sO IMAGINE LIKE  THE MIDDLE OF BUT FUCK NOWHERE Like MIDWEST AMERICA SETTING ALL TRAIN TRACKS AND FARMLAND AND SMALL TOWNS youre neighbors still leave apple pie to cool on their counters and its like 60′s-90′s era and you just moved into town you aka the main characters and you're going to a small town highschool and you've got a good group of friends going and everything is just super normal nice you know like amERICAN DREAM LEAVE IT 2 BEAVER ESC SETTING and then one day a couple of months into your moving to this nice small town one of your friends doesnt show up to school and of course you're just like "lmao they absent tht lasy ass w/evs" but your other friends are quiet and upset, and they keep looking at where they usually stand, and where they usually sit, and their favorite things.  and then he's not there the next day, or the next, and on the fourth day you're like "dud where's (name)?" and you're friends are like looking between each other and it's becoming clear that they're a little unsure of what to say and one of the girls is like "h-he's sick, in the hospital." and the other friends are like "y-yeah! we can't go see him, it's dangerous, we might catch what they caught" but they're stuttering and they're nervous and you're not really sure if you believe them anymore but you leave it alone, and then, a week pasts, and two, and he's still not back. and you start asking questions and your teachers shoot you odd looks, and the waitress at the dinner your family really loves keeps touching your shoulder like a disapproving parent, and you're friends are suddenly so worried about you, but they also start avoiding you  you try to offer a ball back to a group of 2nd graders and they run away from you. the trains echo louder, people start requesting your parents show up to the Sunday barbecues without you, and you tell them it's okay, you don't really mind. and your friends start avoiding you too they wont touch you, they don't want to talk as much, they stop sitting by you at lunch, everyone stares, you're confused. you just wanna know what happened to your friend. you corner one of your friends after school, the girl, you demand answers, you're worried and you're scared and everyone's avoiding you and you just want to know w h y and at first she looks like she might answer, and you lean back a bit, but as soon as the opportunity arises, she runs. and you chase her, and you chase her, and you can hear your heartbeat in your ears its so loud. and you run through the farms and the woods and the fields and she stops on the train tracks and she turns around and looks at you, and she looks so sad, and she starts crying, and she's talking but you can't really hear her and you think she says' "do you really want to know?" and she falls down on the tracks and you think she can't breathe because you can't really either and you sprint to catch up with her and your heart beat gets louder in your ears, and then all of the sudden she's gone, there's blood on your face, a train speeding past, and it feels like the world has stopped moving. the cops talk to you, they still keep their distance, you're clutching onto her bracelet, you caught it when she slipped past you, you're so scared, you're so scared, you're so scared, you parents come get you, you go home, you enter your room, and she's sitting on your bed "do you really want to know?"
