Chp.4- Sneaking Out

      We had to be careful with what we did as I lived in a three storey mansion, we had servants/security all over the place and camera's too. My room was on the second floor and there was no way we could jump out of the window. If by any chance we were caught, I would undeniably be grounded for life, but can't they see that it's not my fault? If they could just let me out once every week to hang out with my friends this wouldn't be an issue.

    I knew there was only one way out , the plan was – that Taytam would plug out the Wi-Fi cables so that all the camera's operating would be disabled, I would then have to pay my sister twenty bucks to keep her mouth shut and distract the guard in the security room while Madison , Taytam and I make our way to the cellar without getting caught by the housekeeper! Our basement had an attic to it , we could easily get out as the garret had a vent that opened out to our backyard.

   My sister-'Nessa Adler' , went in to distract the security guard while Taytam disabled the cam's . It was a two second job to complete but it felt like we were doing something illegal which we were totally not meant to do. After disabling them we made our way through the staircase , the difficult part was passing Ms.Watson's bedroom in the basement .We tip-toed to the very bottom of the house and grabbed the ladder that rested in one of the cabinets under the stairs. We climbed up and dang it , the attic felt like it wasn't cleaned for an eternity!? There were spider-webs and yah even though it was creepy we crawled our way out. *Just so you know, I had to leave my phone in my room because my parents have my location and can track me down anytime they wish to.*

   Madison parked her car by the block and she was the only one who got her driver's license at 14 because Taytam and my parents wouldn't let us drive even though almost every teen here in Canada gets their license at 14!? Anyway , we decided to go to the central café which was prolly the only teen friendly place we could go to as it was 12:40 a.m and usually all the other kids here have fake identities just so they can get into the bar and party all night but that vibe never matched ours and never will? We got in , orderd some cappuccino's and doughnuts , and to our surprise ...Holmes worked here as a barista !

   He made the coffee and served the doughnuts for us , not gonna lie- it was pretty fresh and delightful at the same time. Madison asked him to sit with us (which I never wanted but as it's kind to ask, she did it anyway . ) and he agreed because his duty was almost over. I scooted over and he sat beside me. We were there for about 15 minutes , we talked about a lot of things back at school and just our weird experiences with strangers . It was fun until Holmes suggested that we go to the tree lake and spend some time there, I didn't wanna agree to that because the lake was 20 minutes away from where we are now and 30 minutes away from my house !

    Madison drove us to a place we had never been to, well thanks to HOLMES! Once we got there, he guided us to the lake and OH MY GOD ! it was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen, the water sparkled as the moonlight hit the water lines. The cool breeze gushed through my hair and the peaceful voice of the crickets was worth listening to. This seemed like my kind of peace. I didn't bother to look around for who was staring at me and laid on the grass , watching the blissful skies above me. I was relieved and for once it felt like the burden that laid on my shoulders was no more heavy. I wish I could sleep there for the night but then I remembered that we had to get home before I ruin everything. I dearly thanked Holmes for getting us there and i was now friends with a guy for the very first time in my life , but if my parents found out – they'll definitely wanna meet him and without me knowing they'll find out his entire family history , including his address? Isn't that crazyyy but it's true and it's definitely embarrassing for me :) .

   We got into in the car and let's just say things got pretty crazy mid way. Our car BROKE DOWN in the middle of legit no where at freaking 1:30 am in the morning , and fun fact – none of us knew how in the world to fix a puncture without any tools , it wasn't a bicycle tyre that was punctured that you could tape it and and drive it upto your house? I started to catch a nerve because I was already creating a lot of scenarios insinde my damn head and trying to be serene at the same time.

   Things couldn't have gotten worse, my watch started vibrating and it was my sister who called me in order to warn us that my parents were out already looking for us ! I could only imagine how pissed they were and I was waiting for the death of me , it's ok , I'll survive. We started walking on the footpath towards my house that was 20 minutes away and as expected my parents pulled up! In anger my mom asked us to get in the car , they drove us to the house and as we got in- she yelled at me infront of everyone and told me how irresponsible I was . I could sense her burning inside and oh the way she gave Holmes a death stare.

   My mom recognized who he was and she asked me-"Isn't he that guy?", all of them looked at me as if I betrayed them. Yes, Holmes and I have a past and we know eachother. Not only was my mom certain about what was going on but I was grounded for 2 months. By the question she asked, a lot of memories flashed in front of my eyes and the unbearable pain striked again...I know who Holmes is. I lied to everyone because I didn't want them to know who he was , I thought this would be a new start.

I hope I can make it upto everyone ....
