Love at First Sight- A love story for me.

Chapter 9: The Dance Part 2

"So what should I dress up as? This," I said holding up a cat costume "Or this" holding up a angel costume. "Hmmm" said Violet looking them both over. 

She turned to Kelly. "What do you think?" 

"I think she should go with the angel." Said Kelly pointing at the costume.

Violet shrugged. "Okay. I say angel costume too."

"Thanks guys!" I said and ran into the bathroom to change. 

I came out and they gasped. 

"Omg you look beautiful!" Kelly squealed.  Violet nodded in awe and agreement. 

"Aww thank you! But come on! We don't wanna be late for the dance!" 

__________________________________________

We got there just in time. Music was blaring in our ears and people were dabbing all over the place. I quickly dabbed for that I wouldn't have to do it at an inconvenient moment. I saw August and flagged him down pointing to Kelly the whole time. Kelly sighed and rolled her eyes. 

(PS KELLY AND AUGUST ARE DATING :O)

August came over and looked over at Kelly who was wearing a signature Aphmau outfit that included a purple rubber short dress and purple uggs. 

"Wow. You look pretty." He said

"T-Thanks" Kelly stuttered blushing. 

I quietly snuck away to go find Jake with Violet. 

We ended up finding him with my brother Ricky. They were chatting away until we approached and Jake went silent. 

"Um.. Hi" He said blushing from looking at me. 

My brother scratched his chin. "Hmmmm" He muttered. I had to distract him for that he wouldn't get suspicious. 

"Hey let's go into the haunted hallway!" I yelled (ps the haunted hallway is a hallway that has scary stuff in it). 

My brother lost all suspicions and ran towards it with Violet behind him yelling                       "YESSS FOLLOW ME!"

I shook my head, and followed them with Jake walking next to me. 

I was nervous. This would be my first time going in there. I wasn't the kind of person who liked haunted houses and things like that. 

My brother entered with Violet both of them calm and cool. They both were immune to this kind of thing. Then me and Jake entered and I took a deep breath and walked in with him. 

It was pitch black. I could hardly see. I felt something tap my shoulder but nothing was there. I started to sweat. What had I done? The worst part was that you couldn't run in here because it was still a hallway. I slowly leaned towards Jake. Then right behind him I saw it. A devil. It's face contorted in anger and blood pouring out of it's eyes. I yelped and hugged Jake for that he could save me. My whole body shook and tears flooded out of my eyes. Jake was shocked. I had taken him by surprise. But he suddenly hugged me back and told me "It's ok. It's all fake." I nodded and let go of him but I still held onto his hand for help to make it out of here. The rest was just as scary. A werewolf eating a victim, a ghost that flew right through me, and more devils than the underworld itself. At least I had had someone by my side the whole entire time.

When we were finally out I was still pretty petrified. But I noticed our hands were still holding hands and I awkwardly let go of his hand. Red blush spread up my face. I tried to calm my emotions in case Ricky came by. Speaking of Ricky where was he? I felt my phone buzz and saw a text from him. 

R: Hey Taylor. Just wanted to let you know I'm outside the building waiting for you and Jake. 

T: Okay but where's Violet? 

R: She's talking to this girl name Marli. I'm just chatting with Issac. Hurry up!

T: OK jeez coming.

I shut off my phone and walked outside with Jake. 

"OVER HERE!" I shouted and Marli and Violet ran over to me. 

"So wanna go trick or treating with me?" I asked

"Nah gotta go to my house. My mom's worried" Marli replied

"I can go!" Violet yelled and high fived me. 

I called over Kelly and August and our group was set. I had a good list of what people were coming

-Me

-Violet

-Kelly and August

-Jake

-Issac

-Ricky.

"This is a good group." I whispered. Then I called them all over. They all agreed to walk the block around my house then go to this super scary haunted house. I mean if I had faced the haunted hallway I could face anything! So we headed out and ended up getting tons of huge candy bars. Then an hour later we arrived at the scary house. I gulped. I could do this. Violet and Ricky went head on followed by Kelly, August, and Issac who were all sorta scared but could do it, and finally me and Jake because I was super scared and Jake was-. Well I dunno why he stayed in the back. He's watched so many horror movies that he should've been in the front or maybe middle. But definitely not last. I was about to ask him that when we were shoved in the haunted house. It was pitch black. My eyes weren't even getting used to the darkness. I heard screams ahead of us. I gulped. I could do this. Me and Jake walked ever so slowly through the house. Until suddenly 

BANG!

A door burst open to my right. A zombie stepped forward. My eyes widened in fear and my heart raced.  I froze and couldn't move. The zombie lumbered towards me it's eyes blank and red. It's skin peeling off everywhere. 

I couldn't move.

 My brain was screaming at me to move, run, walk, tiptoe, DO ANYTHING! But I was frozen solid. Jake tried to pull me away. "Come on Taylor!" He yelled. I didn't answer. My words were gone. 

Suddenly Jake walked in front of me and kissed me. 

The same as the first time. His soft hand on my face, comforting me. Telling me it's ok. I was melting. My heart racing and my eyes blinking in the darkness once again. He broke it off and looked at me. I nodded knowing that we had to get out of here before the zombie attacked. Jake kicked it in the stomach and grabbed my hand. We ran. We ran as if this were all real. As if the zombie was actually chasing us. As if we were the only ones left in this world. More zombies burst through doors and spiders crawled on the floor but we kept on running. Then a door was found. We kicked it open and ran through the exit into the moon's light. We collapsed breathing heavily and still holding hands. We looked at each other and laughed at how it was all fake. How it was all in our heads. Kelly looked from a distance and saw us. Her eyes widening and her jaw dropped. I looked and remembered something. We were still holding hands. I dropped his hand and we both sat up faces flushed from running and embarrassment. Just in time too as Ricky helped him up. This might've been the scariest halloween yet but it was the best of them all.
