You wake to the sound of your phone buzzing from under your pillow. It takes a moment for you to realize what has woken you, but you groggily roll over onto you stomach to check the time on said phone.
3:42 A.M.
Who would be attempting to talk to you at this time of the night (or would it be considered morning at this point?)? You decide to have a look, but you have a suspicion that it's probably just a Facebook email or something equally unimportant.
To your surprise it is a text from your dearest friend's brother, Matthew.
Hey, um, I realize it's kind of extremely early (or late?), but Al just remembered that he has this new computer game and he refuses to play it without you here. I also realize it's kind of weird that I'm the one telling you, but he was afraid that you might be angry if he called you at this time. So, yeah..wanna come over..? I think it's also a horror/thriller themed game so he needs the "emotional support" so our presence has been requested..
It seems like a pretty ridiculous offer, but you decide not to pass it up nonetheless. You quickly type back an answer.
Sounds fun. I'll be over in a bit. Also, tell your dumb brother that he shouldn't make you do the dirty work~.
You slide out of bed and onto the floor, and for a moment you lay there allowing your body to wake up. Getting up, you throw a pair of pants into your suitcase along with a hairbrush and toothbrush. Deciding that you have everything necessary for the morning you make your way outside to your car. Before you even have a chance to start the thing, you hear your phone vibrate in your bag. You pull it out to reveal that both Matthew and Alfred have been furiously texting you.
Alfred:
Sorry i was afraid to text you but thanks for coming over on such short notice
Wait...arent you night blind

Matthew:

Al says to answer your phone.
(Name) I would feel better if you didn't drive over here if you can't see. Al is freaking out.
Please answer your phone..
You rush to reply to the brothers before they do anything extreme.
To: Alfred:
Easy, dude. No need to panic. I'm on a medication that helps. I promise I'm fine and I'll be over in less than ten minutes.
To: Matthew:
Sorry to cause any trouble/panic, but I'm okay and I'll be there soon.
With no more interruptions you drive yourself to their house, which is only about fifteen minutes away. Your driving habits manage to help shave off approximately five minutes of said drive.
You let yourself into their house with a spare key upon your arrival and make your way into the media room at the end of the hall.
Okay I'm not sure where this was going I fell asleep writing this and now I don't really want to finish it so yeah. For whatever reason it started kind of strong but yeah. I'm not feeling it with this one.
