Escape

Chapter 2

Recap

She closed her eyes and fell asleep straightaway, I tried to think about One Direction, but the images of what could have happened in that house kept coming back to me, and I had a feeling that I wasn't going to get much sleep as I closed my eyes and let myself rest.

"Uhhh!" I groaned as I opened my eyes, only to be blinded by the sun. Katrina was right next to me looking peaceful while she slept... still! I glanced at the tiny alarm clock, to find that it had just gone 10:30am, I tried to nudge Katrina awake... nothing, I knew that she was a heavy sleeper, but I didn't realise she was this much of a heavy sleeper! "Katrina!" I whispered "Katrina!" I repeated "KATRINA!" I finally yelled at the top of my lungs, I was extremely surprised, when all I got for an answer was a light snore, and she rolled over. "TO HELL WITH THIS I'M GETTING A BUCKET OF ICE COLD WATER!" I spoke loudly... still, no reaction! I ran to the kitchen to grab a bucket, from underneath the sink and yanked on the handle to get it out. As soon as it was out, I filled it up with water... freezing cold water! I waited until it was full halfway and shut the tap off. I struggled getting up the stairs, nearly tripping on each and every step that I took. I made it to my room and opened the door "BOO!" yelled a very familiar voice. In shock, I screamed and the bucket launched into the air. Crap! I screamed out as the ice cold water hit me and the charcoal bucket landed next to me. I stood there frozen, to cold to move from where I was stood. I heard uncontrollable laughing as I looked over to my left, only to find... Katrina! "Your..." she spoke, but had to stop because she was laughing so hard "Your... your face... was p-priceless!" she began to cry in laughter. I shot her a deadly glare, as she suddenly looked serious and gulped. I managed to move my feet towards her, "Shit!" I heard her mumble... Ahhhh she was so totally going to get it now! I stopped just in front of her, she looked left and then right before unexpectedly running to the right of me and almost falling down the stairs, since she was going so fast. I quickly followed behind, hot on her heels as she continued speeding through different rooms that lead to yet more rooms. I closed the amount of space between us, as I pounced on her. We both crashed to the floor with an almighty thud, she tried to clamber back up, but I automatically jumped on her. I pinned her down as we both stared at each other breathing quick and heavy. I grabbed my hair, and rung it out, so all the left over water in my hair, which was a lot, soaked her face, she spluttered as I laughed. I climbed off her, and she got up shortly after, coughing and giggling slightly. "So you were awake the whole time?!" I asked "Well... yeah, I was... I thought that you would've figured that out by now!" She tutted "Oh, I'm sorry Miss 'Sassalott'!" I answered. For a straight 3 seconds, there was silence, pure and utter silence... until we both started laughing and just couldn't stop! We both fell to the floor, clutching our stomachs as we tried to calm down our laughing, though it wasn't working. After about... 4 minutes of laughing that couldn't really be stopped, we both went back to my room. I was about to say something to Katrina, when last night made its appearance in my mind. I gagged a little at the thought, the pictures in my head kept becoming more and more detailed with every second that went by. "Are you alright, you look a bit... ill" she asked "Yeah, perfectly fine" I lied while smiling "Your lying!" she replied "No I am not!" I spat "I can tell, I'm not stupid! We've been best friends for over 14 years!" she half yelled "Actually... 14 1\2, and... how can you see through me as though I'm like glass?!" I asked confused "Firstly, you don't have to be precise, and secondly... I can see through you as though you re like glass, since I know you inside out!" she commented "Prove it!" I said "Okay ask me any question about yourself!" she told me

"Whats my favourite colour?"

"Blue!"

"When's my birthday?"

"19th October" (just made it up)

"Do I prefer dresses or skinnys?"

"That's easy... skinnys!"

"Fine," I huff "Fine what?!" she asked, already knowing what I was going to say "You more or less know everything about me!" I said, looking her directly in the eyes "I know everything about you!" she yells "Stalker much!" I joke as we both giggle. Realisation hits me "WE'RE GOING TO SEE ONE DIRECTION IN TWO DAYS!" I scream. She gasps and then screams in excitement with me. "I'm hungry!" I suddenly brake the laughing "Niall will love you!" she says as we begin to walk down the stairs "Wait... hold on, I've always wanted to try this!" I say as I put my hand in the way of her going down the stairs. I sit sideways on the bannister "1...2...3!" I shout, I let go and start cheering and screaming, in a good way, as I reach the bottom successfully. "Your turn!" I shout up to her. She looks down at me horrified "Urrm... I think that I will just take the route that is meant to be taken... you know, the 10x safer option!" she says "Ok, but if you don't hurry up then I won't make you pancakes!" I reply "Noooo!" she whines as she comes sprinting down the stairs. Ha! no one wants to miss my pancakes!
