Home Alone Fanfiction-Because of You

Chapter 4

After dance, Krystal called the McCallister's, and Megan, one of Kevin's older sisters, answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey- Megan? Is that you? It's Krystal."

"Oh hey Krystal, what's up?"

"Is Kevin there?"

"Yeah, he's here somewhere. You wanna talk to him?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Alright, hold on a sec."

"Thanks."

"KEEEEEEEEVVVVIIIINNNNNNN!"

Kevin walked out of the kitchen, drinking a can of Pepsi.

"What?"

"Krystal wants to talk to you."

"Oh, gimmie!"

*Clears his throat*

"Hey Krystal, how was dance?"

"A bit tiring even though i only did two hours of ballet. If you aren't busy or anything, wanna still hang out?"

"Yeah, sure! Although i just remembered...i have to make a quick trip to the store."

"For what?"

"Were outta Kraft Macaroni and cheese, and I'm really craving."

"Oh. Wait, by yourself? Will your mom and dad allow that?"

"Of course. I mean, i go all the time. It's only right up the street, and i know pretty much everyone around here. I think I'll be safe. Wanna come with me?"

"Um...yeah, sure!"

"Alright, just meet me outside my house in five minutes."

"Okie dokie! See you in five."

"See ya!"

They hung up, and a few minutes later, Krystal had left her house and walked down the street to Kevin's. He was already waiting outside, sitting on the steps while listening to what sounded like two people screaming at each other, on his handy-dandy tape recorder that he loved too much, laughing and just having himself a ball.

"I haven't seen that glued to your hand since last year!" Said Krystal. Kevin smiled, held down the red button, and talked into the speaker.

"Glued?"

Krystal giggled as he held it out in front of her.

Glued? The tape played back.

"Yes glued! Whenever you have it, we all know you will for awhile."

"You know it" Kevin said, holding it close to his lips again before holding it back out.

You know it. The tape played back, again.

"Oh and um, what were you listening to just now? It didn't sound too pretty."

"Oh, that was an argument between Buzz and his girlfriend. I secretly recorded it outside of his room. They left though." Kevin said with a slight chuckle. Krystal nodded slowly.

"Well, he sounded dangerous."

"Don't worry, he didn't hurt her or anything. He's, just,......naturally intimidating i guess?"

"Thank God. And yeah, in a way. But he has no clue that you did this?" Krystal asked, though unsurprised at the same time. Her best friend could get away with anything.
