Chapter 11: Scary Movies & Bonfires
Hello! I am so so so so so sorry for missing two updates! I sort of forgot to on Thursday and then on Friday I was at a friend's house. Then Sunday I was spending time with my family so please forgive me! I hope this chapter makes up for the updates I have missed.
The next day was rather quiet.
Kiki was now able to do most things but Brady had made her take it easy for a while, just to make sure she has healed properly.
Lela, Struts, CheeChee, Olivia, and Giggles were all in Olivia's bedroom either reading, channel surfing, or gossiping. (good things of course, like couples and crushes)
Lugnut and Butchy were downstairs watching football in the living room. The boys liked the idea of watching football instead of playing it most of the time.
Brady, SeaCat, Rascal, and Tanner were all in the kitchen playing card games.
Mack however, was the only one not at the house.
Her aunt had made her come home and spend some quality time with her family and not her "no good boyfriend" as her aunt put it. So Mack was forced to spend a day shopping and planning her graduation party with her aunt. Not Mack's idea of fun.
Everyone was in their own little area and nobody really spoke to one another, occasionally you would hear laughter from the girls upstairs, or Butchy and Lugnut yelling at the screen, or even the surfer guys calling each other cheaters in the games they played.
They decided around 5 they were going to put a movie in, they boys had outvoted the girls somehow and they ended up watching a horror movie. Although Brady and some of the girls weren't too keen on scary movies, but they let it slide.
Tanner had his arm around Lela incase she got scared. SeaCat had his arm around Giggles too, but whenever a scary part popped on, he would jump into her lap. Startling everyone around them.
Butchy was being the big, tough boyfriend to Olivia.
And everyone else that was still single sat on the floor, having blankets and pillows with them. Basically anything they could use to shield their eyes.
Brady sat with the single people even though he wasn't single, but Mack still wasn't back yet.
Normally he would watch scary movies with Mack. Mainly because she doesn't get scared as easily as he does.
At around 6:45 the door had creaked open. Everyone, who were all terrified because of the movie; have now turned their heads slowly towards the door. Nobody was there but the door was left wide open. They all spun their heads back to the circle with shocked looks all over their faces.
They turned their attention back to the movie when they heard the door slam shut. Everyone whipped their heads in unison to the door but no one was there.
"What are you guys looking at?" A voice called from behind them. Everyone knew the voice sounded familiar but just couldn't place it.
They slowly turned their heads towards the stranger, screamed, and threw whatever they possibly could at him.
Popcorn, blankets, and pillows clearly made the person upset once they were thrown.
The intruder was no covered in blankets and pillows and let out a frustrated groan.
Everyone grabbed their friends and held on tightly, they let out another scream when the person shook all of the blankets and pillows off.
They finally focused who the person was and stopped screaming.
It was so stranger.
It was Mack.
Mack turned the TV off and the light on and faced the group. She put her hands on her hips, body language showing that she wanted answers.
"Hey Mack! How was it with your aunt?" Brady tried changing the subject, also trying to get off the hook with her considering he was the one who threw a pillow at her that made her fall down.
"What are you guys doing!" Mack yelled, not answering Brady's question.
"Well we were watching a movie and got scared when you showed up and kind of protected ourselves." SeaCat answered sounding not a tiny bit scared of Mack.
Mack walked over to the movie case and read the title out loud.
"The Nightmare That Came True. Why on Earth would you guys watch that?"
"We's thought it looked interesting!" Lugnut responded trying to grab the remote away from Mack to resume the movie but failed miserably.
"No! No more scary movies. Movies like these are going to make you have nightmares, and guess what? You guys are far away from home so that being said, you cannot just run to your mommy and daddy when you get scared! We need to get you guys home in one piece both physically and emotionally! We can't do that if you guys are scared every time you enter a new room that was dark! Got it?" Mack lectured.
"Got it!" Everyone answered.
"Ok now let's go outside and enjoy the night."
"BONFIRE!" The boys all shouted before grabbing jackets and rushing out to start a fire on the beach in a perfect spot. The girls grabbed their coats and followed the boys outside.
They sat on the sand around the fire, laughing and talking about whatever came up on the subject.
Brady had his arm around Mack, Butchy had his around Olivia, SeaCat had his around Giggles, Tanner had his around Lela, and the rest just sat around the fire.
They also were singing random summer songs:
Tanner: I see this life
Like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
In my face
Are flashing signs
Seek it out
And ye shall find

But I'm not that old
Young
But I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing
