Chapter Five: The Painful Truth
"Sid wake up yourself up!" Gregory's voice echoed all around her. Ignoring the pain shooting through her back she mustered up the strength she had left and kicked Freddy away from her and concentrated on waking herself up. She took in a deep breath as she opened her eyes to find herself still sitting up in her chair unnoticed by everyone else at the table.
"Gregory?" She said with alarm afraid to move from the position she was sitting in knowing it would only make the pain shooting through her back worse.
"I'm fine." He said standing next to her. "He trapped me somewhere and I couldn't get out. He's too strong. I tried to teleport to you but he blocked me somehow. Are you ok?" He asked looking her over.
"My back…" She said her voice tinged with pain.
"What happened?" Nikki said rushing to her.
"I fell asleep for just a few seconds… he slammed me on the ground." She explained still refusing to move from the position she was sitting in.
"Can you move?" Darrien asked suddenly appearing at her side.
"Yes but it hurts." She whined and before she knew it Darrien was picking her up in his arms as she cried out in pain. He ignored her cries and carried her down the hall.
"Brent open the door." He instructed and Brent ran ahead of them and held the door open for them. Everyone followed and Darrien set Sidney down on what looked like a patient bed.
"Sid they have syringes filled with who knows what." Gregory said with alarm.
"What are you giving me? I don't want any fucking Hypnocil!"Sidney screamed.
"Sid its fine it's just muscle relaxers so we can fix your back. Nikki, Beth can you go and find Debois for me." Darrien asked and the two girls ran off as he injected the drugs into Sidney's arm. In just a few seconds she could feel all her muscles beginning to relax as the pain lessened.
"Doesn't hurt as bad now." She thanked him and Gregory let out a sigh of relief.
"And this..." Darrien said prepping another syringe with a clear liquid. "…will be our little secret." He smiled and Brent nodded.
"What is it?" She asked as she began to feel really tired.
"Just a light dose of adrenaline to help you stay awake until we can get you all fixed up." He explained.
"Nikki told us... well Darrien, that you were looking into possibly fighting back in your dreams. And just so you know we totally support you on that. I know Nikki hates to even think about someone not taking their Hypnocil, but if we could we'd start up their dream training again." Brent explained.
"Yeah too bad no one knows how to pull others into their dreams though. We could start our own little secret group. We could even patch ourselves up in here so no one would even know." Darrien added.
"Darrien has this insane theory that you might be able to pull us into your dreams with you but I tried to explain why your ghost friend is in your dreams but he just won't listen to me." Brent said giving Darrien a glare as he injected Sidney with the Adrenaline. It took affect instantly making her heart race. She wanted to get up and move around with the sudden energy burst, but was afraid to move too much and hurt her back even more.
"I don't like the idea of them being in our dreams with us…" Gregory frowned and Sidney gave him a look to let him know that she agreed.
"It's not like I want to fight back. It's more of I want to learn to avoid Freddy so I can enjoy my own dreams again." Sidney pointed out.
"Are you serious?" Darrien asked. "You are in a unique position where you could fight back having your ghost friend to protect you. I'd kill to have that chance. Anyone here would. And you just want to avoid him so you can spend intimate time with your ghost lover?"
Gregory became angry with him and shoved him away from Sidney making him fall to the floor. He caught himself on his hands and glared up at Sidney.
"Leave her alone!" Gregory yelled.
"Darrien, I told you she doesn't fully understand our situation." Brent said helping him to his feet.
"You're both insane." Sidney said from where she was laying wishing they'd just leave her alone. "And by the way he can't always protect me you idiot! How do you think I got hurt just now? He blocked him from getting to me. I'm not helping you get yourselves killed! Why are you so insistent on killing him? It's obvious that it's impossible!" Sidney spat back at him.
"I lost my little brother and sister to him!" Darrien cried.
"Yeah well because of him I lost my only chance at freedom! My own parents committed me seven years ago because I was trying to bring my brother back. Now I'm stuck here because of him and Gregory is the only person I have!" She screamed at him.
