Ethan-

I run into my room without caring about the world around me. I am in a hurry and I feel so restless inside and out. I step foot into my bedroom and close the door behind me for privacy. I almost forgot to do that.

I sit down on my bed and dig in my pocket to look for IT. My hands feel IT and I bring IT out into my sight. I can feel my heart drop as I start reading IT.

Then I hear a knock at my door which makes me jump.

"Open up." I hear ron from the other end.

I panic and put IT back in my pocket and open the door for my older brother.

"What?" I ask with a hint of annoyance in my voice.

"Are you okay?" Is the first thing he asks.

"Why?" I ask him a question instead of giving him an answer because his question honestly caught me off guard.

Ron looks away and scratches his neck, "You know-"

He's always been one to struggle with vulnerable matters. I get it now. He's here to check up on me in a way that won't end up with us having an emotional breakdown.

"I'm fine now go downstairs. I have things to do" I slowly close the door.

"Love you." I say as he walks away.

"Love you too." There's a smile as he says that back and I fully close the door. I haven't seen him smile like that in days.

I sit back on my bed and pull IT out of my pocket. I found IT in the forest when the rest of the gang was watching the sunset but I don't think I found IT, IT found me.

I was walking with my head down and my gaze slowly travelled to a tree beside me. I was blissfully unaware and suddenly my eyes met with IT. IT was laying right under the tree me and my brother used to hang out at all the time. Elijah even carved his and his 3rd grade crushes name on the trunk. Before, I could dwell on these memories I held IT in my hands.

IT is the missing page #9 of Elijah's diary.

"Dear Diary, I had the worst nightmare of my life but let's start from the start. I woke up and .....

(Flashback from Elijah's POV)

I stare at my feet as I'm still laying on the bed. y/n isn't crazy! God if anything I'm the crazy one. I am ruining the amazing thing we have going on because of my stupid nightmares. I think my subconcious mind is playing tricks on me, it's so self destructive.

I need to get a grip and realise that dreams are dreams, not reality. 

and with that I get ready for school. Y/n obviously didn't show up at mine today like she used to everyday. I really messed things up didn't i? even my family has that look on their faces which convey that their son made a mistake and is paying the price for it.

Anyway, I don't take the bus today instead I walk and use an alternative path where I buy a rose to give to y/n then head to school. I have my usual classes and it's a regular and uneventful day until lunch.

I walk towards our lunch table and even before I sit down, I am met with a dramatic scene of Denis denying Corl. He wants to sit with us again like yesterday.

"Please dude give me a chance." He pleads.

"Fuck off." replies Denis. Alex isn't acknowledging the situation and Sub is there just observing and dissecting like usual.
