The art of being alone

Chapter 5

                Its midnight and I'm far from falling asleep. Dawn is passed out again and has sprawled across the bed." How can she sleep when we are in a locked room inside a crazy guy's house?!" I think to myself. He is most definitely crazy because he kidnap me and Dawn to get us back for spray painting his car, LIKE YOU TOOK IT TOO FAR BUDDY!

                I get up off the bed and check the door again. Still locked. I stand for a moment thinking the situation through, maybe if there was a window or something we could climb out.

                I look around the room and see no windows. " Maybe the bathroom!" I tell myself as I'm already running and opening the door. I quickly pull away the curtains of the shower and find a small window just big enough for a girl to fit through. Its open " doofus " I laugh shaking my head, but then I look out and see we are two stories up. A fall from this height would break your legs.

                Stepping back I walk out into the room and its only twelve thirteen. I sigh, there is no way we can get out of here.

                " Crazy son of a gun " I grunt in frustration. I barely even know him yet he has thrown water balloons at me asked me out on a date and kidnapped me all in a matter of three days.

                Being held hostage in a hot lunatic's house is something that is supposed to only happen in movies, but hey, I've already broken more than a few rules today so why not  break another?

                I pace the room for about an hour trying to figure this out, obviously we cant leave out the door because its locked.... unless we have a key!

                Quickly I run to the door and search the top ledge where the framing sticks out just a little bit. I run my hand along it, picking up dust and dirt but nothing else. " Come on Come on " I whisper to myself as I bend down to check the hinges when Dawn gets up and hands me a small copper key that looks like it would fit perfectly.

                " Oh thanks I didn't know you were awake" I say looking up at her. She shrugs " I was asleep until you woke me up with your loud mouth" she says crankily.

                I roll my eyes and fit the key into the door turning it slowly...until...* click * I push the door open and stop.

                " What are you waiting for?" Dawn's eyes dart quickly across the hall " Is one of those guys out there?" she whispers. " About that, the weird masked figures are actually Isaac and Lance." I say. She stares at me with a frown, " That's not funny Janice" I move closer so that no one will hear us " I'm telling the truth, while you were asleep Isaac showed me it was him!" I whisper yell. Dawn is frozen for a second " Well then I'm gonna kill those two" she says with a glare that could burn holes even through my soul.

                We tiptoe out the hall and I hear a voice coming from one of the rooms. Quietly I put my ear to the door " So dude when is your dad gonna be back?" * car screeches * " I don't know sometime Tuesday?" * sirens * " Tuesday?! We could throw party!" *tire squeals* " HA high score! You little..." I lift my head back up to miss this part of the conversation and continue down the hallway, motioning Dawn to follow me forward.

        We start to descend the stairs and are halfway to the dining hall when the bedroom door opens revealing Lance in boxers and a shirt. I puke in my mouth and dive under the table, Dawn follows and we both tuck our knees up so he doesn't see.

                I have to cover my mouth to keep from throwing up as He goes into the kitchen and grabs a can of soda.

                He passes and doesn't even glance down at us. Dawn lets out a sigh of relief and we slowly get up when there is a very cute Isaac in basketball shorts and a ripped Tee-shirt, that walks down the hallway and stops by the door of the room we were sleeping in.
