[Justin]

I began to slowly open my eyes and my arm felt numb, as my visions started to clear out, I saw the reason why my arm was feeling numb. It was Clay. He was sleeping on my arm.

"Clay? Wake up we gotta go to school" I whispered in a peaceful tone. "Fuck off J-Justin" Clay replied with a raspy morning voice, he fell back asleep really fast almost as if he had stayed up all night long. I got up and went to the bathroom, as I was searching for the toothpaste in the bathroom's cabinet, I found a syringe and I thought to myself that dumbass hid something that could cause a trigger in a place that I would us*.

When Clay finished taking a shower and eating breakfast he finally greeted me. "good morning". When I looked at him I could see that his eyes looked a bit tired and it seemed like he wasnt doing well.

As I was reaching my hand to his forehead to check if he had a fever he said, "what are you doing?". "Just shut up for a second" I said. I procceeded to place my hand on his forehead and told him " you are not going to school you have a fever".

Clay started sweating a lot problably because of the fever and he looked at me and said "look, I have to go ok? I'm okay, it isnt that bad".

I looked at him blantly because I knew he was lying "you look like you're dying, you're breathing like you're dying, you SOUND like you're dying... you're staying home" I said as I placed my hand on his shoulder, he was walking away and when I did that he turned around and slapped my hand off of his shoulder.

Clay turned around once again, facing me with his back, he lowered his head and looked at the ground. "You know, people are still giving you weird looks, and now Bryce and his friends are gonna keep bullying you or do something to you...". "I dont want you to go alone to school". He said.

I knew he was worried, so in a comforting tone of voice, I replied "1 week... 1 week and we're in summer vacation. They are NOT going to kill me, don't worry".

He turned around with an angry look "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! I DON'T WANT YOU TO SUFFER, I DONT WANT MY OWN BROTHER TO KILL HIMSELF LIK--"

I cut him off as soon as I saw him crying, I hugged him and said "It's ok... if you're gonna be that worried about me going to school, I'll skip school today, ok?".

"Ok" he said as he wiped away his tears. "BUT... but, I will only NOT go to school, ONLY if you stay in bed because its seriously making me sick seeing you sick and not in bed" I said. He giggled and replied "Yes Mom, I will go to bed and stay in bed".

I was really worried about Clay because he doesnt get sick often and when he does it's a mild headache most of the time. After Clay got in bed, I went downstairs and as I was scrolling through my instagram feed I got a message from an unknown number. Its problably just a prank or someone who got the number wrong. I opened the message... I started shaking and sweating and as soon as I realized, I was having a panic attack.

The message said : "murderer, you´re next" with a picture of Justin with an X over it.
