Chapter 7 - Trouble Brewing
After the movie was over, they all heard a knock at the door.
"What the... Zack, what time is it?" Alyson asked him.
"2:00," he replied. Everyone looked at each other, wide-eyed and frightened.
"Well... I'll go see who it is, then," Aly said, tiptoeing over to the door. Maddie, AJ, and Zack followed while the rest stayed behind in the living room.
Alyson looked out of the small hole at the top of the door to see London standing there in her pajamas with her puppy at her feet. She looked exhausted and scared.
"Guys, it's London... she looks really scared," Aly said.
"Well, don't let her in! I hate her!" Maddie exclaimed.
"Maddie, I know she upset you, but..." Aly said, getting interrupted by Maddie again.
"I don't care! She hurt my feelings and she's a huge butthole! I hate her! She didn't even apologize to me, and she was the one that started it!" she yelled.
"Well, you two can ignore each other, then," AJ said. "She might be a butthole and a little snobby, but she's our friend."
Maddie crossed her arms and said, "You know, I WAS having fun... but then SHE had to show up and ruin it. All I wanted was some one-on-one attention from you two... but then Zack and Cody started interfering. And then, to top it all off, Maxx, and now THIS!" she exclaimed, pointing to the door, her voice cracking.
Aly and AJ sighed and Aly said, "Maddie, I..."
"Save it. I love you guys and all, but... this is just not going the way I wanted it to," she said, a tear falling from her eyes. The girls said nothing. "I'm going to bed. You can let her in."
With that being said, Maddie ran upstairs into one of the guest bedrooms and slammed the door and locked it.
Everyone looked around at each other sadly. Alyson then opened the door and let London in.
London ran in with a frightened look and slammed the door shut. "Aly, AJ... there's... someone... after... you," she said, panting frantically.
Alyson and Amanda's eyes grew wide with fright. "What do you mean?" AJ asked.
"There was this guy... and... he was... chasing me... he knew that I... knew you... and he didn't stop until... I lost him and... came in here..." London drug out.
At this point, the girls were all but relaxed. They grabbed onto each other, frightened even more than they were before.
Now London had caught her breath and said, "As far as I know, he doesn't know what suite you're in. You need to run upstairs and hide."
"But what about them?" AJ asked, looking at everyone else.
"Oh, they'll be alright," London said. "He doesn't know them. Guys," she said, turning to everyone else, "Do NOT answer the door for anybody, okay?"
"Okay," they all said.
"Just play some video games or something... or go to bed. Whatever," she said.
"Okay," they all said in unison as Aly, AJ, and London ran upstairs.
End of Chapter 7
I know it was short, but I'm trying to update all of my fics today, even if it means little dinky ones! At least it's an update... a small one, but an update nonetheless. Review, please!