"Come on lets go Darrien, Debois will be here soon." Brent said dragging him out of the room behind him. Sidney huffed in anger and Gregory sat beside her.
"Are you ok?" He asked tucking her hair behind her ear.
"Yeah, they just piss me off. They just don't know when to give up do they?" She asked.
"Can't really blame them. What would you do if you were in their position?" Gregory asked and Sidney just looked at him with a smile.
"I know… I wish we knew more about Freddy. I feel like we know nothing about him except for what happened to him before he died, it's a bit frustrating. I don't know we could try to help them if you want to." She said.
"Possibly. Would be kind of neat to be able to pull others in though. I'm sure it'd confuse the hell out of him." He suggested as Debois came in with Nikki and Beth.
"They say you hurt your back?" Debois asked.
"Yes something feels out of place." Sidney explained.
"Alright let's fix you up then. I am not just a nurse and a therapist I'm also I licensed massage therapist and chiropractor." She said all matter of factly making Gregory roll his eyes.
After being twisted and cracked every which way her back felt better but was warned she'd still be sore for a couple of days. Nikki and Beth helped Sidney back to her room.
"You should really just take your Hypnocil and get some sleep. You're lucky he hasn't killed you yet." Nikki said disapprovingly as she left the room. Beth sat on the bed next to her.
"Don't mind her. She's just mad because she knows that you and Brent both haven't been taking your Hypnocil and plus I told her how he got to me last time. Her and Darrien are the only two that have never purposely skipped theirs. But we just can't help ourselves. I don't blame you for not wanting to take it. It took me a year to get used to it." She sighed.
"I don't plan on taking it again anytime soon unless it's absolutely necessary." Sidney explained.
"Well I'm going to go to bed then. Hope your back feels better. Good luck staying awake." She said closing the door behind her.
"What should we do? I can't fall asleep again… and I'm starting to feel sleepy." Sidney said with worry.
"Coffee and video games?" Gregory suggested and they headed to the kitchen. They spent the whole night playing different games and went through two pots of coffee. It wasn't until Brent came and joined them that they realized that it was morning.
"Still awake?" He asked with a worried look.
"Yes, I'm not taking that dream poison again." Sidney said not taking her eyes off of the screen.
"Well here these are my last two I figured you'd need them more than me." Brent said holding two small little bottles out to her and she torn herself away from the screen pausing the game.
"What are they?" She asked looking at them hesitantly.
"They're five hour energy. It's a little energy drink. Since you've obviously never had them before they'll probably work really good for you." He explained and Gregory glared at him.
"Why is he being all nice all of a sudden?" Gregory asked with suspicion.
"I don't know, but I need to stay awake. Give me those." She said snatching them from his hand and quickly opened one and drank it down. "Gross they don't taste very good." She sputtered washing it down with her cold coffee.
"Come on Beth and Nikki are making bacon, eggs, and pancakes for breakfast!" Brent said with a smile and offered her his hand to help her to her feet out of the bean bag chair. She stared at it and ignored it getting to her feet on her own.
"Imbecile, trying to flirt with you when he knows I'm right here." Gregory grumbled making Sidney smile as she pocketed the other drink and followed Brent down the hall. Gregory rushed ahead of them and stood in Brent's way making Brent smack right into him in the kitchen doorway and he stumbled back a bit.
"What the hell?" Brent said as Gregory let him pass through him the second time as Sidney laughed behind him. "It's not funny. Why doesn't he like me?"
"Because you're a guy who pays too much attention to me." She replied making Brent's face turn red as Beth and Nikki watched for his reaction.
"You're lucky he doesn't do more to you. I would if I were him." Nikki said with a glare holding a spatula in her hand.
"Do you two always have to be so hostile to each other?" Beth asked with a frown.
"Yes we do." Nikki said watching Sidney as she sat down. "Sid you still aren't getting any sleep?"
"I'm fine. Brent gave me some energy drinks." She said rubbing her eyes.
"Brent you idiot she's never had any before. She's going to be so jittery." Nikki said annoyed.
