"DID YOU JUST SPILL YOUR DRINK ON ME!?"

"That one guy/girl over there was eyeing you! Don't be obvious"

"Shut up and dance with me, okay?"

"Is this seat taken? Sorry, this place is crowded"

"Oh no, I wanna go home already"

"I FUCKING HATE THEM ALL! THIS PARTY SUCKS, TOO!"

"Having the strong feeling I'll have to erase all my social networks in the morning"

"No, I wasn't planning on dancing to this with you but what the hell, right?"

"Could you do me a favor? Could you pretend you're my girlfriend/boyfriend for a moment?"

"Who... the fuck... invited...you?"

"Nothing much, I'm just sneaking alcohol into this place"

"Yeah, I got stuck in the toilet. I was avoiding confrontation"

"Oh, man. Is that the police? Who the hell sold us out?"

"I did, I called the cops. Don't blame me, DJ shouldn't have played that crap on loop"

"Do you think there is any room we can sneak in?"

"Guess what's between me and my party dress..."

"Party don't start till someone's mom crashes it"

"NO! I SAID NO PETS! WHY DID YOU BRING THE DOG?"

"Dude, they just threw someone out of a window"

"...Guess who just stole the host's expensive tequila!"

"WHAT!? I'M SORRY I CAN'T HEAR YOU, MUSIC'S TOO LOUD!"

"I bet you a hundred bucks we can fuck somewhere in this place and not get caught"

"Two beers, please!"

"Oh, I wasn't expecting to see you here..."

"Parties are not my thing"

"I swear, having this much fun should be illegal"

"What do you mean with 'this isn't a costume party'?"

"Wanna dance with me?"

"Best party ever!"

      — THE sweat bedewed & stickied to forehead left little to be questioned in regard to the figment of his imagination. Of the nightmare that left him clamoring, and gasping for air. Of that certain night, that he’d relived time, and time again. The night he’d desperately wished to truly have been no more than a grim nightmare.

      He’d…

        ….in cold blood, he’d taken the lives of those dearest to his heart…and his mind just wouldn’t let him forget.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

"I had a nightmare."

"There's plenty of room for the both of us."

"There is not enough room here for both of us."

"It's cold. We should try to conserve body heat."

"You're not even going to notice because you'll be asleep!"

"We've only got the one bed between the two of us."

"Quit stealing the covers."

"Quit kicking me."

"It's better than sleeping on the floor."

"It's either this or you sleep in the tub."

"Alright. Get up here."

"We're sleeping in the same bed, not together!"

"Please go to bed."

"Sleep is for the weak."

"Do you have any idea what time it is?"

"Dutch oven!"

"You sleep on top of the sheets."

"I'll sleep on top of the sheets."

"I'm scared. Can I sleep with you?"

"You're scared? You can come sleep with me, I guess."

"I have to sleep closer to the door."

"I can't sleep this close to the door."

"Stop getting up so early. You always wake me up."

"Stop staying up so late. I can never fall asleep."

"We can cuddle."

     ---  “WHAT is this, and why is it...” Curiously squishes it between his palm. 

        “ nope, not happening ” just to spite him. “ what were you thinking, by the way? back then. ”
