Help Our Soul -INCOMPLETE-

Chapter Ten-Past to Future

I was still hyper so Travis said that Tracy and I could hang out in my room and watch TV. So, that's what happened.

Tracy helped me to my room while Travis put my bags in my room, hell the room I was staying in even smelt sweet and comforting. Tracy and I talked about our problems we had facing at school and then for some reason my birthday was brought up...

"Happy late birthday by the way, Sixteen must be tough since you can't drive..." She said, I shrugged it didn't really bother me too much honestly. "I'm not bothered by it, my dad and father have driven me everywhere since I was a kid plus driving is the last thing I'm worried about right now.." I said, thinking about the bloody walls and everything that has happened within the past month.

I was a bit tired, sure but I didn't want to sleep. Not now, not with my father in a coma... When was he going to be safe? When was my family going to be okay? 'It'll get better,' my mind insisted. What if that was a lie, what if that was just something I was telling myself...

Tracy must have noticed me overthinking, maybe it was my lack of conversation or maybe it was because I was tearing up.

"It'll get better, Ivan. I promise... It doesn't feel like it but it will." She said to me, I shrugged. How could I believe that? What if I lose the only people I have... It's obvious whatever this thing is, wants me dead.... I need to figure out what it is and stop it.

"Ivan, Tracy. It's time to say goodnight." Travis said, I nodded and sighed. Getting up and getting ready for bed, all I could think about was my friend from high school, it was him and another person... It was all too blurry though, probably from everything happening now. Maybe I'd find them too one day.... That's right... One day...

Then I fell asleep, my mind was peaceful this time. No nightmares, no pain, nothing but sleep...
