Charlotte's Dream...

"Why on earth do you boys watch this?" Amy asked, I was sat on the couch with her, Charlie and Evil watching Fright Night, well they were both watching intently while me and Amy sat here bored "Are you kidding? This guy's awesome" Charlie exclaimed, I rolled my eyes "I think you have a very serious vampire obsession" I said watching them, they both faced me and Amy "We are not obsessed, we just like the show" Charlie said drinking some more of his soda, Amy gave me a creeped out look and I shrugged "You guys know vampires aren't real right?" I asked hopefully, they both rolled their eyes "Yes Cj we know they don't exist" Evil replied slightly irritated, I nodded "Thank god for that" Amy muttered, I chuckled...

End Dream...

My eyes shot open and I gasped, I remembered what had happened last night down to the last detail, I sat up and realised I was in my room with Ash lying down next to me, so that must've meant I was dreaming again, I didn't know why I was having flashbacks and dreams but I think it had something to with the fact of me being home again, everything was flooding back but at least I wasn't completely losing it this time,

I looked down at Ash who appeared to be sleeping and I slowly climbed out of bed not wanting to wake him, I left the bedroom and checked mom's room to see if she did come home "Mom?" I whispered opening the door, she was there underneath the sheets snoring slightly, I giggled to myself and closed her door before going downstairs,

I grabbed a soda from the fridge but wasn't that hungry today, I sat down on the couch and turned the news on "...Another body was found last night but this time in an' alleyway, police have closed up the alley for investigation but there are no suspects to the murder, the victim's name was Josh Williams and like the other victims he also had a slit throat, police say it is the same killer" They put a photo of the guy up on the T.V and I actually recognized him from High School,

it was as though all the douche bags from my school were being killed off one by one, not that I cared much, it was only a matter of time before someone got them for all the bullying they did, I heard someone coming down the stairs and I was jumped on by Ash "Morning" I said petting him, he licked my cheek and neck repeatedly causing me to laugh from the ticklish feeling

"C'mon boy get down" I said through laughs, he stopped the licking and settled on lying down next to me while I stroked his belly "Charlotte" Mom called from upstairs, I climbed over Ash and jogged upstairs to her room, she was still lying in bed only with her eyes open "Yup?" I asked, she sighed "I have a headache can you grab me some painkillers from downstairs please?"

she asked, I nodded "Yeah wait here" I replied leaving the room, I grabbed two pills and a glass of water before taking them back upstairs to her "Thanks sweety"she said sitting up, she threw the pills into her mouth and swallowed them down with some water "How was your date last night?" I asked curiously, she smiled shrugged "It was good, were going out again tonight"

she said, I chuckled "Not if you still got that headache" I said, she nodded "Maybe the pills will kick in soon, I should get some sleep Charlotte, I'm working again at 3:00 tomorrow morning" she said laying back down, my eyes widened "Mom you can't seriously be going on a date at 6:00 and then working at 3:00 you won't be sleeping at all" I exclaimed

"That's why I'm resting now Charlotte, wake me up at 5:00 would you?" she asked, she instantely fell asleep and I rolled my eyes while going back downstairs "She is insane" I muttered falling down onto the couch, Ash rested his head on my chest and I looked down at him "What to do today" I said more to myself, his tongue shot out and licked me on the nose,

I giggled and sat up "Oh my god I love you" I exclaimed scratching his tummy, he rolled over and his tail started moving back on forth "I don't know what I'd do without you Ash" I admitted quietly, I didn't know why I said it, but partly because it was true,

I knew I was only clinging to Ash because I missed Evil but I didn't care, I loved this dog more than' anything, Ash whined and nudged me with his nose, I smiled and petted his head "You'll never leave me will you boy?" I asked, he licked my cheek and I giggled.

At The Diner...

It was 2:00 and I only had to work until 4:00, they were closing down early because of the killings and apparently this town had become very dead anyway, so no one came here as much as before "Here" Amy said handing me the apron and name tag, I put it on and we sat behind the counter "Is it always this empty?" I asked looking around the diner, she nodded

"Pretty much, no one comes here as much as they used too, don't know why I mean this was our favourite place to me" she said, I nodded "We did have some good times here" I said in thought "Yeah, just me, you, Charlie and Evil" she said also in thought, I sighed "I'm sorry Charlotte" she said realising, I shook my head "No it's okay, I haven't been able to speak to someone who knew him as well as me in a while" I said shrugging, she nodded

"His mom always speaks to my mom and yours, they meet up to play poker still and I overhear them talking about it, not all the time but sometimes" she admitted, I nodded "I haven't seen his mom in a long time" I said "She was awesome, I remember she always spoke her mind and it cracked us up" Amy said, I smiled "Yeah, remember when she was talking about sex and Evil got really annoyed?"

I asked, Amy laughed "Yeah that was a funny day...she's changed though. She doesn't crack jokes anymore and we rarely see her smile" she said, I nodded and sighed "Everyone changed" I said, she nodded and it all fell silent.
