A cloudy day in 1983

You woke up in a cold sweat. You weren't sure why though, you couldn't remember your dream, but you knew you had one.

There was a ominous stillness in the air that morning. And a pit in your stomach that couldn't seem to go away.

You looked to your window and saw that dark clouds filled the sky.

Slowly, you slid out of bed and started to get ready. Today was the day of CC's party.

On the way to the diner, you were silent. All you did was stare out the window.

"Everything feels off. It feels like I'm in a lucid dream. Something feels wrong too. I hate it. I hate this feeling-"

Your dad interrupted your thoughts.

"Are you okay kid? You've been awfully quiet"

"Yeah, didn't sleep well, that's all"

"Aw alright, well you'll sleep good tonight  at least!"

"Yeah.."

When you pulled up to the diner you could see Michael, his father, his siblings, Henry, Charlie and Sammy were already inside.

You took a deep breath and opened the door with shaky hands. When you stepped inside the first thing your eyes went to was the bear. The same bear that you've always been negatively drawn to. Suddenly an overwhelming feeling of pure horror washed over you. It was enough to make you immediately dizzy. You stumbled a bit but forced your self to recollect your thoughts not wanting anyone to notice.

But of course a pair of light blue eyes caught you. Michael ran over to where you were standing.

"Hey!, you alright? I saw you stumble a little"

You laughed it off "oh! haha yeah, just lost my balance for a second. Where's CC?"

You scanned the room for the birthday boy but he was nowhere to be found.

"He's in the back room with the other kids I think"

"Oh alright, I'm going to go say hi"

You went to go to the back room but Michael grabbed your hand, stopping you

"You look a little pale, are you sure you're alright?"

"Mikey. I'm all good! I didn't sleep that good last night that's all, don't worry" you said with a smile

"Well at least it's not a complete lie... I really didn't sleep well. Why does this boy always seem to know when something's wrong..."

Turns out you weren't the only one who didn't sleep well, when you got to the back room the first thing you saw was the now even bigger dark purple bags under CC's eyes.

"HI Y/N!!" Liz dropped the plushies she was playing with and came up to you and embraced you in a huge hug. You hugged her back.

"Hey Liz!"

The two twins, who were now three, followed Liz and hugged your legs. You let go of Liz and placed one hand on each of their little heads.

"Hi Charlie and hi Sammy"

"Hi" they said in unison.

They let go of your legs and sat back down with Liz. You went over to CC, who was sitting in the corner, on a chair. You crouched down to his level.
