The Strange Ones Page #3

---

I mean, every teenager

ever says that.

I just didn't want you to

think I came out and told them.

Okay.

- I don't, like, know

what was going on.

I mean, I would never say

anything, no matter what,

even if you weren't joking.

Even.

Stop.

Get off.

It's okay.

Seriously, get off.

I was lying before.

About what people said about us.

Nobody really thought that.

I get it.

It's actually so obvious.

What is?

- That you were

in love with him.

Are.

Whatever.

- They'll come

looking for you eventually.

You're just making them mad.

I don't care.

- If he ever gets

physical with you again,

I want you to stand

up for yourself.

If I was there, and I saw

him doing anything to you,

I'd kill him.

Is this you?

That was my dad's last kill.

I was your age.

Actually, I bet

you'd love it there.

I could teach you

how to hunt and fish.

Nobody would bother us.

Nobody except the

plants and the animals.

I mean.

Wouldn't that be nice?

You wanted to see me?

Come in.

How's the arm?

It's fine.

Good.

I just wanted to

check in with you,

see how you're doing lately.

Fine.

Why?

- I heard that you've been

having nightmares again.

Is that true?

Yes.

Care to tell me about 'em?

Remember what we agreed on.

You're going to have

to be open with me

while you're here, okay?

Okay.

Um.

It's kind of like I'm

always just laying there.

Sam, you awake?

I'm home.

Sorry about earlier.

I'm unlocking your door.

If you wanna talk to

me, come talk to me.

It's okay, Sam.

What happens next?

Sam.

Remember, it's all in your head.

It's not real.

But it feels like it is.

Well, I promise you it's not.

It's only as real as

you want it to be.

How do I get it to stop?

You control your own mind.

If you want it to

stop, make it stop.

What are you doing here?
