When we got to his house my eyes widened, it was huge! It had a gate and everything. I got out of the car and went to grab my bag but Patrick already had it. Then we walked in the house and my jaw dropped. I had never been in a place with nice furniture or even a television set.

"You ok there?" Patrick chuckled and walked towards the kitchen.

I took a seat at the counter.

"Your house is amazing!"

"*Our." He corrected me with a smug smile on his face.

"You want something to eat? I'm thinking eggs." He said.

"Sure, I'm starving." I replied.
He started cooking and then the phone rang.
"Could you get that by any chance?" Patrick asked me.
"Sure,where is it?" I asked.
He nodded to the wall farthest to the room.
"Just say stump residence when you pick up." he said while finishing the eggs.
I went to the phone and picked it up.
"Stump residence." I said forgetting to look at the caller ID.
"Patrick?" A manly voice said. Do I say I'm Patrick's daughter?
"Uh no this is Ellie, who's this?"
"Ellie? Uh could you let me talk to patrick please?"
"Yeah of course."
I put my hand on the phone and looked at Patrick who was looking at me.
"It's for you." I said handing him the phone.
"Hello? Ohhh hey Joe. Yeah that was her, or your here? Yeah I'll open the gate just come on in."
He got off the phone and looked at me.
"They're here." he said and smiled smugly. He then handed me my plate.
I took a bite of eggs and gulped.
We both sat at the kitchen counter just eating our eggs. Then the door slammed open and I heard someone yelling.
"PATRICK YOU BETTER HIDE HER BECAUSE WE'RE HERREEE." a playful voice yelled.
"Here in here." Patrick said pointing to a cabinet laughing.
I got in the cabinet and he handed me the eggs.
"Finish those" he chucked.
He then shut the cabinet and I heard footsteps. I tried eating the eggs but my heart was pounding.
"So where is she?" I heard.
"Where's who?" Patrick questioned.
"The kid where's the kid?"
"Oh she's hiding, I told her what monsters you are."
"Well better she knew before we came, cmon boys lets search."
"If I was a kid where would I hide" another voice said.
I heard the footsteps trailing away. I managed to eat most of the eggs when the cabinet door opened and startled me. I saw Patrick who was signaling me to shh and he took my plate smiled and shut the door. I suddenly heard the footsteps again.
"Where the hell is she-hey! That plate wasn't here before. she's in here isn't she?" I soon heard other cabinets opening it was only a matter of time until mine was opened. I started look for a way out but I was under a kitchen sink where the hell was I supposed to go. My thoughts were interrupted by footsteps getting closer and closer I started pushing back as far as I could and realized this was a lot bigger than I thought it was. I turned around to see another cabinet I opened it and started going in and was halfway in until the door of mine opened.
"GOTCHA" then I was grabbed quickly before I could escape.
"No!" I couldn't help but laugh.
I was being held in the air by some guy I didn't even know.
"Alright hands off my kid, I don't need her getting broken" Patrick chuckled while taking me back. He said "my kid" woah this is weird.
"Ellie." he said "this is pete Andy and joe."
"Hi." I waved sheepishly.
Pete had been the one doing all of the yelling I realized.
"How old are you?" Joe asked.
"Sixteen but I'll be seventeen in December." Implying that it was five months away.
"We've never had a kid around this'll be fun." Pete said.
"Why don't we all go out for lunch?" Patrick suggested. "you still hungry?" He asked me.
I just nodded, I was very shy around people I didn't really know.
"I'll drive." Andy said.
"Shotgun!" Pete said racing out the door.
Oh man this should be interesting.
