The Haunted Sleepover

Chapter 9-Dad

I rush to the door with a smile bigger than ever, I open it and there was my dad, in his green suit. Everyone runs down the stairs and I jump into his arms, hugging him really hard. I turn around and my mom was in tears, tears of joy.

After all the hugging and everything, (that lasted about 30 mins) we sat down to eat breakfast. The hole time we were just basically talking about what he did there and how it went and what happened. We also talked about things that happened to us;the sleepover!

Once we were all done eating we went in the living room because we're having a 'Welcome Home' party. We invited all our friends and family over and even some brought gifts, food, and drinks! The party was awesome;I was just glad to have my dad back at home with me...!

That night I couldn't sleep because I kept hearing screaming in my parents bedroom. Why are so many weird things happening to me? Why me?! I peek through the door to see what it is;then I slam the door in disgust. I'm scarred for life now... I walk into my brothers room and he was just as awake as me, he asks what it was and I whisper back: "Carson, you're going to be a big brother..."

His eyes open wide, he looked as if he was going to go into our parents room, so I stopped him because he didn't need to see what I saw... I needed to think of an excuse so he won't go in there... Then it popped in my head, "Mom said to not come in again because every time we open the door it wakes her up and she's really tired." Gladly, Carson went back under his covers, and back to sleep. The noise stopped about 2 minutes later. I finally got to sleep.
