“Don’t look now, bu’ I think tha’ person’s starin’ at ya.”

“Ya sure it’s me an’ not you?”

”Wait, What do you mean someone died? Who died?”

“A girl...I didn’t really know ‘er.”

Finn nodded, though a sad smile slipped through without him realising. “They said so.” He watched as Rae spoke, wanting to reject her offer. “F-Fine. But only ‘cos ya Rae. An’ cos ma ‘ead ‘urts so much ah can’t…ah can’t even remember any drink names.” He walked closer to Rae and pressed his head up against her. “I-I was jus’ checkin’ if ya cool. I-I need somethin’ cool on ma ‘ead.”

“Good choice.” She smiled slightly and ordered them a couple pints. Her brows furrowed as she was first confused as to why he was pressing against her. When he explained, she realized that maybe her offer came at the wrong time. “On second thought, maybe ya should slow down, yeah? Have some water first.”

     “I find the woods less scary than the middle o’ Stamford,” he replied quite simply, shrugging his shoulders up to his ears as he cast his gaze towards the ground. “’Specially in the middle of tha’ nigh’. People can’t be trusted.” He quickly fell silent again, acutely aware of the things he had just divulged to Rae. While, of course, she knew he had to be fairly messed up – they all were, really – he had never really spoken at all in their therapy group, and so nobody really knew much about him or his issues. He tries to settle his nerves by reminding himself that Rae is currently under the influence, and that she most likely won’t remember their conversation at all – at least he hopes. “Oh no, no thank you,” he murmured gently, cracking his knuckles in his pockets, “I—I think all of Stamford might be in there.”

Rae chuckled. “It’s true! And people just...they just suck so much.” She gave a smug huff, looking at the ground for a moment. People made up most of her problems. Whether they were starring or outright making fun of her. She was scared by other people’s actions that led her to think everyone was judging her, so she judged herself harder than anyone. Rae nodded. “Oh, yeah, probably... Finn’s a really popular guy.”

“Thanks, Rae. So do you! Ya make a gorgeous vampire. I especially love the fangs - I’ll make sure not to get on the wrong side o’ you tonight.”

“Aw, thanks. You’re too sweet, Roxy. You’ll only be on ma bad side if ya try spearin’ me with ya spiral heart moon rod like Buffy the Vamp Slayer.”

He looked up, giving the girl a broad toothy smile. “The waters wonderful, love. You should pop in and join me!” he laughed. “Though watch out for to’ piranha in the water.” He raised an eyebrow at her costume. “Thought they might be scared of the vampire in the water!” he winked.

Rae shook her head and laughed. “Uhm, I’m sure it is, bu’ I don’t think vampires are really swimmers.” She wished she had the courage to go along with this guy’s idea. He seemed nice enough and totally harmless. It was tempting to swim. She already felt ridiculous in her costume choice, continuously questioning why she bothered with fake lashes and lipstick. It was also the beauty of Halloween. Being something you weren’t. Completely washing away the facade would also feel pretty great.

“Oh I’m Cleo by the way I think you know my cousin? Chloe?”

“Nice to meet you, Cleo. I’m Rae. Oh, yeah, Chloe and I...go way back. Mhm.”

His eyes glanced around, realising the faces of those he remembered being around him had taken the drinks he bought them and left him alone. “There…there were people ‘ere, Rae. I bought ‘em all drinks.” His eyes flickered around again. “Your turn now. What can I get ya.”

“Mmm...Close friends, are they?” She took a look around for herself. Rae locked her eyes with his. “Stop wastin’ ya money an’ time on dick’eads, Finn Nelson. It’s not about me, it’s about you tonight. I’m buyin’.”

“See I’m totally lame and don’t even know who Jason is but I could do Mike Myers. That would be pretty spooky. I will feel just a wee bit bad about stealin’ someone else’s costume, but I’m assuming if they brought a mask they’d have the rest to pull off more than I am.”

“The hockey mask guy....Friday the 13th? He’s easy to forget. Mike’s definitely spooky in costume. Total shit in tha movies. Once you get drinkin’ too, ya won’t feel a wee bit guilty. Can get ya one ta start, if ya like. I’m Rae, by the way.”

