Chapter 1:

The windows rattled from the harsh rain outside which added to the (already) creepy atmosphere, the drawings that were taped on the wall started flying off and flew everywhere in the pizzeria until it found its way to the office. And in the office, of course, is a frantic night guard. He was in his fourth night. As you may know, it is rather stressful. Animatronics moving everywhere and hallucinations getting to you more often in the first three nights. Speaking of which...

A sinister laugh came from the vents.

"C-Calm down th-that was only balloon boy.."

Jeremy Fitzgerald, an 18 year-old who was working at the pizzeria for his night shift of watching over the animatronics. He doesn't really hate his job (surprisingly) but he just says that it can be nervewrecking sometimes. Like when Bonnie almost got his face the other night, or when Foxy kept appearing in the hallway and Jeremy had to call Mike over to help him out...

Yeah, that kind of nervewrecking.

Jeremy sat on his chair to calm down and grabbed the small ipad-like screen that was on his hands so that he can monitor everything in the pizzeria.

"O-Okay..uhh.." He stuttered when he looked at the cameras, "The r-rest in the Parts & Service r-room are quiet..uhm, wh-what's that..? Oh that's just..Toy Chica..Uhm..Music Box!"

He swiftly took his eyes off of the screen and winded up the music box until it was fully winded.

Yes, he actually had time to wind that up all the way.

The brunette boy quickly checked the time: 4:00am. Just a little more can do..but then he heard something crawl into his office-
"A-AAH, NO NO"
Jeremy blurted that out and swiftly put on the Freddy Fazbear head. Radio noises were heard in the room. Really loud radio noises. He looked around and saw that the Mangle was clinging on one of the light fixtures on the ceiling.
"GO AWAAAAY" Jeremy whispered to the animatronic, it seemed to just tilt its head at him. Even if it looked ripped and torn to shreds by the hands of children. It made an odd radio noise that wasn't like the others. It couldn't be heard very well but Jeremy heard Mangle say a word.
"Arm"

Arm?

The Mangle got out of the office to go back to it's original position, leaving the frantic night guard confused. Sure, one of his favorite animatronics was The Mangle (The other being Toy Chica) but of course, all were scary.
Suddenly, Jeremy remembered something. He rolled up his sleeves to see marks of his self mutilations. He thought that Mangle must've noticed them and wanted to point that out. It looked like he's been in a fight with a cat.
He self-mutilated because he lives in an abusive household and only Mike, Scott, Chris, Fritz and Vincent ever seemed to care about him.

Not even a girl..heh. Most girls in his high school hated him for some reason. Maybe those 'cuts' on his arms? The fact that he nearly was the reason why his group failed at a project and thought he was dumb?

That's why he's questioning his own sexuality now.
He liked Mike well..more than a friend at one point but he got over it. Some of the dudes shipped him with Mike too! It was slightly embarrassing, knowing the fact that Mike was dating a nice girl named Doll.

Wait wait-Back to the shift..When did Jeremy start thinking of his past?

Well, it was no use since it already became 6AM. He breathed out a sigh of relief and was glad to know he'd live another day. Or was he?
He'd have to go back to that infernal household where his parents keep fighting and him always being beat up by his father..Sigh..
His mother saying words to him that hurt his feeling as much as it hurts to cut himself...

Jeremy sighed once more and stood up from his chair, he was depressed thinking about last night. Where his mother called him a 'Lazy slob' and grounded him in his room.
He walked around the pizzeria, waiting for Mike to arrive so that Jeremy can give the keys to the place and go home. Jeremy looked around in the pizzeria, making sure everything was in its place, leaving no trace of what happened last night, until he bumped into someone.

"Oh H-Hey, I-I'm really sorry I-"
Jeremy stuttered and looked up, he seemed to have bumped into Mike. Eheh, among all people to bump into...Mike.
"Yo" He greeted "Well someone seems stressed on their fourth night" Mike chuckled and ruffled his friend's hair. Making him mumble something. Mike did act like a father to Jeremy.
The father Jeremy always wanted to have..
"W-Well..what'd you expect?" Jeremy asked, a bit jittery. He hasn't worn off since a few minutes ago. Scary stuff.

"Maybe it's something you need to expect, buddy" Mike said "We're getting a new person here since Fritz was fired a while back. And guess what?"
Jeremy tilted his head slightly "What?"
"It's a giiiiiiiiiiirl" Mike raised his eyebrows while rolling his tongue.
"Mike, p-please don't say that as if a new baby was b-born" Jeremy smiled slightly. "And no, I'm not looking for a relationship at the moment. I want to save up for college and all that." As he explained, Mike heard someone enter through the door.

She had dark-brown hair and emerald-green eyes but she had braces and glasses, which was a rare sight to see these days, wearing the uniform the same as Jeremy but she had a skirt that was Navy blue. And on her shirt pocket was a name tag "Ivy"

"Cool" She mumbled to herself, not noticing the boys at the other side of the room. "Ooh, No wonder why my little brothers love this place.."
Jeremy seemed to turn red at the sight of the girl. Well, mainly because he hasn't seen a girl (aside from his mother) in a long while.

Mike nudged Jeremy by the hip and winked. Making Jeremy a bit more flustered than he already is.
He leaned in to whisper in the boy's ear "You dig her?" which made him jump up since Ivy was approaching the two already.
"Oh Hey! You must be the guards working here already?" She asked, a bit cheerfully, since it was her first day on day-shift.
Of course, she'd have to go on night shift as well..someday..
Mike coughed and introduced himself "Yep, We're the guards here and I'm Mike. And this is Jeremy"

Jeremy seemed a little lost in her eyes.

"O-oh, Uh, Hi!"
Mike laughed at his nervousness while Ivy seemed to grin at him. Well, this is a start of a good friendship..
