When Dylan was growing up, he’d had a game that he played with himself. He would often pretend that if it was perfectly dark; if he could see nothing at all, no one would be able to see him. He would turn off all the lights, cover the windows with this blankets and tape, and stare at his hands. Or better yet, stare at the blackness where his hands should have been. A few months after he’d started this, he began doing the same thing, only with sound. He would wait until his mom had passed out drunk, his stepdad had gone to bed, and the neighbors had stopped making noise. Then he’d tried to make no noise at all. He swore he didn’t even have to breathe sometimes. If he couldn’t see or hear, he wasn’t really there, right? He did this up until his freshman year of high school; almost every night. He then grew up and started playing other games… only they weren’t with him. They were with other, unsuspecting teenagers who happened to get in his way. After all, who in the world wanted to punish themselves once they realized that there were tons of other people to take out their problems on?
That’s exactly what he was doing right now. He took one look at the water and closed his eyes tightly. “Did you?” He asked. “Or did you forget everything about me? I said get me a drink. I don’t even like water.” He didn’t sound angry, just annoyed, but that was enough to make him mean. He didn’t even think that before the split, he’d been fine with water. He handed back the glass and tried to get up, a gesture the nearly made him sick. The only drink he had other then water was beer, and he could really use that right now. “Get yourself something too.”
