A loud noise outside managed to wake Damon up from his deep sleep. Looking around lazily to find out what caused his awaking, it took him a few seconds to realize. A light flashed behind his curtains followed by a reverberating thunder that made the entire apartment tremble. The sound of rain droplets hitting hard against his windows was also a reason as to why he had woken up.
Yawning and rubbing his eyes, Damon closed his eyes again and rolled over to his side, his hand blindly searching for a body that wasn't there. Opening his eyes again just as another lightning struck across the sky, the boy reached for his phone on the bedside table, checking the time. It was half past two in the morning. Sighing, he stared at his window where the faint flash of another lightning behind the curtains. He didn't want to get up – of course he didn't –, but the sight of his background picture on his phone made up his mind. Emily was scared of this weather and she was alone.
Quickly changing into jeans, Damon shoved his wallet inside his back pocket as he found his car keys. He grabbed his messager bag which had a spare key to Emily's apartment and a spare change of clothing, put on some shoes, putting on his leather jacket he walked out of the door. He ran down the stairs and got into his car he drove over to Emily's apartment once he got to her driveway he parked his car and took a deep breath before opening the door and sprinting out of the car. The time it took him to open the door was enough to soak him completely and by the time he reached the front door Damon was shivering with cold.
As his slippery fingers tried to find the right key to Emily's door, another thunder echoed. Emily's apartment was dark and cold because she just moved into her own apartment when he walked in; the rain on the windows was very loud. Frowning, Damon dropped his bag on the counter and took off his wet shoes and then his wet socks. He winced all the way up the stairs to Emily's room, his cold feet making contact with the even colder wood floors. The door to her room was shut closed and for a moment he wondered if she was even awake. It was only when he turned the knob that he understood the silence.
