Pain- Byler

Part. 1

Will bolted up covered in sweat and tears. The dreams had been getting worse,way worse. He felt the sudden urge to draw,drawing helped everything. No matter what the pain was,drawing could cure it.

He grabbed a pencil from his cup and began drawing. He drew,and drew,and drew. He didn't even realize what he was drawing until he looked down and saw the familiar face of Mike. Mike Wheeler. The boy he'd been in love with for years. He sighed as he set his pencil down and decided it was time to get ready for school.

He walked to the bathroom and looked in the mirror,he was so pale freakishly pale, unhealthily pale. He splashed some water on his face,as he looked up all his surroundings changed. He was back. Black vines crawled up and down the walls,white floated around him. He heard a noise,a screech. He turned his head so fast,and as he did so he knew his neck was gonna hurt later. He looked at the creature,and the creature looked back. He screamed as loud as he could.

"WILL!" His mom yelled as he looked her in the eyes. He sighed out of relief as he hugged her. She let go of him and looked him in the eyes "Are you alright to go to school today?" "I-I'm fine,mom." "You sure?" "Yeah." "Okay." she replied reluctantly  before walking out of the bathroom.

He looked himself in the mirror wondering why he couldn't be normal,why it had to be him,why he was the way he was. He walked back to his room and got dressed. He threw on some brown pants,and an orange and brown striped shirt. He then grabbed his black shoes and a brown sweater.

He headed into the kitchen as Jonathon put a bowl of Cream Of Wheat in front of him. Will just moved his spoon around in his bowl since he wasn't hungry. "Come on,Will! Eat up!" Jonathon said a little too enthusiastically. "Why are you so giddy?" "Why are you not so giddy?" Jonathon asked. "Well,I did just have another episode,so........" "Oh. Sorry." "It's fine." Will said as he stood up and grabbed his backpack.

He headed to the door,and walked. Savoring the time he had without seeing Mike and El together. Everytime they would call eachother cute nicknames,hold hands,and talk about how much they loved eachother,Will couldn't help but wish it was him in Jane's place.

His heart dropped as he walked through the school doors,preparing himself for the pain of that school day.
