CHAPTER THREE

Chapter Three

Normally I'm pretty cool with scary movies, but man, The Conjuring was getting to me. First of all, the suspense had me on edge, but of course there has to some major jump scare. I wanted someone to hide behind (out of instinct), but Mark was the one who hid behind me. Mark! Of all people! And this was the guy I had a crush on.

The scene we were watching was the one towards the end where the old lady pops up from nowhere. Everyone jumped, and Rebecca even let out a little squeak. I went to go cover my eyes and put my head down in reflex, only to be met by a face full of hair.

'What the fuck?!' I thought, alarmed by the hair in my mouth. I pulled my head back to look at what the fuck was on my shoulder, only to see Mark's face coming back up and looking at mine.

"What the-" I started.

"I'm so sorry," he laughed. "You know I get scared easily." He continued laughing really hard, eventually causing me to join in.

"What's so funny?" Tyler asked with a rather angry expression on his face. Probably because we were uncontrollably laughing during the final, also very intense, scene.

"I- we- what- I-" I couldn't get anything out without either me or Mark laughing.

"Shut up! This is the best part!" Taylor yelled, her hand raised in frustration. Mark and I both put our hands over our mouths to keep from laughing because, once again, Taylor will bite. Especially if her horror movies are in jeopardy. A few stifled laughs escaped our mouths as we tried not to look at each other (which failed miserably because we honestly wanted to laugh.)

The movie finally ended and Mark and I erupted into a huge fit of laughter, not at all hesitating to bring tears to our eyes and make our stomachs hurt. Everyone else just sat there staring at us, concerned. I let out a few owl sounds to calm myself and said,

"Okay, okay. I think we're good... We're good." Aiming my calming words at Mark to not only soothe myself, but him as well.

"What were you guys even laughing about?" Wade asked.

"Shhhhh don't talk about it, it will happen again!" Mark said trying unsuccessfully to hide a giggle.

"Okay? Well, now that those morons are done, cards against humanity?" Bob held up his box of cards for us to see.

"YES!" The entire group yelled.

"Well damn, okay." Bob laughed and cleared off my coffee table to make room for us to play. We all sat down around the short, oval table ready to laugh our asses off. Mark sat on my right and Wade sat on my left along with everyone else in their chosen places. "Okay, so who's judging first?" Bob asked.

"I'll go," Vinny said. He picked a black card from the stack. "But before I kill you, Mr. Bond, I must show you blank." Vinny read in an announcer voice. A few of us giggled as we handed him our white cards. "Did everyone put a card in?" We all nodded. "Okay, But before I kill you, Mr. Bond, I must show you... SWAG-ing." Taylor and Rebecca giggled causing Bob to also laugh slightly. "Next, But before I kill you, Mr. Bond, I must show you... A cupcake so powerful it lowers blood sugar." Everyone laughed a little at that one. "But before I kill you, Mr. Bond, I must show you... Oh my god. The fetish for having small insects crawl on your genitals? What the fuck, who said that?" Vinny said while we all burst into laughter. Tyler raised his hand guiltily and we all laughed harder. Vinny read the next few cards without the prefix. "Batman, punching a baby?, and... Oh my god... HITLERS HOUSE OF BARBEQUE?! WHAT THE FUCK WHO PUT THAT?" We all burst into laughter once again. I raised my hand guiltily this time.

"OH MY GOD RORY!" Wade laughed at me.

"IM SORRY I HAVE A MANIACAL SENSE OF HUMOR!"

"It's okay, we still love you." Wade pushed my shoulder slightly and winked. I laughed and when I looked up, there was that upset expression on Tyler's face, aimed at Wade.

"I'm feeling sick, I'm gonna go out back for a bit." Tyler said and headed towards my back door. We all just kind of looked around at each other confused before returning to the game.

About ten minutes of offensive and funny jokes went by and Tyler still wasn't back yet. "I'm gonna go check on Tyler," I said and stood up from the table. I shut the back door behind me as I exited my house. "Tyler?" I peered through the darkness that covered my back patio and found no Tyler.

"Over here." His voice sounded from my left. He was sitting at the top of the hill that is my backyard.

"Are you okay?" I said and sat down on the cool grass next to him.

"Yeah." He sniffled and wiped at his eyes a bit, I assumed to keep from crying, or to dry the tears that were already there.

"No you're not," I said and clung to his side. "What's wrong?" Tyler and I had a long history of coming to each other about life problems.

"Nothing." I don't know why he's acting like this.

"What? We always come to each other with our problems." I said, slightly hurt.

"Yeah but... This is different. There's nothing you can do."

"Tyler-"

"Just go back inside, leave me alone for a bit okay?" He interrupted me.

"O-okay... I hope you feel better." I said sadly as I made my way back to the door.

"Thanks." I gave a slight nod and went back inside, making my way to my seat.

"Is Tyler okay?" Mark asked, concerned. I just smiled and nodded my head for Tyler's sake.

"Who's up for another movie?" I said to everyone, putting on a smile so they wouldn't question Tyler not coming in. There were a few "me's" and I got up to put on the next movie, trying not to overthink the Tyler situation. Why couldn't he talk to me? What's so big that he couldn't trust me with it? I don't understand, but I will find out. Nothing hurts my best friends and goes untold.