     The sound of a familiar voice dragged Tom rather harshly from his thoughts, and his gaze quickly came to land on his fellow therapy-bound crazy. Soft grey eyes widen ever-so-slightly as the face matched up to the name in his mind. “Rae!” he responded, his tone equally as bewildered as his expression. The question, however, had his gaze cast down to the floor, his fingers twisting and curling together in front of him as he scrambled for an answer. “I– I, uh… I dunno, really. I just… I was walking, and then I– I was just looking.” His eyes lifted once more to the building; the walls seemed to be expanding and contracting with every beat of whatever song happened to be playing at that moment, almost like a heart – ba-bum, ba-bum, ba-bum. “Is this… Is this your party?”

“Brave soul ta walk this far in tha wood by yaself. I’d be creeped out. Or maybe it’s the alcohol talkin’.” She laughed, a bit embarrassed of herself. She looked back at the house, then back at him when he asked if it was her party. “This? Oh, no. Not sure who’s officially. Maybe it’s my mate’s. His birthday, after all. Only threw one party before, fairly big bu’ not like this.” Rae thought back to her ‘sexy party’ that Chop convinced her to throw. Never listed to him again, despite how well it went. Rae bit her lip before asking, “D’ya wanna come in? Get a drink or somethin’?”

Boldly walking up to the person in front of her, she held out a small shot glass. “Drink.” She commanded. It didn’t matter who they were, they wouldn’t be able to tell who she was through her costume and fake accent.

Rae was startled by the stranger. She looked down to quickly examine the drink, then back up at the mask. “Fuck off, ya crazy. For all I know, ya could’a spat or pissed in it.”

“I think you just accidentally made yourself my drinking buddy for the night.”

“Then I accept.”

“Not such a bad idea. I’d just need to make sure it’s a mask that can work with someone wearing regular clothing as well. I’d look a little strange in  power rangers mask without the rest of the suit.” 

“Maybe, but you could be the power ranger that woke up late to battle. There’s a loop hole for everything. Anyway, something like Mike Myers or Jason would be more fittin’.”

“You know in retrospect I should have assumed, but I couldn’t remember if this was a costume party or not and now I look like an unspirited fool.”

“Everyone’s gonna get too trashed to notice. If ya really feel like an ‘unspirted fool’, then wait until someone sets their mask down an’ just snatch it.”

     The sound of music pulsating through bricks and mortar as he passed was enough to make Tom slow his steps and come to a stop at the front gate. Curiosity prickled at the back of his mind, though at the very forefront was a deep, burning terror of what might be inside. Regardless, though, he was fairly sure anything was better than being at home, jumping out of his skin every time some little kid knocked at the door or every time some hooligans yelled too loudly on the way home from the pub. He was so immersed in his own imagination – wondering what could be happening inside, who might be in there, how it must feel to be comfortable in a situation like that – that he did not at all notice the figure lingering in the darkness.

Rae had gotten to the point where she needed a break from the party. There were so many people, and she had tried being social for a while. She thought she’d get some fresh air, before facing everyone again. Then she noticed someone stopping in front of the house. She caught a glimpse of his face by the light, but, with a few drinks in her already, the face was a bit fuzzy. Rae walked up and  it became clear who the stranger was. He wasn’t really a stranger to her at all. She was surprised to see the boy from group. “T-Tom? What’re ya doin’ here?"

“Do I look alright? Maybe I should’ve come as somethin’ spooky…”

“No, no, ya look fantastic!”

Finn had been drinking from an early stage, not ready to face pretty much anybody. Dressed as an emo, the outfit matched his mood, despite it being his birthday. Lifting another shot in the air he shouted “to Hailey”. She sas his ex, who’d now been dead a year. With everything going on with the other girls on that on top of it, he wasn’t coping, so into the drink it was. As he took another shot to his lips, his eyes noticed the person staring at him. “Dunno wha’ ya lookin’ at,” he mumbled rudely.

She didn’t get angry at his remark like she probably would have another day. She’d seen how poor his attitude was lately and it made her sad for him. “I was starin’ at you an’ ya know damn well. Jus’ thought ya shouldn’t be so...alone here...since it’s ya birthday an’ all.”
