I had been staring into her eyes for what felt like an eternity and didn't even realise it. Not until she snapped her fingers and said "hello?...earth to Parker?." 
Bringing me back to reality, i couldn't yet decipher the deepness and lost look in her eyes, which left me with more questions but I held back.
1:30 in the morning and the party was half empty. Everyone who stayed in this part of Castle ville had all left and gone home in groups. Leaving just me,Xavier,Chris,Asha,Dylan,The black curly dude,his girlfriend,Ocean,and the twins who threw the party Dexter and Derrick.
We cleaned up the place and just sat there in silence.
"The name's Dionte" that was the black curly dude, he had decided to disrupt the peaceful silence by announcing his name....and i don't recall anyone asking him for his name.
"Lexi" his girlfriend said, also announcing her name.
"Ocean"
"Xavier"
"Chris"
"Dylan"
"Dexter"
"Derrick"
Everyone had introduced themselves safe for me.
"And you?"....Lexi asked, directing her question at me.
"What about me?"...i asked, confusion clearly written on my face.
"Your name jockhead" ocean answered nudging my sides with her elbow.
"Oh that?...it"s Parker, My name is Parker". I said whilst rubbing my sides. Ocean might look feminine, but she's got the touch of a rugby player I swear.
"Woah dude!!....you space out a lot". That was Chris .
"I know right?...what in the world are you even thinking of this time man?" Dylan asked.
"It's Asha, he's been gone for over 20minutes now" i answered. Worry seeping into my own voice.
"Baaaang!!!"
We all flinch at the sound of a loud crash coming from the kitchen backdoor.
"Wh-at was that" Lexi asked stuttering, her voice laced with fear.
"Calm down babe, you just sit here, we'll go check it out okay?". Diontè spoke reassuring his girlfriend that everything would be fine.
"C'mon boys, let's go check where that loud sound came from"
Diontè spoke directing his words at us.
We all follow suit, filing behind Diontè...as he turns the door knob, we hear fading footsteps on the ground.
"Asha?....Asha!!?....c'mon man if it's you, you can quit now, this isn't funny anymore". I say, undoubtedly shocked at how my how scared my voice sounded, almost like a whimper.
"Wow man, you sound spooked" Diontè spoke and i could almost sense the grin in his words.
"He's a mummy's boy, it ha-"
"Baaaaaaaang!!!!" This time another crash was heard from outside, cutting Dylan short before he could complete his sentence.
"What the actual fuck was that?" Chris asked fear written all over his face.
"Only one way to find out" Diontè spoke turning the doorknob and opening the door.
We were first greeted with a chilling early morning breeze, followed by the smell of wet grass,the inky velvet sky clothing us in darkness.

Some few yards away from us we could hear whimpering, we rushed over only to find a bizarre scene. Asha had been stabbed , the shirt he wore looked like it had been soaked in a bucket of blood and his hair was all messy and moist. My friend was dying!!!
"He-lp me ple-eaase i don't wanna  d-ie" he said, his eyes wide with fear and shock . Coughing he repeated his statement.
"You won't die, i won't let you" i said as i took off my hoodie, folding it and placing it on the stabbed part of his skin.
"Help me Carry him inside" i demand as a new sense of urgency envelopes me.
None of them moved, they just stood still and stared at me.
"Are you guys for real?....never mind, I'll do this, my self!!!!" I speak with anger as i lift Asha unto my shoulder which makes him cough a bit.
"You'll be fine buddy, i assure you" i say patting my friend's back as i carry him inside the house.
