Awake All Night

~Chapter Eight~

~8:00 pm, Simpson's House~

Cody and I are at his house, alone... We are watching movies. I'm laying with my head on his lap, and he's playing with my hair. 

We are watching The Ring.... Cody knows I hate scary movies... But the thing is, he hates them too! Yet he still makes me watch them with him.... This ALWAYS use to happen back in Australia..

The girl popped out of the television, in the movie and I screamed. I hid my face in Cody's lap... which is actually pretty awkward if you think about it.... My face by his crotch area..... AWKWARD!

Cody started laughing at me.

"Cody I'm going to have nightmares tonight!" I whined.

"Don't worry Bri. I'll protect you." Cody said brushing the hair away from my eyes.

"Promise?" I asked.

"Promise." He said rubbing my shoulder.

I sat up and started to get off the couch. Cody frowned at me.

"I must use the restroom." I laughed.

I walked down the little hallway and into the bathroom. 

After I walked back to the living room and Cody was gone?

"Cody?" I called.

Nothing...

"Cody?" I called louder.

Still nothing!

My cell phone started to ring, and it scared the shit out of me!

I looked at it, Alli.

"Hey." I answered.

"Hey, Babe! So we are going to be back later than we expected. I hope my brother isn't bothering you too much." Alli said.

"Actually, I don't know where he is..." I said.

I started to walk around and opening rooms, to find him.

"What do you mean you don't know where he is? He texted me not to long ago saying you two were cuddling on the couch watching a movie?" Alli asked.

"I went to the bathroom came back and no Cody!" I said.

"Did you look in his room?" She asked.

"I'm going there right now." I said walking up the stairs.

"You know I don't appreciate this! He made me watch a scary movie then he does this to me! I really do not appreciate this!" I said, now walking down the hallway.

"Well he is Cody." Alli laughed.

"So what are you two now?" She asked.

"I don't know, really good friends, I guess." I answered. 

I got to his door, and it was closed. I knocked on it, and nothing....

"I knocked on his door and nothing.." I said to Alli.

"Put your ear up to his door." Alli suggested.

I put my ear up to the door...

"Nothing." I said.

"Walk in, then." Alli said.

I twisted the door knob and walked in.  

"Alli... It's really dark in his room...." I said peeking my head in.

"I know... There should be a light switch right by the door." She said.

I flipped it and nothing...
