Dont Be Afraid.

Chapter 8- Another Death

Saturday. Finally, the weekend. I've decided to stay home because I need to make sure that thing doesn't hurt my family. Plus, I'm too lazy to go any where. So, here I was, sitting in the living room, arguing with Ashley.

"Give the laptop back, Darian!" Ashley whined.

"No! You have the play station. You can't have both at the same time!" I shouted at her while playing on Minecraft.

"But Dallas is trying to show me something! Give it!"

"Fine. Give me the controller, and I'll give the laptop back."

"But I'm doing something!"

"Then I guess you're not getting this laptop." I shrugged as she pouted.

Shes so annoying most of the time. Sometimes she's even worse than Devin. While I was playing Minecraft, I heard my ringtone. My phone was all the way on the kitchen table. So far....

"Hey, Devin." I smiled at my younger brother.

"What do you want?" he asked, staring into the screen of our tablet, not even making eye contact with me.

"Go get my phone."

"No, get it yourself."

Well, someone is being snappy.

"Hey Ashley."

"I'm not getting your phone, unless you give me the laptop."

"Fine, I'll get it myself."

I stood up, stepping over and around my cats and dogs. Two cats, and two dogs. I have alot of pets... But i finally got over them without stepping on them, and grabbed my phone. I got a text from a number that wasnt saved in my phone. It said:

Hey.

Who was it? Wait, maybe its Jordan... I quickly ran to my room and rumaged through my mess of papers, looking for his number. I never saved it because I'm an idiot. I couldn't find it anywhere! It must be in my backpack. I ran to the front door where my backpack was, and I looked through my binder. Wasn't there. I went through all the pockets on the backpack. Wasn't there. I looked through all my folders and my planner. Wasn't there. I was about to scream and rip my hair out, until a thought occured to me. Maybe it's in my pants pocket. I ran back into my room and dug through my clothes basket, and I found my jeans. I checked in the back pocket, and there it was.

"Yes!" I shouted, then unlocked my phone to compare numbers. They matched! I texted him back with a 'Hi' and after that, we were just texting each other. I felt like the happiest person in the world. He use to not notice me at all, and now here he was, texting me!

I went back to the couch, to see Ashley on the laptop. I didn't even care anymore. I sat down with a big smile on my face and unlocked my phone again to respond to Jordans text. He said:

Call me? :)

Then I started to freak out. Devin and Ashley stared at me like I just cut off a cats head and ate it raw. Like I was crazy, but I was just so happy. I ran back to the room and closed the door, and started to call him.

"Hey." his smooth voice rang throughout my ears.

"Hey..." I said awkwardly.

"What's up? " he casually asked, as I got a text. I put him on speaker so I can reply to the message. It was from Brianna. She said:

Stop whatever you're doing now and come over. This is more important than whatever excuse you have for me.

I groaned aloud. I dont have time for this. Jordan heard my sound of frustration.
