David's P.O.V.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

I look over at Liza, her face is flushed with fear. She's pale as a ghost. She snuggles into my chest, and I wrap my arms around her.

Drip. Thump. Drip. Thump.

Now I'm scared. First, we were woken up in the middle of the night by thumping coming from my attic. Now, something in the master bathroom is dripping, along with thumping coming from there.

It all feels too familiar. Just a couple of months ago, Reggie and Natalie were here interior decorating and they had some weird things happen to them. Mr. Lonely started playing full blast on my speakers with the remote no where to be found. And they also experienced footsteps on the roof, but nothing like this.

The shower turns on, Liza shifts closer to me. "David, what's that?" She asks, looking up at me.

"I think it's the shower running." I whisper. She glances at the bathroom door and then back up to me.

"Bubba, I'm really scared. I've heard the footsteps, but... never this." I can hear the fear in her voice.

"I know. I'm gonna go turn off the shower, I don't want it running. I'll be right back. Pookie." I say, releasing my arms from her waist and throwing the sheets off me.

"Ok. Hurry please." She says. I nod in response before hoping out of the bed and creeping over to the door. I shiver slightly at the cold air, considering I'm only in boxers. I can feel Liza's eyes on me, watching me closely.

I reach the door, and the for the first time since I moved out to LA, I realize my hand is shaking as I reach for the handle. I turn it slowly, as if I don't want to see what's on the other side. And, if I'm being honest, I really don't want to see what's on the other side of the door.

I muster enough courage to open the door. "God dammit." I say, feeling the anger boil up inside of me.

"What is it?" Liza asks, coming over to where I'm standing. I wrap my arm around her waist, holding her close.

"Zane and Heath." I say, glaring at the two people snickering in front of us. "Turn off my shower. You're running up my bill."

"You're the one that can pay it, baby." Zane says, reaching over to turn off the shower.

"Yea, I can. But I don't wanna." I say, sounding like a baby.

"What are you guys doing here?" Liza asks while Heath shoves a camera in our faces.

"Pranking you. Elton's in the attic. We got you so good!" Heath says, doubling over from laughter.

"How long have you guys been here?" I ask, moving out of the doorway and allowing them to leave the bathroom.

"Long enough to see the nasty things you two do." Zane looks me in eye, giving his famous look.

"We did nothing. And you're not using that footage." I look down at Liza who's yawning into my chest.

"Why not? We planned this a month in advance!" They both whine, throwing their hands up.

"One, we're both in pajamas. Two, you woke us up. And three, I never said you could come into my house while my girlfriend and I are sleeping." 

"Fine, but I'm not deleting the footage. You two are cute while you're sleeping."

I yawn, wanting to fall asleep again. I can feel Liza falling asleep in my arms. "Get out. We're trying to sleep. And this footage is never uploaded. Period."

Liza yawns again, slumping farther into my arms. "Liza, go to bed. I'll be right there, ok?" I say softly and kiss her forehead. She nods and makes her way back to the bed, falling asleep as soon as her head hits the pillow.

I shoo the boys out to the foyer, pushing them out the door. "Get Elton out of my attic. I would rather him not spend the night there." I grumble as I close my front door, leaving then staring at me through the glass as I make my way back to the master bedroom.

I climb in next to Liza, and she instinctively cuddles into my chest. "Bubba, is that you?" She asks, sleep lacing her voice.

"Yea, let's go back to bed." She reaches up and kisses me quickly before falling back asleep in my arms.
