Chapter Four: Vulnerable

Allen didn’t know what to think anymore. He was so scared, worried, confused and troubled. They were already on their way back to the hospital, using Jason’s car since Chris chose to leave his in the other blonde man’s garage. It was the time that they would find out if Allen’s third eye is indeed open. Of all people, why me? Oh god… What am I gonna do? He thought as he sat in between Chris and Amy, fiddling his fingers nervously. His nervousness didn’t go unnoticed by the two people beside him, as well as Trish and Jason who were in front. This is going to bother me for the rest of my life… Things will never be the same for me.

“Hey… You’ll be fine.” Amy reassured her friend as she took one of his hands in hers and gave it a reassuring squeeze. “You’re a strong guy. You can do this.”

“I won’t be okay.” He shook his head; a frown taking place on his face. “I don’t want to see spirits or whatever every damn second of my life. I’m happy with my normal life. I don’t want to live in fear of what I see.”

Trish sighed and looked back at the three seating in the back seat. “Of course it’s going to be terrifying at first but I know you’ll get used to it. I don’t know if that’s supposed to make you feel better but it’s true.”

“Let’s just hope that your third eye isn’t open… that there’s another reason why all this shit is happening to you.” Chris spoke before the brown haired man could.

Jason nodded as he turned right at the corner. The road they were now on was leading directly to the hospital. “Just prepare yourself. We still don’t know anything for sure.”

Everyone fell silent after that. They’re right. I can do this. I can do this. He silently prepared himself. If this third eyes is open, I have no choice but to live with it. I’ll have it for the rest of my life. I can never run away from it. It really helped that his friends were all there to support him. He didn’t take his hand away from Amy’s and he was secretly happy that she didn’t detach her hand from his… Well, it was either that or she completely forgot that their hands were joined. Chris patted his shoulders once in a while, reminding him that everything will be okay and they were all there for him. It didn’t take long before the hospital was in sight.

Allen took in a deep breath as Jason parked the car in the parking lot. “Is it too late to back out now?”

Chris rolled his eyes. “Well, you can run away now if you want. This isn’t the only chance we can find out if your third eye is open or not.”

One by one, they slowly piled out of the car but Allen stayed inside; his eyes closed. The four outside waited patiently and in silence for him to come out, prepared for what was about to happen. The brown haired man soon exited the car and led the way to the hospital. They were still a bit far from the entrance of the hospital when Allen stopped in his tracks.

He already knew what was happening to him for sure without going in the hospital.

“Is there anything wrong?” Amy asked him.

“It’s open.”

Four pairs of eyes widened. They didn’t know what to say to help Allen feel better about the entire situation. Meanwhile, the brown haired man silently stared at the people only a third eye could see. There were only two spirits wandering outside the hospital. Both were women and they didn’t look scary at all. They actually looked like normal people, except they were just spirits now without their bodies. The two spirits were just walking and walking but suddenly, they stopped and stared blankly at him. A chill ran down his spine as he stared back at them for a moment before he closed his eyes, silently saying a prayer for them.

Jason ran a hand through his blonde hair. “What can you see?”

“I-It’s nothing bad. I-I think they’re harmless.” He replied; his voice cracking a little. He didn’t realize that he was shaking just lightly… probably because he was scared and all that.

Trish rubbed his back gently with her hand, trying to sooth the nerves of the young man. “Is that enough already or do you still want to go on?”

“I already have the answer to my question.” He whispered. The fact that his third eye was really open still hadn’t fully sunk in. “But we have no choice but to go inside. Billy’s waiting for all of us.” Without waiting for any answer, he continued to lead the way again to the hospital. The two female spirits just continued to stare at him as they walked closer to the building. Allen resisted the urge to say anything when he saw that Trish was practically a few centimeters away from one of the spirits, knowing that it would freak the petite blonde out… Not to mention, Jason would probably kick his ass for not keeping his mouth shut.

Inside the hospital was a completely different story. Once Allen was inside, he knew he could never prepare enough for something like this. The main hallway had numerous spirits and they looked so much worse than the ones outside. Allen began to shake harder when he realized that there was another one beside him, who looked like he was massacred brutally. There was also someone beside Chris but he did his best not to voice it out. It was enough that he was the only one terrified. There were some spirits that looked like the ones outside. They just looked so lost and lonely. But the other spirits were the ones that scared him to death. Some looked like they were stabbed or shot repeatedly. Some had burned bodies or faces. There were some who he couldn’t figure what could’ve happened to them. They looked so frightening.

Chris exchanged worried glances with the three others before he put a hand on Allen’s shoulder, realizing that his friend was shaking badly. “Al? Relax for a minute, man.” He frowned when the younger man didn’t say anything. “Allen? Dude, what’s wrong?”

Allen wanted to say something so bad but his fear prevented him from doing so. All the spirits were staring at him now and sluggishly, they began walking towards him. He covered his blue orbs with his hands, trying to block them from his vision. He didn’t want to see him anymore. He wanted to be normal again. But no matter how tightly he closed his eyes, he could still see them walking towards him. The hair on his skin all stood when the spirit beside him moved closer.

