The Colours of Fall

Chapter 2

(Tyler above) Tyler seemed to be a nice guy. He offered to take her home even thought he didn't have to. He just asked for her to tell him where to turn or asked her to give him the address.

Ellie knew she shouldn't be in some random persons car, but she really didn't care right now. At this point, he could ask for her phone number and she'd give it. Half asleep even thought it was still evening, he ended up asking for her phone number, and she gave it!

Tyler reached over to turn on the radio. He flipped through the stations till landing on country.

Ellie froze. Shakily, she got up and changed it to the Beach Boys. Tyler glanced at her, "hey, my wheels, my music." He switched it back. "Please just anything but country." She begged in a quiet voice, not keeping her eyes off the road. He looked over at her again this time looking a little concerned. "Alright." He switched it to some Guns 'n' roses and they road to Ellie's house in silence.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Right here." Tyler turned into the neighborhood Ellie had pointed out where her house was. He stopped the car in front of her drive way and said, "Well it was nice meeting you darlin'. Have a nice rest of your day."

"You too. And... Thanks for the ride."
"Anytime." He finished with one last smile on his face. When Ellie got into her room and picked up her phone (which she had for some reason stupidly left at home) and saw she had a text. Interesting. It was from her old friend Jenelle. It said,

hey, I was just wondering how you were doing and thought I should invite you to go to knotts scary farm with us. If you would like to go I trust you remember where mine and joshes house is. Saturday 10:00. I understand after what happened if you don't want to come. But just to let you know, I forgive you Ellie. And I'm sorry for what I've done.
Your friend, Jenelle

Wow. Wow. That was unexpected. Sunday was the day after tomorrow. Ellie knew if she went it would totally ruin her reputation for biggest introvert of the century. But maybe it was time for something new. Like a change in her season.

Ellie fell asleep thinking about all the images on her camera that she had lost today. All the images that tonight she would be dreaming about.

Dream:

Ellie was in the passenger seat, country music playing full blast with the windows rolled down, screaming the lerics to the song at the top of her lungs, her mom doing the same next to her. They laughed between the brake when the song was over and waited for the next to come on. Ellie looked over at the mirror next to her. She saw a man with dark blue eyes. He stared right back at her. Never blinking.

Wake up!

Beep. Beep. Beep. Ellie slammed her hand on her alarm clock, Not at all ready for the day. But she didn't really have a choice in the matter. No body did.
