Chapter 9: Josh

Guns. Guns. Who doesn't love guns.

Medicine. Medicine. Nobody likes medicine.

Medicine is for people who are sick.

I'm not sick.

Am I sick?

He tells me to take my medicine. He says it will make me better.

Do you think I'm sick?

He makes me scared. He has me choose things I don't want to choose.

He grabs my mind and twists it. He makes me sick.

He stares at me waiting for me to break.

He is making me fall apart.

He gives me medicine. He thinks I'm sick.

They don't think I'm sick.

They don't pressure me to do something.

I'm normal with them.

They think I'm normal. Right?

Chris is my best friend. He makes me calm. Makes me sane.

Sam is pretty. I like her.

Kate is funny. She makes me laugh when the world is closing in.

Matt is honest. I trust him.

Mike is strong. He protects me.

Em is smart. She corrects me.

Jess is fun. She entertains me.

The fact they have to do all these things adds to my fire.

They take care of me like my parents never did.

They blame me for killing them.

They think I'm sick.

They think I need medicine.

Hi guys! Hope you enjoy this chapter! Sorry for the lack of chapters lately but this one took me a while to write. I had to figure out how to get inside of Josh's head. Pretty crazy in there right? Do you have any idea who "He" is? Thanks for reading! Plenty to come!

IeatBooksForTea= Yes that was intentional it was hard to write the thing I was trying to tell in 3rd person so I did it in 1st person. Loving your story too! 3
