Ch 2 - Where were you when we we're getting high? ×

A/N: Hi guys! This is my first time, so comment something so I can improve. Thanks!

I woke up with a jolt... Holy shit! Where am I?! I panicly glaced at every direction. White wall, a small bedside table, a closet, some posters posted on the wall and a surf board.

I almost hit my head with the lamp shade on top of the table. "You're on your own room, idiot!" I said to myself.

I've been far away for too long that even my own room doesn't even looked familiar to me. I sighed with disappointment. I grab my phone to check the time. Its nearly 10 in the evening which means I've been asleep for five hours now.

I get up and changed my clothes and head back downstairs to hunt for food.

When I reached the living room, Dad is already asleep on the couch while I can see Mum, fixing something inside their room.

I ate spaghetti that Mum probably cooked this afternoon. After I ate, I went outside the house.

I decided to take a walk around the neighborhood just to pass the time. Nothing much changed really, they still looked the same when I went on tour.

I think I've already walked a few blocks away from our house now because some of the house doesn't look familiar but I still continue to walk when I heard something...

"...Where we're you when we are getting high?..." A soft voice sings. "...Someday you will find me, caught beneath the land slide and a champagne supernova in the sky..."

The owner of the voice is a girl, sitting on the grass wearing a white shirt and a denim shorts and just a black flipflop. Earphones are plugged in her ears. I walked a little towards her.

"Nice song you've got there by the way." I said. She slowly looked up and when she meet my eyes "Oh god!" She said looking shocked. She plucked the earphones on her ears and immediately get up and take a step backward.

"Oh, sorry I startled you." I said immediately. She have a long black hair that almost falls on her elbows. She's not that tall, probably 5'6 or so.

"Who are you?!" She asked. I can tell that she's a bit scared of me.

"I'm..." Should I say my name? "I'm Thomas by the way. I live a few blocks away...Uhhh sorry to scare you though."

She let out a sigh. "I thought you're..." She trailed off, bet she's gonna say something bad. "Nevermind. What are you doing here? And why do you just appear in front of me just like that? You almost scared me to death!"

"Whoa! Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." I started. "I just like the song that's why I stopped. That'ts all."

"Okay." She said. I nervously looked around and looked at her again. "I'd probably get going." I said to her.

"Okay." She said still looking as shocked as before.
