The Neighbor

Chapter 22: Sane

Ethan's taking a shower, washing all the blood off. He places his head on the wall and let's the water run down his head. He watches the blood go down the drain. He thinks about his daughter then the accident and starts to cry. A couple of minutes later he gets out and looks in the mirror. He grabs a bottle of pills and puts some on his hands. He stares at them

Psychiatrist: How do you feel when you take the pills?

Ethan: Relaxed, calm

Psychiatrist: And how do you feel when you don't take them?

Ethan: I get angry easily and psychically hurt myself

Ethan: I'm sane. I don't need these damn pills

He empties the bottle still thinking about his daughter. He gets angry and punches the mirror, breaking it. His hand starts bleeding. He gets so mad that he starts yelling

Kids Room...

Everyone wakes up

Sarah: What the fuck?

Angel: Still want his baby Ms. Childs?

Ms. Childs: He's just a man in pain that's all

Angel looks at her

Angel: The hell he is!

They hear his door open, his footsteps rush to their door

Sarah *whispering* Oh shit

Angel quickly faces the wall lying down

The door slams open. He starts breathing heavily as he looks at all of them then slams the door shut. They hear him run back into his room and slam the door

Brian *whispering* I'm scared to fall asleep

Sarah *whispering* Me to

Ethan's Room...

He goes to the closet and takes out a box. He sits on the edge of his bed and opens it. It's pictures of him and his daughter. He smiles as tears slide down his face

Ethan: My baby. My little angel... My little angel... MY... little... angel. MY... baby

He starts to laugh as he keeps repeating those words

Everyone hears him laughing
