Bobby's POV))

When Tank left my house I just laid in bed. I laid there awake til 3 or 4 am. I can't remember honestly, but I woke up at 6 am and I continued to lay there up until 2 pm. I honestly can't tell if that's a really bad habit of mine or if that's normal. I've been on this routine ever since middle school where I just lay in bed. If it weren't for Tank coming over and cleaning up my room last night I would've been surrounded in a bunch of stuff around my bed and my desk etc. my floor would be covered in clothes and I would be sleeping on my bed with no bed sheets.

I don't really know if I was always just genuinely mentally ill but I feel like this might be a sign. I'll tell you a little fact about me, I have 2 cavities I still need to get filled and over 7 cavities all because I get too tired to really care about brushing my teeth. I do sometimes but I'm not on it always. Not only that but I don't spend time really going on my phone yet my screen time is over 12 hours a day, it's all because I play music to keep my mind distracted. I don't really think though I just doze off into this sort of space of nothingness.

Most days now have been spent like this all because of my meds. I can't explain to you how much I absolutely despise them. I don't even feel like I'm me anymore.

One thing that comforts me though is Gouda, she's my lil girly pop and I've been dressing her up with paper gnome hats and tutu's. She's a cutie patootie. I'm just happy she's also a cuddler too. It's nice to have her as my companion. Especially because everyone was so busy this winter break I haven't been able to hang out with anyone. She's good vibes.

It wasn't until the maybe the 9th day of winter break, around 2 am I noticed someone was throwing rocks at my window. I looked up confused and peaked out to see "Max? PJ?" They were standing beneath my window as they snickered and Max called "rapunzel rapunzel! Let down your hair!" And I immediately flipped my bald head around as if I had long luscious locks. Okay well I'm not bald, I have a buzz but you get the point. But then I had a better idea. I grabbed my blonde wig for when I dressed up as Britney Spears one Halloween on a date and tossed it out my window. PJ caught it and put it on giggling as I smiled and chuckled. "What are you guys doing here at 2 am? It's fucking freezing out here dudes" I said. That's when Max and PJ pulled out a 6 pack of beers.

I perked up a little shocked but honestly I was so down. I got up out of bed and kissed Gouda "wait here girly pop" I said as I threw on a jacket and a beanie. I walked down the stairs and out the front door. I walked to the side of my house as Max and PJ greeted me with a big hug "jeez dude I feel like we haven't seen you in forever" PJ chuckled and they looked at me before looking a little worried. I cocked a brow "what?" Asking them about their expressions "nothing man you just... you look exhausted. Everything alright?" Max asked. "Man Max, it's 2 am obviously Imma look tired" I chuckled softly. In reality I did look a little different, I haven't exactly been properly taking care of myself. "True true" Max nodded as we sat in my back yard. I got my bonfire started and we sat around it. Max and PJ started to drink their beer cans and chuckled. Mean while I was hesitant, I was told I couldn't exactly drink while on my meds but what harm could it be? I took a sip and relaxed with the boys.

We started to get into topics about our past, one that had me dying was when PJ mentioned how he swore he saw Santa back when he was 6 on his neighbors roof and waited a few minutes before he went to climb up his chimney to find him only to get stuck. I snorted my drink out of my nose when hearing that. That story never fails. But as the night went on I noticed I couldn't even finish half of my beer when I started to genuinely feel like I was drunk. Max noticed this and asked "you good buddy?" As I nodded "yeah yeah... all peachy" I chuckled as I leaned back in my drunken state. " dude since when did you become such a light weight?" Max asked as PJ chuckled. I shrugged " I don't knowwwww~ probably since I started taking my meds" I giggled as I stood before instantly plummeting onto the snow laughing. Max and PJ looked freaked out "shit! I forgot!" PJ said as they ran towards me to pull me out of the snow. "Wooooooo! Oooooh Canadaaaaaaaa! Our home and native laaaand! True patriot loooove!" I started singing the Canadian national anthem as I died laughing " bro shhhh! We're live in Ohio!" Max covered my mouth with his hand. "It's fucking 4 am what are we gonna do?" Max said as I continued to sing but in a more muffled tone since Max was covering my mouth.

PJ was freaking out because I was being a little tooooo loud with my singing and it didn't help when impulses took over and I bit Max's hand. " YOUCH!" He shouted and dropped me back in the snow " tastes like slim Jim's" I snorted before bursting into laughter. Max and PJ gasped when  my moms bedroom light turned on. They grabbed a shovel and piled snow onto the bonfire before grabbing me and dragging me away from her view.

I don't even know how we didn't get caught but I was happy we didn't.  That would've been bad. We hid on the side of the house, PJ and Max were peaking through the back waiting for the light in her room to turn off. While they were doing that I decided to get up and walk off. Keep in mind I saw a raccoon and I love raccoons so of course imma follow the raccoon.  I chased after it while giggling and off into the woods I was. I kept trying to chase this raccoon while stumbling because I was so drunk I couldn't even think straight and we just went deeper and deeper through the forest.

The further I went the more I noticed it got a little darker but I didn't care. I could still sort of see where I was going. But man was it cold!

I sighed when I had officially lost the raccoon but I noticed something odd about the woods. There was a singular tomb stone there accompanied with a teddy bear and a bouquet. I stumbled over to it and fell next to it, I read the name on the tombstone out loud "Claire Loughty...." I read and froze. Holy shit... that's Bradley's ex fiancé!! She died?! Jesus that's so morbid. But why is her tomb stone all the way out here? Hm.... I don't know. I never really liked her honestly. She used to bully me back in middle school for no reason other than to be a bitch.

I stood up and bowed to the tombstone "so long and farewell!" I chuckled and flipped off the tombstone. A breeze brushed by a little harder and made me lose balance as I crashed onto the ground. I chuckled softly but not for long when I heard growling I looked up confused and froze in place "ahaha.... Nice doggy..." I said to a very VERY! Angry coyote.

......

Fuck...

Now I wait for help in the cold ass winter on top of a tree I panic climbed with a coyote down below growling at me.

"Max!.... PJ!...... where are you guys!?".....
