1996

You had issues with parents- all that jazz. It was the usual for you to crash at your friend’s place when things got messy. The only difference is all your closest friend was out on vacation, and going to her house would be breaking an entry.

Good thing is, Randy has been your pal for a while now. When you started working at the video store, the two of you formed a friendship almost immediately. You guys weren’t inseparable or anything, but he was a good friend you could rely on. He wouldn’t mind you crashing at his place, right?

It was a brisk October night, and you had successfully climbed to Randy’s window despite his room being on the second floor. Then, like you always did, you snapped off his window lock- opening the window.

Randy had been organizing a shelf with movie taps and figurines until he suddenly whipped around, letting out a girly shriek once he saw you.

“ACK! Dude, what are you doing?”

He said, his face was full of panic and concern. You could almost hear his heart beating a million miles a minute.
