What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Afraid of the Dark

The Scaring

 Sarah's P.O.V :

"What movie do you want to watch now, Chelsey? Horror? Romance? Comedy?" I ask her shuffling through my movie collection. "How about romance? I could do with some non-scary stuff today," She replies. "I totally agree, when we were walking here, I could've sworn that creepy feeling was the same as when I was walking to your house," I agree shuddering at the thought of being watched. I put the movie in and hit play on the remote, we laid down on my bed and watched the movie. The couple had just started arguing and the girl slapped the guy, because she found out that he had been cheating on her with another person. "You are such a dimwit! You are never happy with just one girl! How many have there been? Huh?" the girl was yelling at him about how he was stupid for cheating on her. "Hey, Chelsey? I'm getting hungry do you want me to order  pizza for us?" I ask her while keeping my eyes on the TV.  "Sure, I'm starting to get hungry too," she says while watching the screen. "Ok, I usually get pepperoni, olives, mushrooms, and cheese, that good with you?" I ask. "Uh-huh, it's all good," she mutters. I go out in the hallway and order the pizza, medium size so it's just enough for the two of us. I walk back into my room and Chelsey tells me what I missed, apparently the couple had gotten back together because the guy dumped the girl he was seeing apart from his girlfriend.  The movie ended and we decided to play some Rummy to pass the time until the pizza came. "Got any eights?" I say with a yawn, "You must be really tired, because we're playing Rummy not Go Fish," Chelsey laughs. "Oh, that makes sense, so how do you play this again?" I giggle back. "I actually don't know, I was just going along with you to be honest," she states. "Well, how about  we give up on this game and do a game we really know how to play, like Go Fish?" I ask. "Sounds good, I'll shuffle the cards and make the fishing pile you just sit there and look pretty," she says with a smile. I hand her my cards and she shuffles them up with hers, splitting the deck in half pushing them together then rearranging them so the cards are all messed up and out of order. "All ready, here's your 7 cards to begin with," Chelsey says cheerfully. I take my cards out of her hand and look at them, I have 3 pairs, two diamonds, two spades, and two clubs all in the color red. Right when I was about to ask her if she had any fives to match mine, the doorbell rings. "I'll get it!" I yell excitedly running down the stairs and skidding to a halt in front of the hall, I grab my wallet and pull open the door. Instead of seeing a happy teenage pizza guy, I see a man with black clothes and a white mask holding a bag and a box of pizza. "Umm, wrong- Holy crap!" I scream, the mask on the man's face had turned from white to a face with spiders crawling all over it, then it changed to a face where there were dark shapes where the eyes, nose and mouth should be. The man walks into my house and casually closes the door and locks it, slowly I back away, turn around and run upstairs into my bedroom where Chelsey was waiting. I slammed my door shut and locked it, I shoved my small night-stand across the door way too. "What's going on, Sarah? I heard you scream then you ran up hear and you blocked the door, what happened, wasn't it just the pizza guy?" Chelsey asks with a worried look on her face. "D-d-definitely not t-the p-pizza man!" I stutter at the same time as I slide to the floor. THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! "Oh, no, he's coming! Listen, Chelsey, there was this man at the door with a mask that is scary as heck, it's like it knew my worst fears, anyway he's coming up the stairs!" I whisper so that whoever that man is won't hear me. "What?! Why the fudge would anyone just come into a teenage girls house, and be wearing a mask, and imitate a pizza guy?!" she yells, flustered and confused about what was happening. "Shhhh, don't let him hear you! He'll find us!" I hiss at her, "Quickly, grab all evidence that we were in this room and hide in my secret room in my closet!" I whisper urgently. She gets what I mean and rushes to clean up her stuff and I hurry to pick all my stuff up as well. When that's done we run to my closet and close the door, "Crap! The lights! I'll go turn them off," I quietly say then run to the light switch and flip them off.
