I spent the rest of the night watching tv with two people I barely know.I kind of like Mrs.Owens and Lucas,but Casey.....let's say she's probably going to end up like Jenna.I was still awake when the sun rose but Mrs.Owens was asleep with Lucas in her arms.I stood up and walked around.I didn't want to be nosy so I didn't open any closed doors.About 5:30 am I heard a phone ringing in the kitchen.I walked in there between rings and read the caller id.It was Pewds' number so I answered it.

"Where's Crystal?"Toby yelled.

I cringed and blinked.I really need to lay off pissing him off.I mean seriously how many times have I made him mad?

"Lower your voice dude,"I said softly.

I guess my throat was dry and I sounded different because of what he said next.

"Who's this?!"Toby yelled.

"It's me you moron,"I said rolling my eyes.

"Did you roll your eyes?"

How the hell does he know that?!?

"No,"I said looking around.

I even peeked out the window and saw no sign of life.

"Well you're lucky.It snowed again last night and you did too roll your eyes!"Toby yelled.

"How do you know that?"I asked.

"I can see you in the window,"Toby said.

I looked out the window and saw him standing in the middle of the snow covered road.He waved.

"Did it snow at home?"I asked.

"So bad car wheels are covered,"he said.

"Hold on,"I hung up and went into the living room.

"Mrs.Owens,"I said poking her.

"Huh?"the woman asked.

"My boyfriend found me,"I said.

"Well that's good for you,"she said,starting to nod off.

"Well I'm going to leave,"I said.

"NO!"Lucas said clinging to my leg.

I think he was faking being asleep.Mrs.Owens sat up and looked at me.

"Can't you stay here for the day?"Mrs.Owens asked.

"Let me ask Toby,"I said,adding while looking down at Lucas,"Alone."

He let go and I walked out the door.

"Toby!"I yelled running to him.

I hugged him and he hugged back.

"How did you end up here?"he asked.

"I needed a walk and ended up walking along a creek,"I said.

"Okay.Let's go home,"he said starting to Slender Walk till I let go.

"Well the people I stayed with want me to stay the day,"I said sheepishly.

Toby threw his head back and groaned.

"It's only for a day,"I whined.

"....Alright,"Toby said following me back into the house.

I lead him back into the living room and Mrs.Owens smiled at him.

"So you're Toby?"she asked.

"Yes mam',"he said nodding.

"And a gentleman too,"she chuckled.

"Do you like cars?"Lucas asked.

Toby looked down at the small boy then back at me.

"What is it with you and small kids?"he asked.

"Dunno,"I shrugged.

"Do you like caaarssss?"Lucas asked again.

"Sure,"Toby said.

"Did you know Crystal repairs them?"Lucas asked.

"She does?"Toby asked glaring at me.

"It's cars not rocket science,"I shrugged.

"For some people I can say other wise,"Mrs.Owens said.

"MOM!Where's my pink blouse?!"Casey yelled.

Get me out of here....

"In the wash dear,"Mrs.Owens said quietly.

"I need it-Oh.Who's the cutie?"Casey asked twirling her hair.

How shallow can this girl get?She specifically told me she had a boyfriend!

"I'm Toby,"Toby said catching the look I was giving Casey.

"No way you're her boyfriend!"she blurted.

"You told?"Toby asked as my face probably went red.

"Maybe...."I said.

He shook his head and twitched slightly.He hugged me and kissed my forehead.

"You're adorable when you blush,"he whispered.

I nodded and he let go.

"That's adorable!"Mrs.Owens squealed.

I take back what I said about her being a mother.She's a teen trapped in a mother's body.Casey scowled and walked out.If she isn't a clone of Jenna I'm going to be surprised.

"So how did you two meet?"Mrs.Owens asked.

"Can't really tell ya.We've been friends for years before I asked her out,"Toby replied.

I rolled my eyes and sat down.This going to be one long day.

*Four hours later*

"Crystal this my boyfriend Greg,"Casey said.

I looked up from my phone to see someone with black hair,brown eyes,and a nervous look.

"Hi,"I said.

"Nice to meet you,"he said.

I raised an eyebrow.I didn't say anything.

"I didn't speak,"I said.

"I know,"he said.

Could this dude get any weirder?I moved down the couch one and listened to the news.

"This just in a figure known as the Reaper is causing chaos on a state prison.The figure is reported to wear a purple cloak and not to show it's face,"the anchorwoman said.

My head shot up as they continued on the story.

"This figure has only been seen at night standing outside the cells of convicted prisoners.Not an hour later who ever the convict was is reported mysterouisly dead.Farther anazlies is taking place as we speak.How is the Reaper killing these convicts?"she asked.

I turned the tv off and sat for a moment.What has my life become?
