Friends

Hours passed, after ending having breakfast at Mr. Cat side, Yohan only stared at the ceiling while listening to all types of music and ads the channel decided to transmit. It's nice to hear something that weren't the meows of Mr. Cat.

Yohan: "What time is? I think I have to go soon...and the rain got worse once again on the day."

*Bump* *Bump* *Bump*

Yohan: "It's the third time now, why can't you leave me alone and give me some peace? The worst of all of this is that it's not the same shadow with the red eye, now I can only tell there's someone in the window because I can hear him breath. It doesn't matter how loud I turn up the music or my headphones, the breathing is always there. For now, I have to pretend everything is okay, that I can't hear him, and maybe like that he's gonna leave."

???: "This isn't enough for you, uh? People usually gets closer to strange sounds appearing out of nothing. Is this a challenge? Fine, I'll take it."

♪...Let me let you down I can't watch you drown with me Let me let you down...♪

*Crack!*

Yohan: Shit!

The man hitted the window with his normal hand, hurting himself with the numerous pieces of broken glass.

???: "I take challenges really seriously! I know you hear me, I know you see my silhouette, I know you see me devouring you with my eyes!"

Mr. Cat: Meeeoww!!!

Mr. Cat runned to the face of Yohan, scratching his lips.

Yohan: Ngh! Mr. Cat, control yourself!

Yohan grabbed Mr. Cat and putted him back to the couch.

Yohan: "Fuck, I don't wanna get close the window, I can't see him but I know he's there. But I need to fix this window, the rain is covering the wood, I have to do this fast otherwise the wood will rot."

The rain started to wet the bed.

♪...I know it's over, please be over 'Cause I'll just let you down...♪

Yohan runned to the kitchen, searching for a pack of tools.

*Knock* Knock* *Knock*

??? 2: Yohan! What's happening there! I heard a glass break! Are you okay? Yohan!

*Knock* Knock* *Knock*

Yohan: Going! "Fuck, I have to cover this no-"

??? 2: Yohan?!

Yohan: AHHHHH!!! AHHH!!! "I saw him, I saw him! I saw him!"

Yohan dropped the hammer and nylon he grabbed from the kitchen, he covered his "eyes" with his both hands and putted in fecal position, and he started to count: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7...

??? 2: Yohan!!

The young man outside the door started to ram his body against the door multiple times to the point of throwing the the screws flying. When the young man entered the room, he found Yohan with his hands on his paper covering his frontal zone, covering the paper that privates people from seeing his eyes.

He wondered: Did the sounds disturbed him that much?

??? 2: Yohan, calm down, It's only me, Nol.

Nol walked to Yohan and hugged him, he gived himself a second to stare at the broken window, but he couldn't see nothing.

Mr. Cat: *Growls*

Nol: It's fine Mr. Cat, you know I'll never do something to Yohan. "Should I take Mr. Cat with me too? The rain is pretty bad, but there's almost no wind. Someone had to have thrown a rock or something. But I can't find nothing out of the usual...Whatever, I better get out of here, this place...it's giving me a bad feeling."

Nol turned off the T.V. before carry Yohan and give Mr. Cat his shoulder.

Mr. Cat: Meow.

Nol: "I better come and fix this later. Oh! Shit, I destroyed his door, I hope Ms. Yong is asleep, I think the channel 13 is already passing her favourite novel, maybe she's asleep. Let's hope for that."

Yohan kept counting while grabbing the paper with more force that it seemed he was about to cut it in half.

Nol is a human, just like Yohan he is a grey, but instead of a paper with the signs "?" he only has two little circles pretending to be his eyes. Unlike Yohan, Nol has a body in good state, but he wish his economic state is as good as his body. Nol feels a stack on his heart every time he has to pay the rent (150$ dollars). Due to the stress of working day and night he gets pretty angry for all sort of things, an example of his anger it's when Yohan didn't opened the door at the moment, making him feel concern and anger at Yohan. But even with all those problems Yohan gives him enough support to make him keep going.
Nol wishes to someday give Yohan the same support and love he gives to him.

