Why do I torture myself by watching AHS season 6 at night?!

My hallway light keeps flickering on and off and it's honestly scaring the cheese puffs out of me.

Pray for me!

Hope you enjoy the chapter😂

"What kind of stupid person names their child after a fruit or a color." Sienna mutters as she scrolls down Tumblr on her laptop. Cherry and me look at her pointedly. "Right," she draws out the word. "Sorry." She winces.

"You're lucky you have sort of a normal name..." Cherry trails off and I nod my head.

"If you think about it, it seems as if your parents named you Cherry on purpose because you have red hair and cherries are red...?" Sienna says more as a question than a statement.

"I'm actually kinda fine with my name because it's original and unique. Just like me!" Cherry shouts.

"Actually, one of my moms friends is named Cherry and..." Sienna stops when she sees the glare that Cherry is sending her. "Yeah, totally. So unique and original." I go to open my mouth to say something and close it when I hear a loud crash from downstairs.

"What the heck was that?" I question the girls and they both shrug at me.

"I don't know, why don't you check it out." Sienna tries and Cherry nods her head.

"Why do I have to do it?" I whine.

"Because you're the bravest." Cherry comments as Sienna says, "Because Kyle is downstairs." Cherry points her thumb and Sienna and nods, "That too!"

"You guys are brats." I mutter under my breathe, uncrossing my legs and standing up from the bed.

"Ooh! My favorite is Jade!" I hear Cherry squeal right before I leave the room. The only reason why Kyle is here is because Cherry's parents wanted to see how big they've gotten.

And of course, me being me, I had to bring along Ivory because I couldn't leave her home alone as much as I wanted to. Cherry's parents also gushed over how 'mature' Ivory was getting. Pfft, bout as mature as a donkey's butt.

I walk down the stairs, ending up on the first floor of the house. I walk into the living room and see Kyle trying to calm down the little heathens. I love that song!

"Kaitlin, please stop eating all the frosting in the house!" Kyle tries pleading with his little sister.

"Never! Never! Never!" She cackles evilly, running circles around the couch as Kyle tries to catch her. I turn my head and see Ivory holding a bowl full of sugar in her hands, eating out of it. Oh, brother. I guess it's Lavender to the rescue.

"Listen up, maggots! If you stop causing havoc I'll let you go on my phone!" I widen my eyes at what I said. Curse my stupid mouth for not having a filter on it! I watch as the rats drop their sugar filled items and run over to me, clinging to my legs.

"Please, please, please, please, please! Give. Us. Your. Phone!" I sigh, digging in my pocket and pulling out my phone. I'm going to regret this later on.

"Here." I mutter, feeling their sticky hands reach for my phone and grab it away from me. Goodbye my precious. I watch as they run to the couch, sitting on top of it eagerly.

"Thanks for that." Kyle scratches the back of his neck.

"No problem, just so you know...you may or may not need to get me a new phone." I mutter sadly with a frown on my face.

"You got it." He winks at me and chuckles. Over the couple of weeks things have gotten less awkward between me and Kyle, now I can say that we're able to be in the same room with each other without feeling uncomfortable. I can also say that he's still able to make me feel flush bright red. "What do you think they're doing on your phone?" He asks me and I shrug.

"For all I know, they're getting their greasy and slimy fingers all over the screen and probably watching some weird cartoon." I mutter, watching both of them intensely.

"Probably." He replies. I watch as they drop my phone down on the ground, standing up and running outside. I walk to the couch, picking up my phone and cringing. Sticky little monsters. I furrow my eyebrows as I see some weird toy channel they were watching.

I use my shirt to try and wipe off the frosting from my phone and hear a song start to play. I put my phone up again and see a weird video that's playing. Huh.

"Do you see this?" I question Kyle as I walk over to him, showing him the screen of my phone.

"What the...?" He questions and I shrug at him. A random video pops up of a talking dog and I burst out laughing. I notice Kyle staring at me and I raise an eyebrow at him, feeling self conscious that something is on my face.

"What?" I question him, confused as to why he's looking at me with such an intense gaze.

"I'm just appreciating beauty that's right in front of me." Kyle comments and I notice out of the corner of my eye that the video changed.

"You find an old woman dancing in her bra beauty?!" I practically shout as I see the new video that popped up on my phone screen. Kyle shakes his head at me with a small smile playing on his lips.

"Lavender, Lavender, Lavender." He replies. "If only you knew." He walks away and leaves me in the room all alone while I ponder over his words. I narrow my eyes in thought.

"Hey, get back here! Know what?!" I stomp off, trying to catch up to him and his long giant legs.
