Imaginary

The brunette walked home quickly, trying his best not to get noticed by the residents of Shepherd's Glen.

Alex silently walked through the front door of the Shepherd house. From the sounds coming from the Lounge; Lillian was knitting.

Alex quickly tiptoed up the stairs and into his bedroom.

In the safety of his room, Alex layed down on Josh's bed and sighed. A few tears fell from the boys eyes, but thankfully started to subside now that he was away from Toluca Lake.

"Alex...why are you sad?" A concerned Joshua said while walking toward the bed.

The elder Shepherd jolted upright, glaring at the angelic child.

"Josh. W-what are you doing here?"

The younger boy smiled.
"I'm here to see you!"

Alex's mind began racing with confusion.

"Josh are you real?"

The younger boy giggled.
"Ofcourse I'm real Alex!

"Then why do you keep leaving me?" Alex said sadly.

Joshua walked closer to Alex, giving him a soft hug.

"I'm sorry Alex...I wish I could stay for longer."

Suddenly Lillians voice could be heard from downstairs.
"Alex. Come down stairs, Elle's here!"

"Shit." Alex muttered.

He had no idea what he was going to do. Alex would either have to go downstairs, and leave behind an important chance to converse with Joshua, Or just quietly hide in his room and stay with his younger brother; hoping Elle would just get the hint that he didn't want to speak to her, and leave.

Before Alex even had time to think Elle began walking up the staircase.

"Alex...why didn't you come find me at the Lake?" Joshua said with a small frown.

The elder Shepherd's eye's from the door to the sweet little boy standing before him.

"Josh, I..."

"Alex are you in there?" Elle interupted as she knocked quietly on the closed door.

Alex took his gaze off Josh and looked at the door.

"Elle. Please, just go home."

Alex felt his heart break slightly when he looked back and realised Joshua was gone.

"Please Alex, just let me talk to you!" Elle pleaded.

The brunette looked down gloomily at the wooden floor.

"I'm sorry Elle, but I dont want to talk to you."

There was a breif silence for a moment.

"Alex you can't keep sheilding yourself from the rest of the world. Josh is dead and there's nothing you can do about it!" Elle blurted out in anger.

Alex stood and walked angrily over to the door; opening it.

"You couldn't possibly understand how I feel. Your sister is still alive. You are in no position to try and give me advice on how I should be acting."

Elle stared in shock at Alex.
"I'm sorry Alex, I-I didn't mean it like that..."

Ignoring Elle, Alex closed the bedroom door and sat back on Josh's bed; listening quietly as Elle exited the house.

"Josh...please come back." Alex whispered as he tried to hold back tears.

Alex sat for a few minutes, thinking about what Joshua had said earlier about the Lake.
Could he really be there? Alex needed to find out.

There was a slight drizzle outside.
Alex couldn't take his mind off that Lake. Could Joshua truly be there, or Alex falling into the grasp's of insanity again?

The brunette walked silently through the small backyard gate, shivering slightly as a bone chilling breeze blew past.

Alex rushed through the shroud of tree's surrounding Toluca Lake; just hoping Josh would be there waiting.

Ofcourse when he did arrive, it was as empty as it had been before.
Alex stared blankly at the small wooden row boat that rocked idly next to the broken pier.

The young adult walked hesitantly over to the boat, realising suddenly that it was the same boat from the night Josh died.

Alex frowned at the wooden structure.
He then suddenly noticed a white square on top of the small seat in the boat.
Picking the paper up; Alex noticed a drawing on the back.

It was a picture of a pink Rabbit standing in thick fog, there was a sign behind the rabbit; it read: Welcome To Silent Hill.

Alex stuffed the drawing quickly into his jacket pocket, and climbed into the old boat.

He didn't care if he wasn't supposed to be out there on the Lake. Alex was going to do anything to find Josh.
