Slender Man

"Talk to me Ethan." I frown as we sit on his bed.

"I don't know, I just- this morning i reached for my phone, but it was further than my eyes saw." He tells me running his fingers through his hair "I feel like i can't see properly, it's freaking me out."

"Are you sure you don't need glasses?" I ask.

"No," He groans "I'm serious, i have perfect eye vision. I don't know what's going on."

He sounds so childish right now. If he's becoming blind or something then he should see an eye doctor.

"When was the last time you got your eyes checked?"

He shrugs "I dunno,"

"Don't worry about it okay? We can check that out when we get home." I smile.

He closes his eyes momentarily before opening them "Okay,"

We stay silent for who knows how long. The noise from the ps3 being heard from downstairs. I pull out the paper i put my in my pocket looking over it.

"What do you think of this?" I ask.

"It's scary."

"I had a dream."

He looks at me worry flashing through his eyes.

"It was of him." I gulp, my hands clench into fist. I shouldn't be scared of this Slender Man guy. He's fake. Why am i getting so worked up over nothing?

Ethan places his hand over mine, my heart quickens as i look over at him. "He's not real." He says, a small smile playing at his perfect lips.

"You don't know that." I frown

"Our imagination plays with us, we see things when we think about it to much." He says, it's almost as if he's trying to convince himself. Did he have a dream also?

"Explain to me," I shake my head "Why do i have two papers that look like they are from the game?"

He opens his mouth to speak, but shuts it. This has to be a joke. Some kids that play pranks on people. They probably live close by somewhere. Then again, that doesn't explain the one at the gas station.

"We should go downstairs." Ethan mumbles.

We walk downstairs. The game is on pause when we see Sam throwing up, seth is holding her hair back while Jason looks like he's about barf also.

"Oh my god." I gasp running over to her. "What happened?"

"She just said she wasn't feeling good then all of sudden she starts throwing up." Seth explains.

Sam stops almost gasping for air.

"You okay?" I ask

She shakes her head "I feel dizzy."

Seth helps her into his arms, "Uh, can someone clean that up?"

Everyone looks at each other staying quiet.

"Fine i will." Seth groans as he takes Sam up to her room.

"That is disgusting." Jason comments

"It's not supposed to be good, dipshit." Ethan says sarcastically making me laugh.

Jason rolls his eyes stepping over the nasty pool of different substances. "well, i'm going to bed if you don't mind."

"Maybe we should clean it up." Ethan suggests.

I nod, the both of us grab a rag from the kitchen making sure it's wet. Thankfully the floors are wooden, it gives us an easy job.

"Gross." I gag throwing it in the plastic bag we found in the cupboard.

Ethan looks at me as if he should say something but doesn't.

"What?"

"Nothing," he smiles throwing his away "I was just about say something sarcastic"

I playfully roll my eyes standing up from the crouching position.

"I'ma check on sam."

He nods as he stands up also. "Night." He smiles walking to his room.

I walk upstairs to Sam's, her door is fully open. Seth sits beside her rubbing her stomach. I stand there in awe wishing i was in relationship. They are so cute. Ethan pops in my head but, i quickly shake my head walking over to Sam.

"You okay?" I ask.

She frowns "I don't know, I feel really dizzy."

"Do you think it's something that needs to be mentioned to a doctor?"

She instantly shakes her head "It's fine Scar, i'll probably be good by tomorrow."

"And if you're not, we're taking you." Seth tells her, she smiles rolling her eyes.

"Yeah, yeah."

And that's my cue "Goodnight guys, feel better tomorrow Sammy."

"Night." They both say.

I walk to my room before finding something to change into. I grab sweatpants and a t-shirt. Removing my top, something plays with the doorknob in the closet.

I furrow my eyebrows stepping closer to it. It jiggles again, my hands latch onto the knob opening it quickly.

My eyes widen and I scream falling to the ground. My heart quickens at the faceless man wearing a black suit and in the blink of an eye he's gone.

Footsteps are heard before my door swings open.

"Scarlett," Ethan's voice sounds as he helps me up "What's wrong? What happened?"

I stare at the closet not believing he could just disappear like that. He was just there, how is that possible?

"Scar?" Ethan whispers

Tears fall from my eyes as i wrap my arms around him. Why do i keep seeing him? Is he really real? Am i going to die? Fear ignites my body at the thought.

"Come on, you're sleeping with me." Ethan coos walking me out of the room.

I lay in his bed, staring at the ceiling. I think i want to go home, i feel unsafe here. Going to the beach seemed like the best plan at this point, even if it's cold, i'd rather be there then here. I turn to see Ethan walking back inside the room, my cheeks flush as soon as i see that he's shirtless.

"I don't know if you want to talk about it--"

"Oh, uh- I um.." What happened again? Or right... Slender Man. "I-i saw him in my closet." I tell him.

He frowns laying in the bed beside me. "I think we should go home."

"Me too." I sigh.

"Then we'll tell everyone tomorrow." Ethan says turning off the lamp.

"Alright. Goodnight."

"Night."
