Maybe?

Chapter 5

We pull up to Rebecca's house and I hear the music, rythmically transporting people to the happiest place they've been. Not for me, this is the worst place I could be. I glance around the front yard, only to find a couple drunken strangers.

Hunter places his hand on my shoulder and I look over at the drivers seat.

"I get that this is the last place you would like to be, but I honestly think this will be good for you. You've had a hard couple days and some more human contact may be good for you." I sigh in response and look back at the house.

There really isn't anything that could go wrong, unless the cops are called. Even then, at least for me, that's not really a problem.

I push myself out of the car and wait for Hunter on the sidewalk. He joins me and follows me to the doorstep. I stand in front of the door, gazing up at the huge house.

Knowing how parties turn out in the various books and movies I've experienced, parties don't usually turn out well. Someone gets too drunk and has a terrible hangover or the cops show up. The 1st option has many variations.

"Don't worry, just do it." Hunter places his hand on the small of my back and leads me in as he opens the door with his free hand.

I look around, to my right there is a spiraling staircase that leads to a balcony over looking the front area. Under the balcony is the living room and that leads into the kitchen, which is farther away from the door.

To my left is a wide open study, filled with soft couches and people with a variety of drinks littering the tables and their hands.

"Welcome! I half expected you not to come!" Rebecca stands in front of me and hunter. Flashing her host smile.

"Let me show you around." She grabs my wrist and I glance back at Hunter, desperately looking for a way out of thus situation, but he just shrugs.

She sits me down in a high chair at the island in the middle of the kitchen, and she stands on the opposite side.

"You can have anything you want in here, just make sure to clean up after yourself. I don't care what you have, just don't make a mess." She moves quickly from room too room, giving me instructions on what to sleep and what not to do.

"Wait, hold up." I tear my wrist away from her grip as she looks at me, almost looking hurt that I had stopped her.

"I understand you are being a wonderful host and showing me around, but I feel like you are making every attempt to keep. W away from you. To keep me from bringing anything up." She looks at her feet, shuffling them nervously.

"Okay, your right. If you do want to talk, I'll be upstairs. But I'll leave you alone." She turns and runs upstairs, desperately avoiding eye contact. I sigh and turn, looking for someone to talk to.

I couldn't find Hunter, but I surprisingly spot my sister Isabell. We haven't talked in a while, she went to college early and was really overtaken with her studies. I never really blamed her, but I figured she could take 5 minutes to call me and see how I was doing. I've needed her many times over the years, and she wasnt there. As much as I want to, I can't hold a grudge over her.
"Hey there Bell." I sit in a stool next to her at the island. She turns and her eyes widen when she sees me.
"Ohmygosh Kayla!! Why are you here? How in the world did mom let you come?!" She grabs my hands and is smiling so big. it made me feel a lot better to know she still loved me like a sister.
I went on to tell her about Hunter and what happened with our mom.
"Oh honey, I'm so sorry I left you with her. I knew something bad was gonna happen." She looks at me with sympathy, she puts the heel of her palm to her forhead and mutters to herself about feeling guilty.
"Don't worry about it, I'm doing fine." I give her a reassuring smile and she nods.
"Okay, but I would go find a bathroom. Your makeup is smeared." She giggles and I sigh, this actually happens quite a lot. She gives me a hug once I stand up and then I stalk up the staircase, dodging the couples littering the steps. I look over to Chloe, surprisingly finding her following me, and point at my throat, making a gagging noise. She giggles slightly but keeps silent.
After looking through several rooms and finding couples having sex or almost having sex in every one of them, I finially find a bathroom.
I spend longer than I probably should have in there, but I mainly wanted to get away from the noise. The bathroom was probably the only place in the house that blocked out the music.
I checked my makeup and my outfit, as well as my purse to make sure nothing was stolen and I finally walked out.
Secluded from all the noise I soaked up the silence in the bedroom that led into the bathroom, looking out the grand window that faced a beautiful garden. I notice a flashing light out of the corner of my eye and I stand for a minute, waiting for it again, but it never comes. Curious, I make my way downstairs.
I open the door to the hallway, expecting the pounding music to return, but I am greeted with an uttered silence. I look down at my phone, checking the time, I had only been there for an hour and I had got here at 8:30. There is no way the party is over already.
I walk down the hallway, tensed to jump at any noise. I make it to the landing and look down at the entryway, finding no one. I look all around the house, thankful now for Rebecca's tour, and I find not a single human.
I become panicked and Perry appears at my side.
"What if you're dead? What if you went through a Lovely Bones moment and you thought life was going on normally, but you were killed in the bathroom?" I take in what she says and I start panicking. I run towards the front door and fling it open, hopeful to find people.
Me and Perry freeze in the doorway to find cop cars clogging the driveway and various guns of varying sizes pointed straight at us. "Freeze right where you are and put your hands up!" A male voice says.
Well, at least I'm not dead.
