3 BATIM

Putting this out there, this is the LAST time I am writing the ‘I trusted you’ prompt for batim. I’ve written this one at least four times already lol

The note was ink stained, crinkled, yet it was shockingly still intact.

It was the note that Henry had been given from his ‘old pal’, Joey Drew. He looked at the words he was so familiar with at this point that they were practically inked into his brain forever. 

“I can’t believe you survive with me...” He hissed under his breath, not wanting to catch Tom’s attention from beyond the front wall of his makeshift cell.

He crushed the little sheet of paper in his hands, balling it up, before throwing it across the room. It landed with barely a sound onto the floor, sitting there now, as if it taunted him. It was practically screaming at him that it was part of the reason he came here, that it was what started all of this, lead him to that damn apartment.

Henry glared hard at it from where he sat across the room on his cot, hands clutching at his sides.

That stupid note, telling him exactly what Joey tells him every single time in the kitchen, when he is forced against his will to enter into The Studio, that Joey has something to show him.

“I trusted you...” He said, barely above a whisper. “I trusted you back in the day, and I was stupid to trust you now.”

He laid down, facing the wall where golden messages waited for him to rediscover them. After this loop, that letter will be back in his pocket, like he hadn’t tried to destroy it again and again, taunting him with a ghost of Joey’s words.