"Isn't that the point?" Sidney asked.
"Oh she'll be fine. We can take her out the court yard! I'm allowed to go outside again now that my face is more healed up." Beth said happily.
"You're allowed to go outside?" Sidney asked with surprise.
"Yeah we have a swing set and a big jungle gym and a basketball court and a volleyball net. It's awesome!" Beth said jumping up and down almost dropping the plate of bacon she was carrying to the table.
"Ooh let's stay out there all day!" Gregory said excitedly. Darrien entered the kitchen and sat next to Sidney at the table.
"Morning." He smiled with a wave of his hand. "Sorry about last night." He apologized.
"It's ok. I can't really blame you." She replied. They all sat together like a little family and ate breakfast together making small talk as if everything was just fine.
Once breakfast was cleaned up and everyone was dressed for the day they all went outside together with Delvin and Debois. The doctors sat on a bench and watched them all enjoying the sun. To Sidney the sun was so bright and warm. It had been so long since she was outside and had the freedom to enjoy it.
Sidney attempted to play basketball and soon gave up along with trying to play volleyball. She ended up sitting on the swings and watched Brent and Darrien play basketball as Nikki and Beth went across the monkey bars and through the whole jungle gym over and over again. Gregory sat in the swing next to her and Debois and Delvin smiled when they saw the swing begin to sway on its own.
"You know ignoring the fact that there is a dream demon after all of us I really kind of like this place." Sidney admitted as she began to swing higher.
"Me too, I just wish that we could dream together without having to worry about Freddy. I kind of don't like Brent but at least he's somewhat helpful." Gregory said glaring in Brent's direction and he fell through the swing making Sidney laugh.
Sidney was starting to feel the effects of the energy drink and she joined Beth and Nikki on the jungle gym. Beth had talked the two girls into playing lava with her. The only rules of the game were you couldn't touch the ground or you were out. Nikki kept sliding down the tube slide and would catch herself at the bottom and climb back up. After about thirty minutes of that the game got kind of boring until Brent and Darrien decided to come and join.
It was obvious that they all did it for Beth's sake since she had been there the longest yet she was still the youngest. Of course once the boys joined in Nikki almost willingly let herself fall prey to Darrien who was supposed to be a lava monster. Eventually they all began to tire out and Beth and Sidney were on the swings as Nikki and Darrien played volley ball against Brent and Delvin. Debois brought them all some water bottles and Sidney barely swung in her swing as sleepiness began overcome her. Gregory noticed and shook her awake.
"I'm fine." She lied. "I'll take the other energy drink later."
"I won't let you forget." He promised and began pushing her on the swing. She closed her eyes enjoying the feel of the sun on her face. Suddenly the swing jerked to a stop and her eyes set on the bladed glove wrapped around the chain of the swing on her left and she quickly jumped off the swing and began to run. She was too afraid to look back when she heard Gregory calling her name.
As she ran the scenery shifted around her and she smacked right into the front door of Freddy's house and let out a cry as she kicked the door in frustration. She was about to turn around when a pair of hands grabbed her by the shoulders.
"Why don't you want to play with me?" Freddy rasped in her ear making her cringe. "I've been waiting so patiently."
"Gregory!" Sidney screamed making Freddy's grip tighten on her.
"He's a little busy with the girls right now." He chuckled in her ear and quickly turned her around to see three little girls in their white Sunday dresses with decaying faces as they held Gregory down by the handles of their red jump ropes that he was tied up in from his mouth down to his knees. They stood around him chanting a creepy jump rope song.
"Seven, eight better stay up late. Nine, ten never sleep again… One, two Freddy's coming for you!" They screamed the last word and all stared at Sidney. Suddenly Gregory vanished leaving a pile of jump ropes behind and there was an angry groan from Freddy who pulled Sidney up against his chest and put his lips right at her ear.
