Secret Music Notes

6

Horror movies. I hate horror movies, so of course, learning this information, that's what's all of the guys and Skylar wanted to watch.

We run down stairs, not surprised when we hear quiet moans coming from Jacob's room.

"Hey, S." My sister, Ashley, calls from the couch in the living room.

She's a grade younger than us, but typically ends up hanging around us more often then with her actual friends. She has long blond hair, naturally curly but always straightened to where it ends just above her belly button. She's tall and usually is wearing some random t-shirt.

"Ey, A. Might wanna move." I say, walking over, hugging her from the side.

"Horror?" She asks and I nod. "Okay yeah. Later, bitches!"

She picks up her notebook and heads towards the door, half hugging Sky and Thomas on the way out.

"Okay. Now that that is taken care of, make yourself comfortable!"

We end up using all but one chair in the room. Skylar and Megan on a recliner chair together, Ryan on the one next to it. Lindsey and Thomas are on one end of the couch while Alex and I are on the other half, leaving a decent amount of space in the middle.

I pull my legs onto the couch, leaning into Alex's side for support hoping that he doesn't mind.

"Someone choose. I don't know horror movies." I say, holding the remote in the air.

"Ooh! Toss it!" Thomas calls out, reaching past Lindsey to get the remote, conveniently keeping his arm over her shoulder.

He scrolls through the Netflix horror movies before landing on Paranormal Activity.

"Hell no." Lindsey says.

"Yeah, I agree with Lindz, hell fucking no." I say, standing up to turn off the lights anyways.

"Pussy."

"Dickwad."

"Slut."

"Asshole."

"Dick sucker."

"Fuck you." I say, sitting back down next to Alex, leaning on him again so I can be comfortable.

A few minutes into the movie I am already shoving my face into Alex's side, and I can see Lindz doing the same to Thomas when I look up.

"Holy fuck!" I yell as a jump scare pops up right as I look at the screen.

"Shush. I got you." Alex says, wrapping his arm around me.

I look at him, "No. You just want to have your arm around me."

"I'm not going to say that that statement is false." He whispers, smiling towards the screen as another pop up scares me out of my skin.

"Damn you, T." I call out.

The movie ends and everyone starts talking about how great it was.

"What did you two think?" Ryan smirks at Lindz and I.

"Fuck no." Lindsey says, sitting up, rubbing her eyes with the heel of her hand.

I nod my head towards her, agreeing.

"Fuck. Now what?" Megan asks, adjusting Skylar on her lap.

"I dunno."

We sit silently for a while before deciding to drive out to a park.

"Who has their cars?" I ask, only Skylar and Lindsey raising their hands.

"K. Let's take mine and Sky's cars. Who's coming with me?"

I get and "me." From Alex, Ryan and Thomas. Linsey and Megan going with Skylar.

"Ash gonna come?" Ryan asks, sliding his shoes on.

"Good question." I grab my keys, "Ashley! Get shoes on and get your ass to Sky's car!"

Seconds later I hear rapid footsteps coming from upstairs, spotting Ashley seconds later, sliding down the stairs.

"What's up?"

I laugh, "So weird."
