Chapter 2

After I pushed the front door of my house closed, I leaned against the door, letting the air in my cheeks slowly rush out. My realization of how dangerous that actually was, was starting to sink in and I slowly slid down the door onto the floor.

After staring straight ahead for a few minutes, I let out a heavy sigh and started to pull myself up. I took off my shoes and set them in the mudroom. And with my socks on, I slid down the wooden hallway, the sudden rush of air making my brown hair go flying outwards.

I felt like I was still being watched, and after I slid into the kitchen, I began to look around.

"This is silly." I muttered. "There's no way anyone is here. So just shake this stupid feeling off, Elizabeth." I tried to assure myself.

Still feeling rather uneasy, I took out my phone, flipped it open again, and called my friend. I sat down on my squeaky bead, and started to turn and lay down, when she answered. She gave a rather welcoming greeting, which made me jump and bump my head into the shelf above me.

I laughed for a few minutes, realizing that I was so uneasy I jumped when someone I knew rather well talked.

But a few minutes later the pain of the bump slowly sinked in, and I sat up slowly, and whispering softly, "oww…"

Stephanie, on the other hand, knew exactly what I was doing. She often did rather loud greetings to scare me half to death, and I would occasionally bump my head, if I was lying on my bed.

When I lifted the phone up to my ear, Stephanie was still laughing. I sighed, rolling on my side, my back facing the wall. We talked for a few minutes, but soon she urged me to try to sleep the fever off. I started nodding to agree with her. I didn't even realize that she couldn't see it until I realized she had hung up, and I was drifting off to sleep.

I know it's kinda slow..

it's better than rushing it right? XD
