Until Dawn; Before and After

It was just a nightmere.

   Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been updating this week or last week. I've been busy with school and friends, as well as having a writers block. I just needed time planning whats going to happen in the book and editing before I start posting again. I promise to get back to my regular writing Schedule, my writing schedule is updating Until Dawn;Before and after one one week and then Regrets and Mistakes the next.

Ashley's Pov.

    I bolt up out of my bed and find myself on the other side of the room. I'm freezing, shaking and have a pounding headache. I have dried tears on my face and I'm extremely sweaty. Shakily I hug myself before going to pick out an outfit. Suddenly I hear a noise behind me and I flinch. Slowly I turn around and and realize it just turned 3:00am. I groan before walking to the washroom.

Chris's Pov.

I drop my phone on my face.

"Ouch!" I yell.

My neighbour bangs on the wall.

"Keep it quite!" He yells.

    I groan and sit up. I place my hands in my head and feel a massive headache. Bright numbers on my nightstand flash and I quickly read them. It's only 3:45am. I trudge towards the kitchen. There's a cup filled with water and painkillers on the counter. I just shrug and then chug the water and take two pills. Almost instantly I feel tired and I slowly making my way back to the room before passing out on the bed.

Jess's Pov.
1:30 am.

My phone starts playing Shawn Hook- sound of your heart right in my ear. I groan before picking up my phone.

"What?" I snap.

"Hi honey, I was wondering if you could check up on Chris for me. His parents are worried because he isn't answering their phone calls recently." My mom says.

I groan and cover my eyes with my hands.

"Seriously? Mom just because your best friends with his mom doesn't mean I need to do anything for them. He's perfectly fine!"

"Please check on him. They are worried!" She reasons.

"But-"

"If you expect to be able to live on your own when your just 18 you'd better do what I ask or you'll be back home."

"But-" I start

"Jessica!"

"Yeah, yeah whatever." I answer and then hang up.

I push my fuzzy blanket off of me and make my way to the bathroom. I walk in the middle of the hallway and reach my arm out, brushing my finger tips against  the wall. An old habit. I reach the bathroom and wash my face before hopping in the shower.

I turn the shower off and carefully step out, wrapping the towel around my body. I start to blow dry my hair and then put it into two braids, one on my left and one on my right. Then I tie them with two purple elastics. After that I walk back to my room and pick out an outfit, change quickly and then do my make-up.

On my way out I grab my sleeping pills, my phone and charger, as well as a couple cliff bars. I walk outside my house and feel a soft summer breeze instantly. The sky is completely black except for one thing, there are stars everywhere. The light up the sky in the most beautiful way. I shiver from the breeze and walk to my car, quickly driving off.

    I reach Chris's apartment building around 3:00 am and walk in. I quickly walk to the elevator and press the 6th floor. The elevator jerks to life and the familiar humming filled the small space. Soon it jerks to a stop and the elevator dings before the doors slide slowly open. I step out and take a sharp left, and I walk Down the hall.

   I stop at a potted plant and get on my knees, reaching under it to get the spare key Chris put there. Then I continue on before stopping at room 643. I quickly open the door and quietly shut it behind me. The carpet sinks slightly under my weight and I flick a light on.

   I silently walk across the room and into the kitchen, there I take out the sleeping pills and get a cup out, filling it with water. Then I eat one of my cliff bars before turning on the TV. About half an hour or so later I hear Chris come out of his room. He walks into the kitchen and before I know it he has taken some of my sleeping pills. I look over the couch and see him stumbling Back to his room.

4 Hours later.

  I'm currently making coffee at 7:00 am when Chris walks into the kitchen. He looks startled at first before saying morning.

"You know you had my sleeping pills last night."

"What? Sleeping pills? Why where they out?"

"Why wouldn't they be? I mean think Chris, it's  sleeping pills they are out for the most self-explanatory reason."

"Whatever."

I continue making my coffee for awhile before asking him,

"How's Ashley?"

"Umm, she's fine. W-Wait well she just got o-out of the hospital but she's f-fine. W-Why do you ask?"

"So she's fine?" I ask jokingly.

"N-No not like that!" He explains.

"Uh-huh. Sure."

His face turns bright red and he goes into the living room.

   After awhile I follow him, taking my coffee with me. I walk around the couch and sit down, crossing my legs.

"Why are you here?"

"Your parents said you wouldn't answer your phone and my mom made me come check up on you." I explain before taking a sip of coffee.

"Typical." He sighs.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not answering because I'm mad at them, they know that."

"Oh."

Okay,okay I know that's a horrible way to end the chapter. I just had nothing else to write. So did you think last chapter was real? Where you relieved when it was just a dream? Comment below about your opinions. Also, should I skip to when they all go to the mountain? Or do you want me to still write before for now? Also if you have any questions you want me to answer PM me or leave it in the comments below.
