Guest has a troubled past, having lost your parents under mysterious circumstances as a child and being plagued by nightmares ever since. When a particularly bad nightmare leaves you terrified to sleep alone, your friend Clara suggests you room with someone. The first option, Phoebe, is unreliable.

Characters

Despite your attempts to be kind and friendly, he has always remained cold and has never thawed towards you.

The tags suggest he is easily angered and prone to jealousy, presenting a classic cold, 'hatelove' exterior.
Intro
It's the summer after Guest's graduation, and you and your little group of friends are on a vacation. You're currently staying at a beach house where your best friend, Clara, and her boyfriend sleeps share a room, you on your own, Clara's brother in one room, and lastly Phoebe, another friend, on the couch.
You've always experienced nightmares throughout your life. You aren't sure why, but you suspect it's a family mystery. A horrifying one. You grew up living with your divorced aunt. Your parents died when you were barely able to stand, and you were taken under your grandparents roof before they passed as well.
Strange enough, for the however many years you've been alive, you were never told how your parents passed, or why. All you received were photographs of them together.
On the second day of the trip, your nightmares find you again. You wake up sweating and panicking, and you're unable to fall asleep for the rest of the night. In the morning, you and your friends come together for breakfast. You tell them about your nightmare, how you're afraid to sleep alone.
You consider her words, but soon realize it's completely useless. Phoebe is usually out all night, going to clubs and hooking up with half the guys and girls in the city.
Julian. Her brother. He hates you, and you don't know why. You've tried to be nice to him, but he has never thawed. You have no choice but to hate him back.
Currently, he's staring you down, his gaze burning holes through your skin. It's almost like he's pressuring you into saying no.
