Silence [Skeppy Fanfic]

Chapter 4

Darryl POV

I woke up and rubbed my eyes. I looked around and saw Zak sitting on his bed. He was sitting there staring off into space. I was about to say something when I noticed that there were tears in his eyes.

I sat up and he flinched at my sudden movement.

"Good morning." He mumbled.

"Good morning." I said, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" He asked.

"No reason." I said.

"What time is it?" I asked.

He went quiet before responding, "Around 10."

"Why didn't you wake me up?" I exclaimed.

"I don't know. You seemed tired and I didn't want to be anno-" He trailed off and I frowned. "Did you eat?" I asked.

He nodded, gesturing to the empty tray next to him, "Yours is right there."

He pointed next to my bed and I grabbed the tray.

Zak POV

"Did you have a dream last night?" Darryl asked.

Yeah.

I shrugged, "Not that I remember."

It was horrible.

I had a panic attack again last night.

Thank god he didn't wake up.

"How about you?" I asked.

"I think I dreamt about muffins or something." He said.

I chuckled, of course he did.

After a few minutes of silence, I decided to start up a conversation, "So why are you here?"

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"Like why did they bring you here?" I asked.

He shrugged, "I don't really know."

"What were you doing before they took you here?" I asked him.

He shrugged again, "Nothing."

That seems a bit suspicious.

"Anyway," He said, "Do you know who runs this place?"

I ignored his question, "How are you so optimistic?"

"I just am." He replied.

"You just got kidnapped and you got ripped away from your life." I exclaimed, "How can you be so happy?"

"I don't know, okay?" He yelled.

I flinched at his tone.

I'm so annoying.

"I'm sorry," He said, "I didn't mean to yell."

"No worries." I said with a small smile.

"So," He said, "Do you know who runs this place?"

I decided to cooperate.

"I've never seen him before, but I heard of him." I said.

"What's his name?" Darryl asked.

"Vincent."
