scared. He feels lightheaded.
"I'm not gonna hurt you, Mr
Bergara," GM says. Ryan flinches when he says his name. He doesn't move for a little bit, but takes the demon's hand after a couple seconds. GM lifts Ryan to his feet and lets go of his hand. Ryan felt no sign of pain when the demon gripped his hand. He turned to face both of them, so now Sallie and GM stood in front of Ryan.
"Who are you guys? Well, I know who you are, but how are you here?" Ryan asks. GM looks at Sallie.
"We chose to bring you two here, actually," Sallie said.
"WHAT!?" Ryan yelled. GM sighed.
"I told you this was a bad idea." He said.
"Dude, this was your idea too." Sallie points out.
"Don't you dare drag me into your shit." He says. Sallie groans and then faces Ryan again. She stares up at him.
"Shane told you why we brought you here. And if you want to go home, you have to tell him the truth too." She clears. Ryan sighs.
"Not just any truth you've been keeping... but feelings." GM states. Ryan glares at the two.
"There's nothing I want to tell Shane," Ryan says.
"Stop, Ryan," Sallie says. "Just stop."
"We know you do," She continues. "We know you may not get to see Shane as often as you like. We know you may not get to go to scary places and feel comforted because Shane's not there with you. But deep down in your heart, we know that you like Shane."
"I know he loves me now, and that's what scares me," Ryan mumbles. Sallie and GM look confused. "Not that Shane's a demon, I don't really care about that. I do, but this is different. I just feel like one day...he won't love me anymore and that terrifies me. Hearing the words only serves only as a reminder of what I have to live my life without. I've already lost so much, and he wonders what I'm so scared of all the time. You guys and Shane especially, don't understand; him telling me he loves me, only lets me know that I have more to lose." Ryan started to cry again. Sallie walked up to him as Ryan fell to the floor, sobbing. He doesn't want to love Shane, but he does. Sallie rubbed his back and sat next to him.
"I'm not allowed to touch you, but I think this is an exception." Sallie jokes. GM chuckles, but Ryan doesn't get it. He doesn't need to, as Sallie's cold hand on his back makes him calm down.
"You need to talk to Shane. He misses you." GM says. Ryan looks up at him.
"He...misses me?" Ryan repeats.
"Yeah. I can feel it. You should know it." GM looks at the town. Ryan and Sallie do too. Sallie gets up and helps Ryan up too.
"He's right. You need to go home and the only way to do that is, to tell the truth." Sallie says. Ryan wipes his face with the back of his hand. He smiles at the demons.
"Thanks." He says. GM shrugs, but smiles. Sallie gives Ryan a giant hug and smiles at him. Ryan hugs her back, feeling weird that he can touch a demon he's never been able to see before. Ryan then walks back to the town, ready to find Shane.
"He's a good kid," Sallie said, happily.
"He's at least 33," GM said.
