Help Our Soul -INCOMPLETE-

Chapter Eleven-Old Friends

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

The next day about 8:30 AM

I was waken up by the doorbell ringing and I got up, confused and honestly worried. Was it my dad updating me or someone just deciding to wake the whole house up for the hell of it?

I got up, threw some clothes on. Made sure my binder was on, you know all that shit. Went downstairs and ate breakfast but I could tell that it wasn't just Me, Travis, Tiffany and Tracy in the house. I heard talking in the other room, two males I guessed?

I just shrugged it off and continued to eat when I heard a familiar voice, "Oi, dumbass don't just ignore me, asshole." I looked toward the noise and felt a hug but at the same time it was like a choke hold, I couldn't help but laugh. This person was much shorter than me.

"Don't laugh at me you jerk!!" The smaller male said through laughing, I picked him up like a child and laughed, "You suck at trying to be violent, you know that right?"

He huffed and responded, "At least I can see what I'm doing, Ivannnn!!" I shrugged and put him down smiling, "Hey, Liz you weirdo." He patted my head and laughed

"There's someone else here toooooo~!" He said this teasingly, I was confused and then I heard another male voice, "Yeah, Ivy. There's another person here too~" He said this in the same mocking tone Liz did.

My face turned red, I knew exactly who it was. He and I haven't talked in years and when he did, he was always a smartass. The guy chuckled and stepped towards me.

"Fucking.... Why." I said, flustered and honestly a bit annoyed. "Oh, come on. You missed me!" He said, something told me he was smirking.

Liz fake coughed and huffed, "Allen, don't be mean!! He's been through enough as is, he needs support right now, remember?" He said this obviously hinting that we weren't here for him

So, your probably wondering. How the fuck do I know these people? I'll tell you...

Flashback: Two years, Ivan was known as Ivary. Age: 14

I was fourteen, at that point I really didn't have anyone. Maybe a headache and major depression because I was blind and nobody liked me but other than that, I had my dad's. That's it.

I was walking to the park after my father's lesson because I was bored and I was just curious of who I could scare off that day.

I sat on the swing, swinging because that's what I like doing. I heard a pair of footsteps, maybe two. One was lighter than the other. They came closer, chatting about school and drama which I didn't understand.

I was a home schooled kid with no clue of kids my age and so I just ignored it and kept swinging but then, the weirdest thing happened. One of them talked to me...

"Hey, you. What's your name?" One of the male voices asked. I shrugged and didn't answer, I didn't want to talk. The man asked again, "What's your name?" He said in a patient voice.

I was confused by this encounter but I finally responded, giving it this person wasn't going to give up. "I'm Ivary..." I said in a weak, depressed voice.

"Cool name, I'm Liz. The other dude is Allen." He said, a cheerful tone in his voice. I nodded and faked a smile, but they noticed apparently.

"You don't need to pretend to be happy, it's okay to not be happy." The other person, apparently named Allen said. I teared up a bit, nobody else really noticed when a faked it. Yeah, my father and dad did but when it came to normal people.... Nobody cared, nobody sat there and listened to me.

Then I felt arms hug me and I lost it, I started crying. I was wearing glasses to make it look like I could at least have a chance of seeing but I knew the truth.... These people, probably knowing I was blind.... Hugged me... Why?

"You looked like you needed a hug." Liz said, a bit of sadness in his voice. It sounded like he felt bad for me, but why? I was just a blind girl sitting alone in a park. Something about their voices made me call down slightly.

Allen, Liz and I became friends after that moment. They figured out I was blind, they came to my house and helped my dad and father and Allen and I got closer... We fell for each other, I was too shy and stubborn to tell anyone but Liz knew. He always knew what I was thinking, I never had to say anything for him to know.

That's all I'm sharing... The rest, I keep to myself.

Present day, Age: 16

That's how I met them, Allen had a part of me and Liz was always there. I was proud of it and now I got them back... I hugged them both, crying again like a sissy. They accepted who I was and Allen took me into another room and told me he didn't care if I was transgender or not... He told me he loved me the same.... God, how did I get so lucky...

They stayed for Lunch and we played video games, Travis sounded happy that I had them back and Tiffany was as grumpy as always and such... But you know what? I had a good day, I found my lover once again. I had my best friend back, I had Travis and everything.... Everything other than... My dad's....

"Hey, Ivan? Come here, what's wrong?" I heard Liz say in a worried tone, he dragged me off from the others and I told him everything, about the bloody walls, the scars, Todd being in a coma... Everything... And you know what?

He believed me, "Ivan, I'm so sorry that happened. Fuck that demon, we'll figure it out. It'll take some time but this will get better." He said, humming and holding me close.

In a weird way, Liz was like the mother of the group. Stopped us from doing dumb shit, made us food. Gave us advice, you name it. He did it.

Then, Allen stole me. What a surprise... "Hey, Ivan. How've you been?" He asked in a sweet and happy tone, "I've been okay, dealing with dad being in a coma and such."

"Yeah, I heard." He said, holding my hand. I blushed because, well... I'm touch starved and I missed him, a lot. He started talking about him being clean and all of these other things. It made me really, really happy.

We had dinner later that night, Liz was a chatterbox and talked about things that have been going on. I was happy and eating and the others sounded happy too. That night, Allen was gonna stay with me and Liz said he was gonna sleep on the couch.

I got ready for bed and Allen got ready for bed, we both decided it was time for bed. He held me close and I curled up in his arms, I felt safe... Something I didn't feel for a while

He kissed me and turned off the lights, I could tell because it got darker. He pet me until I fell asleep, I had nightmares that night....

That part made me upset, but I was safe.... Right...?
