The Bad Trip
A door was heard slamming shut and an audible sigh followed soon after. Trudging footsteps broke the constant sound of cartoons; slowly the stomping climbed into the kitchen, and then carried to the living room. Sighing again, Katie quickly flopped down on the couch and faced the TV, watching the cartoons Cody, her little brother, was watching.
"Where'd you go?"
Katie looked at her brother and raised and eyebrow, "Is it not obvious? I came from work." Katie looked down and pointed to her white button up collar shirt and black pants.
"Eh. You never know." Shrugging, Cody then redirected his attention back to his mindless cartoons and dismissed Katies presence altogether. Katie shook her head and walked back into the kitchen to make some lunch. While getting out the bread and meat for a sandwich Cody walked into the kitchen too.
"Watcha makin?"
Katie eyed him carefully, "A ham and cheese sandwich... Whhyyyy?" She had a feeling he wanted something out of this. Typical Cody, he's a natural mooch.
"Ohhh.. just curious." He kept watching Katie make the sandwich.
"Have you not had lunch yet?" Katie looked at the clock and heard her tummy growl. 2:16. Way past lunch time.
"No, I have. I'm just bored." Cody rested his head on his hand and gave Katie a bored look. The sound of commercials still playing gave away his source of boredom. When the TV wasn't on, he came to bug his siblings. "What are you doing today?"
Katie looked outside, "Well I was planning on going outside and laying on the deck for a little bit, since it's so nice out and all. Maybe go over to a friends house, I don't know, im not entirely sure yet." She heard it was going to be a very nice day. The radio forecast said it was going to be sunny with a slight northwestern breeze and a high of 85. Perfect for tanning.
"Hmm..." Cody walked around Katie to look into the fridge.
Katie pulled a questioning face, and then smiled. He didnt want anything; he's just making himself look busy. Ah, sometimes I think I know my brother better then be knows himself. He wants to hang out with me and my friends or go to the pool.
"Why do you wanna know huh? Do you have any plans for the rest of the day?"
Cody shut the fridge not taking anything out. "Eh, I dont know, I was thinking about going to the pool soon. Wanna come with?"
Bingo. Katie could only smile to herself. "Well..."
"Op, Never mind. That means a no. I can tell already. Loser!" Cody stuck his tongue out at Katie and walked back into the living room where his precious cartoons played. He knew when Katie didn't want to hang out with him.
"Fine, fine, whatever. Im going to go take a shower after my lunch. Dont take off your grounded, remember?"(1) Katie walked into the living room, almost finishing her lunch.
Cody just grumbled and sprawled out on the couch.
Katie smiled, "Alrighty then." She then proceeded down the stairs to her basement bedroom, quickly changed, turned on the bathroom radio and took a shower.
-Some time later-
After about an hour of lying on her deck, Katie opened the back door and walked in from tanning. The air conditioning felt amazing on her slightly burning skin. She saw Cody was still watching TV and shook her head. "Ya know, you could make yourself a little more useful and start cleaning up the mess you made." The living room was cluttered with his dirty cloths, candy rappers, dirty dishes and video games. Hadn't she JUST cleaned this room last night?
"It amazes me how fast you can destroy a place."
"It amazes me how naggy you are."
"I just dont wanna get stuck cleaning up your messes! I clean ALL the time!"
He looked around, looking lost and puzzled. "Im sorry, did I hear something? I must have left the window open cause I think I hear a draft. Or a ghost."
"Ill give you something to hear," Katie took a threatening stepped over towards where Cody was camped out on the couch and cracked her knuckles. He quickly got off the couch with his hands in the air.
"Ok! Ok! Ok! Ill clean, ill clean! Just dont kill me!"
"Thats what I thought I heard." Katie smiled and started off to her bedroom again. Being an athlete had its perks, especially when your younger brother is a lazy troublemaker. Someone had to keep his butt in line while their mother slept during the day.(2)
- Later that evening -
Cody and Katie were intently playing video games in the living room, when the front door opened and closed. The clattering of keys and talking carried all the way to the kitchen.
"Jackies home."
"Thank you captain obvious." Katie pulled a finishing combo move and effectively killed Codys character. She put the controller down to go to the kitchen where her elder sister was.
"What the heck! You always win." Cody pouted.
Katie looked over her shoulder and smiled, "I always win." Cody just grumbled and continued to play his game while Katie took a seat next to Jackie at the kitchen table.
"Who are you talking to? Jack?"
Jackie just nodded and continued blabbing to her boyfriend. It was funny listening to some of their conversations, but just as Katie got up to leave and get a snack, Jackie snapped her fingers. Katie looked back mid stride, signaling her attention and tilted her head to the side.
Jackie held her pointer finger and thumb together and raised her hand to her mouth.
