I closed the chat room and looked up from my computer screen to see Mello sitting on his bed doing homework. Cole's right I have changed its because of him. I don't do almost anything by myself anymore.

I walked to my room as usual for lunch; I opened the door to see Mello lying on his bed with a bar of chocolate.

"What are you doing?"

"Eating what does it look like?" Of course we have the same lunchtime! I mentally groaned. He couldn't have one of the other times!

"Well shouldn't you be eating with friends?" I questioned him.

"With those posers? Not likely. What's with the third degree?"

"Nothing." I said surprised at his bluntness.

One thing that always bothered me though is he never remembered our encounter in the bathroom.

"What do you mean we met before?" Mello said calmly.

"On the day we were introduced we actually met in the bathroom earlier that day!" I said a little loud.

"I don't recall." Mello said looking thoughtfully to the air.

What a jerk. I thought as I glared at him. "What?" Mello said which pulled me out of my contemplation of killing him.

"Huh? Oh nothing. I was just thinking about Halloween."

"What are going to do?" he said narrowing his eyes.

"I'm going to watch scary movies. You want to watch them with me?" I said which made me involuntarily blush. What's wrong with me? Why am I acting like this?

"Sure." Mello said getting my attention away from my inner dilemma. "What movies are you getting?"

"I don't know. Cole always keeps it a surprise." Mello's eyes narrowed again.

"What?" I asked baffled.

"Nothing."

I'm so glad Halloween ended up on a Friday! We'll be able to watch movies all night! And sleep in tomorrow! I couldn't help but have optimistic thoughts as I walked to pick up my mail. I hope the dvds are here today, if they're not I'm screwed today is Halloween! Mello'll kick my ass if they're not!

I got to the window of the mail room and saw a pale woman with black hair wearing an all black outfit with a small name tag that said 'N. Misora' she smiled and said "First initial and last name please."

"M. Jeevas."

She rummaged around then said "Ah yes, you got a package today."

"Thanks!" I took the package from her hands.

"You're very welcome." She said. I nodded and walked back to my room, grinning.

I grabbed a pair of scissors and cut open the box. Mello walked into the room with a bowl of candy in his hands.

"Where did you get that?"

"Some girl gave it to me." He said as if it was normal to just get candy from people you don't know. Well it probably is for him.

I took out the dvds and looked through them to find the one with a '1' in the corner.

"What are those numbers for?" Mello asked.

"The scale of how scary they are. I think we should start with the lowest and end with the highest ranked."

"You really planed this out huh?"

"Well that's how I do it every year."

"You must really like scary movies."

"Actually no, I hate being scared."

"Really." Mello smirked.

"You're not going to try and scare me are you?"

"No I'll let the movies do that…and when they do I'll laugh my ass off!"

"Well looks like Black Christmas is the lowest one."

I grabbed my laptop and sat on my bed. I scooted up so I sat against my headboard.

"Sit next to me so we can both see." I smiled and patted the bed next to me coyly. Mello grunted but complied. I sat the laptop so it was on his right leg and my left. "Alright let the movies begin!" I said and inserted the disk.

At around four I could barely keep my eyes open, even though I was scared shit-less it was getting hard to keep them open, I kept almost dozing off. Then Mello finally said, "Alright Matt I think its time for you to go to sleep."

I turned to look at him with half lidded eyes "Huh what? I'm fine this movie isn't over yet." I pointed to the screen and yawned.

"It's been over for five minutes."

"Oh really?" I said and looked at the screen to see credits going by.

"Alright." Mello said and got up stretched quickly. He moved the, now empty, candy bowl to his dresser and moved my laptop to my dresser. He grabbed the goggles on top of my head and ripped them off.

"Ow! You pulled out my hair!" I yelped.

"Shut up and go to sleep."

"You don't need to tell me again." I scooted down and curled up and drifted off to sleep.

It was a sunny day, I looked around at the trees next to the sidewalk I was on.

"Aren't they pretty Matt?"

I looked next to me to see a woman with reddish brown hair, the same as mine, she was wearing an all white summer dress, I couldn't see her face but for some reason I knew she was smiling at me. "Yeah!" grinned

But it suddenly went it went dark, no black, I looked around me to find the women. Suddenly it was like a spot light down on me. Before me, on the ground was a bloody hand. Then another spotlight was on a body, it was the lady. What happened? I looked around. What did this? I felt something warm sliding down my hands. I looked to see blood on my hands. I could feel myself start to shake and tears run down my face.

I sprang up and was about to late a shriek out but something held on to my face and wouldn't let me. I opened my eyes to see Mello sitting on my bed and his hand around my mouth. He let go but I couldn't hold myself up and fell forward on to his shoulder. I was gasping for air as Mello started "Matt," I could feel him moving his other arm as he took a pause. I can't move, he's probably going to push me away. But he didn't, he started to rub my back. "What are you trying to do wake the dead?" We sat like that for a few minutes.

Suddenly I felt something in my stomach start to boil. Oh Shit! I jumped out of his arms with a sudden burst of energy and I'm not sure if I imagined it or if I was just tired but it looked like Mello was hurt. I ran into our half bathroom (It just has a toilet and sink no shower) and as soon as I got over the toilet I felt the burn in the back of throat as the vomit ran out. I collapsed there on the ground next to the toilet panting again. Mello walked in, moved me on my back and felt my forehead.

"You're burning up, Matt." He got his arms under me and picked me up with ease and walked me back into our room and dropped me on my bed. He got the garbage can from the corner of the room and brought it the side of my bed. "Lay on your side in case you have to throw up again, I don't want a dead roommate."

I tried to say "Thanks" but I'm not sure if it came out at all and if did, if he could even hear me. My eyes couldn't stay open any longer though, and they closed.

I woke up the next day and looked at my clock and read the time. 12:17? Jeez I must have been tired. I sat up to see Mello sitting on his bed reading a book. Without looking up he said, "How do you feel?"

Feel? Oh yeah! I fell back on to my bed as a few memories of the night before hit me. "How come only I got sick!" I wined curling up into a ball and turned to face him.

"Probably all that candy you ate." He said matter-of-factly.

"You ate more then I did!" I frowned at him.

"Yeah but I eat candy everyday."

A few minutes past then I remembered something. "Hey Mello last night, why were you sitting on my bed?"

"Oh um well I stayed up a little longer after you fell asleep. I was about to go to sleep when I noticed you were whimpering. I guessed you were going to scream when you started to shake. What were you dreaming about?"

"I-I can't remember. I hate when this happens!"

"Well it was probably a bad mix of to much candy and scary movies." Mello said nodding at his own conclusion. "Maybe you should clean yourself up before you start to smell…worse."

I smelled myself really quick "Ew, heh I guess you're right." I got up from my bed a little unsteadily at first. I grabbed the first shirt and pants I saw that were mine, and of course my goggles. I walked to the bathroom and all the while as I changed I tried to remember more of what happened last night when I woke up from the dream and the dream itself.

As I brushed my teeth bits and pieces started to come together but I was still missing a chunk from what happened when Mello said "Matt," to when I threw up and the entire dream. I wonder if I'll ever remember what happened.

I walked back in to the room to see Mello still sitting on his bed with the book open.

"Oh and thank you Mello." No response. "Mello?" I walked over to him to see he was asleep, breathing easily. I lifted my goggles up to get a better look at him and noticed for the first time he had dark rings around his eyes. Did he stay up all night? Was he worried about me? The thought made my insides flutter.
