Chapter 4: Family

(Y/N) POV

'Why do I have to watch a horror movie?'

I grasped onto the armrest opposite of Travis as a jump scare played on the theater screen. Travis leaned closer to me whispering, "Hey you can hold onto me if you're scared." I glared at him and whispered back, "Stop joking around Travis." He withdrew back to his seat, "Okay, okay! Just trying to help." I looked back to the giant screen only to flinch and squeeze my eyes shut from the frightening scene.

I haven't watched a horror movie in so long that I forgot how terrified I was after watching them. It burned my brain with such terror that I wouldn't be able to sleep for at least a week. It made me have an uneasy stomach for a couple of days because I would constantly think of creepy and gruesome scenes in the movie.

I opened my eyes and flinched from the sudden noises coming from the speakers around us. I instantly turned to Travis and whispered to him, "I'm going to go calm down, I'll come back in a few minutes." "Do you want me to come with you?" He asked with a worried look. "No, you enjoy the movie, I'll be back in a few minutes." I get up from the comfy cushion chair and speed walked out of the dark theater room before there was another jump scare. 

I took in deep breaths and chugged the water that I bought from the concession stand. I paced my way around the lobby trying to sort things out in my head. 'I want to leave but I told Travis that I would be back!' I shook my head, 'Aphmau and Katelyn really owe me after this! Not only did they take me to a horror movie but they also decided to make me go with Travis! Katelyn knew for sure that Aphmau was going to ask me to go! And she knew that I would say okay to it!' I stopped pacing around the room and crouched on the floor for a second, trying to gain my composure. 'I probably look like an idiot right now, crouching on the floor like this!' I stand up and finish the bottle of water that I bought before starting to head back to the theater.

Just as I'm about to open the door to go back into the theater someone opens it from the inside. Zane stops in his tracks and stares at me for a moment before closing the door behind him. "Hey," he said, "Aphmau wanted me to make sure you were okay, she saw you run out of the theater." I nervously laughed, "Y-Yeah I'm fine! It's just horror movies are not my cup of tea.." Zane quietly laughs, "Really? I love horror movies, it's always funny when the protagonist screams of terror." "I don't know, it's just really not my thing." He stares at my face for a moment, "Are you sure you're okay? You look kind of pale.." I smile at him, "Yeah I'm fine, horror movies just freak me out, that's all." He thinks for a moment, "Do you want to go somewhere else? I could take you to the arcade or something." I look up at him, "You could really do that? What about Travis? I told him I would be back in a couple of minutes.." "I would just tell Michi to sit with him, I don't think she'll complain." "What about Aphmau?" "We can come back when the movie is over and you can tell Aphmau all you want." "Don't you want to see the movie?" 'I have to stop asking questions..' "Eh, I can see it another time. I'll go and tell Michi to sit with Travis, just stay here."

Both of us decided to go to the bakery in the mall because we were sort of hungry. I don't actually know if Zane likes sweet stuff but he agreed to go with me anyways. I heard that this place has one of the best (Favorite Pastry).  I have been craving to go here ever since I moved here. Goodness, all the reviews were amazing.. it must be a high price. We both walked into the cute room that had a bunch of light pastel colors that were maybe just a little too bright. I'm not saying that I don't particularly like the color it's just rather not be blind by the time I walk out of the room. Still trying to take in the bright, colorful atmosphere, I walk up to the counter to purchase my (Favorite Pastry). "Hi um.. I would like a/an (Favorite Pastry) please." "Ah! My sister loves that- (Y/N)?" I look up at the cashier only to see Dylan, my older brother.

"Dylan!" I exclaimed with a bright smile, "Wait you work here?" He laughs, "Yeah I do, I'm trying to save up for some things. Lucas also works here at the mall, just at another store." "Really? I haven't seen you all in so long!" "Yeah, I know, it's been forever. Did you know that Max had a kid?!" I stood there stunned, "What?! I didn't even know he had a wife!" He chuckles, "Yeah, he and his wife had a girl named Mia." "Woah.." "Well, you want a/an (Favorite pastry) right?" "Yep!" "Okay," He looks at Zane who is still standing behind me, "Would you like anything sir?" "No, I'm good." He smiles, "Okay, just stand over here until we get your order."

'Woah, I have to figure out this family business.'
