I woke up with sweat pouring down my face, my limbs stiff and numb, and the sensation of shaking in my head. I felt nausea, and my cheeks felt flat, as if life itself was sucked out of me.
"Wait where am i?"
I looked around this grassy field, and stood to my feet. I was standing in a graveyard.
And then I turned around. JOEY.
Every inch of my body tensed and I felt my face heat up. But this wasn't the chemistry created by infatuation in Kevin's presence. This was anger and fear swirled into a chaos of endless emotion.
"Please stop! Please don't be afraid of me."
His voice was soft, seemingly graceful. It was manly and thick, And I felt intimidated, yet calm.
"Joey?" I stuttered.
"Yes. Just hold on for a minute please, I am begging you." He sighed. "Let me explain something. It's not about the dance, it's about you."
I felt hurt. "I think I know myself more than you know me."
"Yeah, well you have a very preconceived idea of the person I am too."

"WHY THE HELL SHOULD I TRUST YOU. WHY THE HELL AM I IN A GRAVEYARD?"

The Chevy symbol look scratched and faded.
He pulled something out of his car. "Here." He handed me a pistol. "Do you feel safer?" My hand shook as I begin to notice that a gun is a lot heavier than I had predicted to be, as well as the heaviness that was held by it, the fact with one push, I could end a human's life.
"Please just come with me. We are going to your house. And if not, if we don't end up at your house in five minutes, shoot me." I climbed in the car hesitantly.
