Place: ???

"W-wha..."

"Wh-where am i?"

"Pl-please....whatever I did...i-i'm sorry.."

"PLEASE, YOU CANT JUST LEAVE ME HERE!"

"It's so dark...."

"I hear the voices whispering to me...."

It's you're fault.

Nobody will ever love a freak like you.

"Stop it.. that's not true!..i'im not a freak"

Face it...You're useless and everyone will forget you even existed...

"I SAID STOP!!"

P.o.v: 3rd

Gasp

Charlie quickly sat up on his bed. His body drenched in sweat as he breathed heavily. He glanced at the clock on the night stand that he had on his left side.

6:45 a.m

"Shit..." He flung the covers off of him. He groggily rubbed his eyes making his way to the bathroom. Soon after hopping in the shower.

After shower

He rummages through hid clothes throwing everything on his bed. Pulling out a shoe box from the top shelf walking to the bed.

He throws on his outfit and opens the box with a shit ton of chokers, bracelets, rings, necklaces, earrings, and pins. He picked out what he wants and putting the box back in closet.

Outfit:

(I made this outfit lol)

He grabbed his phone, charger, and airpods from the nightstand and left his room. He walked through his small one bedroom apartment and grabbed his keys on the coffee table.

He opened his door locking it on the way out. Walking outside to the bus-stop.
Waiting for the bus he connected his airpods to his phone and listened to music (song above).

Timeskip

He walked into the mall taking the escalator to the 2nd floor. He walked in and waved to his co-worker Salem. And they were a very laid back, honest, and chill person to be around.

He sat in the front counter putting his name tag on and throwing his lanyard over his neck. While Salem was finishing up organizing the funko pops.

Charlie's P.o.v:

I stood at the check out tapping my fingers on the counter like I was playing to drums.

"Ya know I could use some help" Salem stocked the shelves not looking at me.

"Nah, I'm good" I smirked. He walked over to me and smacked my head.

"OW"

"Get up and help me" I rubbed my head.

"OK! Ok, geez" I walked over to the box of pins and poured them into the basket with the rest of them. I mumbled incoherent curses under my breath.

"Damn, who pissed in you're cereal this morning? Did you have another nightmare again?" He glanced at me, with concerned eyes only a loving person could have.

"......." I walked over to the break room and came back with a broom and began sweeping. I heard a sigh in the distance before feeling a hand on my shoulder.

I flinched as I glanced to look Salem in the eyes. Tears threatening to spill as he opened his arms for me to hug him. I quickly latched onto them crying as they patted my back.

"It's ok...it was just a stupid nightmare. It's not real.."

But they were very far from the truth..it was real...I had looked at book, after book. Online articles, YouTube videos...nothing.

Nothing explained what happened to me. Nothing explained where I had been, what that place was...Every day it felt like I was driving myself further into insanity..

I broke the hug and wiped my face..I can't believe I broke down like that...making a fucking fool of my self at work. Nonetheless infront of my friend..stupid....stupid..STUPID. I'm a fucking embarrassment..

"CHARLIE!" I flinched, snapping out of my thoughts and looked at Salem.

"Y-yes?..."

"There's a customer waiting at the checkout counter. You can take it easy and clean while I take care of them. The last thing you need is to be socializing."

I simply just nodded and mumbled a 'thank you' before grabbing the broom and started to sweep.

I felt them pat my back. "No problem buddy" they walked over to the checkout counter.

I sighed, already wishing that the day would be over..

(This is chapter one! Sorry it's shorter than usual. I didn't wanna put too much in the prologue. Since it's really only an introduction to the story to start it. But I hope you enjoyed! Vote for chapter 1 I really appreciate it)
