Steven " Tell me you were kidding . "
Elena " About what ? "
Steven " You said that you were taking me to your favourite place , a place where you find peace . "
Elena " So here we are . "
Steven " Are you serious , you find peace in a cemetery . "
Elena " Actually my whole family sleeps here . Everytime I come here I feel I am not alone . I know it will sound crazy but I feel like that they talk to me . "
Steven " Not crazy but creepy for sure . ( Elena chuckles ) "
Elena " I hate to agree . "
Steven " I also have a family here . "
Elena " What ? "
Steven " My parents are here . "
Elena " Oh I am so sorry to hear ,how the died ? "
Steven " They died few months back in a car accident . "
Elena " I am so sorry . "
Steven " When I said I understand you I meant it because I know what it feels to loose your loved ones . Past few months all people say to me is ' I am sorry . '
and trust me I know it sucks . "
Elena " Life sucks but you know there's nothing we can do about it . We have to live it . "
Steven " Do you fear death . Everyday we move a step closer to death . When my parents died and they were being buried I feared that one day I will also lie here
alone . "
Elena " You know we don't fear death the thought of being separated from our loved ones scare us . And I have no one so I don't fear death anymore . I don't think
death is creepy . "
Steven " Actually I think death is creepy one day you will leave everything behind and just go . You know like it's said you come to the world with nothing and you die with nothing . "
Elena " Who so ever said this was wrong . I agree you come to the world with nothing but when you die you die with the thousands of beautiful memories . "
Steven " We both are quite different . "
Elena " You know what I think we are just two people who have faced some stuffs and now have different perspective of life . "
Steven " Your bracelet is pretty . "
Elena " Thank you someone special gave it to me . "
Steven " An who is this someone special . "
Elena " Some guy I used to date . "
Steven " Your boy friend . "
Elena " Why do you sound so surprise ? Can't I have a boy friend ? "
Steven " No , no , no of course you can I just , ummm , nothing . . . . . . . . . . . "
Elena " You sound jealous . "
Steven " Why will I be jealous ? We are not a thing . "
Elena " You have a girl friend , right . "
Steven " Ava , yes no . I mean I don't know if I want to be with her . "
Elena " Why is it so ? "
Steven " She was my best friend and then we started dating but I think it was a mistake . I love her but as a friend , nothing more . "
Elena " Then you should let her go . She deserves to be with someone who wants to be with her . "
Steven " I don't want to loose my best friend . "
Elena " She will understand with time but for now it's the best for her . "
Steven " I know , I . . . . . . . . . . . . "

Steven " Don't ever think that you are alone . I am there . Anytime you need a friend just give me a call . "
Elena " That's so sweet of you . For that I guess I will need your number . "

Elena " 7 6 4 5 4 3 5 5 "
Steven " What ? "
Elena " This is my number . "
Steven " Oh ! can you please repeat it 7 6 4 5 4 3 "
Elena " 5 5 "
Steven " I will save it . "
Elena " See you around . "
Steven " Yes , sure . See you around . Good night , Elena . See you tomorrow . "
The darkness creeps . You sometimes feel its not moving and just standing sill , but in reality is moving inch by inch towards you . Before you know it you are
engulfed in the dark . An enormus blanket of darkness began to descend and lay itself over the land as Steven walked towards his home . He felt like someone was
chasing him . He could clearly hear the footsteps . He turned around only to find no one .
He could hear footsteps getting closer and closer . Sweat rolled down his forehead , his heart beat increased . He turned back and saw that someone was standing behind
him at some distance . His face was covered . His brain got utra focused to find an escape . He started running forwards to a nearby hotel , banging on the door
for someone to let him . He ran down a side street and hid in a bush . The man came chasing him but left on seeing an empty street . Steven took a sigh of relief .
