Jax's POV

    "Jax," I wake up to a voice saying, "I want to tell you a story." I roll over to where the voice is coming from. I nod, but keep my eyes closed. I hear Unknown laugh. "Well, there was this boy who was sad all of the time. He stayed away from everyone he met. He had no friends and was very lonely. One day a girl came up to him and started talking to him. He did his best to avoid her, but she wouldn't leave him alone. Every day the girl and her friends would follow him around and try to become friends with him. One day he started crying in front of them. He told them to go away, but they didn't. They sat down next to him and hugged him. He warmed up to them. After a while he started to feel tiny bits of happiness starting to sprout within him. It made him and his friends happy. Then the thing making him sad was separated from his body. He was happy. He then walked free from everything. That day he parted with his sadness was the last time anyone ever saw him. Some people still search for him to this day." I can feel myself starting to tear up.
    "Why did you tell me that story?" I ask him with sadness in my tone. He chuckles at my question.
    "The monster that follows you is that sadness that he left," he tells me. I open my eyes. Unknown was sitting at the side of my bed. He had pulled the desk chair over to sit next to me.
    "Is that a true story?" I ask him. 
    "Kind of. I can't remember the whole thing, so I had to make some stuff up, but that was basically the story," he answers me. I look up to see a wet streak by his mouth. It looks like he started crying at the story too.
    "How did you know this story?" I question. He turns to me. If his eyes were uncovered then he would be looking me straight in the eyes.
    "I know this story because he told it to me," he tells me quietly. It was hard to hear him, but I was able to make out what he said. 
    "Wait, you met him?" I sit up as I ask. He nods. A slight smile finds its way onto his mouth.
    "Yeah, he saved my life too," he says, "he also lived here before you. That's why the monster is here. If you had chosen to live anywhere else then there would be no monster following you and Jeremy and Toby both would still be alive." I lay back down. I guess it is my fault that they are dead. "Look, I'm sorry for upsetting you. I know that it's hard, but it's not your fault that they are dead. Toby was murdered by Christopher and I killed Jeremy, so there was no way that it was your fault. If I didn't kill Jeremy then both of them would still be alive, but that's not how it is, so we have to go on with life." Him telling me this makes me feel a little better.
    "Can I ask another question about the story?" I ask. He nods. "What was that guy's name?" He turns away from me. "Wait, are you that guy?" He looks at me, again.
    "No, I'm not that guy and I'd rather not give out his name. He told me to not speak of his name unless it is to my one friend, but my one friend never listens to  me about him, so I usually never get to talk about him," he explains. He turns away from me, again. "You should get ready for the day. Hang out with your friends. It's good for you." I laugh at his suggestion. 
    "Alright, dad, I'll see if my friends want to hang out with me," I tease.
    "Don't call me dad," he tells me with an annoyed tone.
    "It was a joke," I say. I roll my eyes at him. He gets up and puts the chair back at my desk. Right after he does that he walks into the wall. I get ready and go downstairs and go into the living room. I set up the gamecube so I can play The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. I haven't finished it yet, so I will take today to try and do so.
    "I thought you were going to hang out with your friends," Unknown pesters from behind me. I roll my eyes at him.
    "My gamecube is my friend," I tell him. He sighs at my statement.
    "Of course it is," he says.

(A/n) Sorry for not updating. I was going to, but I got lazy. I'm also sorry for another boring chapter. I wish it could be more interesting, but it's not, so we have to deal with it until I get something good written. I hope you still enjoyed this chapter. I hope to see you in the next chapter. Peace. ~Tiny
