I turned the corner finally seeing the house from the photo. Walking up to the door steps I looked around feeling the same eerie presence from earlier in the car. Jesus this town is weird.

Looking around I realized it's just a bunch of big trees and houses. Yup there's definitely serial killers living in this town. I unlocked the door to reveal a small fireplace and living room.

The house was semi furnished with a rustic home aesthetic. Everything looked just like my mom described. I smiled looking at the portrait on the wall it was a picture of me and my brother at the park when we were little. "Oh shit I should probably call him," I said looking outside the window. Pulling the curtain back as I dialed him.

"Helloooo," Mattheo answered.

"Hey Theo I just wanted to let you know I made it safe and sounddd," I said.

"Well well well what a surprise you made it in one piece," he said laughing into the speaker.

"Jesus it was one time get over it!! YOU NEEDED A NEW CAR ANYWAYSSS!!!!"

"Yeah I really did but on a serious note I'm sorry I can't be there with you right now Ari, I know how hard its been but you know with finals coming up I can't just leave campus right now,"he said.

"Theo how many times do I have to tell you its ok I understand go be nerdy in LA ; I'm serious I'm okay stop getting worried, okay?"

"Yeah I'm sorry but hey don't forget that Noah should be there in like a month so it'll be like I never left, okay?"

"JESUS DONT REMIND ME mannn he's such a dumbass like you," I said rolling my eyes.

" Yup he'll be like the best roommate you'll ever have,"he shouted.

"God.... well I gotta go and unpack I'll text you," I said. "Okay okay byee love you," he replied.

"Love yaa," I said ending the call. Taking off my shoes I walked up the stairs looking at the rest of the bedrooms.

As I was walking upstairs I saw a mini living room with book shelves. There were 3 bedrooms upstairs and 1 guest downstairs.I ran into the biggest bedroom and plopped down onto the bed. My eyes felt so tired; I bawled my body up holding myself close. Before I knew it I had knocked out.

2 HOURS LATER

"JESUS CHRISTT," I yelled as I heard the doorbell ring. God there's no way someone can possibly-y.....O-Ohh wait that boy what's his name was coming to help me. I walked down the stairs feeling the cold floor hit my feet. I yawned as I opened the door.

JACOB'S POV:

I grabbed the bag of cookies my dad sent me with to give to Arabella. Walking up towards the door I saw the sun start setting. Checking my phone it read 8:07 pm. Dammm I'm late he's gonna kill me. I got too distracted at the shop. I stepped up ringing the door bell.

2-3 minutes passed.

I was about to ring the bell again when suddenly I heard the door crack open.

She looked nothing like I imagined she would. The first thing I noticed were her eyes. Her long eyelashes fluttered around as she blinked. Her hair was brown-black and silky almost reaching to the small of her back. Yet she was a lot shorter than me. She had these hazel-green/brown eyes. Yet her resting face made her look sad.

"H-Hi I'm Jacob or Jake how ever you wanna call me,' I said stuttering. She looked up giving me a smile,"Yeah I heard you were gonna show me around,"she said shaking my hand. "Oh yeahh u-um Charlie lives a few doors down that way,"I said pointing.

"Yeah I heard come in its freezing," she insisted. I smiled and walked in. The whole house was furnished with only a couple boxes sitting on the counter. "Oh yeah before I forget these are from my dad; We'll actually I don't know if you remember her but Emily from the reservation sent these,"I said handing her the bag of cookies Emily baked.

A bright smile fell on her face. Her eyes shined so bright at the sound of Emily.

"OH MY GOD OF COURSE EMILY!!! It's been so long oh god, how is she?"she asked. "Well she's doing pretty good she's actually planning a wedding soon her and this guy Sam they've been together for a while,"I said. "OH THATS SOO exciting do you think you could give me her number?"
I gave her Emily's number as I sat next to the counter looking at all the boxes.

"So want a tour?"she said giggling.

"Sure,"I said smiling.
