Chapter 11- tortured/beaten/abused, talks with Pete, writes in notebook, is close to death, saved by police

Chapter 12- wakes up in hospital, met by Dr. Johnson, refuses to talk unless Pete's there. Is told Pete is gone, isn't told where.

Chapter 13- Goes back to Mrs. Love's home, doesn't talk, doesn't interact with anyone, goes to the park to think for a while, thinks he heard voices

Chapter 14- Justin keeps trying to talk to him, he won't talk, he just ignores and writes and goes to the park where he finds Pete, hears voices doesn't tell anyone.

Chapter 15- Talks with Pete for a while, still hearing voices, changes into Mikey, changes back at end of chapter

Chapter 16- Pete explains what just happened, Patrick looks it up on his phone, realizes who the voices belong to, he pukes out of stress and tells Pete not to tell anyone, Pete agrees

Chapter 17- Patrick keeps changing, he keeps meeting up with Pete, Pete tells him it'll be alright, Patrick doesn't believe he's really crazy, doesn't believe it's actually happening,

Chapter 18- getting harder to control when he changes, meets up with Pete at the park, talks about changing so much and how horrible the voices are, Pete admits that he hears them too

Chapter 19- Patrick gets mad at Pete for not telling him, leaves. Goes home and writes, runs a chore for Mrs. Love. When he comes home, he blacks out and turns into Gerard

Chapter 20- Gerard takes over and beats Justin. Mrs. Love stops him and eventually Gerard blacks out. Patrick wakes up locked in his room. He beats on the door until his knuckles are bloody and eventually police come and take him to the jail. At the end of the chapter, he's sent to the mental institute

Patrick's lie to himself: He dreamt it all up that he was raped by Pete. Pete isn't real and he was traumatized by the nightmares that wouldn't go away and the nightmares began to happen five years before. He doesn't believe anything else. Claims the scars are from self-harm.

True story: Patrick grew up in the drughouse when his parents left him there. He was beaten daily, barely fed, and forced to sleep in the bathtub 24/7 unless someone went in there and, stressed, raped him. He didn't learn anything and had to learn a lot of things (like how to talk) on his own. Pete was the only person who cared for him because he was the youngest in the family. He was beaten, too.

Patrick underwent extreme emotional, verbal, physical, and sexual abuse. A few of the younger teens who had no sympathy tried Chinese water torture once or twice just to see if it would work.

At twelve years old (five years before), a sympathetic client who came to the drughouse one day, called 911 and had Patrick and Pete taken to the hospital leaving scars all over their bodies. When they left, one of the main dealers said Patrick and Pete would get what they deserved for it (they thought Pete and Patrick called 911). Patrick was taken into Mrs. Love's foster home and hates people because of the drug dealers.
