The Unknown Behind My Walls

Bear Hugs

Forewarning, there is a "sexual" reference made in this chapter, only to give you the understanding that Cadence has never had sex before which will be important later on. I did not just put that in there intended for it to be irrelivent.

School is the same, day in and day out.

I get home and almost immediately following my arrival, there is a knock at the door. I turn and my curls bounce around me. I quietly walk up to the door and im about to put my eye up to the peep-hole when I hear a booming, familiar voice. 

"Open up this door Cadence or I'll kick it down!" Zack shouts, pounding his fist. I can't fathom whether he is playing or actually angry. I place my hand on the doorknob and give it a turn. Before i can open the door up to him, he pushes it in almost knocking me over.

When Zack runs at me he wraps me up in a big bear hug and shakes me around. I dont react in time so I end up standing in his arms, both of mine restrained by his strong grip. When he finally places me on the floor, I smile so big I must look like a fool. His hands find my cheeks and he kisses me lighting on the forehead. I giggle a little bit.

"I've missed you baby." He whispers to me.

"I've missed you too." I grin.

His hands move away from my cheeks to my waist. He smirks a devilish smirk at me. With one hand his fingers interlock with mine. He starts to pull my arm with him as he walks past me.

"Shall we?" He makes an enlarged gesture towards my bedroom.

"No baby. I've told you. I want my first time to be special." I feel my cheeks going red and hot as the words pour from my mouth. He bites his lip. "I'm sorry." I turn away slightly, but his hand turns my head back to him.

"I'm sorry babe. I won't bring it up again." He calmly tells me. I smile softly at him, I know he only means well.

"Why weren't you at school today?" I had been wondering where he was.

"I didn't feel like going." He says simply, and shrugs.

"Oh.." I drift off.

"But I'll be at school tomorrow. I promise." He can tell I was dissappointed at this answer.

"Okay Honey."

We sit at my kitchen table, snacking on pretzels and talking. Until, my brother waltzes in through the door.

"Hey" I call to him but, he is already at his bedroom door, on his phone. He slams it shut and I hear him run down the stairs. Moments later, video game sound effects fill the silence.

"Okay Zack, I love you but you should go. Maple will be home soon."

"Okay baby. I love you so much." He places a final kiss on my temple, gets up and makes his way to the door.

When he leaves I am lonely. I did really enjoy being with him, we aren't together often. I walk upstairs and decide I should get something productive done to ease my mind. I sit at my desk and take out my school bag. Papers have covered the desk by the time I find the one I was looking for and a pencil.

In my room, silence fills the air until it is interrupted when I hear a scratching at the wall behind me. I look to my bed and just above I notice another hole has been made.
"Fuck." Quickly, I get up and look to it. This time, I'm not as afraid of the hole for, Maple and I determined that my cut from the last hole was probably made by a rodent lurking in the wall. When I bring my eye to the hole, something catches my eye. I notice there is a small red light glowing inside of the hole. I get as close to the light as I can and realize it's a video camera recording through the hole.

I fall off of my bed, screaming and yelling. As I expected, Mike does not come upstairs. Maple however, does enter the room.
"You woke me from my nap! What's happening?" She hollers above my cries for help.
"There is a camera! Someone's watching me!"
She huffs and walks over to the hole in pointing at.
"Oh dear." She must've seen what I've seen.
"Let's go Honey, I'm calling the police."

So... I told you. What do you think that camera saw? And no, this was not just a waste of a part, this comes back later in the book so don't think I just made them all make out for nothing.
