In A Different Light

The Sleepover Part II

At this exact moment, Joan came to realization with something. She was the third wheel.

Bill started blushing and smiling, but tried to hide it. It was too late. He was staring right at her and she could probably see it. His heart started pounding and he eventually forgot Joan was there. He had this weird feeling in his gut and was scared to speak, not knowing what would come out of his mouth. Bill did what he could only think of and he leaned over and kissed Beverly. Once he departed their lips, he backed his head away slowly, mouth barely open out of surprise. He eventually closed his mouth, closed his eyes and thought to himself, "What did I just do?"

As Bill kissed her, Beverly had butterflies in her stomach. When he moved his lips away, in her head she was surprised that he did it and she really liked it. She looked at Bill, blushing uncontrollably and kissed him back and hugged him. She chuckled nervously after she did so.

Joan smiled as the two shared their moment and she refrained herself from ruining it by making the smallest of sounds or movements.

Beverly grabbed the wine bottle and filled her glass back up. She turned to Joan and asked her, holding the bottle, “You need a fill up?”

Joan shook her head. "I think I'm good for right now, but thanks, anyways. I'm probably gonna head inside soon."

Beverly put the bottle of wine down as Joan answered her. “Oh, okay.”

A few minutes went by and Beverly had to go to the bathroom. “Guys, I’ll be right back. I gotta go to the bathroom.” She took a sip of her glass and set it down then got up and walked to the ladder and started going down. She got down to the ground and walked into the garage then walked inside.

Joan waited until Beverly was gone to face Bill with a somewhat smug look on her face.

Bill watched as Beverly got up and went down the ladder. He then looked over and saw Joan making a face at him and he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "What?"

Joan grinned and started poking Bill's arm. "You like her!!!"

Bill rolled his eyes, but he couldn't deny it now. Especially not after that moment they shared in front of her. "Uh--yeah..."

{As Beverly walked into Bill’s house, she walked upstairs to the bathroom and walked in. She walked to the toilet and did her business; she felt better. As she flushed the toilet, she heard some voices coming from the sink.

“Beverly, Beverly. Help me, please. We've all been waiting to meet you.” As she walked over to the sink, she heard her name again. “Beverly.” This time, in a males voice.}

Joan sighed and got up. "Well, I believe my work here is done."

Bill watched as Joan got up and guessed she was going to go in. He thought he should go inside, as well, since it's getting a little late. Bill got up and grabbed his and Joans glass and the wine bottle, then walked towards the ladder.

{As Beverly approached the sink, a few voices said, “We all float down here.” She leaned in, looking inside the drain saying, “Hello? Who are you?”

A female voice said, “I’m Veronica.” Another female voice added and said, “Betty Ripsom.” Then a male voice added, “Patrick Hockstetter.” All of the voices started saying, “Come closer! We wanna see you. We float and we've changed."}

Joan grabbed what she could before she started climbing down the ladder, eventually reaching the ground.

{Beverly grabbed the plunger and pushed it down into the drain. She heard a weird sound when it was in and she pulled it out, seeing blood and a black string on the end. The black string attached itself to her wrist. She let go of the plunger as the black string started wrapping all around her body. She started panicking. "What the fuck!?”
