You bleed just to know you're alive (sequel to The one he would help), chapter 4
Mike were lying in a dark room. His necked body were shaking, not only because of the cold, but also because of the fear that was inside of him.
He sat up and rested his head against the wall. Arms, legs, feet, head... everything was hurting from the things they had done to him. He had a faint memory of someone taking pictures of him, but it could be days ago, even months. Maybe it was from the last Grammy they had been to. He couldn't remember.
He looked down on his arms. There were three deep cuts on each arm. The blood had nearly dried now. His back were also full of cuts. Every part of him were. He couldn't remember how he had got them.
He guessed that when They had done this to him he had fainted. It was so dark in the room that he couldn't see anything else. He knew that there were more scars somewhere, and he wanted to see the damage They had done to him.
He was hungry. He didn't know when was the last time he had eaten something. But They didn't give him food.
Mike could hear steps outside. Someone opened the door that led into his room. His cell.
The door opened and brought light into the room. Mike covered his special parts. It was more like a reflex. They had seen them before. When They did this to him.
"Here, put on these."
The man that was standing in the door tossed some clothes over to him. Mike grabbed them. The guy turned around and Mike got the pants on.
"I hope your friends will come here soon," the man said again. His voice were so cold.
"Why are you doing this?" Mike said. His voice was just a whisper. The man had been looking out of the door, but now he turned around. Mike stopped with his new t-shirt half on. The man was grinning. He could see his teeth in the light from the door.
"Why we are doing this?"
It was like a cold hand came crawling up Mikes back as the man walked closer to him. Mike had to look up to see the mans face. He couldn't see it properly. All he could see was the white teeth and a light in the mans left eye.
"Pure pleasure."

Tre began on his walk home. Susan was going to spend the night at Jason and his family's house, and Billie and Adrienne needed some time alone.
Tre didn't really want to be alone. When he experienced things that was difficult he used to block people out, but this time it was so much all at once, and he didn't really know how to handle it.
He put his hands in his pockets and breathed in the now much colder air. Some cars rolled slowly past him now and then, and he wondered what time it was. He looked at his watch. 01:37 am. He could feel that his body wanted some sleep.
"I hope Claudia isn't too mad at me for coming home so late," Tre thought. Claudia always wanted him home safely before she went to bed.
Suddenly he saw a movement longer down in the street. It was a girl who was standing there. It was Lina.
Tre didn't think she had noticed him yet, she just stood there, and glanced out into the air. Tre walked closer to her, in silence. Then when he was just five meters from her she noticed him. He stopped. For a time that felt like hours, but just were some seconds they looked at each other. Then Lina ran. Tre ran after her. He chased her through streets and into other people's gardens. Lina turned to left. A dead end. She had nowhere to go, but she kept on running.
"She's going over the wall," Tre thought.
With his last strength he jumped after her and both of them fell down on the ground.
For some seconds Tre actually had to lie on the girl to make her stay there. Then she calmed down.
Then they stared into each others eyes again. Both of them stared into the same blue eyes.
"Get off me," Lina said, and Tre got off her. He helped her up. She got some dirt off her jeans and looked at Tre.
"Where is Mike?" Tre asked.
Lina didn't answer at first, and she looked down.
"WHERE IS HE?!" Tre grabbed her and made her look at him.
"I don't know!"
"YOU KNOW!"
"I DON'T! I can't...I cant tell you." She couldn't talk anymore. Tre could feel that she didn't stand on her feet, and he helped her to sit down.
"Lina..." Tre let his hand run through her hair. " Its important that you tell me what you know. We have to get Mike back. You know what they are doing to him?"
She nodded.
"So why don't u wanna tell me where he is so we can help him?"
Lina suddenly looked up at him with an expression that freaked him out.
"They want all of you."
He sat up and rested his head against the wall. Arms, legs, feet, head... everything was hurting from the things they had done to him. He had a faint memory of someone taking pictures of him, but it could be days ago, even months. Maybe it was from the last Grammy they had been to. He couldn't remember.
