Alana

The whole time I felt Vinnie's gaze on me. I didn't dare look at him right now dreading the stink eye he's sporting.

"Ooh I've got a great idea!" Mia exclaimed. "What is it?" Thomas asked dreading asking already. "We should go explore a haunted cemetery which is nearby!" She grinned like a madwoman.

"Yo! I'm not going anyplace with ghosts and shit and... shit." Michael immediately shook his head. "Well I'm not going either!" Patrick abruptly got up. "Don't tell me you're pussy." Jack smirked. "I'm not, you bitch!" Patrick puffed out his chest.

"Well then why don't you come along?" Mia asked frowning. "I just don't feel good."

Yea he is not a good actor.

"Sure you aren't." Jack muttered which earned him a smack in the head from Patrick. "Well I'm down." I smiled at Mia sharing her love for all things horror. "Yay! Thomas you're coming." Thomas audibly gulped at that but agreed anyway.

"Jack?" I asked the blonde beside me. "You know it Lana."

"Vinnie?" Mia asked the other brooding blonde. "Sure. Why not." He shrugged. "Alright then! Alex? Kouvr?" Alex shook his head. "Nah, we're driving back early tomorrow. I have a meeting." He explained.

"Okay then, five of us. We'll go to the hotel and get changed." Mia dragged Thomas along. "Well Lana you coming?" Jack stood up as well.

I looked at Vinnie who was already looking at me with an inquisitive look.

"I'll join you two." He finally said nodding towards Jack who obliged. I followed the boys out of the bar to Jack's car.

"I call the backseat! I need to stretch my legs." I exclaimed getting in the backseat.

"Bitch what if that wasn't my car?" Jack glared at me.

"At this point I don't really care. I just hope my kidnapper would be hot." I shrug to which Jack gives a look of disbelief. "Chill woman."

After driving for about fifteen minutes we reach the hotel. Our car ride was relatively silent with Jack trying to make conversation with Vinnie while I almost passed out.

We parted ways to our rooms and agreed to meet in the parking lot where Thomas has parked his car.

I quickly got changed into a maroon long sleeved crop top, some white sweats paired with my burgundy converse and put my hair up by a claw clip holding it.

When I reached the parking lot, I saw everyone was already there. "Please tell me that she's not bringing a fucking ouija board." I glare at the game in Mia's hand.

"She made me stop at a target to get her one." Thomas held a camera in his hand which was pointed at me. "For fucks sake." I groaned.

"Come on then! Let's go it's already eleven!" Mia pushed me into the car. I was in between Jack and Vinnie.

"Alright guys, so we're going to a cemetery that Mia wants to go to explore. She even bought a fucking ouija board for it." Thomas filmed explaining what was happening to the camera. "We've got Jack, Alana and Vinnie with us." He turned the camera to us and I waved. "We're like the Scooby gang." I smiled.

"We can agree that Jack is definitely the dog." Vinnie smirked at the blonde who reached behind me to hit him.

"Shut the fuck up. Can we get going?" He groaned getting impatient.

Thomas started the car as Mia navigated him. "So it's about an hour from here." Mia smiled sheepishly.

"Fucking hell. Wake me up when we get there." I lied my head back and closed my eyes.

I felt someone shake me. "Lana get up. We're here." I felt hot breath against my neck. I rubbed my eyes and saw that my head was resting on Vinnie's shoulder which made me pull away instantly.

I coughed awkwardly and looked outside the window. It was dark and the only source of light was the car headlights which illuminated an iron gate which was so old that it was rusted in certain areas.

"Alright let's get going!" Mia was the first to get out and everyone followed. I walked out rubbing my eyes.

I didn't see that I stumbled over a rock and strong hands steadied me. "Woah sleepy. Watch where you're going." Vinnie spoke against my ear.

I almost physically shuddered but pulled away from him reluctantly.

"Okay so we've brought three tents, blankets, pillows a lighter from Vinnie's pocket, snacks, water, flashlights and the ouija board obviously." Mia listed off.

"Why the fuck did you get blanket and pillows? We're not building a fucking fort here!" Vinnie looked at Mia as if she were crazy.

"We didn't find the fucking sleeping bags so I got the next best option." She reasoned.

"Alright then guys we need to stick together cause the signal here is pretty shitty." Thomas spoke to us but his gaze on the camera as it pointed back at us.

"Fucking fantastic." Jack deadpanned.

Hi!! Long time no seee! So I'm seeing that I've got a shit ton of silent readers. First of, what the fuck is up with that? Second of all, it might take me a while to post now since I've used up all my pre written drafts. I need to write new chapters now and since my finals are going on it might take me a while.
