AN: The music video to Everybody Talks is so gay it hurts lol I love it, but the middle cuts off and it messes with the timing of my writing along with the music, so I went boring and just put a lyric video-only start it when it starts playing in the story k?
Sry I take so long to update- I write this on paper, read it a million times and correct it everysingletime, then I go on and write a part, and repeat the cycle...sometimes I only get to write a paragraph cuz of self-diagnosed ADHD lol But I typed up the beginning of this chapter from 11 to 12, then I got up at 4 AM to eat breakfast, so I continued writing after 5:30 when I got back to my room after putting my uniform in the dryer...and now I'm going to school (my school is next door to my house, so I can walk in right when the bell rings if I feel like it)...Sorry rambling- just go read my lovelies! lol

I pick up my pace, trying to draw some distance between me and the druggies on the street. Thoughts are racing through my mind as I glance over my shoulder trying to figure out where I am, who are these people? Where am I? I'm so lost...Where are all the damn signs? I can only remember what the freak on the bus kept chanting in hoarse whispers into my ear. I got really creeped out so I decided to get off on any random stop, just to get away from him.
What the fuck does he mean "Coming for you." His voice is still echoing in my head and I can't get it out. What's coming for me? And why was he- the creep on the bus- chanting at me when I don't even know him.
I'm only being paranoid thinking about this, I should just erase it from my memory. I think I'll just go to Seth's and have a drink with him. He's bound to have some form of booze.
As I walk I pass a club a few blocks away from Seth's and I decide to go in and dance, maybe get a few drinks, before I go to his place.
When I get to Seth's trailer I open the door with the spare key- after knocking and waiting too long- I walk in to see him lying stark naked, face down on the floor with the lights off. I nudge him repeatedly with the toe of my boot and wait for a response.
"Who the"- He says almost turning fully to look up and see who it is.
"Aw- shit man, don't get up!" I say turning my head away.
"Oh, sorry Char." He says, noticing what he's not wearing.
"I've seen more; you're crazy drunk." I joke throwing him his boxers off a chair and turning to the kitchen cabinets to search for something to drink.
"Beer's in the fridge, there's some on the table too." He says coming back from his room in the connected trailer, now half dressed.
"Pants, an accomplishment eh?" I laugh taking a swig of beer and bringing two more out of the fridge. I walk around the open counter that splits the kitchenette and main room and set the two bottles down, crashing onto the big green futon.
"Thanks." Seth says sitting down next to me and reaching for a beer.
"Hey, mine!" I say smacking his hand away.
"To what do I owe the honor of your- ur- wonderful presence?" He says sarcastically, taking the beer anyway.
"My mom kicked me out after her boy-friend dumped her; I slept at the park with Starr yesterday. It was fun. I forgot to call you..." I trail off laughing at his fake-hurt filled face.
"You wanna crash here tonight?" He smiles devilishly.
"Do you even have to ask?" I say, making my voice thick and throaty, pretending to try to seduce my closest friend. I close up to his face, as if to give him a kiss, then I reach over and blast "Everybody Talks" by Neon Trees on the old stereo.
