Do You Hear The Static?

Delirious' POV

I leaned my head against the window and watched as cars and scenery flew by. A yawn escaped my mouth and my eyes slowly began to shut. With a jolt, I snapped my eyes back open and glanced over to Luke to see if he had noticed. "It's okay if you want to sleep," he chuckled and spared me a glance.

"It's fucking two PM," I muttered and huddled closer to the car door. "I'm not going to fucking go to sleep now."

Luke only shrugged and changed the radio. Despite my words, I could feel myself begin to drift off to sleep. I was struggling to keep my eyes from shutting but quickly lost, darkness enveloping me. "I'm here. What do you two want now?" I glared into the darkness, searching for my tormenters and trying to appear tough.

"Why have you been hiding us?" a deep voice growled, anger clearly evident within the voice.

"Yeah Jonathan," a static-like voice cackled, the sound echoing as if its owner were in a cave. "Don't you miss us?"

"Why..." I tried to say and turned in a circle, my eyes wide with fear. "Why won't you guys leave me alone? I... I don't... I'm not crazy anymore!"

"But Jonathan, you've always been crazy," a dark figure with a Jason mask covering their face suddenly appeared in front of me. "Why else would we be here?"

"Please... Delirious... Just go away," I took a step back, my hands raised to help defend myself. "I don't want you anymore."

"You may not want us," the static voice spoke up as I backed into something solid. "But you'll always need us."

I whipped around to face a person that seemed to be made of ever-moving black and white particles. "Casper," I muttered to acknowledge their presence and looked down.

"That's right~" the static figure grinned, their mouth nothing but a jagged black line.

"Casper, shut up," Delirious ordered causing Casper to back up a few steps.

"Jonathan, you silly little thing... Tell me... Why haven't you let us out?"

"I've been busy," I sat down on the ground and twiddled my thumbs. "I can't expose you."

"Fair point," Delirious raised it's fingers to rub thoughtfully at their chin. "Luke doesn't like us taking over and if we do when he's around, there's a chance you'll be shipped off to a mental hospital or something."

"The guys will be around," I added in, hoping that it would keep them from taking over anytime soon. "They'll probably try to help me too."

"I know what you're trying to do Jonathan," Delirious glared at me, causing me to shiver as his ocean blue eyes sized me up. "However, it's a fair point. Although as far as I know, you're in a hotel room by yourself... right?"

"Unless there are complications with someone's room, yeah," I nodded even though Delirious would already know if I was sharing a room with anyone. "I guess you guys can do what you want then... But you'll have to be quiet or you could attract unwanted attention."

"Delirious, they are nearing the destination," Casper spoke up and crouched down in front of me. "Be a good little Jonny-boy and you'll wake up on the roof instead of on the ground."

"Casper...!" Delirious warned, not at all happy about Casper's threat of making it seem like I had committed suicide.

"Calm your tits Delirious," Casper brushed him off before leaning in close to me. "He has no control over me... Remember, he's the murderer, I'm the psychopath. I'm that little voice that urges you to just... let go. Tell me Jonathan, do you hear the static?"

Out of nowhere he pulled a pistol out and pointed it at me as he stood up. "Night-night Jonathan~"

He pulled the trigger and with a loud yelp and a lurch forward, I woke up. "Jon? You alright man?" Luke rubbed my arm as I rested my head against the car's dashboard. "If we hadn't been parked, I'd have probably gotten in a crash with how fucking sudden that was."

"I'm fine, just a nightmare," I stared at my feet as Casper and Delirious began to chat in my mind.

Or should it be day-day?

That sounds fucking stupid Casper.

Your point? It is daytime after all.

Yeah but still... Day-day makes you appear unprofessional.

Since when were we professional?

"Jonathan, are you okay?" Luke tapped my shoulder, catching my attention.

"It's just the nightmare," I shook my head and ignored the voices.

"Want to say what it was about? It must be pretty bad if you're acting like this," Luke said and stared at me expectantly.

"Well..." I looked off to the side, searching for a response.

You better not fucking mention us.

'Don't worry, I won't.'

"I had a dream that... you died..." I lied and felt him wrap his arms around me.

"Don't worry, I'll never leave you," he promised and pulled back. "Now get out of the fucking car so we can talk to our friends and you can forget about that fucking dream."

I chuckled and unbuckled my seat belt before teasing him, "I half expected you to kiss me."

"I still can," Luke grinned as he stepped out of the car. "Come on, let's get signed in so we can put our shit in our rooms."

I stepped out of the car and stayed back as he locked it to make sure it locked correctly. While I was distracted by the car, I missed him whispering to himself as he shoved the keys in his pocket. "I can tell when you're lying to me Jonathan," he stared at me for a moment and shook his head. "He's not like that anymore... Right?"

Bold-Delirious

Italics-Casper

'These things'-Jonathan

To start off, I can explain. You are all probably wondering 'Why Casper?' Simple. I have no fucking idea. I got bored, the name popped into my mind, and the name stuck. So yeah. Casper isn't a friendly little ghost in this story. He's a psychotic piece of shit and is worse than even Jonathan's inner Delirious.

Jonathan's inner Delirious is well... It's there to push him to do bad stuff. Casper is there to push him over the line between sanity and insanity. Delirious basically looks like he's made of shadows with the Jason mask and ocean blue eyes. Casper looks like the static you'd find on a TV screen with a jagged black mouth and electric blue eyes. I wanted to post complete descriptions of them down here in case anyone got confused.

Also, Jonathan is not dating Luke or Cartoonz or whatever you want to call him. They're just best friends. Well... Cartoonz likes Jonathan. *shrugs* I don't think that's a spoiler. I don't know. Whatever.

Another thing! So I have that the chapters are in Delirious' POV and Delirious is one of his inner 'voices'. If I ever make a POV (which I highly doubt) for the inner Delirious, it will say 'Inner Delirious' POV'. I'm just used to saying Delirious even though I call him Jonathan in the story.

Luna dared to me send Kelly (Tyler/Wildcat's girlfriend) a picture that I edited of her. I agreed without much hesitation but told her that if I get blocked, it's her fault. Story short... Kelly favorited the picture and Luna and I had a good laugh about it. Luna became Shia Labeouf.

I nearly forgot to mention this but in person, everyone will be called by their normal names. Online or over the computer or whatever, they will be called by their YouTuber names. Just wanted to clear this up.

I'm bored and rambling and hungry. Shit. Let me wrap this up real quick so that I can partake in my annual pantry raids. Blah blah blah, like my shit, flames are welcome to help make my freezer of a room warmer, have fun reading this wherever you are, and remember! Peace!
