Sal woke up fast with quiet tears falling slowly down his face. He got up and went to the kitchen. It was pitch black outside the windows and it was quiet outside his front door. He went to his medicine cabinet and tried multiple times to pick the lock. He knew how to pick locks but he wasn't as good as Larry. He failed over and over again until he sat on the floor and held his knees to his chest and he cried. Sal got up slowly and walked to his room. He grabbed his walkie talkie.

"L-Larry...are you awake.."

"L-Larry...?"

"L-Larry please wake up..."

"Larry..." he tried multiple times but no answer came. Sal sighed and wiped his tearful eyes. He then grabbed his mask, pulled some clothes over his pjs, and he headed up to floor five. Floor five was a mess, there was old rotting paint on the walls, ripped up carpet, and junk everywhere. This floor was disgusting because the owner of the apartment building didn't have enough to pay for that floor, so they left it like that. Sal didn't mind the mess of this floor and he walked straight into one of the rooms and into its bathroom. Sal sat on the floor and pulled out a golden necklace that had a cross on it, he set it on the floor in front of him.

"Megan..? Megan are you there? I brought you your necklace." Sal said looking forward at nothing.

He waited a few more minutes looking at nothing. He then sighed and tears fell from under his expressionless mask.

"I hate being alone." He said to himself as he cried and pulled on his hair. He sat on the dirty bathroom floor in the dark. The only sound he could hear was himself crying. As he cried he said to himself "why, why me. Why am i so pathetic. Why do have to have depression. Why did i have to loose my mom. Why does my dad always leave. Why do i have to be scarred and ugly. Why do i get bullied the most at school." He cried even more thinking about everything.

Larry woke up to the sound of his alarm clock. He groaned and sat up stretching. He put on his clothes and walked out to the kitchen. He poured himself some cereal and he ate while doing his homework as fast as he could. He then rushed to the bathroom and brushed his teeth while he brushed his long messy brown hair. He then ran out the door with his backpack and stood where he usually met sal to walk to school. He laughed to himself cause usually he was the one that kept sal waiting here. He waited for a long time. He checked his phone just in case sal texted him that he wasn't going. He didn't get any texts and when he saw the time he realized that school was going to start in five minutes. He dropped his backpack and ran up the stairs as fast as he could. He ran to sals apartment and saw that the door was opened. He yelled for sal as he ran inside the empty apartment. He looked around and saw Sally had tried to pick the lock to his depression and pain medication. Larry now had a worried look on his face and ran into the bathroom. He wasn't there. Larry then ran into sals room, he wasnt there either. Larry ran all the way down to his apartment, he ran to his room and out the back door to the treehouse. Sal wasn't there either. Larry then started to run back to the apartment. He ran to the last place he knew sal liked to go, room 504. He ran all the way there and into the disgusting bathroom. There on the floor sal was sleeping. He kneeled on the floor next to his blue haired friend. He heard a faint hello from a child. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Megan, or the ghost of a little girl. Megan was pale, had short pinkish hair, and a grey dress. Larry jumped a little.

"What happened. Why is he sleeping here." Larry asked the small ghost.

Megan replied with, "he said he was alone. And asked himself all kinds of weird questions like, why is he ugly and sad all the time." Larry had a sad look on his face now and he looked down at Sal.

"Well did you talk to him...?"

"I did but i guess he couldn't see or hear me." Megan said in her cute little voice.

"Well thanks for trying Megan.." Larry said with a faint smile. Larry picked up Sal softly and brought him to the half decayed sofa in the next room. Larry didn't trust himself enough to carry Sal down to his room, even though Sally was about half Larry's weight and size. He carefully set sal down. Sal moved a little but not much. Larry looked at his friend and smiled. He then knelt down next to him and carefully lifted sals head up. Larry undid the buckles on sals mask and gently laid his head back down. As Larry slowly pulled off sals mask, he accidentally brushed it against sals bruised neck. Sal yelped in his sleep and moved his hand up to push away nothing. Larry laughed a little and set sals mask down on the floor. Larry sat down next to the couch and looked at his small friend peacefully sleeping. He blushed a little when sal turned in his sleep and was now facing Larry. Larry took his phone out of his pocket and saw that he had a million texts from Ash and Todd. Larry texted them saying that he stayed home with Sal. He put his phone back in his pocket and laid down on the floor falling asleep.
