Snow covered almost everything in a soft white blanket. The footprints of people from the past had left imprints of their journey. A tree had grown behind a bench, giving it shade in the summer but leaving it bare in the winter. A park once filled with the screams of playing children had grown quiet. You brush the snow off the bench and sit down. Your face was red from the cold but it never bothered you. The sun shined on the frozen ground making the world almost glitter around you. You let out a sigh of relief and close your eyes.

(What you're wearing)

The sun felt warm against your skin and the world melted away ever so slowly. You slightly smile but open your eyes quickly as you hear someone stumble down in front of you. It was a man, his blue hoodie stood out against the snow. His hair was spiked up then all of a sudden he throws up and passes out. You jump up and kneel to him, rolling him away from his throw-up. His face was pale and a flask falls out of his hand. You sigh and take your jacket off, throwing it around him. You then pick him up the best you can and set him on the bench. You grab your phone and call your dad.

"Yes, muffin?"

"Remember when Uncle Ethen would come over drunk?"

"Yeeesss?"

"Well, I never saw what you did to help him and this man might choke on his spit. Help"

You hear him sigh and you could picture him rubbing his forehead.

"You still have your location on, right?"

"Of course"

"Okay muffin, be there in a minute"

You hear the hang-up and you put your phone away. You look at the man in front of you and sigh.

"Who hurt you if you were already drunk at 8 in the morning"

Your dad comes and takes you and him to your house. He makes sure the man doesn't choke on his throw-up. Your dad looks at him and smiles.

"You did a good thing calling me"

You smile and look down at the man.

"Have you found out anything about him?"

Your dad checks his phone.

"Actually yeah, his name is Tom and it looks here like he has 4 lifelong friends that are his roommates."

"Perfect, do you have any of their phone numbers?"

"Yeah, his name is Edd. It's (***)-***-****"

You type it into your phone.

"Thank you"

"Is there anything else you need?"

"No, I can take it from here"

"Okay"

He kisses your forehead and grabs his keys.

"See you later muffin, love you"

"Love you too dad"

He leaves and you press call. The phone rings a couple of times before a man answers.

"Hello?"

"Hi, am I speaking to Edd?"

"Yes?"

"Great because I'm here with your friend, Tom, and he's passed out drunk."

"Oh no, is he alright?"

"Yes, but-"

You were cut off by a groan. Tom sits up and rubs his head.

"Where am I?"

You smile.

"He's up now, I'll take him home as soon as I can. Okay?"

"Okay, can I talk to him?"

"Yeah of course."

You hand the phone to Tom.

"It's Edd"

He looks at you with a confused expression then takes the phone.

"Hello?"

You walk into the kitchen and make a pot of coffee. He talks to edd for a bit as you make him some coffee and poor a cup of pickle juice. You grab some aspirin before walking over to him. He was holding his head in his hand and talking to Edd. You wait patiently for him to hang up before handing him the cup of pickle juice.

"I know it's not the best but drink the entire cup"

He looks at you, untrustworthy. You sigh then take a sip.

"I didn't do anything to it"

He then takes it and drinks it. You put your hand on the bottom of the cup so he drinks all of it. He then slams the cup on the coffee table. Just then you notice he doesn't have any eyes. They are just two black holes, sucking in everything around them. You shake your head then get up and get a cup of coffee for him. He looks around your living room.

"Where am I?"

"Just a couple of blocks from the park you passed out at."

You walk back to the living room and hand him the coffee, along with the aspirin. He takes them and then sets the coffee down.

"Thanks, can you take me home now?"

You nod and get up. He gets up and you both head out to your car.

"What's your address?"

He tells you his address and before you know it, you are already at his house. You watch as he heads inside, not saying another word to you.
