The House Next to Me (R5 Horror Short Story)

The House next to me (R5 horror short story fanfic)

"Help me unpack!" my dad yelled from inside the garage. I got up from the car hood and picked up a box. I carried it in the garage and handed it to my dad. He smiled at me and put the box on a large shelve by his head. I heard a car door close and I looked up to see a tall, blonde boy smiling at me. 

"I saw that we have new neighbors. I just wanted to come by and say hi. My name is Ross." He held out his hand and shook it. 

"Taylor Parker." I said half smiling. Why was he overly friendly with me? I turned around to help my dad again. When I looked behind me he was gone. His car was gone too. I roled my eyes and finished the boxes in the garage. When I got inside the house, it was a little cold. The inside was updated, but the outside looked a little run down. I went up to my room and started putting my cd collect on shelf by my dresser. 

"Taylor?" he asked peeking in from the doorway.

"Yeah dad?" I asked turning around with cds in my hands. After mom died my dad has tried to be a parent. He would always be at work or out with friends.

"You know that you have school tomorrow and I want you to have a friend on the first day. Why don't you go over to our neighbors house and get to know them."

"Fine." i said a moan. I put my cds down and walked outside. It was mostly forest so I had to walk through a lot shrubs and tree branches. When I got to the house I saw Ross shooting hoops with a blonde guy. The guy looked a little older than he was. I walked up to them.

"Hey Taylor! Do you want to play?" Ross asked throwing the ball to me. I caught and threw it back to him. 

"No I'm fine. My dad told me to make friends so I won't be a loner on the first day of school. Who are you?" I asked pointing to the blonde guy.

"Riker. I'm the oldest of the my siblings. There are five of us. Me, Rydel, Rocky, him and Ryland. Our friend Ellingtion Ratliff comes over and hangs sometimes. 

"Do you want to go inside?" Ross asked taking my hand. I smiled and nodded. We walked inside and I was greeted by his mom (I think).

"Hi! I'm his mom, Mrs. Lynch, but you can call me Stormie." She gave me a hug. Ross took me to the living room. I still don't understand why he was so nice to me. We sat down on the couch.

"What do you like?" He asked taking my hand. 

"I love music and writing. I want to be a songwriter." I said to him.

"That's so cool! You should come and see us play!" He said.

"Us? Who's us?" I said letting go of his hand.

"My siblings minus Ryland have a band. Ratliff is the drummer." He said smiling.

"Okay. I'll come." I said getting up.

"Yes! Why are you going?" He said taking my arm.

"I need to get back to my dad. He needs help unpacking." I looked at his hand around my arm.

"Why don't you stay. My family is going out to eat and I have some things to do. We could explore." he said letting go of my arm.

"Okay. I'll stay here." I said. "Where is the restroom?"

"Down the hall." He said smiling. I went down the hall. I looked inside a room and opened the door. It had Hello Kitty and pink all over it. I went in.

"What are you doing?" He asked in the doorway. I turned around.

"I'm sorry. I should get out." I said to him starting to walk out.

"No your fine. I don't come in here. This is or was Rydel's room." He said walking in.

"Was?" I asked.

"She died along time ago. When I was 9 we went on a boating trip and she fell off the boat and drowned." He said with sigh. I went over to him and hugged him. We released.

"Thanks, Taylor." I leave the room and go down to the restroom. I walk and I see an id. I pick it up and see a girl's name. Melissa Hawthorn. I put it in my pocket and went out of the bathroom.

"Ross, my dad needs me back at the house. I have to go." I said picking up my purse from the couch. 

"Let me walk you home. It's getting dark." he said to me.

"No, I'm fine really. It's not far." I said walking out the door. 

"Be careful!" he yelled back. I looked back and smiled. He closed the door and I started walking down the street. My street was really Ross' house, my house and a couple others spread out in trees and bushes. I entered the woods and I looked back at Ross' house. I turned back around and saw a shadow in the trees. Opened my phone to call my dad and looked up to see that the shadow was gone. I put my phone back and ran back to my house. When I got to the front door, my dad was inside on the couch. I tried to turn the nob but it was locked. I went to the garage and entered my code. It slowly opened and I ran inside. I quickly closed it and went up to my room. I went on my bed and opened my laptop. I took out the id and typed up Melissa Hawthorn. What I found was...
