"Finally, this secret he's been holding...is all mine." I was excited but nervous. In my dream, it had our conversations, "What if my dream was right?" I prepared myself and opened it up slowly. I looked down and my face dropped.

"Its..."

"This is just some paper." I looked down at the paper feeling mislead into actually thinking something was in there. I flipped through the papers expecting to find something, anything. After flipping through page after page of nothing I was losing hope.

I looked over at Michael who seemed relieved. "I-I don't understand. What is this?" He looked at me and shrugged. "Just some paper." I sighed and laughed at myself. "I actually thought there was something in here," I said while flipping through the pages.

"I didn't have any clue as to what...but I thought there was something." I was still laughing at myself, flipping through the pages. I was about halfway through, ready to stop, when I decided to try to find something, just once more. I flipped again, not expecting to find anything.

My eyes widened as I looked at a photo strip. "There it was, the secret I had been looking for." I was about to reach down to grab the photo strip when Michael snatched it away. "Michael!" I shut the folder quickly. "Hand it over lemon boy." I shot my arm out to snatch it away from him.

"Dude if you don't give it to me I'll molest you." He shook his head and shoved the photo strip in his pocket. "I warned you!" I leapt across the couch and started wrestling him for the photo.

Of course, I underestimated how quickly he could pin me down. "Damn Michael, give me the photo strip!" I tried to escape from his strong grasp, but as expected from a 6'3 monster, he easily had me beat. "Stop struggling so I can just drive you back home."

He looked so serious and I couldn't help but notice a hint of annoyance in his voice. A pit grew in my stomach and I stopped moving. "I shouldn't push the matter further... I don't want to make him angry."

"Yeah...let's just go." He sat up but didn't let go of my wrist. He pulled me along with him as we walked to the main entrance. He opened the door and didn't turn to lock it. Still holding onto my wrist, he headed towards his car. I could feel the dread sink in a bit.

"Why is he so pissed all of a sudden?" He opened the passenger door and shoved me in like I was a criminal getting thrown into a cop car. I held tightly onto my phone, the only thing I've been able to keep since I left my house a couple days ago.

"I've spent the last couple of days with my Youtube idol...and to think its ending on such a low note." He hopped into the driver's seat and started the car. The prolonged silence was broken by the radio sparking to life.

"Thank you Alyssa for the next song recommendation! Now playing 'For the Damaged Coda' by 'Blonde Redhead'! Don't forget to recommend your song at SysmexSounds.com!"

As the slow and soothing piano began to play I was able to have a little moment to myself. I was able to let go of all the crazy thoughts floating through my mind and was able just to focus on the steady beat. The street lights began to fade. We were just roaming an unlit road.

I never dared to take these roads, I've seen plenty of horror movies to know what an unlit road means. The song began to close up, and I soon noticed the road had as well. We were at a dead end. An unlit road with no houses or people...witnesses. The pit in my stomach only grew bigger as Michael slowly stopped the car.

I couldn't move, I didn't even ask any questions. I turned my head to Michael who was staring intensely at me. "Michael I think you may have taken a wrong turn." I bit down on my lip and only gripped my phone tighter. "I...I didn't."

In the background, I could hear the piano slowly dying out. "Why are we here Michael?" His expression didn't change, as he turned back to the wheel. "You'll see."
