"So Troy…seems like everything's perfect. Just try to gain your weight and don't practice over your limits." I nodded…if I could get what I wanted soon I wouldn't complain…
And I wanted my razor…
Troy's POV
As I fell on my bed that evening, my mind was still thinking about how to get my razor back. I rolled over so I was starring at the ceiling.
Finally I worked out a plan, it was simple and I guessed it wouldn't work. I changed and lay down, smiling.
DREAM
I was walking through the school's hallways; suddenly I heard a loud noise. – As if something had been hit. I turned around and saw an army of people looking like my dad following me at quick pace. All of them a belt in their hand, shouting at me to come back. I began to run as fast as I could, trying to get away.
The faster I ran the more they seemed to catch up. I turned left and was at a dead end. There was no escape, I turned around and saw them coming near me.
I stepped back and searched for the wall, but it wasn't there anymore. I took another step back and suddenly fell down.
I began to scream but no sound escaped my throat. Then I hit a soft material. I sat up, my head hurting and looked around.
All around me were black figures, grinning at me as they lifted their arms; the shelves fell back and exposed belts in all their hands. They started to hit me with them.
The more I tried to scream the harder they hit me.
Finally they parted and my dad stepped forward, a razor in his hand. He grinned and threw it on me, I could tell it would directly hit my eye…I saw it coming nearer and nearer…I started to scream, this time I could…
END OF DREAM
My eyes cracked open and I stopped screaming. It had been a nightmare. – Again. I brought a hand to my forehead and swept the sweat away. I tried my best to calm down again. It had only been a nightmare…another one with a razor.
I looked up and my eyes widened. My mom was sitting opposite of me, looking at me really worried.
"Are you alright?" She stood up and walked over to me, sitting down on the edge of the bed, pulling me closer. "I tried to wake you up but you wouldn't. You kept on trembling and whimpering." She had tears in her eyes.
I caught my breath again and nodded slowly. She raised her hand to brush some sweaty hair out of my face, I swallowed hard. I caught a glimpse of the clock. It was 8 am…that meant she would leave in half an hour.
"Nick told me about your drafts." She sounded serious and looked at me. I got back to reality. "What drafts?" I blinked a few times.
She stood up and walked over to my desk. Pulling out a sheet of the pile and showing it to me. "The ones like this." She was worried, I could tell by the look in her eyes. Almost saying 'tell me they are old'.
I sighed. "Mom, don't worry…it's nothing. I'm just trying to get my life the right way up again." I looked at my hands, they were still shaking.
She put the sheet down on the table and sat down again. "If you want to talk or if you need anything. Just tell me. I know we haven't seen each other in the past two years. Not even when Jack and I were bringing presents…" He stroked my hair back again. I nodded.
There was one thing I wanted, but I couldn't tell her to get me my razor…she would immediately get me to the hospital or a psychiatrist.
"No, there's nothing…" She nodded and kissed my forehead. "Try to catch some more sleep." She left the room and closed the door, while I sank back down in my pillows.
I closed my eyes for a few more minutes. I didn't want to sleep anymore, not after that nightmare.
Five hours later…
It was half past twelve and I heard Nick leave for school, today was a special day at school. - From one to two. One hour time to get to my dad's house and get the razor…
I stood up and got dressed, I needed to hurry up, I only had one hour time.
I put my shoes on and left the house, making my way to my dad's house. He was at school and Sarah wouldn't be home either, since she was at the hospital. The babies could come every day…I rolled my eyes at the thought and walked down the streets, carefully not to meet anyone who might know me.
It took me long to find the house. I wasn't used to getting there from my mom's house, but I managed to come there nevertheless. I had my key with me and opened the door, sneaking inside the house. I closed the door again and made my way up to my room.
My eyes immediately found the closet door and I rushed over, opening it and searching for my razor. I knew it had to be between my shirts.
Finally! I found it and slid down the closet and remained sitting on the floor staring at the cold metal plate. I hadn't felt it against my skin for over a week now…
I didn't look at the watch. – It was already 1:30 pm…my dad would be home soon. But I didn't notice. I rolled my shelve up and saw the red arm, it seemed ok. Yesterday the thread had been removed and now the skin would be parted again.
I took a firm grip on the razor and added pressure on my skin, feeling the blood coming to surface. I didn't stop and slashed the whole length of my arm, I started to feel dizzy and my head lightened even more. Before I could manage to get up and bandage it so I could leave, it all went dark…
Nick's POV
I just got home from school. I wondered why we had to go to school one hour, just to listen to the musical. It was the same as every year. Candace Tyler did it all by herself…nothing special.
I closed the door behind me. My mom was still at work. It wasn't the best thing to leave Troy alone, but she had said that these drafts didn't mean anything.
I walked upstairs and dropped my jacket on the floor. I turned around and noticed that the door to Troy's room was wide open. Normally he had it closed all day long.
I walked to the door and looked inside the room. I stepped in because I couldn't see Troy. I walked to the guest bathroom, opening the door, without success, Troy wasn't in there.
I searched the whole house for my brother. After I had finished I knew he wasn't there…but where was he? He wouldn't leave by free will I guess…
Then it hit me, practically. I didn't realize that I had been standing in front of the door and my mom had come home early.
"OMG, Nick I'm sorry…"
I shook my head. "Why are you here early?"
"I asked if I could go early since I want to look after Troy…"
"Well…" I looked down. "Seems like you're too late."
"What?!"
"He's gone…he isn't anywhere."
She looked at me, her eyes wide. "Are you sure? Why would he leave? He wouldn't by himself…"
I shrugged my shoulders.
"You don't think your father…" She didn't finish the sentence. – My mind wandered back.
FLASHBACK
I walked through the school; the musical had just ended when I passed my dad. I didn't say anything, just looked at him. – As angry as I could…
Suddenly he smiled evilly at me…
END FLASHBACK
"It was him…" I whispered.
"What did you say?"
"He smiled at me at school today. It didn't mean good things." I looked at her.
"It's not sure it's him…he lives quite a bit away…I'll call the police they'll search the area around the house."
I nodded. He wouldn't kidnap Troy, for sure…but if Troy wouldn't go by free will.
I shook my head. He probably just went for a walk. – Mom thought the same.
Jack's POV
I came home from my job, the stupid spring musical…I had seen Nick, but I hadn't Troy that meant he was still not strong enough to come to school. Not bad…
Just as I had closed the door and wanted to change to visit Sarah at the hospital I heard a thud from upstairs. - Directly above the kitchen. – The boy's former room.
I walked upstairs and saw the door wide open. I stepped inside and saw the boy lying on the floor, obviously unconscious. I walked up to him and saw that his arm was cut open again. The whole length. – I couldn't risk letting him die.
I quickly grabbed a bandage and stopped the flow of blood as good as I could. He was still unconscious. I just left him in the room, locking the door as I left.
He came back by free will, so why wouldn't he want to stay?
No One's POV
As Jack left the room, he didn't realize the razor blade still resting in Troy's right hand…ready to be used again…
NOT GOOD!!!
