2301 Words10 Pages

Crash. Kay wondered what the sound came from. The noise sounded like a broken glass, as if someone knocked a glass of the table, but she was pretty sure no one was home. Unless Jake came home which she kind of wish she didn’t because she preferred being alone. Not that she didn’t like Jake he was nice enough but he was a little off. The week was weird for Kay and she didn’t quite know how to feel about it. But for now all she could was sit in her own shower-bath, something she never had and something she came to appreciate very much. It was a nice shower it was light blue and matched the whole room. Only the shower was big enough to be its own room and Kay often times found herself falling asleep in there, as she just was. Before she heard …show more content…

“Why?” Kay asked. Jake looked at her with a look that she couldn’t quite decipher. “Because i was gonna throw my friend, who is a cop, a surprise birthday party and i don’t want him finding out.” Kay was confused. “Why do you think.”He was being sarcastic but she didn’t really get it. “Anyways if someone ever breaks in, which could happen seeing how drugged up this town is now. There is a gun up in my room in a safe. It's by the bathroom and the combination is nine,seven,one. Have you ever shot a gun before.” She had, a few times actually. “Yeah i have, but i'm not going to touch your gun.

Its distant and faint but she swears she can hear it, and she's looked all over the place for what it is coming from but she can’t find it. The house has really started to creep her out. On top of that the kid at school said that most of its old owners are dead now. You wouldn’t expect a nice, modern house to be haunted but the longer she stayed here the more and more she got convinced. Now she was alone until monday. The stress of living in a haunted house by yourself was too much for Kay. She decided to sleep in Jake's room because it was less scary. Also Kay was convinced he had the nicest bed in the world. Plus there was a gun nearby if the ghosts got any ideas. Kay looked in a cabinet in Jake's own bathroom and sure enough it was stalked to the brim with prescription bottles.
