Dreams
It was a dark night, there was an abandoned house in the woods. Me and Jeffery would always go there when we were bored, and we wanted something to do. It was our happy place. It was a nice house, although it may have been damaged it seemed like the right place to be in. Besides me and Jeff always liked to come out here when it was night time, we'd never sleep.I would always get tired and he would say go to sleep. But I would always say no to him. This time was different though, he wanted to sleep and I let him by repeating his words "Go to sleep." While he slept I went to go walk around outside. I took the trail we take to get there. I heard rustling in the woods but shook it off as nothing.
Once I had finished walking I walked back to the house. The last thing I remember was the house on fire and all I could do was stare.

I woke up and I was in a cold sweat. I haven't seen Jeff since that one night, he'd suddenly disappeared. I heard he killed his family, I heard he looks different, and I heard that his voice has changed. I heard that he had changed in general. And sometimes I feel like it's all my fault. I feel like he changed because I had left that one night. I can't imagine what it felt like when he woke up, in the fire. His face melted and his eyes watering. Wondering why I wasn't there. Must of felt like hell on earth.
I shrugged the dreams off and began to cry. I didn't mean for him to get hurt, I didn't know kids were after him. I didn't know he had bullies, I should've watched him more carefully. It's all my fault.
I began to cry even harder, but soon cried myself to sleep.