Before he had a chance to say anything Sidney elbowed him hard in the chest making him release her and she turned around and kicked him as hard as she possibly could in his groin. He hunched over and out of nowhere Gregory ran at him with an axe at full speed. Sidney tried to wake herself up but it wasn't working. She continued to try as Freddy quickly recovered laughing as if it didn't even phase him. But Gregory still didn't stop and swung the axe planting it right in Freddy's back making him laugh demonically.
"You really think you can hurt me?" He asked readying his blades making Gregory's eyes go wide.
"Sidney get out of here!" Gregory yelled and she looked away as she heard metal slice through flesh and concentrated hard finally waking up to find herself still sitting in the swing as it slowly swayed back and forth unnoticed by everyone else. She was hit with a splitting headache and before she could look around Gregory practically knocked her out of her swing trying to hug her. "Thank heavens you're ok Sid. I couldn't stand to see him be close to you like that."
"He's such a fucking creep ass!" Sidney said shuttering as she shook herself holding her head at the pain from her quick headache subsided.
"Who did what?" Nikki asked eyeing her oddly.
"I don't think we should tell them it happened again. They might drug you or something. Or worse take you to the other wing of the hospital." Gregory warned and she nodded.
"Oh nothing Gregory just got a little over zealous with pushing me on the swing and I got scared." Sidney smiled and got to her feet.
"Oh, well Debois offered to bring us some food back for lunch. We all decided on Chipotle. Decide what you want so Delvin and tell her what to get." She explained.
"What's a Chipotle?" Sidney asked confused.
"Oh dear lord you poor sheltered girl. Come on there's a menu in the kitchen you can look at." Nikki said with a laugh.
They all ate lunch together and eventually they all ended up in the gaming room. Sidney spent the rest of the day playing video games and watching movies with everyone and drank the last energy drink just before dinner. Gregory had to nudge her awake a few times but luckily either no one noticed or wanted to say anything about her lack of sleep. Beth had gone to bed early and it was almost eleven o'clock as they all sat there throwing popcorn into each other's mouths. Brent finally gave up after Gregory kept taking his and throwing it to Sidney.
"I think I'm going to get some sleep. It's kind of late for me." Nikki said getting to her feet. "You should get some sleep Sidney. Don't think I haven't noticed."
"Oh leave her alone Nikki it's her choice." Brent replied in annoyance.
"And you're helping her stay awake with your damn energy drinks! If something happens to her it'll be your fault!" She yelled storming off.
"Don't get mad at him it's my choice!" Sidney yelled after her. Gregory let out a sigh.
"I wish she wasn't so paranoid. I mean I know what kind of danger we're in, but it's our choice." Gregory said staring after her.
"She's so paranoid. I wish that just once she'd take a risk instead of hiding in her little protective bubble all the time." Darrien said with disappointment.
"You like her don't you?" Sidney asked and he stared back at her blankly.
"He does. He just doesn't like that she's so unwilling to take a risk for the sake of living." Brent said with a smirk.
"I knew I never should have added you on Facebook." Darrien said shaking his head.
"What?" Sidney asked in confusion.
"He's just quoting a status update from a few days ago that I posted." Darrien said giving Brent a glare.
"What the hell are they talking about?" Gregory asked as he made a question mark on the table out of popcorn.
"What's a Facebook?" Sidney asked staring the two boys down.
"I keep forgetting that you've been committed the past seven years." Brent apologized.
"It's a social networking site." Darrien replied and she continued to stare at the two boys dumbfounded.
"Did you ever use MySpace?" Brent asked.
"Yeah I had one. Why?" She asked.
"It's like MySpace only a lot bigger and better and everyone including my grandma uses it to keep in touch with people." Darrien explained.
"You can update your status or play games with your friends online, upload pictures and so on. Want us to show you?" Brent said his eyes lighting up.
"Ok." She replied kind of curious about it.
"I'm really confused." Gregory admitted as they all made their way to her room.
"You'll see. And so will I." She said. Setting her laptop Nikki had given her on her desk the two boys stood on either side of her making Gregory uncomfortable. Darrien reached over Sidney to control the computer making her rather uncomfortable until she scooted it to the edge of the desk he was standing by. He quickly opened the web browser and typed rather fast navigating through the page.
