London's pov
*skip to Saturday afternoon*
Tally, Meily and I walk into the fifth bright, nothing-I-would-wear store and they continue to get overly excited about prom, but ever since finding that Seth wanted to ask me has made me feel weird, I can't see him or Tyler again. Tally is my best friend and yeh she tried to hook me up with him first year but it'd be weird now.
"What's up? It can't have been that bad with my brother and Tyler last night."
"Nah, it wasn't, Seth cut his hand open but it's just that I'm distracted. Dad called and he's coming home soon, but, I feel like there was something else." I really do, dad never says chat if it's good.
"Maybe he wants to pick your prom dress?" Oh god haha, Dad going into a dress store wow, what a strange sight. We all try to look at each other seriously but we end up laughing, God I love these girls. I wish I didn't run out on Seth and Tyler this morning though, my poor eyes when I got home. Did not think that Nicholai would be butt naked making breakfast but then again, it is my idiot brother. The girls find a bright blue wig and hand it to me, oh my gosh, I freaking love this. I buy it and we decide that we will let my Dad take me prom dress shopping since my mother won't and its quality time with Dad, so we only get the two gowns for them.

I get home with the girls but for some reason Nic sent them home on me. Now we are just sitting in the living room staring at each other.
"London, why had you been crying when you came home this morning?" His voice is low and he looks pained, "they didn't hurt you did they?"
"No, Nic, Seth woke me up with an air horn and it just brought back memories so I ran out." He shook his head.
"I get that's a funny prank but you don't do it to people you barely know." I nod and look at the carpet.
"I know, I won't be around them much anymore, not for a while anyway." He nods with a grim look, he knows that Anette wanted to meet dad and I know he won't tell Dad what they did. He will just tell him that the flashes are happening again. No one tells me what happened, I asked to figure it out on my own but the flashes come in nightmares so I wake screaming sometimes.
"How'd you guess what Dad wanted to surprise you with?" I ask to lighten the mood ask help make lunch for the both of us.
"Well, I've been wanting to go on that camp since I started high school, I figured I was finally getting it. I know that he is doing it because something bad has happened, did he say 'chat with us' to you?" I nod, we both know it's something really bad if he said it to both and not just one. I hope nothing too bad.
"Do you know why Mom isn't coming home? I mean I know she doesn't care much anymore but-"
"That'll be why. Three and a half years ago, when the incident happened, Mom started acting weird. Not the weird that Dad did, I caught her one day with another man, when I told Dad he was heart broken but said he would fix it. I guess it didn't work." Tears fill my eyes, I knew Mom didn't want us but I didn't think she would hurt Dad like this. Nic comes over to me and wraps his arms around me, I sob into him. Why does all this have to happen?

Later that night, I sit in my room doing homework when my phone rings. I look at the caller ID but it is an unknown number.
"Hello?"
"Hi sweetie, the boys told me you ran out early this morning. I wanted to make sure you were okay, but I've been at work all day and told Seth's mother too."
"Yeh, I'm okay Anette, just having trouble at home. Nothing serious, no need to worry." I say calmly.
"Okay, take care Lon."
"I will, bye." I hang up and continue my work. Sighing I get into bed as I have work tomorrow, dad comes home in two days, I guess things will get better then.
His face smiling was worse than any horror movie. I tried to scream but nothing came out, I look at my hand and see blood. No, no this can't be happening. I feel something sharp crawl it's way up my back, around my ribs and up to my neck. The pain is unbearable. Why is this happening to me? I cry out in pain, blood stained tears roll down my face as my vision fades.
"Donnie! Hold on, I'll be there in a sec, hang on baby!" The last thing I see is a pair of custom converse that I bought and then I hear an evil laugh before everything fades.
I wake up screaming and panting. I still feel the pain in my neck mostly, I hold the right side of my neck and check for blood. It can't be bleeding, no, no, I don't want to die. Nic comes running in to my room and sees my panic.
"It's not really bleeding Lon, it's fine, you won't die. I promise it's not bleeding, look." He touches my neck and shows me, there's no blood. I look at my own hand and the blood isn't there anymore.
"I heard someone call me Donnie again, they wore the custom converse I painted in first year." I sob, my breathing starts to slow as my brother soothes me.
"It's fine, Lon, I'll stay up with you tonight, I'm not leaving your side okay? We will find a way to stop these flashes." He cradles my head and shushes me into a sleep. Who was the guy with my converse?
