Anthony's P.O.V.

I felt really bad for how I behaved.

What the hell is wrong with me? Why is this happening to me? Why can't I controll it?!

I was affraid, that once this happens again, I will do something even worse. I was affraid I'd hurt Ian. Or even worse.

But Ian himself made me somehow feel stronger. I don't know how. But he did.

I hope Ian isn't actually scared of me.

We just stood in front of the infirmary for few minutes. All the emotions I felt before were back again. And because of that, I was terryfied again.

I still can't believe it. What was thinking?! Of course Ian didn't leave me behind! God.. I really am stupid and useless, ain't I?

And because we obviously weren't through enough yet, the whole building started to shake. An earthquake. Not now!

Both me and Ian fell on the ground. Then I've heard cracking sounds. The floor is breaking! Shit, shit, shit!

As I predicted, the floor started falling apart just a few seconds later. I saw Ian falling with it. Then I felt my arm being pulled down as well.

I screamed as I fell, but soon, I hit the ground agian. Well... not only the ground. My elbow hit something. And as it did, I've heard a bloodcurdling scream. I looked up and found out I was lying on Ian's legs, my elbow crushing his calf bone. I got up as quickly as I realized it. The earthquake was gone, so it was no problem.

"Ian! Oh my god! I am so sorry! Are you alright?". Wow, I really am stupid. Of course he's not alright!

"Yeah, I am fi-", he tried to get up, but when he stood on the leg I fell on, he screamed out again. 

"Wait! I'll help you!"

I tried to help him stand up, letting him lean on me so he could at least jump on one leg, but apparently his other leg was injured too. 

He fell on the ground again with a large thud. 

"Geez, Ian! I am so sorry!"

"No, it's not your fault"

"It is. God dammit! Why do I always have to fuck everything up?!" I hid my face with my hands. 

"Don't be so depressed. You didn't do anything. I shouldn't have pulled you down. I am sorry... It was.. a reflex I gues..."

"Don't worry about it... well... If I can't help you walk around, I should probably at least help you to get to that wall so you'd have something to lean on" I grabbed him by his torso and did exactly what I said.

"Thanks man", he said with a sad smile.

I sat next to him without saying a word. Ian looked at me. "Are you alright?"

"Physically? Sure..."

"But...?"

"It's just... nothing. Nevermind."

"No, tell me!"

I looked at him and sighed. "I fee like I am going crazy. I don't know why. It might be the atmosphere in this school, it might be some of the spirits causing it... or maybe it's the fear. You have no idea how scared I was shen you left me there under the staircase. I've lost it and then... well, you know what hapened. But then, somehow, I am normal again"

"I hope", I added in a lower voice.

He put his hand on my shoulder. "You don't have to worry. I won't let anything bad happen to you" he smiled.