"Ok I signed in on my profile. See these are all my friends status updates right here. And…" He went on and Brent explained along as well all about the site and how to use it and what you can do on it.
"There's two boys in your room and I can't do anything about it because I'm just a curious about this thing as you are." Gregory complained and Sidney had to stifle a laugh.
Finally they finished explaining things and Brent took the computer to his side of the desk.
"And the best feature which I'm sure you'll want to use is the search feature. I'm sure you could find your old friends and family. I'm sure your parent's might even use it." Brent explained with a smile.
"My parents…" Sidney said and pulled the laptop in front of her and she hesitantly began to type her mother's name and just stared at the screen then between the two boys.
"What's wrong?" Darrien asked.
"Do you think if they're on there that they'll talk to you?" Gregory asked with hope.
"I don't know… I haven't talked to my parents in five years when they told me goodbye after I refused treatment for the second year. I don't even know if they'll care enough to remember me now that it's been so long..." She said realizing that if she could get a hold of them that she could possibly go home.
Brent reached over her and hit enter and only two matches popped up, her father and her mother. She slowly moved the cursor across the screen and clicked on her mother. Her profile popped up showing a nice family picture of her and Sidney's father with a baby girl she didn't recognize. She quickly clicked on the picture and it brought up the picture. It was captioned 'Me, my love, and our precious little Chloe'.
"I have a sister…" Sidney said in shock and began to go through more of the pictures her mother had. Gregory was standing right through her anxious to see. The three of them looked so happy. Then she found an album labeled 'Whom We Will Always Cherish'. In it were pictures of her and her brother together and some of her Grammy. Then she clicked on a picture that she noticed had several comments on it.
I was a picture of her and her brother. There were all kinds of things people said. How they felt so sorry that they had to lose them both at such young ages. She couldn't believe what she was seeing and began to go through the photos and reading the comments that her parents had said back to people. One stuck out the most.
'I wish we could have done more to help her but she just didn't seem to want to get better and unfortunately ended up taking her own life.'
"I what? They said I what?" Sidney screamed and stood from her chair letting it topple back onto the floor. The two boys weren't sure what to do and just stood there staring back at her. "Tell me I am seeing things! Tell me this isn't real!" Sidney demanded and Gregory was even in shock standing there staring at her as tears streamed down her face. She looked between their faces and just collapsed onto the floor in a crying heap.
Gregory felt so horrible that her own parents could do something so despicable to such an amazing person. In all the years he's been with her he'd never seen her break down like this. She was always so strong and held herself together so well. He just wanted to be with her and hold her in the dream world but he knew he couldn't. Instead he shoved to two boys closer to her in an attempt to get them to comfort her and Brent quickly sat down next to her.
Sidney felt so betrayed. Her parents decided it was easier to tell people that she committed suicide than to admit that she was still in a mental institute talking to a ghost. She felt someone beside her and didn't care who it was and fell into Brent's arms crying and sputtering uncontrollably. She didn't even notice that Darrien had left the room and returned with a syringe in hand.
Gregory was worried that she was going to cry herself to sleep and used the computer to tell Darrien to give her something to help her stay awake until she calmed down. He lightly tapped her on the shoulder and she turned to him with red swollen eyes.
"This is the last of my adrenaline supply. But you need it a lot more than I do." He explained and she willingly gave him her arm. She felt it in a few seconds and dragged herself onto her bed and sat up against the headboard taking deep breaths to calm herself.
"Are you going to be ok?" Brent asked.
"I'll live." She sniffed.
"Come on let's give her some space." Darrien suggested and Brent slowly dragged himself out of her room behind him. Gregory slammed the door and locked it behind them.
"Dammit I'm so tired and now I won't be able to sleep for another hour or so." Sidney whined making her voice crack.
"Sid but what about Freddy? I want to be with you too, but it's too risky." Gregory explained becoming a bit worried.
"Then let him come after us. If I can't be alone with you because of him then we're going to kill him ourselves." She threatened staring straight ahead with determination in her eyes.
