Old Man Screech and The Break Up

Drip Drip Drop

Summary; In which the guys tell you a scary story that has you gripping at their shirts, much to Baekhyuns irritation.

Brees POV

I was sitting outside with my boyfriend and his friends, who were pretty much my friends now too after all these years. We were having another get-together that we usually did on the first weekend of the month. Usually we just hang out inside, but now with the cold December air it was the perfect time for a bond fire outside. So, we all sat around the fire, talking and making jokes.

And there across from me, with the fire between us was my boyfriend, Baekhyun.

I stared at him, watching as the flames danced before his face, causing a soft golden glow to cover his cheeks.

My heart skipped a beat as his eyes met mine through the flames. He grinned at me before mouthing something to me that had my stomach doing somersaults.

I smiled before looking to my thighs, tucking a strand of loose hair behind my ear.

I bring my attention back to the guys who by now are telling stories. After a few stories go by I realize that theyre each trying to tell a better story than the guy before them.

I laughed as Chanyeol told his story of the day he and his family had gone camping up on the Granite Mountains. Apparently, he and his cousin snuck out late at night, leaving the comforts of their tents to drink some booze without their parents knowing, only to end up being chased by a bear because Chanyeol had a candy bar in his pants that the bear smelled and apparently wanted.

"We fucking ran as fast as we could, screaming all the way back to the tents. We didnt know until later, but the bear had stopped running after us because I dropped my candy bar before jumping over the small creek! He went for a candy bar instead of us! I wasnt sure if we should have been grateful or insulted." Kai and Sehun were literally rolling on the floor, laughing. Tao had tears streaming down his cheeks, and the rest of us were clutching our stomachs because we were laughing too damn hard.

"It was honestly the scariest thing I ever experienced!" Chanyeol said laughingly, happy that so far, his story seemed to be the best.

By the time we had all recovered from Chanyeols story Chen had leaned forward, it was now his turn to try to outshine Chanyeol.

"Do you guys know about what happened to old man Screech?" Chen said, and immediately all the laughter and happy atmosphere died down.

Screech was an old man who had lived by himself in a mansion at the top of the hill. About three weeks ago he was found dead, hanging. There was a huge debate on whether it was suicide or if someone had done it to him, making it look like a suicide.

Old man Screech was the typical grouch that made little kids TP his house, knock over his trash cans, ding dong ditch, and whole bunch of other stuff. He was the old man every neighborhood had that also did his very best to torment kids and get them into trouble. If kids had accidentally thrown a ball into his yard it was gone forever. Hes the one who called the cops on people for having parties that were a bit too loud for his taste. And basically, he was the old man in town that nobody would truly miss if he was gone. So, it wouldnt have been shocking if someone had a grudge on him for something he might have done and might have done something to him. It could have even been a prank on him that had gone too far.

I gulped. "What about old man Screech?"

"About why he was killed?" I felt my body stiffen at Chens words.

"That hasnt been made official yet, theyre still investigating." I said as I subconsciously leaned closer to whoever was next to me.

"Are we sure about that though?" Chen said with a tone signifying that he knew more than he let on, he glanced at Lay before looking back at us with a smirk. We all gasped before looking to Lay.
