|:|Chapter 5|:| Sanity Falls

  You, Larry, and Sal had got back to the apartments and were standing outside of the elevator, saying your goodbyes to Larry.

After you said bye to Larry, You and Sal got into the elevator. Sal went to press the fourth floor button but you beat him to it, since you were already closer to it. Sal just shrugged and leaned against the elevator wall.

"So..." You say, trying to break the silence that had followed you two since you got in. "What kind of music do you listen to?"

You knew that this was the question to ask, because when Sal looked over at you, you could see a smile in his eyes through his prosthetic. "Ever heard of Sanity Falls?" He asks you, standing up straight now.

"No, what's it like?" You hear the elevator ding before the doors open.

"Let's make a quick stop at my apartment before you head home. If it's okay with you." Sal left the elevator and looked back at you, as if half expecting you to not step off like you did earlier this morning.

"Hm, I'm sure my Dad wont call the police if I'm five minutes late." You shrug, stepping off the elevator. "So sure, I guess we can make a quick stop." "Alright then, follow me." Sal said as he waved you over to his apartment.

When you two stepped inside you noticed nothing different. His apartment was just like all the other ones, expect for a big fat tabby cat who was lounging on the couch. "I didn't know we were aloud to have pets here?"

"Oh," Sal looked over at his feline friend. "yeah, I don't think we are. But what Addison doesn't know won't hurt him." Sal shrugs as he walks over to the cat and pats it. It doesn't seem to care though.

You laugh a bit and walks over to Sal and the tabby, petting it as well. "Yeah, I guess so."

"Sal? You brought a friend over?" A tall man with blue hair, like Sal's, walks in while you two continue to pet the Tabby. "Hey Dad." Sal said, looking over at the man. "Yeah, this is Y/N. Y/N, meet Henry, he's my Dad." You stood up and held out your hand for Henry to shake. "It's very nice to meet you, Mr Fisher." You say as he shakes your hand.

"You too, Y/N." He said as you sat back down. "So, how long have you known my son for?"

"Not very long, sir. I moved in two days ago, that's when Sal and Larry helped me move boxes in." You say as you take note of Sals silence as he just pets the cat. "Sal brought me here to show me some music he listens to."

"Oh, well that's nice of him, now isn't it son?" Henry asks, glancing at Sal, who just hummed in response. "Welp, I shouldn't hold you two. Which apartment do you live in Y/N?"

"403, sir. I moved in with my Dad." You say, petting the tabby again. "Well, I hope you enjoy living here Y/N." Henry said as he walked around the couch. "Also, Sal, just make sure you don't make the neighbors call in a noise complaint again."

You glance over at Sal, to see him just laughing. "Yeah, I'll do that this time." He said, while getting up. You felt a pang of nervousness as Henry went to his room. You stood up. "What did he mean by that?" You ask, scared for your ears.

"You'll see." Sal said, smiling under his mask. He lead you to his room and closed the door behind you two.

His room was like any other, some posters here and there, a radio, and a guitar hanging on a stand, but besides from that, it was the same as the other ones. You were basically ready to book it outta that apartment, since Sal wouldn't tell you what was up.

Sal walked over to the radio. "Oh, yeah, uh..." Sal said, scratching the back of his neck. "If you hate metal you probably won't like this." "Wait wha-" You were cut off by intense metal screeching in your ears. You were so startled you tripped on the tabby cat, who had followed you two into the room.

You hit the floor with a good THUD. As soon as you tripped you heard the music shut off and Sal's footsteps quickly walk over to you. "Y/N! Are you alright? Sorry, I didn't expect you to take it like that." You sat up, and gave a thumbs up. "Yeah, I'm alright, just startled me is all."

You felt something warm drip onto your upper lip. "You're bleeding." Sal stood up and walked over to his dresser, grabbing a couple tissues off the top and handing them to you. You gave a quiet laugh. "Heh, thanks Sal." You say as you put the tissue to your nose.

You looked down at your knee, which now had a bruise on it. "Heh, Jerk." You say as you look back up at Sal, giving him the most fake pissed face ever. He just looked at you for a second before snickering. You smiled, and gave a small laugh, which he joined in and soon enough, you two were a couple of laughing messes.
