The Boy. By: Jasmine Y. Dev. [Horror]

1. I am....Broken

Hello. I am Alex Williams. I'm 16 and I dropped out of school when I was 13. I was high on drugs, alcohol,  smoked, and so much more... I stopped at the age of 15- Or..At least I was forced to stop. I have blonde hair, blue eyes, and I am...Lonely. I have no one. Not. A. Single. Soul.
It's hard living by myself... no one to talk too...Having no pets. Nothing really. Just me..And Internet, heh.
And well....
This is the story how I lost my sanity from a small child who was 7...I was 15 at the time. Actually, it was the first week I got off of drugs and alcohol. But then there was my friends... Or..so thought to be friends..Said it was a good idea to go to a so called haunted house..and you have to go at exactly 12:00 am.

"C'mon Alex it will be fun!" Stacey said with her curls brushing against my cheek. I looked at her with an annoyed expression and shook my head. "No. If your so eager for me to go why don't you just do it?" I asked moving her bouncing brown curls that was literally covering half of my face. "Ugh. Do it and I'll pay you $50." She growled rolling her eyes as her other followers put their hands on their hips. 'Drama Queens...' I thought as I stomped on my cigarette. Yes. I still smoke a little. Not as much...I'm trying to stop...It's not that easy. I rolled my eyes and turned my head to Stacey. "Make it $90." She hesitated. "$70!" "$80." $100!" She blurted out as I smirked. "$100 it is. When I get out of there you better pay up. Cause...if you don't have the money I'm not doing it." I purred, that smirk still on my face. Stacey's head was now a tomato, angry that she was just blurting out numbers. "Fine! You better to it tonight! " "Okay. " I said simply as she walked away from me at the park with her other followers. It was getting late, so I better get ready. I headed off my house in glee knowing it would be easy. She never said a time limit, did she? Nope. So I really just have to is stay for about a minute or two and just head out. Not so hard. I looked around..I swore a seen a small boy but when I turned my head to get a better look he- or it, was gone. I rolled my eyes thinking it was nothing as I kept on walking. I ran up to my house as I grabbed my keys out of my back pocket. I turned it and headed in. I strolled threw the hallway and seen my goldfish, Swirl. She was swimming around with bubbles coming out of her small mouth. I giggled and tapped her bowl as she swam away. I stopped remembering about the whole Haunted house thing or whatever. I grabbed my phone from off the counter and my headphones just in case and shoved both of them in my hoodie pocket. I got a small bag and put about 6 water bottles and some granola bars. I said my good byes to Swirl and headed out. I looked at my phone. %98. Good enough. I should meet Stacey in about an hour sense it's 10:30 so we could talk for a half an hour until I had to go in that stupid thing. I walked off to Subway. Maybe I could eat and do my business at least.
{ An hour later had passed}
I walked out of subway and off into a dark street. Its dark on days but it's even darker at nights that you can barely see anything. I wonder why people even live here anyway. I erased that thought out of my head and focused on what was in front of me. There was only one street light on and Stacey said we where meeting there. I walked over to the street light and waited silently. "Where is sh-"
SPLAT!
I yelped as I looked at myself. Spaghetti... I looked up and seen  Stacey on a latter right behind the street light that was hidden in the dark. I felt tears swarm in my eyes and I forced them to stay in. "That...." I felt something hit my saucy hand...Water. It was tears. I was crying. Another  girl came out of the dark...One of her followers video taping the whole thing with her flash on and taking pictures of me, laughing. I held my face and ran away as my eyes got puffy and red. I can't believe she did that! I knew I couldn't trust her! I saw a broken down house..perfect...! Just like me...cause I'm always broke..No one ever liked me...so..why even try.. I busted open the door not knowing what I was doing as I collapsed on my knees as my eyes got more  red and puffy. I wiped the sauce and some noodles off my face...More tears fell as I looked at the house...It..Was so broken..It was so much like me...to much like me... I got up shakily, getting the hiccups from crying to much. But...then there was a boy. With black hair. He looked to be about 7 to 8 years old as his face was pale and his head was tilted as he sat on the stairs. I screamed but then he smiled and put one of  his fingers on his lips having a soft brush of sound come out of lips. "Shhhhh..." He said getting off of the steps walking toward me. I was now shaking with fear. I stepped back with every step he took. Until I was pressed against the door...wait..I..I...never closed the door.. So..how was it closed...I never heard it shut..I quickly remembered about my phone. I grabbed it quickly as my headphones was covered with sauce and fell out my hoodie. I was about to turn it on before it said.. %0...But...I never used my phone only to check the time when I left my house...How...? "Mama...~"
