Athasagoraphobia

Chapter Seven

It was a week ago when the two high school girls asked me to be apart of their party. I spent the time doing a couple gigs at the club and mostly hanging out with Blake. With each passing second Blake and I grew closer together. We did everything together.

"Max! Get your lazy ass out of bed, it's Halloween!" Blake screams from some where in the house, before his foot steps could be heard running in the direction of my bedroom. I groaned as I slowly pulled myself into a sitting position just as Blake barges into my room.

"Yes it is Halloween, but what does that have to with me getting up early?" I mumbled out as I flopped back down on the bed and pulled the blanket over my head. "We have a busy day! It is a costume party, so we need to get you something sexy to wear!" Blake whispered into my ear, causing me to laugh, I pulled the blanket back down.

"I'll pass on the costume." I stated, getting out of bed and making my way to the bathroom. "Girl you are funny if you think you have a say in it. Get dressed because we are leaving here in about an hour!" He declared leaving my room, letting me do my business in peace.

"And if you are not out of the shower in 15 minutes, I'll break in there and drag your wrinkly ass out here." He threatened, causing me to laugh. I knew he would do something like that so I made sure to take a quick shower.

After my shower I got dressed in some warm clothes, I didn't bother blow drying my hair, I just brushed it and left it as it is. "Okay Blake, lets get this over with. First I need breakfast!" I declared just as my stomach grumbled loudly.

We walked into a little dinner, ordering our food for take out. "I thought more people would be out and about on Halloween." I stated as I looked around outside. "Everyone is still dealing with the tragic event of that night, they prefer to stay inside and safe." Blake explain before stopping in the middle of the side walk.

I looked back at him as he looked down in confusion. "What's up?" I asked, stuffing my face with the breakfast sandwich I bought. "How did I not realize it!" He shouted as he slapped his forehead with his hand.

"One of those girls last weekend was Laurie! The sister of Michael Myers." He stated in a hush tone, at the end both of our eyes were wide. "I mean, at least she trying to get passed that and move on with her life." I mumbled as I shrugged my shoulders.

"I don't know Laurie at all, but that just doesn't seem like something she would do. Like really a party on Halloween night?" Blake exclaimed before dropping the subject by shrugging his shoulders.

"Well lets get this over with." I groaned out as we stopped in front of the costume shop. A group of little kids ran in as their parents slowly moped behind them. Blake giggled as he grabbed me by the wrist and dragged me into the store.

I decided to go with a pirate costume, I didn't want anything that was to revealing and besides it was the end of October, it is to cold out to wear something slutty. Blake wasn't happy with my choice, he begged me to wear the skimpy playboy bunny outfit. In the end I won of course.

Blake choose something that wasn't really revealing either, and he looked really good in it as well. He choose the mask hero named Westley on The Princess Bride.

When we were both satisfied with our costume, we left the shop and headed back to my house. "I was debating on asking you if I could stay the night after the party." Blake stated causing me to raise an eyebrow at him. "Oh yeah, and your point is?" I asked.

"I don't want to third wheel it in on your couch if you bring home someone. You do seem like someone who would scream in bed." Blake explain, making me eyes go wide as I smack his shoulder playfully.

"I am definitely not bring home anyone." I exclaimed loudly as I laughed. "You say that now, come on girl lets go get ready to get crazy tonight!" Blake yelled loudly, getting glares and stares from by passers.

"Wow it is kind of lame." Blake mumbled as we arrived at the old barn right outside of town. We walked through the open field passing a couple of people as we made our way to the stage. "It is still early, not everyone will arrive a couple hours early." I stated as Blake helped me hull my equipment up on the stage.

"Oh you are here! Great costumes!" The brunettes named Katie shouts as she runs up to us. She was wearing the typically nurse costume. "Here is the first half, I'll give you the last half if you stay the whole time." Katie stated right before she ran away to go talk to a guy in a prince costume.

I counted the money and pocketed it before looking at Blake. I wiggled my eyebrows with a big grin on both of ours faces. "Ain't nothing like hosteling a bunch of teenagers." Blake whispered before laughing. "Shut it and help me set this up." I declared with a smile on my face.

With Blakes help I was able to get everything ready in less then 15 minutes. "Come on, lets go look around!" Blake shouts, grabbing me by the arm and dragging me towards the barn. "What's so cool about seeing the inside of a barn." I asked once we slowed down to a stop inside of the barn.

"Don't make fun of me but I have never been inside a barn before." Blake mumbles out, causing me to snicker a little. After a couple minutes of looking around the barn, Blake lets out a girly scream from behind me.

"Holy shit man!" Blake cries out before laughing a little. I ran over to him and see a man in a blue mechanic suit and a white worn out eerie mask. "Really dude? I mean I like the costume, it is actually really scary but don't you think it is a little to soon to dress up like Michael Myers?" Blake asked, causing my head to snap back at the man standing before us.
