It was now the beginning of the weekend, which meant it was the day of the party that Tessa had planned. I was excited to be going actually because this was going to be the first party that I ever went to, like ever.

I had never been to a party before.

If someone from school were throwing it I would have never gone but since it was going to just be me and them I was looking forward to it. I even was prepared to see Silas, if he was actually going.

Not that I wanted to see him, I was just prepared to... If I had to.

I was up last night texting in the group chat with Tessa and Nadia while also watching Stranger Things season 4 on my phone, so I barely had any sleep last night which caused me to wake up a little late which was 6 pm. But at least I got some and didn't have any nightmares.

I got up out of bed and went straight to my closet. I was going to have to be quick about getting ready because Tessa wanted us there by 9 pm.

I was going to be sort of dressing up better than I usually do to look more presentable, so I wanted to put more time into my appearance today.

I didn't have any really dress-up clothes so I was going to try and put something together that would look better than just a jacket and a pair of jeans which was my usual go-to.

I looked through my clothing and found a cute skin-tight emerald green shirt that would be long-sleeved. I was a little skeptical about wearing a semi-light shirt but I really liked it and I knew the color would look good on me complimenting my skin.

I then looked more into my closet searching for some bottoms to wear. As I looked more I realized that I didn't have anything other than sweatpants, joggers, leggings, and jeans.

"I really need to...go shopping." I blurted out loud still looking through my closet. I went further down until I reached my jeans and pulled out some white ones with slight rips in them.

At this point, I'm just going to stay away from any drinks today.

I laid my outfit on my bed, I put on a sweatshirt and some joggers just so I could go get ready for today.

I opened my door on my way to the bathroom when I saw something laying in the living room out of the corner of my eye. I stopped and looked to see that it was a crumpled piece of paper.

"Really Dad...the trash is literally in the kitchen," I said with annoyance on my way to throw it away.

I grabbed it looking down at it on my way to the trash when I saw smeared writing of what looked like a black marker.

I stood there puzzled before slowly un-bawling the paper to see the words...

𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤 𝙞𝙩 𝙤𝙧 𝙉𝙊 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙡.

Before I even had time to process what that even meant...

𝘉𝘈𝘕𝘎

I jumped falling straight to the ground to see that my front door had just been busted open.

A man holding another, helping him inside my apartment.

I looked at them with my eyes widened for what felt like minutes before I could get anything out.
