The Bad Boy's App

Scare House

Reluctantly, I got into the front seat of Mel's car as she got into the driver's side. The fabric around my hands thanks to my oversized hoodie, rubbed vigorously against each other to cause any form of heat. Mel had the heat blasting on my and her's cheeks but the air was just barely getting me warm. Nerves were another thing that was making me trying to make a tiny fire in my hands, I didn't want to leave the house.

But for some reason, these cousins had a way to make me leave the safety of my house. Again, they had attacked and forced me out of the warmth of my house.

While Thorin and Melody were the main reason why I was leaving my house, my mom was the final push that made me get into their car. So, I had just left the bathroom after a nice shower to get my comb when my mom basically sneak attacked me while in a red dress that was tight on her plump body. She basically kicked me out to go on a date. Yes, a date. Don't worry, I'm shocked too. After the divorce between her and the "Donor" that I'm forced to call a father, she swore off men. I would too because he's a real dick but now because of some guy, she wouldn't be home and felt guilty if I stayed there by myself. I was totally fine being by myself, I encourage it.

So while Mel sat back with the steering wheel barely in her hands, Thorin was sprawled out on the back seat. "So have you ever been to one of these before?" Thorin directed his question towards me and along with it, a burning gaze that felt like it was going to create a hole in the back of my head.

"Yeah, I've been to a couple." I cringed at what he was talking about. We were going to this huge place where basically you pay into get the shit scared out of you. Mostly commonly known as scare houses.

"Great." His Irish accent rolled. "We didn't have these from where I'm from."

At that moment, I called it that he was going to punch the shit out of someone. I didn't know who, maybe a zombie or mostly like a clown. I hoped for a clown.

"Where in Ireland are you from exactly?" I asked, trying to keep my mind off the idea that my mom was on a date without telling me and my ass was freezing. It wasn't like she had to tell me every detail but just tell me that she was going on a date a few days before would have been nice instead of pushing me off onto two psychotic Irish kids that were going to beat some poor clown's ass.

"Galway." He whispered deeply into my ear, sending what felt like a million spiders dancing down my spine. "Thanks for asking."

And that was it for talking to Thorin from where I could see him and control him. Not only did I have the feeling of spiders down my back but also heartburn that was trying to leap out of my chest.

Mel and I talked for a while during the ride as Thorin sat back, still burning a hole in the back of my head. Thanks to Melody and her fast driving, we were quickly met by the sound of metal music blasting and the screams of the scared.

The lump in my throat made it dry and hard to swallow when getting out of the car. A zombie dragged one of his legs that were only hanging by the strings of tissue while chasing a girl that was clearly not having it. She ran like an athlete in booty shorts while the thing slowly trailed blood behind him. Thorin, getting out the car, sighed in happiness.

"That is so awesome!" He smiled. "THERE'S ZOMBIES EVERYWHERE!"

We stood in line for the one of the biggest attraction of the place after we bought our tickets. People were quickly going in and while going in, they screamed. I became nervous and hot. My hoodie was starting to engulf me along with the eyes of some of the people around me. I was standing in front our small group and instantly regretted my position.

Music still blasted through our ears and the smell of smoke and alcohol lingered in the air, burning my nostrils and adding onto the sickness the place was giving me.  It wasn't the whole getting scared part, I had no problem with that, I used to use scary movie screams as lullabies to go to sleep. It was just all of the people that were there, there were people in front of us and a lot of them were behind us.
