Hi guys, it's been a while! This is something I came up with a few days ago, and I've just begun working on it. I hope you guys like it.
Sam's POV-
I sat on the top of my roof, trying to look at the stars. The lights from city always made it hard to spot them, but I found that if you looked hard enough, you could pick out of few.
The cold winter air chilled me down to my bones, but I couldn't find it in myself to feel it. Nor would I feel the warmth of the Spring or the Summer, the crisp of the Fall. All the seasons, all the days had become dead to me.
This town had also become as such.
Amity Park was haunted for me. It had been for months now.
My life since that day had become a cycle of nothing. Nothing but sadness and hurting, and nowhere could I find any comfort.
I wrapped myself in the small blanket I held around myself, not that it shielded me any better from the cold.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven," I could hear people counting down to the New Year in the distance.
I couldn't help it as tears welded up in my eyes as they reached their New Year.
"ONE!"
The sky around me lit up with fireworks. The roaring crackles were probably the only thing that could have broken through to me.
I knew people were celebrating and laughing and kissing, their hopes for this New Year high.
Every house as far as I could see was lit up like a Christmas tree, every house but one. Fenton Works was dark, just as it had been since they moved away a month before.
I looked the opposite way to see Tucker's home glowing, but with a new family inside of it. The Foley family had also left this town behind after that day.
Maybe I should have too, but something about this place compelled me to stay. Maybe it was because it was familiar.
Maybe it was because my life, whatever my life was, was here.
Maybe it was because it was the only place that held traces, memories, of the life I used to live.
A life with my best friend.
One huge burst of light lit the entire city, and I found my eyes back on the Fenton's old home.
I slowly stood up, making my way towards the fire escape.
"Happy New Year, Danny," I breathed as I began my descent.
