No one's POV

Zander was spending the night at Jake's house, and the two of them were just getting ready for bed. Jake would be sleeping in his own room, and Zander would be sleeping in the guest room. However, there was one issue with that

The guest room didn't have any lights except the super bright light ceiling fan light. There was a bedside table, but no lamp on it. So there couldn't be any lights on if anyone was sleeping in there

And the problem with that, was that Zander was absolutely terrified of the dark

Of course, Jake didn't know this. No one really did. And Zander wasn't gonna up and share this with Jake. He was too embarrassed to do so

"You ready to go, Zander?" Jake asked as he peeked into the bathroom, where Zander was busy finishing brushing his teeth

Zander nodded, closing the plastic cover that he had over the head of his toothbrush. "Yep, I'm good.." he said as he turned off the sink

Zander turned off the bathroom light, then the two of them headed to the guest room. Zander placed his phone on the bedside table and plugged it in

"If you need anything, I'm right down the hall!" Jake smiled. Zander nodded as he sat on the bed

"Sleep well, Zander! See you in the morning!"

"Kay...night, Jake..." Zander said with a small nod. Jake turned off the lights and closed the door

Zander anxiously stared at the thin glowing light coming from the crack under the door. That small amount of light wasn't really enough to steady his nerves

After a little bit, that light under the door disappeared. Meaning Jake had probably gone to bed too, and he'd turned off the hallway light

Zander sighed. He could go and turn on the hall light, then open the door a crack. But he didn't wanna wake Jake, or explain why at any point. Maybe he could just....suffice for the night?

Eventually, the sleepiness caught up to Zander. He fell back onto the bed and closed his eyes, drifting off to sleep

---

At about 2:30 in the morning, Zander woke up terrified. He looked around the room in a panic. The darkness of the bedroom made him more terrified though

Zander slowly got up out of bed, and grabbed his stuffed dog plush that he had brought with him. He held it tight in his arms, then slowly headed toward the door. Very slowly, he opened the door and looked down the hall. He knew which room was Jake's, but it was at the other end of the hall. The long, dark hall

"....c-come on, Zander..." he said softly to himself "d-don't....be a baby...you can get there, a-and it'll be over with..."

Zander placed one hand on the wall, still clutching his plush with the other, and slowly walked down the hall. There was a slight scratching sound from outside as a tree branch hit pretty hard against a window in the kitchen downstairs. Zander flinched, then froze on the spot, still tightly holding his stuffed dog. He shut his eyes tightly as he stood there for a few seconds, his whole body shaking violently
