The House.

The Night Out.

I shut my bedroom door walking over to my bed. I have managed to unpack and organize everything in the past 2 hours. Tonight is the night me and Ang are going out to eat with Chad. Hes seems sweet, attractive, welcoming. But somthing seems off about him. I walk over to my small closet and pick the only nice dress I have. Im not that much of a "Dressy girl" I prefer layed back. Its nothing fancy just a white long sleeve lace flowy dress Ang got me for my last birthday. I lay it on my bed and grab my converse. I walk into the bathroom looking at myself in the mirrior. A pair of dull eyes looking back at me. I sigh and turn the shower on hopping in Ang left about a couple minutes ago to pick up some food and etc. for the house. Im in the middle of humming a song before I hear glass.shatter. I widen my eyes and turn the water off qucikly. I stand there for a moment listening to hear if someone was in the house. Nothing. I quickly step out of the shower wrapping myself in my towel opening my bathroom door a crack. Only to see my bedroom window broken glass everywhere and a rock with a peice of paper on it. I furrow my eyebrows. I open the door and walk to the window careful not to step on any peices. I peek my head outside the now broken window looking around only seeing the calm looking woods. I pull the curtain down and look down at the rock picking it up. I turn it over reading the small note.

"Dont let him trick you. Im coming soon" Written in sloppy cursive writing.

I take the note and crumple it and throw it in the trash bin.

After I slip my dress on and throw my hair in a simple pony tail I sweep up the glass that was on the floor and throw  in the bin. That was the weirdest thing ever im actually kinda scared. What if its a stalker? Know one knows me here though except the Chad guy. And he only met me this morning. I try to push the thoughts away and explore the house until Ang gets back. I take my phone checking the time 6:08pm. I put it back on the counter and walk towards the basement. I open the old wooden door and make my way down the stairs. I reach the bottem step and look around 2 couches and a bar are set up. Along with bar stools. And many boxes everywhere. It looks really old. I walk towards the the book shelf with books stacked neatly against each other. I carefully pick up one named "room 199" I blow the dust off and open it. As i begin to read the first line I hear a door slam and i jump dropping the old book.

"Ginger im ready lets go meet Chad!!" Ang yells I sigh and pick up the book and jog up the stairs. And meet Angies eyes at the top of the stairs.

"Oh you look gorgeous Ang." I say looking at her tall model like body fitted in a lace flowery strapless dress and tan flats her hair curled perfectly. She looks at me confused.

"Why where you in the basement? And whats that?" She says her facial expression serious as she points to the object im holding.

"Well geez. Um i was exploring the house. And i found one of my books ive must of placed it in the wrong box. Found it" I say making up a excuse holding the book tightly to my side. She gives me one more glance and turns around.

"Ok. Well Chad is waiting better be on are way. Dont want to keep him waiting."  I nod and place the book in my sling bag. Along with my phone. We walk out the front door and to my beaten up old jeep. I climp in the drivers seat. I wait for Ang to spark up a conversation. But it dosnt come. I look over to her before starting the car. Shes just looking straight forward to the front door.

"Hey ang what are you looking at?" I say shaking her shoulder. She quickly whips her head to my direction.

"Drive" She says camly.

I look at her confused and look to the door. I see a sticky note on the door. I squint to see clearly.

"Drive!"Ang yells looking at me obviously mad.

I am taken back and start the car and back out of the big driveway. I start driving down the lonley road. I glance at ang and shes typing furiously on her phone. I sigh and look straight forward. Were driving to this place called "Tangos" Ang said it has great food since she came to visit back before we even moved here from america. And she told Chad we would meet him there. I feel like she knows him a lot. Even though we just moved here today

and met him today.

"So what happend to your window" She asked like she didnt just freak out on me a few moments ago.

"Nothing. Some kid threw a rock through it with a dumb note on it. Trying to sike me out. I hate kids." I say irritated that I now have to buy a new one. She looks at me eyes wide.

"Oh my god. Weird." She says looking at me to back to her phone going back to texting somthing on her phone eyes furrowed. I tap my thumb against the steering wheel. I see a figure on the side of the road. Just standing there. I squint my eyes but it quickly disappears. Illusions i say in my head. There just illusions. We reach Tangos and walk inside trying to find Chad. We see him at a booth. Ang waves to him

"Chad!!" She says happily going to hug him he hugs back quickly. I stand there awkwardly until I speak up.

"Hello Chad" I say being friendly sliding into the booth across from him. Ang sliding in Chads booth.

"Hello Ginger!" He says smiling at me.

I feel like a third wheel to be honest.

"So how are you both enjoying your first day in your new house. New country. New everything" He says laughing showing his dimples.

"Its very quiet. But nice I guess." I say shrugging my shoulders. Ang glances at me but quickly looks to Chad

"I love it. The house is perfect. And I just am in love with it." She says really fast smiling at Chad.

"Hello welcome to Tangos any drinks?" A blonde male obviously irish says to us all.

"Water with lemon please" Ang says smiling.

"Coke" Chad says

And then he looks to me I look through the drinks

"um lemon tea sounds good to me." He writes the orders down and smiles at me and walks away. I check my phone and have 1 unread message from unknown. I quickly open it.

'Im outside. ' ~H

My heart sinks down to my stomach. I drop my phone. And i begin to get a sick feeling in my stomach.

"Are you ok ginger?" She askes confused. I quickly bend town to collect my phone. And look up to Chad and Ang looking worried.

"Um yeah. Sorry my phone died and i accidently dropped it." I say assuringly.

I didnt even realise how lame the excuse was. They nod their heads and continue talking. I wonder how this H got my number I put my phone in my bag as my eyes drift to the blonde male bringing are drinks he puts them down along with my tea. He looks at all of us

"And to eat? Are special today is Crispsalad. With a side of soup." He says smiling lightly.

"Ill have the special" Ang says

"Same for me sir" Chad says

"Um just a salad for me please" I ask stuttering. He looks to me confused for my stuttering but quickly changes it to smiling at us and walking off. I sigh im so confused. Who is this guy.

"Excuse me but im going to use to bathroom." I say standing up and walking towards the front door. Getting.ready to see for myself who this dick is.I push open the door welcomed by the cold air in my face. I look around but all I see is cars and buildings. I wrap my arms around myself and turn around ready to walk back inside but i bump into someone.

"Sorry" I mumble opening the door i didnt get a chance to see who it was because of how cold it was.

"Its ok Ginger" A males voice says his voice smoothing and sweet sounding. I whip my head around only to see he was gone. How did he know my name?

Could he be H?
