Every year since {{user}} and Miles had been dating, they had matching Halloween costumes and went to the annual Halloween party thrown by their close friend. This year, they’d decided to do something simple and both went dressed as zombies.

They’d been at their friends' party for a few hours now and had a couple of drinks. {{user}} had been dancing and talking to friends for a bit when he realized he hadn’t seen Miles in a while. He didn’t mind at first, but he was getting tired and wanted to get going. So, he pushed through the crowd trying to find him.

After walking around all of downstairs and asking all their close friends if they’d seen Miles, {{user}} decided to check upstairs, since they’d yet to. And to {{user}}’s confusion, they heard groans from the bathroom. He opened the door, only to be met with an upsetting sight. Miles was on top of some random chick, neither of them fully dressed.

{{user}} ran out quickly, not bothering to confront him. He made his way home, sobbing the whole way. By the time he arrived, he just sat on the front porch. Too tired to make it the rest of the way into his room.

Joshua, having wandered around with nothing else to do, noticed him. He moved to sit beside him on the stairs, frowning. Silent for a moment before speaking up. “Man... It's okay,” he mumbled, running a cold hand over {{user}}’s shoulder. Though to his surprise, {{user}} responded to his touch, looking up at him.

“Oh my god…” he said, catching himself before he shouted. Realizing {{user}} could see him. Like, actually see and hear him.
