Hey! Yo! Sup! Yeah... so, as I stated before, the chapters will be fairly shortish... which is odd for me because in my usual stories, my chapters exceed 1,000 words. But eh, can't get a lot in! Oh well. I've already written up to chapter four, believe it or not. So these should be coming out fairly quick.

Thank you for the reviews, favorites, and follows! Means a lot :)

...Right, so, enjoy! ~Stormy

When the doorbell rang, Neil was already on his feet. He slid across the floor, a grin on his face. "Who is it?" He called.

"Me, you moron." Eva's impatient growl made him hold back a laugh.

"I'm sorry, I don't know anyone named Me."

"Would you just hurry up? We need to start asap."

"Fine, fine." Neil swung the door open, standing before Eva Rosalene. He pushed his glasses up and followed her to the car. "You sure you don't want me to drive?"

"Positive." Eva opened the driver's seat and slid in. Neil slipped into the passenger seat and got comfortable. He slid back, resting his head.

"I hate all nighters." He sighed.

"Maybe we can get it over with before morning." Eva said, starting the car. She flipped her hair behind her shoulders and the car began to move.

"Do we know anything?" He asked tiredly, glancing at her.

"All we know is his name is Jack." She pulled onto the main road, keeping her eyes glued in front of her.

"I've always liked the name Jack." Neil commented, a thoughtful gaze following. He twiddled his fingers, glancing at Eva. She looked really pretty today. Her hair just fell perfectly on her shoulders, and her eyes were dazzling. She was beautiful. Neil folded his hands behind his head as casually as he could. "At least afterwards I don't have to pretend I actually slept." He observed, a smile splitting his face.

He turned as Eva did, and they locked eyes. "Got your coffee?" Eva asked.

Neil froze, and he cursed to himself. "Dang it! I knew I was forgetting something." He growled, running his fingers through his hair.

"Don't steal the coffee again." Eva laughed, turning the car.

"But I need it." He pouted, immitating a puppy dog face.

"Maybe if you ask nicely." Eva suggested, putting her hand on his shoulder. He froze under her touch, though it was temporary. She returned it to the wheel without a second thought, and his shoulders loosened. But the shock of her touch spread through his body, and he sighed happily. What could be better than going to his favorite job with his best friend?

The car turned another corner and he leaned with the gravity. He reclined the chair and attempted to get a few minutes of sleep in to prepare himself for the long night.

"You're coffee addiction is going to give you a heart attack one of these days." Eva spoke up, her fingers strumming the wheel.

Neil smiled in response. They turned another corner and he closed his eyes, letting the gentle motion of the car rock him to sleep.

His mind wandered to the painkillers. He couldn't keep it from his best friend forever. If he ever had a chance with Eva, she had to know. But, there would never be a good time, unfortunately.

Suddenly, there was a deep pain in his chest and he put his hand to it. He grimaced, his thoughts floating away in an instant.

"What?" Eva asked.

He stuttered, trying to say it was probably a heartburn, but he couldn't muster the words. He couldn't even breathe.

"Neil?" Eva questioned in worry.

He opened his mouth, suddenly desperate for air. His heart did a flip-flop in his chest, and wouldn't hold still. He had no control. He slipped forward, his head banging the dashboard. Darkness surrounded him, and the last thing he heard was Eva scream.
