Joey is your average teenage boy. His family was out of town, so he decided to spend his New Year’s Eve eating pizza and playing video games. He was unaware of the changes he’d be facing the next day.
It was 10 pm, and Joey’s eyes slowly began to feel heavy. It was an unusual feeling for this teen who used to pull all nighters with his bros.
“Hey guys, imma hit the hay! I just feel too tired tonight for some reason” he told his friends. Through his headphones he can hear their responses.
“No worries man, get some sleep!”
“Joey and sleep? Do I need to call an ambulance?” That joke caused Joey and most of his friends to chuckle.
“Alright, but I’ll talk to y’all tomorrow! Good night!”
All his friends responded with “night!” In unison. He turned off his pc and walked over to his bed. Before going to sleep, he checked his phone. Other than the date and his lock screen being there, he had a single message from his mother.