Ohh she wants to smoke. I shoulda known. Katie got a bottle water from the fridge and walked back over to the table. Jackie was finishing up her conversation.
Jackie smiled. "Ah uh, yes Jack." Pause... "Alright, I love you too, bye!" she turned to Katie.
"So?"
Katie took a sip of water. She already knew the question. "Sure, sure. Where at?"
"Follow moi!" Jackie smiled and together they walked to the garage.
"Hold up, where are you two going?" Cody asked, still playing his video game.
Katie gave Jackie a look, but she just kept walking ignoring Cody. Katie quickly formed an excuse in her head to keep Cody away for a little bit. "Jackie's showing me a present she got for a friend for her birthday. Im going to tell her if it's crappy or not." Katie was always good at lying to her little brother.
Cody didn't say anymore so Katie took that as an O.K., and went into the garage after Jackie and shut the door. Jackie was at the back door to the backyard motioning for Katie to come over. Katie quietly shut the garage/backyard door and sat next to Jackie in the grass.
"What the hell was that?"
"What the hell was what?" Jackie asked, focusing on her Ed Hardy bag where her 'goods' where located.
"Do you want Cody to barge in on you someday? You better start at least acknowledging him before you disappear on his questions. I cant make cover stories all the time."
Jackie pulled out her oneie and lighter, packed the oneie, looked around for people, and took a hit. "Eh, he's to into his games." She passed the oneie to Katie. She also took a hit and passed it back to Jackie.
"God, what a nice night out right?" Jackie spread her arms to the night sky and stars. "I got my goods, my little sister and a beautiful Minnesota summer night." Jackie smiled and then turned to Katie. "And to think, I was the influence that turned your good ass self into a little bad ass. I would have never thought to see the day."
"Hey now! I can be bad ass."
Jackie raised and eyebrow and laughed. She took another hit before answering, "Ha! When have you ever been bad ass?" she passed it to Katie.
".. good point." Katie smiled and laughed and so did Jackie. Katie took another hit. "I just want to have a little fun is all. I could be doing way worse things, like Cody, but I dont. Im just glad I didnt turn out like you."
"Hey! What's that so post to mean!" Jackie lightly nudged Katies arm. Katie just laughed.
"Nothing! Im just saying you've done worse things then I have, and I kinda want to too."
Jackie gave her an incredulous look. "You want to be a bad kid? You want a sketchy past?"
Katie passed the oneie back to Jackie. "Well no, I just want an exciting life. I mean, I feel like mine is so boring! Being a good kid can get old and I'v been good all my life! Thats why I do this with you; its fun and not 'good'. Its different, and no one suspects me." Jackie just laughs and takes another hit. Her eyes are glazed over and smiles at Katie.
"Your a crazy, crazy, girl. But you sorta make sense. Im just sorry Im such a bad influence on ya."
"Well Im just glad you're the one who taught me what I know. I'd rather not learn from some sketch drug dealer and his weird crew." Jackie just about peed herself she laughed so hard.
"You have a valid point young grasshopper. You have learned well."
"Thank you master, I have learned from the best." Katie held her palms together in front of her face and bowed to her sister. Jackie mimicked her, and they both laughed. Jackie held out the oneie to Katie but she shook her head.
"Im good dude."
"Okay." Jackie nodded putting her stuff away back into the Ed hardy bag and getting up to leave. Katie still sat on the grass and looked up to the sky with glazed hazel eyes. It really was a nice night out.
"You coming?" Jackie asked at the garage/backyard door.
"Ya, ya.." Katie got up heading inside with Jackie. Once inside Jackie went downstairs to her room and Katie went into the kitchen to get some water. Her mouth was sooooo dry.
"How was the present?" Cody asked appearing from thin air, and nearly scaring the shit out of Katie. Laughing despite her minor heart attack she just had, "Its definitely not a present for a guy, Cody. It was a good choice and I approve." Sipping from the water bottle she pulled from the fridge Katie tried to avoid eye contact with Cody, so she asked a question.
"Hey, where has mom been? Doesn't she have to leave for work soon? Its almost 10."
"Mom got called into work earlier today at 4. She left while you where tanning."
"Oh I cant believe she didnt even say goodbye to me!"
"Maybe she texted you? Or she loves me the most, which why she told me and not you."
The lights flickers for a moment and Katie looked around the kitchen. Had she just seen that? She shook her head. "Rrriiiggghhhhtttt Im sure that's the reason. Isn't it past your bed time anyways?"
"No..."
Katie risked a glace at Cody and he was looking down fiddling with his fingers. Bustedddd!
"Do I have to say it again?"
Cody grumbled and went down stairs. The lights flickered again.
Panicked, Katie called out to her brother, "Cody! Did you see that?"
