QUEER Platonic

Them

The drive was quiet and heavy aired. It was hard to breathe without being heard, sounded disgusting.
I hated the way of life, being indebted to your parents.
I loved them honestly, no matter how selfish they were sometimes.

I'd never done anything I wanted to do, it was always about how Danielle would be if I did.
Dad was that much in love. I wanted to be loved like that, in a way that nobody else was compromised.

I heard the sound of the indicators and forced myself up. I saw the large tree that had fallen across the road and automatically turned my eyes to Danielle, she hadn't even reacted to it when she saw it.
It was obviously rain had thrown it down, that meant that the roads were slippery and not safe for further traveling.

Instead of turning around to look for a hotel for us to stay, Danielle drove up a small road branching into the forest.
'I don't think that's a good idea!' I quickly mumbled but she ignored me and kept driving up the place.

I got darker to the point that the only lights were the headlights and that from the radio embedded in the dashboard.
I shrunk into my seat and watched as Danielle drive us to our deaths, a certain name swelled up in my throat but I couldn't bring it out.

I gasped when I saw a pair of glowing eyes staring right at me, I mean glaring. I couldn't comprehend what animals they were but an owl hooting made me conclude it was an owl.
I returned my eyes to the front and saw some lights ahead, thank God we were getting out of this_

The sound of the tire struggling to escape a hole filled the air and I groaned. So much for hope.
Usually when I see this in a horror movie I advise that you stay in the car unless the demon gets in too. The sound of the engine instantly stopped and it got horrifyingly silent, and I loved silence.
'Whoa..mom where are you goi_'

The door slammed at my face blocking all the sound that had escaped in for a moment, I sighed and fell back into the seat.
I watched her through the window as she squatted and disappeared for a moment before returning and entering the car. The engine roared up and the car moved on smoothly.

I had always thought of learning how to drive, Matthew had tried to teach me but I was too scared.
I had to learn on my own because there was no way Danielle would have taught me. I wouldn't ask her either way.

The car hit the tarmac and the car swooshed past the only glowing store, it had a gas station at least. The journey proceeded smoothly with beautiful trees swooshing past, I got worried when I realized the only house I saw was the store kilometers behind.
I saw small shack and sighed realizing that it meant someone owned it, although it could be a serial killer's, at least it was someone. Right?

The car took and rough turn and the sound of gravel welcomed me to a new place. Crickets, frogs sang. I heard I few owls too but what is new? I knew a sinister place when I saw one_

A distant cackle echoed when my eyes caught the massive dark twisted tree a distance from the car.
Œtre œ Œtre..
A felt a dark ominous presence staring at me from the back but when I turned, the shadow was gone and so was Danielle.

I panicked and looked in front only to realize the car had long stopped and she had gone inside. I fidgetted with the handle quickly opening the door and stepping out.
The chilling breeze welcomed me, creepily slipping through my hair like fingers. The tree stared right through me and I felt very alone, exposed, standing before it.

I tried to move but my shoe was tangled up in some grass, I yanked my leg away and walked to the house ignoring the ache I felt when the was out of the line of sight of the tree.
I stepped into the lifeless house and studied the dimly lit room. I swallowed the lump in my throat and shuddered, so much for posh living.
