Its nearly 10pm. Here I am, standing out in the parking lot just as brendon had instructed.
The air was fairly warm tonight making it a bit more comfortable to stand here alone. I stood watching the flickering light of a lamp post across the street as I wondered where brendon was at.
Maybe this was just a prank, a really..drawn out, well thought of, prank.
I just wanted to go before I spent anymore time being anxious over this.
I rubbed my arm and looked back at the apartment block behind me to where the window of my apartment was. The light was off as josh was hanging out at Alan's and Austin's. We had said a casual goodbye to eachother with the big hug and kiss, and he was all like 'I'll see you soon', I nodded in response but in my head was like 'yeah that's if brendon doesn't kill me first hahahahahahahahahahahaha'.
The fact is I didn't know when I'd see him next because brendon hadn't told me how long we would be away for, which just added to my panic. In fact brendon had barely told me anything at all, just random texts here and there to check up on me, then he'd read my messages and not reply whilst avoiding all my questions.
So sorting things out on my own with little information, I had just told josh that I'd be gone for a few days and he assumed that id be back by Monday for work, because he knows how I am with work.
In his mind now I'm just spending a weekend with brendon because brendon wanted someone to 'tag along with him while he goes to some family thing'. All of which is the lie I told josh, which he bought and only questioned why brendon asked me to go and not someone else, to which I replied with 'brendon needed someone like me to come so it looks like he's more responsible infront of his relatives'. Josh replied with 'why is it when I picture Brendon's relatives I think of them all having Brendon's face but with bodies of different men and women'.

I sighed and turned back around to scan the parking lot again only to realise I wasn't alone. There was a dark figure walking over to me and naturally my first thought was slenderman, but that thought was pushed aside when my phone vibrated in my pocket. I slipped it out to see a message on the screen.
Brendon- I see you Sent 10:01
You: Could you get anymore creepy? Read 10:01
"Yes." I heard the smooth voice come from directly in front of me.
I looked up to see the familiar grin as he pushed his hood off his head to reveal the rest of his face.
