"Hi Guys!" Donnas mom says, "Hi." Donna sits in the passengers seat. Then the boys in the middle and me and Gwen in the back. Donna puts a cd in and smiles to herself then at me and Gwen.

"...Even when the sky comes fallin', even when the sun don't shine, i got faith in you and i, just put your pretty little hand in mine, even when we're down to the wire, babe, even when its do or die, we can do it, baby, simple and plain, 'cause this love is a sure thing..."

We get to the drive in, and donna's mom parks the car. "I'll leave you kiddos alone, I'm going to head over with my friends! See you guys in a little, and ill be over there," she points at the red truck, "if you need anything. Bye kids!" She kisses donna's forehead, gives her money, then walks off. "Okay guys lets lower the back seat so we have enough room." We lower it, then bruce sits leaning on the front seat, i sit on the other end, and robin in the middle.

Donna passes out blankets, and lays with her head in my lap, then Finney in robins, and Gwen in Bruce's. Gwen is blushing, giving me a smile.

The movie starts, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. "HEY I DIDN'T KNOW WE WERE WATCHING A HORROR MOVIE!" Finney says. Donna laughs, "its okay Finn." She says, grabbing his hand and moving closer to him. Finney's face is practically a tomato and he has a big smile on his face. I smile at the both of them.

A jump scare pops up and i grab robins arm. Robin looks at me, i move my hand, "Im sorry, i didn't mean to, i just got scared, my bad." I say quickly apologizing. "I didn't mind it," robin says with a smirk on his face. He wraps his arm around my waist and i leaned on his shoulder. I look around, bruce is playing around with Gwen's hair, and shes focused on the movie, but smiles because of it.

Bruce and Gwen fall asleep, gwen on top of bruce. The movie ends and the 4 of us giggle at the sight. "Wakey-Wakey LOVEBIRDS!!!" Finney says clapping his hands. "Fuck Finney u scared the shit out of me!" Gwen says rubbing her eyes, and they both get up. We fix the car and all get in, waiting for Donna's mom. I look around, not knowing what else to do, and i see that van, that damn black van. My brain immediately went in a panic, but i tried to show i was calm.

I kept glancing at the van, not seeing the man. Just the van. A few minutes later donna's mom shows up. "Hey guys, im sorry i took so long, my friends were wasted, and i had to help them out." "Its okay mom." We drive back home. After about 10 minutes we arrive back at the house.

"Okay we can all fit into my room, i have a spare mattresses and a big bed." So Finney, Bruce, and Robin, sleep on the Air mattress, and the girls sleep on the bed. Everybody fell asleep, but I couldn't, i just didn't feel tired.

Donna has a huge room, she also has a balcony. I sit on a seat, I grab my walkman, put on my headphones, and press play. I pull out some cigarettes (I'm sorry if you don't like the idea of smoking, you can skip if you would like.)

"...My girl Liddy used to always smoke, cigarettes when she couldn't sleep, she'd disappeared for an hour and a half and when she'd come back she'd brush her teeth, but i could still smell it on her raggedy teeth, and i could taste it on our lips when we kissed, Poor little Liddy used to always quit, but she never really quits she just says she did..."
