Driving through the small unfamiliar town, I felt a sense of relief. I could finally walk the streets freely.

A small convince store caught my eye. I was starving after driving so long and desperately craved some sugar. I parked my shitty car and walked in and quickly made my way to the candy isle and picked up some M&M's and reese's pieces. Making my way to the checkout I notice a boy with black dyed hair behind the counter. He obviously noticed I was approaching him and he took out his earphones and jumped up from his slouchy position.

"Hey" he said clearing his throat. I looked over to his name badge. His name was Michael.

"Hi" I reply quite shyly

"Are you new here?" He asked while bagging my candy.

"Yeah how did you know"

"Well it is a pretty small town and I've lived here my whole life" he chuckled, his laugh was contagious and couldn't help but let out a small snigger. "Well I'm Michael Clifford"

"Taylor Montgomery"

"Pleasure to meet you Taylor, that will be $3.46 " quickly rummaging through my pockets I handed him the change.

"Don't suppose you know if there is any apartment for sale around here" I asked I needed to find an apartment quickly I did not want to sleep in my car... Again

"The apartment next to me is actually for sale" he raised on eyebrow, one thing I have never been able to do. Then he got out a pen and wrote down his landlords number.

"Thanks Clifford I'll see you later"

"Look at you giving me a nickname already" he awed . I stuck my tongue out at him like I was a toddler. "Bye Taylor. " he cooed

I don't know why I was oddly confident around him. Maybe we can be friends. I've never had a friend before apart from Ashton.

..........................................................

After being on the phone for about half an hour with the landlord I finally got the apartment. It sounded pretty shitty but the rent was cheap.

I approached the apartment building after driving in circles for about 20 minutes and parked my car in the parking lot. Getting out of my car I got a proper chance to finally see the building. I looked pretty shitty. The old green paint was chipping of exposing the brown brick below.

I headed towards the lobby and I knocked on the landlord's.i was oddly nervous and It felt like I was in high school again and was waiting to go to the principles office.

"Come in" I heard the southern accent of the women I was taking to on the phone from the other side of the door. I twisted the old brass door knob and the door creaked open to reveal an old women in her late 60's.

"I'm Taylor , we talked on the phone"

"Oh Taylor hunny, your apartment is number 47 and here is your key, I will need your first rent payment next week"

"Okay thank you " I said awkwardly. I got a weird vibe off the women so didn't talk much, I grabbed the key off her and stepped into the courtyard.
There was an old decaying picnic table and pots filled with dead plants. The building was eerie. I liked it.

After climbing up 3 flights of stairs I finally got to my apartment. Number 46. I only carried one of my boxes containing my clothes up I will get the rest in the morning. As the apartment comes furnished and I'm too lazy to get the rest of my stuff.

I got my key out of my back pocket and opened the door while balancing the box on my thigh .

I walked into the living room which smelt strongly of cigarette smoke and alcohol.
"Previous owners must of loved to party" say under my breathe.

I go to check out my bedroom, it was painted white, with a single bed in the middle of the room and a wardrobe in the corner. I get my phone and turn on Hurricane by Halsey and start to dance while unpacking my clothes and fold them into my new wardrobe.

"There's a place way down in Bed Stuy,
Where a boy lives behind bricks,
He's got an eye for girls of eighteen,
And he turns them .."

"Why" a cold muffled voice said from in the hall. Interrupting my singing.

"Hello? Ash is that you ? " I shouted, kind of scared at this point.

"Luke stop please " the voice cried out fearfully.

I opened my door and slowly followed the cries to the kitchen. I opened the door to see a teenage boy with dark hair hiding under the table with his head buried into his shirt sobbing uncontrollably.
He notices by presence and looked up and at me momentarily his eyes where fully black and his face was as white as snow.I froze in my place and stared at him.

"A-are you okay ?" I stutter. What's wrong with his eyes? He looked almost demonic.

He stops crying and slowly raises his head up this time he was staring right at me. His eyes glistened with darkness it felt like he was staring into my soul.

"Don't let him get you" he whispers.

With that he vanished into thin air and left me standing alone in the kitchen. Wondering what the fuck just happened.
