Haunted hotel (an IM5 fanfiction)

Chapter 8

*Back to Evan's pov*

Cole is probably one of the sweetest people I have ever met. Now, I don't know if I've told you this before but I am very bad at telling if a boy likes me or if they are flirting with me. Cole keeps saying stuff like

'Awe yeah'

When I say something about myself.

'Thats cute'

When I tell him about things I did as a kid.

And last but not least

'Your beautiful'

That's the one that I'm confused about. He has said it to me many times during this conversation and I don't know how to respond and to react. I keep saying thanks but I think he is getting confused as well. Last time he said it I called him cute back and he didn't say anything after that, so hopefully he's as flattered as I am? Or is he as confused as I am?

"So Evan"

"So Co-..."

That's when everything bad started happening. I went to respond to Cole but all the lights in my hotel room went off. I was terrified. I know it could have been a power shortage or a fuse malfunction but I had a feeling it was something else.

"Cole?"

I said shakily. There was no response.

"Cole seriously this isn't funny"

Now I was shaking and crying. I have never been good with scary stuff and I don't think I ever will be. I decided to get up and try to find the light switch. I stood up and instantly felt dizzy. I shook it off and kept walking towards what I thought was the door. By now, I was still shaking, crying and feeling dizzy. My legs started to shake and that's when I felt myself hit the floor. I hit my head really hard when I fell. I know from school that when you hit your head and feel tired you shouldn't close your eyes, and I fought not to close them but I couldn't help it. I shut my eyes and that's when everything went black and all my thoughts disappeared.
