Talk To Me

"Have you ever tried to do reasoning with me?" Jake talked back, "No, you've never so how can you just go around just claiming shit only you noticed. Have you ever asked me what I feel? What I think?"

"DO YOU THINK I DON'T CARE?! I WANTED TO APOLOGIZE TO YOU FOR SO LONG!" Andrew pushed Jake on the bed.

"I apologize." Andrew apologized whilst decreasing the distance between the two of them.

"Stay back." Jake warned putting his hands on Andrew's shoulders defensively.

"What if I don't want to. What will you do then?" Andrew smirked.

"You're forgetting aren't you? Whatever took place today?" Jake threatened and for a second his eyes seemed to change color.

"Ehem! Of course I was just playing around." Andrew tried clear out his record.

"Oh my Andy! You're a really bad liar." Jake mocked, "I can just about whip you right now." Jake spoke in seductive tone.

This didn't sit well with Andrew. The sudden mood swing made him push Jake off, who was currently hovering over Andrew.

"Aww. Doesn't Andrew want to 'play around' anymore with little old me?" Jake mocked Andrew again.

"I don't. I still have a little dig-" Andrew got cut off Jake, "Now you know how it feels to get hit on. Someone get a load of his bullshit." Jake sighed.

"Explain why you left me even when you knew everything." Jake silently questioned.

"I-I... I was threatened and beat up. You know those guys that used to bully me? The one which you saved me from... they found out where I live and beat me up to tell them where you lived. I didn't tell them. I delayed meeting them at the place I had set up the meet at. The day after that I didn't even get the idea to step out the house and in 2 days we had already left for Japan."

"DID YOU EVEN CONSIDER TO JUST SAY GOODBYE?! INFORM ME?! WE WERE BEST MATES! YOU FUCKING RUINED EVERYTHING!" Jake pushed Andrew harshly.

"We-We still... are." Andrew silently retorted.

"YOU FUCKING BULLY ME! BULLYING IS NOT FRIENDSHIP! But heck, I really do doubt you understanding my words." Jake scoffed, still further adding, "I don't care anymore about whether you're sorry, willing to say and swallow your pride or not but I am sure as hell, we are not and will never be like we were before ever again." Jake sighed controlling anger, "Just, go wash up and get ready for bed."

Andrew yet again wanted to talk back and say no but what was his supporting reason going to be now? Defeated, his eyes brimmed with tears as he finally looked up at Jake, he was on his computer with headphones on.

"Can we watch a movie?" Andrew asked despite being teary-eyed, "We do have snacks and drinks."

"What genre?" Jake questioned back unbothered.

"Horror." Andrew sounded confident saying that.

"Sure. Chose a movie and we'll begin." He turned his laptop towards me.

<After Choosing A Movie>

Jake's Point Of View

I had the movie downloaded on my laptop already. It felt kind of silly, the fact that he chose the movie which was the least scary. Why did you even chose the horror genre when you're still scared of the horror genre, like make it make sense.

I scoffed at this thought and eyed the boy sitting next to me, latching onto my arm for dear life even though the movie didn't start. I was kind of intrigued by this behavior. For me, I never felt fear as you feel fear because you have something to lose... I don't. What was there to lose when I was six... nothing that special. The only thing I had to treasure was my mom but not even she is here, the only thing I have left is my sanity that I'm literally latching onto. I know that sooner or later I'll lose this too. I hope I die before that happens.

"So stupid." I mumbled to myself.

"Did you say something?" He asked me.

"No." I simply brushed his question off.

I rubbed my eyes as I felt a bit tired, when I put my arms back to their previous position I saw a man standing in the far corner of my room. When I blinked again he seemed to disappear. I sighed... I don't think this is fear, it's annoyance. No one is allowed to step in my room without my permission. If they appear again, they should be prepared to be beaten the fuck up by me.

"Please shut this off. I'm scared now!" Andrew clasped onto my hand, this time tighter than before which confused me. The hold before this one was not that strong of a hold for him? He could have landed a harder punch on that bastard that I knocked out today. Weirdo.

"CLOSE DOWN THE COMPUTER!" Andrew shrieked.

"Do you see that man too?" I asked Andrew.

"Which man?" He cross-questioned me in a petrified manner.

"DUH! THAT GUY! STANDING RIGHT THERE." I pointed at the dark corner... where he was standing. I could see him, he should be able to as well.

"If you're doing this to scare me... it's definitely working but I seriously dislike this humor. Stop." Andrew deadpanned.

"So... you can't see him?"

I stood up and went towards that corner, curiosity getting the best of me.

"What are you doing? Where are you going?" Andrew asked baffled.

"Towards him." I rushed towards male figure.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" I asked the shady figure.

Nothing. No response.

"Hey mister! I'm talking to you. Answer me back! I don't tolerate people that don't answer me back when I ask them something." I turned them around by their shoulder and came face to face with someone I never wanted to lose, all bruised and bloodied up.

"Mom..." I trailed off with tears in my eyes, "Y-You came back!" I stuttered further on.

"STAY AWAY FROM ME!" She screamed loudly, it felt like my ears would burst from how loud her voice was.

"Mom, I'm here! Tell me, I will save you! Just... tell me." I rushed too embrace her as soon as I did though she turned into this black monstrosity that was way different than how my mom looked like.

"WHY ME?!" I felt a really painful headache taking over, it became so unbearable that I doubled over in pain.

"Andrew!" The last thing I remember is falling down with everything blacking out but I did not feel myself crashing to the ground.
