WHO'S IN THE CLOSET?

This chapter contains bad language.

My brother Felix, Calvin and I always mess around, ever since we were small both me and them have fought each other but I always hang out with Felix more.

Another thing we do is hiding in small spaces or behind doors, to scream the other one. After we moved to a new house we have grown a little bit more mature. My brother is two years older than me but we still do the stupid things.

When we moved into a new house I got a walking closet, new desk and a couch. Sometimes my brother comes into my room to watch YouTube with me while I'm drawing or playing online games. He always takes a seat in my bed or my couch and I sit in my chair. He wants to watch our favorite YouTuber we have in common and draw.

This night were on it's way to look like that but when we suddenly starting to fight. He made me angry and as a problematic teenager, I went out of my room and relaxed. My brother had let our cat in so I started to play with her.
It was midnight and my olderbrother went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. I saw the oppurtinity to hide from him.
First, I thought about my walking closet but that would be too obvious. When he took too long to get ready I ran to the living room and hid in a corner, behind a dining table.

I looked through the darkness between the chairs to see him. I heard him locking up the bathroom door, go inside my room and then it went quiet. I have a lot of patience, so I waited for him for about five minutes. He said he was going to bed, he closed his door but he came out again to look for me.
I sat in the corner, with my cat beside me, I started to pet her but she got scared and ran away. I could hear heavy footsteps come my way, so I sat myself up to hide my legs from him. His flashlight lit up the whole room but he didn't see me.

I started to breath out and tried to not laugh, how dumb could he be, he would've seen me. I looked through the chairs and he went back to my room. I heard the couch making a sound, so I assumed that he took a seat.

After waiting for a couple of minutes, I heard him yelling at me to come out of the closet. I could feel how my heart was stuck in my throat.
"Alissa! Get out of the fucking closet, I can hear you laugh!" he screamed.
I started to breath heavily and looked above the dining table and saw him going out of my room. I got up from my hiding spot and walked towards him, he heard my footsteps and turned around.
"WHAT THE FUCK?" he said.
"Wh-at do you mean by... get out of the closet?" I asked him.
"There was noises coming from your closet... please tell me the cat's in there or Calvin." he said.
"No. No. No. You must be kidding with me! I hid in the living room!" I said and started to panic. I could feel my throat starting to hurt and how I just wanted to scream and cry, when we suddenly hear a knock.

Both Felix and I went quiet. I looked at Felix with tears in my eyes as he said "There's someone outside the window."
