Part 5

I look down at my arm. My (F/C) hoodie's left sleeve was torn right off and red was spotting through the bandage. 

"I don't think even a monster would believe me." I mumble.  He chuckles.

"Kid, I know more than you think." He says as he lazily sits on the opposite side of the sofa. I push myself more into the arm rest, trying to keep a distance.
