Evelyn Mae has been through more than any one person her age should. Her mother left her and her father when she was only 13. Her father starts to despise her and that leaves her hopeless and unloved. Meanwhile, a haunting experience leaves her terr...
It's currently 1 A.M. The night terrors have been getting worse, but tonight they are unbearable. I'm now too afraid to go to sleep even though I am exhausted in every sense of the word. Having sleep paralysis doesn't help either. I couldn't differentiate what was real and what was a dream. So here I lay, awake but having trouble keeping my eyes open. It's hardly working so therefore I decide to go for a drive. Being tired and driving? Yes, not my brightest decision but hey, at least I can wake up from the fresh air and go get some coffee. I pack my bag with my laptop, wallet, notebook, and some pencils and pens then head downstairs to my car. I can tell that my dad hasn't come home yet, and I am honestly very grateful. Who knows what would happen and how drunk he would be. I finally reach my car and decide to go to the nearest 24-hour shop called Loretta's Diner. I have never been there personally but that is Alicia's favorite place, so it must be good.
Arriving, at the diner, I can tell there are few people inside based on the lack of cars in the parking lot. Well duh, it is 1 in the morning after all, something I seem to keep forgetting. Walking up to the entrance, there is a chime that occurs when I open the door, but I find It very pleasant. This is short lived when I notice who exactly is in this diner.
Staring at me is non-other than Dylan and his 'gang'. I doubt they're an actual gang but like I said, people love to be entertained and that means coming up with stupid rumors. Dylan is situated behind the counter, while his 3 friends are in front of it. Just my luck isn't it? Honestly though, I am not in the mood to deal with these four, but I do wonder why they are here so late. I know its none of my business, but I am a curious person. Shrugging it off, I walk right past them and take a seat in a booth by the window. I can hear Dylan and his friends start to whisper but I pay no mind to them. I start drawing my latest sketch when I feel a presence beside me.
"What can I get you?"
Even though I knew he was there, I slightly jump and look up towards Dylan.
"Excuse me?"
"Are you stupid? I asked what you wanted priss."
Being too tired to care about his attitude, I remain staring at him with a blank expression and then go back to my drawing.
"Double double coffee please. Large."
Dylan stays standing there for a few seconds before finally leaving. At this point, they could be yelling at me or throwing things at my head and I wouldn't care. I think all this lack of sleep is making me crazier than I already am. Suddenly, the large coffee is gently placed in front of me and I automatically take a few gulps despite the scorching temperature.
"Thanks."
I start to draw again but feel unnerved because Dylan is once again just standing beside me. Then suddenly Dylan's 3 friends sit across from me and I am now surrounded by all of them. I don't pay any mind to them though and just continue working on my drawing. After 5 whole minutes of silence, I can't take the unnerving feeling anymore. With a loud sigh I place down my pencil, looking up at them before speaking.
