Home Alone (ON HOLD)

Chapter 2

That morning I awoke to the sound of soft creeping footsteps. I shook it off and went back to sleep. Bad mistake.

After some time I bolted out of bed realizing, TODAY'S THE DAY! I turned to the clock it was 9:30 AM. 

Oh shit. 

I dressed myself quickly, grabbing my suitcase and hurrying downstairs. Breakfast can wait.

"MOM! Wait for me OKAY?" I screamed but there was no answer. I rushed out the front door; but the transportation vans were already gone.

I sat down on the steps and felt tears pooling in my eyes. It's okay. I went back inside and made a pop-tart for myself. 

I remembered how badly I wanted to go to France. It was all I'd been looking forward too this Christmas. 

After I finished my pop-tart I sat in front of the TV. I was NOT going to watch Dad's movie; angels with filthy souls.

Instead I decided to watch the Grinch. Not gonna lie but the Grinch's face gave me nightmares..... it still does.

A door clicked open upstairs. My heart thumped out of my chest, I broke into a nervous cold sweat. "Who's there?" I asked. 

A small boy... fuller? Blonde hair... oh... Kevin. 

Kevin enters the kitchen. Didn't he see me? Guess not. 

"Hellooo? Mom? Dad?" I hear Kevin from upstairs. I feel a little bad for him.

Out of all the people to be stuck with Kevin. Not his mom, dad, brother or sister but me. 

His cousin.

Kevin exits the front door and runs outside. "KEVIN!" I run to the door, I might just be his cousin but Aunt Kate would never forgive me. 

He runs back inside and into the kitchen. While he's busy sitting on a stool thinking, I creep up behind him and jump scare him. 

"Oh hey Alice!" He says before turning back around. "I made my family disappear!" He smiles mischievously. 

He begins to exit the kitchen. "Come on ALICE!" He goes behind me and pushes me up the stairs. 

We're having quite the time of our lives here. Jumping on beds, and going sugar crazy. 

In the Buzz's room we find a massive collection of candy, and weird things no kid should have. 

Kevin finds a playboy and opens it up; his eyes widen at the sight of something and he tosses the book over his shoulder. 

"No clothes on anybody is sickening" He says while shaking his head in disgust. I pick up the playboy magazine and open it to a random page. 

"EUGH!" I scream and toss the book away. I rejoin Kevin. He picks up a small red item and stares at in awe. 

"Cool firecrackers! I'll save these for later!" He puts them down for a second only to open his mouth again. 

"Buzz we're going through all your private stuff; you better come out and pound us!" He screams. 

"Yeah Buzz come upstairs and stop us!" I add even though I know Buzz definitely isn't home. 

Kevin picks up a picture frame, on it is a girl. Seeing her face I burst into laughter. 

"She's perfect for him!" I joke. Kevin makes a face. 

"Buzz your girlfriend WOOF!" He teases and throws down the picture. It shatters into pieces. 

His eyes fly up to the BB gun on the wall. The corners of his mouth pull together into a grin. 

We fly downstairs to the kitchen. Kevin goes over to the laundry chute and lines up four sports figures along with a spatula. 

He shoots the first two. "Let me have a go" I ask softly. He hands me the gun. I shoot the last figures and give the gun back.

Finally he shoots the spatula and the laundry chute closes. 

"We should make a ice cream sundae!" He suggests. I nod my head agreeing with him.

At long last we finish but the kitchen is a DISASTER! We go out to the living room. One downside is I have share the ONE PERSON CHAIR with him.

"Let's watch angels with filthy souls!" He smiles. 

"That movie is rated PG I think it's scary" I advise. He rolls his eyes. 

"Don't be a wimp Alice" He laughs and puts the VHS into the TV. We squash together on the chair, our eyes glued to the screen. 

The movie starts off in a office with two men communicating. "So far, so boring" I yawned. Kevin rolled his eyes. 

"Be quiet Alice!" He says returning focus to the movie.

"How much do I owe ya?" The man at the desk asks.

"Guys we're eating junk and watching rubbish, you better come out and stop us!" Kevin yells upstairs.

"No one's there" I remind him. 

"I know that but it feels good to get it over-with" He tells me.

"So you say" I give up. 

The man in the movie takes out a gun and holds it up. 

"I'm gonna give you to the count of ten, to get your ugly, yella, no good (something) off my property" He says. 

Kevin looks at me with wide eyes I do the same. 

"One two ten!" The guy counts and starts firing away. 

"Oh my goodness!" I scream covering my eyes. The poor guy getting shot had no time to leave. Kevin seems to feel the same way as me.

"Keep the change you filthy animal" At that point Kevin grabbed the remote and paused the movie. 

"MOM!" We both scream at the same time. 

3RD P.O.V (FLYING TO FRANCE)

Kate wakes abruptly as if she could hear her son's call for her. She goes through her wallet in hopes to find something she forgot.

"What's the matter?" Peter asked her. 

"I have a terrible feeling" She responded. 

"Like what?" 

"That we didn't do something".

Kate goes through a list of things before slumping back on her chair. Admitting the fact that she might be going crazy. 

She taps the back of Leslie's seat. 

"Did we forget anything?" She asks. Suddenly both of them realize what they forgot. 

"Alice!" 

"Kevin!"
