I am what you really want
Newt was lying on his bed silently crying as he thought of all the things Eli had done, he hadn't asked him to vandalise the salon, or plant smoke bombs in the loft, or paint on Frankie's wall. He wanted Eli to stop, he was out of control, at this point Newt hadn't realised that Eli wasn't real and Newt himself had done all of those things.
There was a knock at the door and Darren came in, "Newt what's wrong you've been quiet lately and we're all kind of worried. Have you been crying?" Newt wiped his eyes, and then replied, "Its nuffin, I'm sorry I worried you I just……… it's nuffin, I'm fine." 'Was I really going to tell Darren about Eli, I couldn't he's my mate.' "Newt you know you can talk to us yeah?" Newt nodded and Darren left, as Darren closed the door Eli was revealed, "Eli? What are you doing here?" he whispered, Eli smiled and walked over to the bed, "I thought we would plan our next attack." "I can't do this anymore it's too dangerous, we could get caught." "What do you mean 'can't do it anymore?' do you really want everyone to walk all over you?" Newt shook his head, "I don't want you to hurt anyone." Eli laughed, "Yes you do, don't you get it, all I am is what you want me to be. You wanted me to attack so I did."
"What do you mean?" Newt said sitting up slightly, "Newt, I am you. No one else can see me or hear me, I do what you want, I plant ideas in your head that you secretly want to do but are too afraid. Those smoke bombs, the paint everything that I have done wasn't me, it was you. Of course you didn't really know you were doing it." Eli said, then he pushed Newt down on the bed and kissed him, at first Newt reacted and almost kissed him back then he realised he really DIDN'T want this, he struggled against Eli as he tried to get free. As he did Eli scratched Newt's face making it bleed and Newt yelped in pain. "Go away" Newt said, "Don't you get it Newton? You really want this and you will give in." Eli disappeared, and Newt quietly left his room and ran to the bathroom, he looked in the mirror. The scratches were still there bleeding freely. He cleaned his face up until the blood was gone, but the marks were still there as clear as day. Newt retired back to his room.
Frankie called Newt for dinner a little while later and Newt kept his head down refusing to let the others see what he had done. Jack was the one who spoke to him first, "Newt, how was school." "Fine, erm loads of homework so I'll probably be in my room for a while." He lied; in fact he didn't get any homework. "But you didn't have any when I went in earlier." Darren said, "Well I didn't have it out then." "But all your school stuff was out on the floor." "Then I'll need to tidy up." Newt said. "Newt look us in the eye and tell us what's going on." Frankie said, Newt raised his head a fraction and moved his eyes the rest, "Nuthin is going on." "Come on you can't even raise your head to look at us." Darren said, this shocked Newt and he raised his head to look him in the eye, then realised his mistake and lowered it again, but they all saw the scratches down his face. "Newt how did this happen?" Frankie asked shocked. "I don't know." Newt said as he ran off to his room.
As he slammed the door he realised Eli was again waiting for him, "Look, this is what you've done to me, I'm supposed to be your friend." Newt said pointing at his face. "Oh come off of it Newt you did it yourself, remember I'm not real." Realisation dawned on Newt, everything was him. "No, I didn't do it, you did." Newt said getting scared. Newt was trying to put distance between him and Eli by backing up, but he backed himself into a wall. "You know that I'm what you really want Newt." Eli said approaching him, Newt swallowed shaking his head, trying to convince himself more than Eli. When he looked up again Eli was less than an inch away from him. Eli pressed him against the wall and kissed him hard, for a split second Newt kissed back but then was attempting to push him away again. "You just don't get it Newton; I am what you have made me." Eli said as he reached behind Newt and made three long scratches down his back. Newt hissed in pain as the cuts now bled and Eli disappeared, Frankie, Jack and Darren came charging in his room after hearing Newt's cry of pain, they looked at Newt. Newt looked the same except for he had tears in his eyes, fortunately Eli hadn't ripped his shirt so the cuts were hidden.
"Newt, what's wrong?" Frankie asked, "Nuffin, I'm fine." He replied. Frankie held open her arms for a hug, he wearily went over to her and hugged her, as she hugged him she squeezed the cuts and Newt (Despite his best attempts not to) Hissed in pain, Frankie immediately let go, and the Jack asked, "What's wrong Newt?" "Nuffin, I've told you." But before Newt could react Frankie had lifted up his shirt; however Jack and Frankie could only see his front so saw nothing wrong. But Darren who could see his back said, "Bloody hell Newt what happened?" Frankie and Jack turned him around and were shocked by the three long bleeding cuts. "Nuffin happened; I fell over its fine." He said attempting to pull his shirt back down, "Are you being bullied at school?" "What? No." Newt said running out of the house.
He ran, convinced everyone was following him, he looked over his shoulder and saw no one but when he face front again, he realised he was running down a narrow alleyway, and then he ran straight into Eli. "Hello Newt." He said.
