Aokigahara

"Goodbye mama!" I yelled, as I walked out of the house. I was walking to my friend Rylands house. He said he needed to talk to me."You know he could be telling you he hates you..." I heard a small male voice say. I decided to ignore it and continue walking."I have been with you for god know how many years, you should know you can't ignore me." The voice said again. This time louder. A figure popped up from nowhere and I jumped back in fear, "you gotta stop doing that, one of these days you're gonna give me a heart attack." I said, he just stared at me. I sighed. "Can you leave me alone noah?" I asked, hoping he'd leave. He laughed."Fine but i'll be back." He leaves.I sighed and start walking towards Rylands house.

I finally arrived and knocked on the door. A couple second later the door opened and I was pulled into a tight hug.

"Violet!!" Ryland exclaimed. I giggled and wrapped my arms around him returning the hug.

"I'm so happy!!" he yells. I laugh at his childish ways. I pull away from the hug and walk to the light blue love seat in the corner of the room, sitting on it. "You seen me yesterday." i say chuckling softly. He soon follows me after closing the door. He plops on the couch. "Correction, we seen each at at 1:00 o'clock yesterday, it's now 12:00 o'clock now. That's Twenty-three hours that we have been apart. Thats too much time apart!!" he exclaims. I laughed at him.

"So what did you need to talk about?" I asked him, looking into his icy blue eyes. He sighed. "I was thinking" he pauses, "since we have a break from school maybe we could go on a trip." he said with a smile.

"Okay what place?" I asked.

" Aokigahara." he said and my face immediately fell.

"The suicide forest?" I asked.

"Yup.." he stated.

"Hmm , I've heard of that place, people go to kill themselves there. But the fun part is you see things that aren't there, but you see that all the time. We will have so much fun, love." Noah says as he appears.

"Are you okay?" I hear ryland ask.

"Uh yeah, yeah i'm okay, just thinking." I reply. "Let's do it."

"Really?!" ryland exclaimed. I laughed and nodded. He started to smile like an idiot.

"Sometimes i worry about you." I chuckled at his face.

"I'm not the one who needs to be worried about.." He said in a serious tone, "did you take your pills today?" he asked me. I knew if I told him the truth, he'd make me take them.

"Umm, yeah." I said with a fake smile on my face, hoping he didn't know the difference.

"Wow, lying to your best friend, good job." I heard a female voice say. "You know he's kinda cute."

"Stop it." I whispered.

"What?" ryland asked me.

"Um, nothing. I- can you make me some food? I'm hungry, I want ramen." I asked, he chuckled. "Yeah, no problem." he said, then walked into the kitchen.

"God, when are the lies going to stop." the female voice asked.

"Stop it june." I say in a quiet voice.

"What are you gonna do about it?" june asked

"June, stop." I said in a firm voice.

"Like you can stop me." june said laughing.

"Stop!!!" i yelled loudly, "just stop!! Leave me alone!!" I scream. Ryland ran into the room and jumped onto the couch taking me into his arms. He slowly started to rock me and whispered in my ear things like, 'you're going to be okay.' 'it's not there.' 'it's gone.' but i know they weren't gone. They would never be gone. Ever.
