Take me to Church

Chapter 19

Phil's POV

"Phil come on." I heard Dan shout up the stairs.

We were about to go to a haunted house and I'm not thrilled. I get scared by the stupidest things. Like Dan is scared of weird things like trees and moths, but I am scared of everything.

I walked down the steps and slipped my shoes on. I think Dan noticed how terrified I looked because he grabbed my hand reassuringly and said, "it'll be ok Phil, we don't have to go if you don't want to."

I thought for minute. I don't want to look like a scaredy cat and back out. "No I think it'll be fun." I said smiling.

We took each others hands and walked out the door and got a train.

It was about a twenty minute ride but we finally got there.

They had a weird process to doing it. We waited until our number was called, which was 2 because Dan wanted to make sure that we didn't have to wait forever. Once they called our number we took a little bus to the real haunted house that was about 2 minutes away. Dan sat in the very back and I sat in the front.

What Dan didn't know is that there was a guy that was dressed up as a scary old guy and you couldn't see him because it was dark, and he was going to scare him.

"Dan." I said getting his attention from his phone.

"Yes my love?" He asked looking up at me.

"Look behind you." I said.

"Phil its just a doll." He said referring to the person behind him.

"No that's a person." I said laughing.

He looked at me with the 'bitch please' look and went to touch his hand. "Phil look its just a- OH MY GOD IT'S HOLDING MY HAND! PHIL!?" He shouted.

"Dan calm down, he won't hurt you." The lights turned on and the guy started laughing.

"You are a sick man." He said as we got off the bus.

I saw bright flashing lights and heard people screaming from the tall house.

I was scared.

Dan's POV

Phil took hold of my hand as we waited for our guide to help us through the house.

Phil was holding my hand super tight. "Phil are you OK?" I asked worried.

He shrugged his shoulders unsure. "How long until we can go in?" I asked the lady in charge.

"About 5 minutes." She smiled as she looked at her watch.

"Can you excuse us for a moment." I said and pulled Phil aside.

"Hey Phil look at me." I said pulling his head up. "We don't have to go through. We can go home if you want." I said.

"No I want to go." He said.

"Can I tell you something?" I asked. "They are not allowed to touch or grab you and it only lasts for about 10 minutes. It is all fake and I will be here the whole time. There is nothing to worry about." I said.

I leaned in and kissed him. "Are you ready?" I asked.

He smiled and shook his head. We walked over to the lady and a guy who must have been the one that is taking us through.

"Now boys do not go in any room that I do not go in and stay together. Let's go."

He opened the door and there was a small stair case that we went up.
