The basement

I walked down the steps with a baseball bat in hand. I hear a screech. My heart races. Even though my brother Mark and his friends told me that the basement was haunted I didn't want to believe them so I decided to take a look for myself. I hear the noise again. It was almost as if someone was either getting tortured, Or someone with really long nails was scratching something. As I reach the last step I freeze. I hear a loud thump. And the screeching grows louder. I run upstairs screeming. My mom runs down the hall to see what was going on. Im standing there with the baseball bat in both hands facing the staircase screaming. "What is it Jake??" My mom asked. "The-the basement..Thhhere's something in the basement." I said in fear. "There isn't anything down there, i've told you this many times." She replied "Your brothers just trying to scare you, don't believe anything he says." "Okay." I answered and gave my mom a big hug. My brother and his friends came running out of the room. "Haha you little wimp!" They all yelled. I frowned. "Don't let them bother you Jake." My mother said. I walking into the room and shut the door. "Ugh, I hate Mark and his friends, always making fun of me!" I mummured to myself. I sat down on my computer chair and put my head in my hands. I sighed. Today was the last day of Summer. And tomorrow was my first year of highschool. Marks last. I really wasn't ready for school yet. Summer had gone by so quickly. Ever since we moved here to New York my whole life has been different. My life will never be the same after what happened with my dad. It was late december and there was about 5 inches of snow on the ground and my dad had went out for a couple of drinks with his friends. On the way back home they were crossing a bridge. And there was a man standing in the middle of the road. With my dad in the driver seat he tried to pull to a stop. But the icy road denied it. They swirved off the bridge and into the ice cold lake. My dad and three of his friends died. accept for Paul. My dads best friend who was sitting in the back seat who managed to get out of the car and swim to some tall rocks until an Emergancy Helicopter came to take him to safety. He ended up living but lost control of his legs. He's been in a wheelchair ever since.
