The Obsession (A 'The Babysitter' Fan-fiction)

Chapter 5

Halle's POV

Cole and I quickly crawl back into our room and quietly shut the door. Cole calls the police, while I stuff my two pocket knives into my pockets and began tying some our spare sheets into a rope so we could climb down from the window. Cole hangs up the phone and shoves his pocket knife into his pajama pants. Then we hear foot steps coming up the stairs. 

Cole pushes the sheet rope under his bed and we both climb in our beds and pretend to be  sleep as the footsteps drawn nearer. Soon the door opens and they all walk into our room. 

"...we shed 15% of our dead skin cells." Bee says as they all walk in. 

"Yo, this kids hobby must be gettin' bullied. He's reading the secret? He's like 10. What secret does he need to know?" John says looking at Cole's book collection. 

I suddenly feel my bed dip and a hand moving my hair out of my face. 

"Hello sweetheart." Max says quietly, running his hand through my hair. What the hell?!

"Won't they hear us?" Sonya asks quietly as she took a seat beside Cole on his bed. 

"With the amount of drugs I gave them they'll be out for another 8 hours." Bee tells her. Well, that explains her comment about sleeping like a rock earlier.

"Yo, Max, this is the chick you've been stalking? Damn she's hot." John exclaims and I try not to stiffen. What?! What does he mean stalking?! Max wouldn't stalk me, he's a quarterback and I'm a quiet loner. Why the hell would he spend time watchin' me?!

"She sure is." Max says fondly, running his fingertips up and down my arms. I'm glad I forgot to take off my cardigan or else he would have felt the goosebumps that were forming on my arms. 

"Do you have the needle?" Bee asks and I have to try not the stiffen once again. Cole hates needles!  

"Of course I have the needle." Sonya says then rummages around for it for a little bit. Please don't scream Cole. If you do we are done for.

"You know there's a faster way to get all that blood." Max says as he continues to stroke my hair and arm. Why does he keep touching me?

"You know what happens when you kill someone?" Bee asks as she preps the needle. 

"Yeah, they lose all their Instagram followers." John answers. 

"Omg, that would suck!" Allison exclaims. 

"No, they die. Then I would have to find another innocent kid. And all of this only works when we use the top-self pure shit and Cole here is like a fountain of that for us." Bee says seriously. I can't believe Bee has only been using us to get Cole's blood.

I heard Bee drawing blood from Cole and prayed that he wouldn't scream like he did at school two days ago. 

"Wait, you gotta give him a little band-aid." John says as Bee pulls the needle out of Cole. 

"Okay, let's go mix some blood." Allison says, walking out. 

John makes a comment about Lebron James as he shoots Cole's mini basket ball into the hoop on his wall as he, Allison, and Sonya leave the room. 

"Good boy." Bee says to Cole and shuts off his light before standing up. I hear her turn on her heel.

"Max." She says sternly to the guy still perched on my bed. Max sighs.

"Night, Baby Girl. I'll see you soon." He says before gently kissing my temple and walking out of the room. God, I hope not. Unless its in court maybe. 

A cool breeze blew through the room and I realized Cole had forgot to close the window. I heard the door close, but I didn't hear Bee leave so I stayed in bed. I heard Cole get up and throw the bed sheet rope out the window. 

He then came over to my bed and lightly shook my shoulder. "Come on, Halle, we got to go."

But, I didn't budge. I wasn't going to risk getting caught. I then heard a loud thump next to me. 

Cole must have fainted from blood loss. 

"Guys get up here!" Bee yelled as she slammed the window shut. Shit. 

I heard foot steps and everyone poured back into the room. "Yo, B, what's going on?" John asks, seeing Cole on the floor. 

"It seems Cole didn't drink the shot I gave him. We need to tie him up downstairs and find out if he saw anything." Bee says and John picks my brother out and carries him downstairs, Allison following him. 

"What about Halle? Is she awake?" Max asks, tracing his hand over my face. 

"I honestly don't know. Cole tried to wake her, but she didn't budge so I don't think so." Bee said and then I heard footsteps telling me they left the room and went downstairs.

I waited a bit before sitting up in bed. 

"Hi gorgeous." 

Shit.
