"We chased after her just joining in on the fun then...." There goes her words falling out of her mouth and sudden silence enters the room.

I stare at her for a few minutes, hoping she would continue the story but all that came from her were tears welling up in her eyes.

Asia was full on crying in front of me with a few whimpers coming from her mouth.

I reach up and awkwardly stroke her hair gently "hey hey its ok if its that bad I don't really need to know" ok I lied I really need to know, I'm now really curious.

Her sniffles stopped and she was just crying, before wiping away her tears and continuing the story.

''She...she found this little opening on the ground and she found the handle that opens the door on the floor".

She continued on with the story and stopping at the most suspenseful part "when she opened the door on the floor she..."

I'm starting to get fucking tired of her slowness and her stopping at the good parts.

She takes a giant gulp of her saliva before getting enough courage to continue "she ran down the stairs that led down to the basement not many people actually nobody has ever been down their,there's no lights so employees found it creepy and made many excuses to avoid it even me and Alyssa are afraid to go down there".

She rambles on about employees and what they thought was down in The dusty old basement.

"Anyway when it was fully opened she started running down the stairs and we tried to stop her before she hurt her self, but she didn't just hurt herself"

I felt like crying because I think I know what is going to happen "she missed a step and fell to her.....to her death we ran down after her taking careful steps and when we got to her her head was split open"

She gulped again before tears started falling again but more harder "Isaac ran down the steps and saw what was wrong when he saw his daughter with her head split open he...he freaked out and started talking to her asking if she was alright but she wouldn't answer wouldn't even move"

I could feel something wet slide down my face but ignored it but I think Asia noticed it she pulled me into a hug and patted my back.

She was like my grandma I gladly accepted the invitation and hugged her back

"After the incident the owner heard about the death of our best customer and gave him money and free coupons for the place well I wouldn't say coupons just little cards that said he got a free day in a room, he had a lot of the cards with different pictures"

I could feel her lips go up a little before falling back down "he didn't accept them he just gave them back and left he was begged not to sue the hotel which he said he wouldn't but he wouldn't be able to visit any more"

I backed up a little, before just getting up I sniffled and looked at her also wet face "I'm sorry I made you remember a tragic story" I said as apologetic as I could

She shook her head before smiling up at me "oh don't worry about it, the memories can be tragic and sad but sometimes the tragic ones help you remember the times before the tragic ones" she took my hand and shook it

"Thank you for helping me remember" she said with a very sad and happy facial expression I smiled at her before hugging this complete stranger again "thank you for telling me" I said before wiping my face and waving goodbye to them as I left the room.

As I left the room I felt a lot of pressure that was on my chest disappear that room started to have a very emotional vibe that makes you wanna cry.

Should I ask around more? Or should I check out that basement thingy? Wait what floor was it on again well its a basement so I would have to be the first floor.... Right?

I thought for a moment before hearing my ringtone go off in my back pocket I grabbed my phone and pulled it out,typing in my password and answering the call.

"Hello?" I ask the other caller "..........." It was totally silent on the other line "excuse me sorry but hey I'm kinda busy and not in the mood for prank calls so yeah bye bye"

I went for the end call button before a voice spoke through the other line "Emma? Where are you I've been looking for you everywhere"

I roll my eyes before letting out a sigh "mom where could I possibly go my fatass ain't leaving this hotel unless I was going to McDonald's or some fast food place nearby".

"I understand that and watch your fucking mouth" she yells at me through the other side of the call "classy mom real classy"

I can hear her sigh "well be back soon were going out to eat" she said "hey mom don't worry about me coming back late I'll be there on time"

Like I would waste a perfect chance to eat but then again what about the hotel and its old tales....

Ah fuck it I'm starving I don't like investigating on an empty stomach and I'll go see the basement tomorrow.

I walked to the elevator since my room is on 4th floor and fuck using the stairs I'm probably gonna stop on the second step.

I'm that fucking lazy that I need help to sit up in a chair or even get up from a chair mostly get up though.

As I pressed the button that says its going up I waited for the elevator to arrive
