A blast in the past

As soon as her finger touches your forehead memories start flooding in.

several years before.

You were the last in your friends group to turn eighteen and were about to celebrate your birthday with your friends at your home. Your mom and dad had left town for the weekend and left you the house all to yourself, you just invited your closest friends, nothing wild, just the people you love, nothing crazy.

Your oldest childhood friend Jane was there also, you two had grown up next to each other and naturally become friends, she was not the most outgoing, a bit of a dork and had a hard time opening up to other people but when she did, she was the best or at least you thought so.

You waved her from the second floor window, out of your room to hers because your room windows were practically opposites each other and let her know that you wanted her to be at your birthday get together. When you were little, to your parents annoyance, you used to shout to each other out the open windows until your parents told you to stop.

You have some plans for the summer and then you start your first year at school, Jane on the other hand is just worried about her future, you know it´s her anxiety that´s talking and have tried to ease her worries with little effect. You make it your mission to at least stop her worrying for tonight.

At the party you manage to make Jane snort laugh with your terrible impression of Doc Brown from Back to the Future, you love her laughter it´s so sincere and goofy. A good time is had by all, Jane then leaves a little early, you know it´s because she has trouble with crowds and it is obvious that she made an effort for you and you love that.

You stay a little late and your friends end up playing a board game late into the evening.

You finally get into bed late, feeling pretty good about this fine start to the summer.

You look at the clock and it says 01:15 AM you, look past where the moonlight is hitting your beedroom floor and see something moving in the corner of your room causing you to let out a high pitched scream of fright.
