I start to walk downstairs, when I hear a branch break outside. I run down the rest of the stairs and take a left, into the living room.Taylor isn't there.
The popcorn should've already been done. The title screen for Scream is playing creepy music and it's starting to feel like I'm the only one here. I turn around to go look for her in the kitchen and practically run face first into her. We both scream.
"You scared me have to death!" We exclaim simultaneously.
"I left the room to put the popcorn on the side table and when I went back into the kitchen the back door was open. You didn't open it to scary me, right?" Taylor says really fast.
"No! I would never! I just came back down here from talking to my brother." I tell her.
"Rose! We talked about this! You know I don't like him!" She yells.
"No T! You talked, I listened.I'm not shutting my brother out. He's family for Christ's sake! Get a grip on reality Taylor!" I've had enough of her crap, but because we're yelling, neither of us heard or saw the kitchen window open and someone climb in.
The lights start to flicker. "Shit!" Taylor yells.
"T! Watch your mouth!"
"Oh please Rose. Don't act like you don't do it too!"
"I know I do, T! But my brother doesn't! Keep your mouth shut! Geez!"
As soon as I get the last syllable out, the power goes out.
"Help me find flashlights and candles." Taylor says.
"No, you work on that. I'm going to use my phone flashlight to find the electricity box," I say as I start to walk off. I turn around to face her, "Taylor?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm really sorry for yelling at you."
She smiles and gives me a big hug. "It's okay Rose!" I smile and go down to the basement to look for the electricity switchbox. I open it up and notice that the switches still say on. There must've been too big of a power surge. I flip the switches off and back on and I can hear the power start up again.
I take two steps on the stairs to the kitchen when I hear her scream. I run up the rest of the stairs, fearing the worst.
"Taylor! I'm coming!" I get to the top of the stairs and took a left towards the center of the kitchen. I'm hyperventilating now. By the door if the living room I see two people, not one. I can see Taylor's face, she looks like she seen a ghost. I can't see what the person in front of her looks like. It's clearly a guy though. He's wearing a blue hoodie, baggy jeans, and black and white Jordans.
She smiles and hugs him so I'm guessing it's her boyfriend Travis. I walk up to them and spin him around so I can see his face. The face I see is indeed Travis.
"You scared me half to death! Both of you did!" I yell.
"We're sorry okay? When the power went out and I heard you were yelling at each other I saw an opportunity to sneak in through your kitchen window!" Travis says frantically.
I look over at Taylor. I could see it in her face that she knew I was mad at her. I couldn't believe he would break into my house! I could call the cops on him and charge him of breaking and entering! Taylor walks up to me and places her hands on my arms right below my shoulders.
"I'm so sorry I scared you Rose! It's just, he snuck up behind me and picked me up. I thought someone was kidnapping me. I was genuinely terrified. I didn't mean to scare you Rose."
Her apology is sincere, I can't help but forgive her. I wrap her up in a hug.
"Let's all go watch a movie and try and get some sleep. Me and Taylor have a long day ahead of us." I say with a smile. Taylor looks over at Travis, takes his hand, and kisses his cheek. I look away and walk into the living room grabbing the popcorn off the table in the hallway on the way. I turn the TV back on and set the movie back up and I look to the left to call them over for the movie and they're making out in front of the stairs. I clear my throat but they don't stop.
"Seriously guys? You guys could go over to someone else's house to do that some other time, now come watch the damn movie!" Taylor looks over at me and can see me on the verge of tears. She knows how bad I want a boyfriend.
She walks over to me with Travis and tells me to play the movie. I smile and hit play.
