Until Dawn ~ Another Path {Josh x OC}

Chapter 9

"How does it feel? Do you enjoy being terrorized? Humiliated? I mean, panicked? All those emotions my sisters got to feel once one year ago? Only guess what? They didn't get to laugh it off! No! Nope! No no no! They're gone!"

"Josh..." I couldn't believe the words coming from his mouth.

"I don't know if you noticed this Josh, but none of us are laughing." Mike said seriously.

"Oh come, come come come come. Why the long faces? Come on? It's good to get the heart racing every now and then, right?" He continued, ignoring my plea.

"Josh, don't you think we suffered enough? Don't you think we felt grief too!" I practically yelled, letting my anger get the best of me.

"And race they did, I mean, everyone of you, just pitter-pat pitter-pat! I hope you appreciated my little phantasmagorical spectacle. I mean no detail to small! No opportunity missed!It was such a delight to play the puppet master to all of your Pavlovian panic! And I didn't even need to worry about getting you Bella, you were doing my job for me by letting your mind do the work!"

"I was to busy blaming myself for something that you should've been there for anyways!" I screamed, this time taking a step up to him, yet it seemed like nothing could stop his speech. 

He only took a glance at me for a split second coming back to reality, but soon returned to his own world, "And all that gore! I mean gore, there was gore galore! Fake bodies I mean, God that shit was expensive. And no retakes, no no no nope, only double takes! You should've seen your faces! Hook line and sinker for every little stinker!" He pumped his arms into the air, as excited as ever.

"Josh, why are you doing this?" Sam questioned.

"Don't even ask this squirrelly little runt. He's got no clue. He's out of his fucking tree!" Mike was getting more and more frustrated, and I didn't blame him.

"We'll he's definitely off of his meds." Chris added, which angered me.

"Chris, don't bring that up, you know it's a serious matter." I faced him, turning next to Josh.

It all makes sense now, he's going through the same shit I am, he's just handling it differently.

"Oh come on you guys. Revenge is the best medicine." Josh said with a smile still on his face.

"Listen, I know all of you are mad at him, and so am I, but I understand him. I'm..I'm off of my meds too...and...I don't want to admit it but..they're coming back...it's coming back...the  schizophrenia..the hallucinations.... I'm kinda on my own meds too, he's just handling it differently." I tried to justify his actions.

"At least you didn't put us through fucking torture Bella!" Mike yelled.

"You're done." Mike growled.

"Mike, he's sick." Chris always having to add his two sense.

"What? Come on, you guys are all going to thank me when you guys become internet sensations!"

"Wait, what?" Chris said confused.

"Josh, you can't do that.." I added, I didn't want anyone seeing me freak out and yelling into thin air.

"Josh, you can't put me freaking out online, I don't want any one else to know I'm a schizophrenic. Everyone will make fun of me over it.."

"Oh, you better believe this little puppy is going viral ladies and germs! I mean we got unrequited love, we got insanity, we got..we got blood! I don't think there's enough hard drives in China to count all the views we're gonna get, you guys."

"What are you talking about you asshat! Jessica is fucking dead!" Mike yelled.

Josh's smile finally left his face, "What?" He asked confused.

"Did you hear me? Jessica is fucking dead." Mike said, slowly walking up to me and josh.

This got me thinking, he wouldn't be confused if he killed Jess, "Wait, Mike, we have to at least question him first. We don't know if.." I stepped in front of Josh, trying to reason with him.

But Mike was to quick with his actions, "AND YOU ARE GOING TO FUCKING PAY YOU DICK!" He pulled the bottom of the gun down against my head, making the bump that was already there from early ache even more, bringing me to the floor.

My eyes lids were heavy, my mind in a state between reality and nightmare, it being just a painful haze, yet I could still hear my friends voices around me.

"You fucking hit her Mike!" Chris yelled.

"I'm..I'm sorry..I didn't mean to.." Mike  replied, apologizing.

"Hey! Why'd you have to hit her!" Josh yelled, but I couldn't focus on their voices any longer, I heard more arguing , the two female voices now joining in, yet it was all mumbling after the ringing started to take over my ears. All that was left was a dark slumber.
