"Oh no..." He says.

It's dark. It's creepy. It's freakishly silent.

"What are we going to do?!" He shouts. I can't make out his visage; the only light is coming from the nurse's office, which isn't that close. But even without clearly seeing him, I can tell he has on a frightened expression.

"Lawrence... Feel the wall for a switch. It's got to be somewhere on the wall you're leaning on," I instruct him.

He quickly finds it and illuminates the main hallway. He sighs in relief. "Sorry... I have nyctophobia. I have panic attacks in the dark." He blushes a little.

"So how do you sleep?" I ask.
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg7XzC7pAg
"Who says I sleep in the dark?"

I take this into consideration. "Good point. Now. What are you going to do?"
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q2bwXNIHt
He thinks for a while. "Well, I wouldn't mind staying here, since I have no choice, really. What about you? Don't YOU have a family to get to?"

Honestly... As long as I have food, I'm good. My house isn't any better. Dark. Creepy. Silent. Ring a bell? "Uh... No... I live alone. So I'm good staying. There's the cafeteria here, showers in the locker rooms, and I think that there are reclining armchairs in the teachers' lounge, so I'm good. Plus, I don't have a phone. So I have no choice but to stay," I say all in one breath.

He smiles at me. Why? Is he... Happy? Does he pity me? Is it a sad smile? Why is he so hard to read? The only person I ever read to perfection was [insert dead lover's name here].

"So, do you want to give me that tour now?" Lawrence smiles that pearly white grin.
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbu1S3HFNO
I smile back. The first smile in a long time...

"Why not?" I grin.

I showed him every room I could. We got to know each other better... The friendship you could create in a year, we kind of created in a day. It's incredible...

By time it was 10PM, the last room I showed him was the lounge. I open the door and let him look around.

Right as I'm about to plop down in one of the big comfy chairs, Lawrence stops dead in his tracks.

"Hey, take a look at this..."

I moan and get up grouchily. I walk up behind him and look around. Until I see what he's looking at. A puddle of liquid. A puddle of red. A puddle of blood.

And that's when the door closed behind us.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhIzlr5rzS
