Johnny arrived 4 in the afternoon, he was longer than planned in that haunted house. The first thing he did was knock a Miles's door.

"You still Alive?" Teased Miles as he opened the door, "would've wanted the other thing more but glad you survived."

The boys chuckled and then Johnnies face shifted to a guilty one.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude or anything, you were right, never should've gone to that place."

Johnny decided not to tell Miles about the Ghosts, it was to much, plus Johnny also wanted to forget about them and continue with his life as usual.

"Oh it's okay, why though? Something happened?"

"No no, nothing did, that's the thing, it wasn't worth it."

"Uh damn, wanna come in? Play some video games?"

"No sorry Miles, actually have to go to my house, mom called and she wants me back for some reason."

"No problem dude."

Well that was a lie of Johnnies, in reality, Johnny wanted to be alone, he needed to suck in everything that happened in the past few hours.

Miles shut the door as Johnny cycled away to his house. The breeze playing around with his hair. And the smell of Salisbury was just going down his nostrils. He was home.

Johnny entered the living room. Both his parents weren't home. Johnny went up to his room and crashed on the bed. He stared at the ceiling and decided to rethink everything again. The scene played over in his head on repeat. From start, all the way to when Johnny left and looked back once. Then he thought of the girl, Jenni, she was wearing a dusty blue dress and she didn't have any shoes. Her chestnut hair was done in a ponytail which was a bit messy but Johnny liked it that way for some reason. Her emerald green eyes stared into his sole when he laid on her legs and she had a nice smile. Jenni was so unique to Johnny. Suddenly, he shook Jenni of his mind, why is he thinking of her like THAT?! It scared Johnny. He decided that it was better to play video games at Miles's house after all to distract his mind.

"Hey, Miles, still down for video games at your place?" Johnny called Miles.

"Yeah, come over!"
Said Miles and Johnny hung up. He went down the steps and out of the house. He walked 2 blocks away and ended up at Miles's house and they were stuck together for a long time.

Johnny felt his eyes closing. He yawned. It was 10:23pm and because of todays very eventful day he was feeling more tired than usual. He excused himself from Miles's house and walked home. He came in to the usual sight. Dad was sitting on the couch and mom was in the kitchen.

"Do you want something to eat Johnny?" Asked Mrs Wilson.

" No thanks mom, it's late, I'm gonna go to bed."

"Goodnight son!" Said dad without lifting his eyes of off the TV. Johnny yawned as an answer and went upstairs. As soon as he changed to his pyjamas and his head hit the pillow, Johnny was sound asleep.

Johnny dreamt of that house. Of the things That happened inside the house. Of the kids and visions of the cruel tortures that kids were put through. He also dreamt of Jenni as she pleads him to help her.

Johnny wakes up with a gasp. He is sweaty and nervous. He looks at the clock 5:45. The sun was just rising and the town was as quiet as a mouse except a few birds. Johnny got dressed and went down the stairs, carefully, so he didn't wake up his parents. He grabbed some bread, jam and peanut butter and made himself the iconic, most delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Then he ate it with all the enjoyment and left the house. He began cycling towards, you guessed it, "the house of horrors of 1976". Johnny understood that if he didn't help that this would haunt him forever but first he stopped at Miles's house.

But she isn't real.Where stories live. Discover now