“Allen!” Jason gripped his harm and tried to shake him to catch his attention. “Tell us what’s wrong.”

“Get me out of here… G-Get me out of here.” He mumbled over and over again; fear evident in his tone. Surprising his friends the most, he removed his hands from his wide and terrified eyes. “Get me out of here!” He said out loud before he ran out of the hospital. Trish smiled apologetically at the staff and visitors who were watching them.

“Allen!” Chris yelled out but Allen just kept on running and running away.

Amy frowned. “Tell Billy I’ll be by his side as soon as I can.” She ran off after the brown haired man without any other word, running as fast as she could to catch up with her frightened friend.

“Ames! Wait up!” Jason made a move to follow the redhead but the hand that gripped his arm prevented him from doing so. He arched an eyebrow at his girlfriend. “We have to get them back here.”

Trish shook her head. “We should just leave Al alone for now… He needs to clear his mind about this. Having his third eye open… it’s terrible for him.” She said softly, sending a pointed look at Chris when he made a move to leave. “Maybe Ames can help him out. If she can’t, then we think of something else.”

The two blonde men had no choice but to agree with her and stay put in the hospital. They stood there for a moment long before they finally made their way to Billy’s hospital… the trio soon finding themselves explaining the whereabouts of the two missing people to Dawn, Jeff, Matt and Billy.

Stop it. Stop it. Please. Get this damn eye off me. Close it again. Please. Allen muttered under his breath as he continued to run away, nearly bumping into a few people in the process. I don’t want to see them anymore. Please. Stop it. Why was all this happening to him? Trish’s words still echoed at the back of his mind. Maybe she was right. Maybe he could get used to seeing spirits… But how long would it take before that could happen?

Meanwhile, Amy was still running behind him, hoping that she could catch up with him. Will he ever get tired of running and running? She thought. Damn it. She pushed some red locks blocking her face away before she began shouting. “Allen! Allen! Please! Stop running… Allen!” The brown haired man was still so locked up in his thoughts that he failed to hear his friend shouting at him from behind. “Allen! Wait up!” Thankfully, he was beginning to slow down and that made it so much easier for her to catch up.

“Al… Stop… Please.” She begged him once she was able to get hold of him. They were both tired and catching their breath. “Stop running…” They had known each other for a long time and she never saw him that frightened.

“I-I don’t want to s-see t-them anymore.” He said. “I just w-want all of this to s-stop.”

Amy wiped the sweat on her forehead with her hand. “You have to face this, Al. You’re a strong guy. You can do this.” She encouraged him the best she could. “We’re all here for you. You don’t have to deal with this alone.”

They just stood there in silence, looking at each other. His wide eyes looked so lost and full of fear was locked with her hazel ones that were full of reassurance. It was as if her eyes were telling him that everything will be alright for him. “Thank you…” He mumbled.

The redhead smiled as she took his hand and squeezed it gently for the second time that day. “Let’s go back…?”

He took in a deep breath. “Okay.”

Billy, Dawn, Jeff and Matt still couldn’t believe what they heard from the mouths of Trish, Jason and Chris. “What?” Matt asked. “His third eye is really open?”

Trish nodded slowly. “He’s not taking it too well…”

“Who would?” Dawn made a face. “I hope he’s alright.”

“Ames is with him. I’m sure he’s okay.” Billy was confident in his sister’s abilities to make anyone feel better. “And what you said to him is right, Trish. He’d get used to having his third eye around someday. Maybe he could even put it to good use.”

Chris raised his eyebrows. “Like talking to the spirits and whatever?”

The younger Dumas grinned. “Exactly.”

“Well, it all depends on him. He could make that third eye useful or continue life.” Jason flopped himself on the sofa. While the conversation inside the room continued, Amy and Allen were on their way back to the hospital. They were currently standing a few yards away from the said place. A part of him was telling him to just leave but he knew that he should start facing his fears. The two spirits wandering outside the hospital paid no attention to him this time and he was more than thankful for that.

“Are you sure you’re ready to go in there?” Amy asked.

The brown haired man sighed. “I’m ready.”

Slowly but surely, they made their way inside the hospital. The spirits in the hallway were staring at him again, making the hair on his skin stand once more but he did his best to ignore them. He silently thanked his redheaded friend for being there, holding his hand. It would’ve been more difficult if he had to do it on his own. Fortunately for Allen, they reached Billy’s hospital room right away; the people inside were in the midst of a conversation when they made their presence felt.

“Alien… Dude…” Jeff patted his shoulder. “How are you holding up?”

“I don’t think I have any choice but to face this problem.” He replied. “I can’t keep running and be scared forever.”

Billy smiled from the hospital bed. “You don’t have to run, Al. We’re all here to help you.”

Allen looked at each of his friends. He could feel their support for him. At that point, he knew in his heart that everything would be fine.

He can do it.
