I can't sleep. I'm lying on my bed wide awake in the dark. My mind is traveling at 100 miles per hour, processing the past 48 hours:

1.) Woke up

2.) Went to school

3.) Came home

4.) Saw a man yelling at Brendon

5.) Went to Brendon's house

6.) Followed him into the woods

7.) Watched him try to murder the man

8.) Helped him hide the body

9.) Watched him kill the man

10.) Learned Brendon has killed before

11.) Learned Brendon killed Sarah

12.) Had to keep it a secret

13.) Went to school the next day

14.) Hid in the bathroom

15.) Lied by omission to Amber

16.) Walked home

17.) Brendon told me he hacked my Instagram

I rub my face with my hands. This is killing me. It also sends chills down my spine knowing that Ryan's still there, decaying. There's so much I don't know and it's making my head hurt the longer I'm in a state of obliviousness. Do I want to know? A better question is... where would I start? There's no sane way to do this.

"Way," I whisper. "Way..."

I grab my laptop and sit up in my bed. I open my browser.

The Way Family Murders

I click on the first link. It's a video

Uploaded on June 15, 2013

On June 13, a family of three and a close friend was trapped inside their house during a mysterious fire. The only survivor was 24-year-old Gerard Arthur Way, who had recently graduated from college, majoring in art. While there was no evidence pointing to the cause of the blaze, the survivor was adamant about it being in connection with Brendon Urie, a neighbor who had moved in a month prior.

Way said, "It was him! I know it was, he's murdered people."

Urie has had a background check completed, and no such accusations made by Way stand true. However, Way currently resides in Upstate New York's Psychiatric hospital, where he checked himself in quote, "Before he kills me because he didn't think I'd survive."

"Shit." I mumble.

I search something different: Murders without motive

After sifting through many articles, I mentally note keywords:

Increased vigilance

Mental illness

Carefully planned

Abnormal behaviors

Behavior of a Psychopath

Usually begins in younger years

Superficial charm

Manipulative

Shallow and emotional responses

They all pertain to Brendon. Fuck. This one's a bit of a stretch.

IQ of a psychopath:

120

140

185

So, 120 - 185. I'm 130. I'm not a psychopath though. Right? I display none of these traits.

But, I was an accomplice to murder. It's not my fault, he made me. So, I'm not.

Right?