He didnt even bother looking up already halfway down the steps, "No. Maybe YOURE the one that needs some sleep." He finished the flight down the stairs and then the soft sound of a door closing was heard. Cody was in his room in bed.
Katie eyed the lights suspiciously. Was she just that high? She only took what, 3 hits? The lights flickered again and the microwave, stove and coffee lights all flickered this time to. What the hell?
Katie took a swig of her water and went into the living room. Maybe some TV will kill the buzz faster. She flicked the TV on and proceeded to channel flip, until the living room lights flickered.
"What the hell?" Katie got up off the couch and looked outside to her back yard, checking the lock on the door. The weather was still nice, so there shouldnt be a power outage, and if the circuit blew a fuse, the whole house would be out of power. The power shouldnt be flickering like this. What was going on?
Taking another sip of water Katie went to investigate the whole house. Searching the basement first, Katie went down stairs. She flipped a hallway switch on and the lights turned on. No flickering. Katie looked around cautiously. She went into the playroom and flicked a light on to check the fuse box. Nothing was blown.
"Well, this is creepy..."
Turning out all the lights to be courteous to the sleepers, Katie went back upstairs. Why was it only upstairs that the power was messed up? She didnt feel like solving this phenomenon right now, Katie dismissed these thoughts and sat on the couch.
"Whatever, Im to high for this... Time for some TV!" Katie flopped on the couch and attempted to watch the TV that she left on. She quickly got bored of late night TV talk shows, so she grabbed the remote and tried switching channels again, except suddenly the TV turned off. Katie looked angrily at the remote and sighed irritably.
"You've got to be kidding me." she sighed and rolled off the couch and walked over to the TV, sitting down in front to figure out what was wrong. Right when Katie started reaching for the TV, the living room lights flickered, and the kitchen lights went out.
Katie looked over her shoulder and saw the kitchen was dark. Her heart started to beat a bit faster. What in the world was going on? This was quickly starting to feel like a horror movie. Everything was quiet, and she was all alone at night. Well kinda, her siblings were downstairs but they were sleeping, and her mom was out working at the hospital. So that also means that Cody couldnt be the one flicking the switch and pulling a prank on her.
She got up to check out the kitchen and fumbled to find the switch. Once she found it, she flipped it in the up position and no light appeared. She looked around in the darkness and listened for anything, a sign that she wasnt going crazy. When nothing out of the ordinary happened, she sighed and hurried into the light of the living room afraid the darkness might suck her back into the kitchen.
How was the living room light the only light working upstairs? She looked around the house and then back to the TV. All the doors are locked, so nothings coming in from the outside, but this feeling of being watched washed over her. I am WAY to high for this right now. This is all so fucked up and creepy! Maybe I should go back to bed, Katie looked at the TV once again and sighed. But the poor TV.
Reaching for the TV once more, the living room lights flickered and brunt out. Engulfed by darkness Katie started to panic.
"Not again..."
Katie was suddenly blinded by a ridiculously bright light.
"Alright, what the FUCK is going ON here!" Katie was becoming freaked out and irritated. This was to much to be high for!
It felt like hundreds of spotlights were shooting out of her TV, almost like a mini sun shining its light and effectively blinding Katie. Shielding her eyes from the light she leapt at the TV trying to manually shut it off, but the button didnt seem to be working.
"God DAMNIT! Its so mother fucking BRIGHT!" Katie turned her back to the TV attempting to lessen the light on her eyes, but nothing seemed to work. Suddenly Katie felt very strange. Like, she was scooting backwards. Shielding her eyes from the light, Katie turned around to look at the TV.
"What is wrong with my TV?" Katie mumbled.
Wait.. what is that sound? Is that.. are those voices I hear? All at once, this feeling of scooting backwards was turned to pulling. Like, some force was a vacuum and she was being sucked...
Katie felt her heart sink...
She was being pulled into her TV!
Katie immediately tried to stand up, but the vacuum force became so strong she had to crawl on her knees to get away. Gusts of wind came out of nowhere and became swallowed into the electronic device. Papers and cushions started to fly around in the once clean living room. She felt like she was trapped in a hurricane! The wind was whipping at her face and her body pushing her into the TV. There was nothing to grab onto for support. The light never lessoned as Katie felt her whole body become consumed by the gravitational force pulling her towards the brightness.
Katie shut her eyes and screamed as typhoon force winds sucked her into television, into the bright oblivion.
Lw: SOOO! What did you guys think? Decent? Horrible? Unoriginal? Review and tell me!
(1) Cody is a trouble making fiend, getting into all sorts of trouble. And because of all of his shanagains, his mother grounded him.
(2) Katie mother is a night nurse, so she sleeps during the day and works all night.
That is all! Until next time.
-EDIT- i re-read this chapter and tried to fix my spelling/grammar errors. please let me know if there are anymore you see!
