When Darkness Falls

Another one?

Phil and Shaun had left like an hour ago. Not sure how I even lasted that long, but after awhile I finally decide I need to get out. Phil is at the store and Shaun is at work, and I'm just, well, here. Come to think of it, I really should get a job! That'd be such a good idea how have I never thought of it before? I'll have to talk to Phil about it when he gets home.

Speaking of when Phil gets home.

Blush immediately flushes across my cheeks as I reacall our heated moment this morning. We were so close to actually doing something, but of course it got ruined. I guess there's always tonight.

With that I sling my legs over the bed and check myself in the mirror. Its become a pretty big habit to do that now. Usually I don't really care what my hair looks like as long as its sort of straight, and I don't really care about if my outfit looks presentable as long as I like it. Lately, though, I've been checking it a lot. I mean, I can't walk around looking like shit if I want Phil to still like me right? Then again, he's seen me with my horrible hobbit hair and almost no clothes and still looks at me the same..

I stare at my own reflection in the full length mirror on the wall in my room. Black skinny jeans, of course, and a black jumper. That's good right? I guess it'll have to do because I'm entirely too lazy to change. Instead I just walk right back over to the bed and slip on some shoes and then head down stairs.

It doesn't take long for me to speed into town. Not too many people are out considering most of them are probably at work. Some teenagers litter the streets probably talking about how they have to go back to school tomorrow. Hah. I could go to school, but I'm entirely too happy with staying home and doing nothing but either talk to Phil or think of him while he's gone. Or eat. Eating is good too.

Phil was probably almost home by now, but there were some things I wanted to pick up that I didn't tell him to get. First off are some good scary movies, then some candy, and I'm pretty sure he already has food, so I guess that's all I really need.

I mentally make a list in my head of all of those things, repeating them over and over to be sure I don't forget. I'm almost to the store when I see a group of people about Phil's age gathered around the enterance of the store.They're all looking at eachother and chuckling and laughing and making jokes, and I can't help but smile a little. I only had two or so good friends during my human life, but I have to admit I really do miss them.

Whatever I guess.

With a shrug, I step past the group and wall I to the store. I quickly gather up all of the items I need and head to check out. When I get to the counter, I am barely able to keep all of the items from falling everywhere. The bag of chocolate nearly crashes on the floor before the cashier guy catches it.

"Oh thanks." I breathe thankfully as I run a hand through my hair and look up to thank the guy. I'm immediately met with bright blue eyes beaming up at me. The guys, obviously dyed, blonde hair is done up in a perfect quiff and thick rimmed glasses lay on his pale face. He's super cute and short actually.

"I don't think whoever you're buying all this for would appreciate broken chocolates!" The guy says with a crazy cackle like laugh following. I have to do a complete double take at that. What a peculiar laugh. "I'm Tyler by the way." He says with a big smile as he rings up my items.

I'm not usually for talking to random people, but something about this Tyler guy is just totally magnetizing. He's just got such a bubbly personality and he doesn't even know me.

With a reflecting smile on my face I give a slight chuckle. "No I don't think he'd enjoy me breaking his favorite candy at all." Before I can even think of what I'm saying, it just comes out. The thought that some people can be extremely homophobic in small towns just completely blew over my mind for some reason. Great. Look forward to being banned from a grocery store, Dan. Good job.