???: "What a pain in the ass. Why is he marked with those signs, when he has a lot of people to count with?!"

The man screamed to his insides, seated on a bus stop. He began to grind his teeth with each other, thus making veins of his neck and one in the upper part of the forehead be shown.

???: "Yes, I do wanted him to notice me, but not from that way. How I'm supposed to harm him more, when he'll avoid me every time he sees me? Change my facial features will take away way too much energy. Ugh...Fuck! The rain is stressing me out! If it were for the fucking rain I could change all my body for a day! But the rain! The rain is spitting me more fatige!"

The man putted his hands on the back of his neck and started to scratch himself. Letting leave the blood.

Policeman: It's raining pretty hard today, sir. Please take this umbrella. The buses are taking a day off today, we've gotten a lot of reports of streets flooded.

The policeman extended the umbrella to the man, who was staring at his gun with fear.

???: I-I'm fine, it's just rain, I can take it. Plus, my clothes are already wet. Please, you use that umbrella. And about the...b-bus, I'm actually waiting for someone.

He said, trying to hide his fear. A single shot from that gun and everything is over.

Policeman: ...

The policeman drawed his gun and pointed it to his head, his heart was about to explode.

???: W-What is the meaning of this?!

Policeman: What happened to your eye?

???: I got an infection, m-my friend, the one about to come will take me to the h-hospital. "Fuck, I don't have enough time to change anything! Merck, you better appear now!"

The policeman removed the secure after doing a fast inspection over the clothes and body of the man. The policeman noticed the blood falling from his neck.

Policeman: What happened there?

???: I-I-I did that by myself.

Policeman: Well, let me see your hands.

???: M-My hands?

Policeman: Yes your hands, let me see them. Why are you so scared?

???: W-Well, I'm not used to have someone pointing at me with a gun.

He said while showing his hands to the policeman.

Policeman: That is not your blood. Right?

???: What? "Fu-Fuck! I didn't noticed my nails!"

He gets to his feet but the policeman shoots him in the ear, causing his flesh to writhe from the poison.

Policeman: Now, little mu-ARGH!

A skeleton with his hands on the pockets leaved a tentacle penetrate the stomach of the policeman.

Policeman: Y-You mon-*Cough* monsters!

He tried to shot to the man in front of him, but another tentacle grabbed his hand, it broke the bones of his right hand, force him to change the direction of the gun to his head. He started to get in panic, while feeling his organs being sucked off.

*Bang!*

The tentacles dropped the body of the old man with a speed as if they were burning inside of all that flesh.

???: L-Lord...You have to take those things more seriously...What if he shoted before you grabbed his hand? Uff, uff...What about his companion?

Merck: I killed him. Why are you worrying so much?

Merck walked in direction of the man, who had his left hand on his heart.

Merck: *Sigh* You're not the one being followed by half of the city...

He letted his body rest in the cold and wet bench.

???: Jeez, you're right.

Merck: I can't even see my mother...Why you wanted to see me anyway?

???: Before killing that garbage, I saw your brother talking to someone, he seemed very comfortable talking to him, so, by any case you also know him. Mind giving me some info about him?

Merck: ...I can't.

???: What?

Merck looked to the grey sky, leaving the raindrops enter through his basins.

Merck: You know how things are, it's difficult to get the pills now, their price has really increased since a months now. The guy you want to eat...is the only thing that keeps Mark mental state in its place.

The man looked away.

???: Who says I'm gonna eat him? I'm a monster, but monster also wants to feel emotions.

Merck: You're lying, but I can't expect you to stop asking around about that person. Just make me a favor: Don't involucre Mark on all of this. You have to know where he lives by now, right?

???: Yes.

Merck: His name his Yohan, he lives alone and has a limit mount of friends. He works in the store "Mat" all the days of the week, he takes the night shift. His parents barely talk to him, his brother also ignores him and practically never talks to him. From what I know, he suffered from harassment and multiple abuses from part of people in his school and home. Now that you have something to use on your favor, you better leave now, I can...hear the sirens getting closer.

???: Thank you.

The man walked away, leaving the skeleton wait on his own the bus of death.
