Say Goodbye

2

Once 7 O'clock rolls around Justin jogs down the stairs to wait in the kitchen for Ariana to get there "Now son don't drink too much and don't forget we are moving into the new house tomorrow s-" Justins' head shoots up so I'm now looking at his mother "Tomorrow? You said next weekend or longer" she begins shaking her head rapidly "No Justin I said that last weekend it is now Friday so you need to finish packing in the morning and I hope for your sake you don't have much to do" she says sounding angry as she leaves the room, hearing Ariana beeping her horn outside Justin gets up and walks to the front door "Bye mom" he shouts walking out to the car.

"Hey," Justin says taking a seat in the passenger side putting his belt on as Ariana begins driving to Sophies "so my mother just informed me that we're moving tomorrow not next week I got confused" taking her eyes off the road for a second Ariana gives me a confused look "wait seriously? Then should you not finish packing? Like instead of going out?"

"Nah I only have what's left in my dresser and my shower stuff left to pack so I can do that in the morning" she slowly nods her head leaning forward a little bit turning up the Radio "OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SONG" she shouts as Work From Home by Fifth Harmony starts playing.

Once they get to Sophies Justin quickly jumps out of the car running to the front door knocking until someone answers "My pee is cominggg" he says to Sophie as she opens the door "down the hall first door on your left" following her directions he runs to the bathroom. "I'm really sorry I couldn't hold it in any longer" Justin states as he takes a seat on the couch across from Sophie and Ariana "Right so let's get our drink on," Sophie says as she throws me a bottle of Bulmers.

"Hey guys" Justin turns his head to the right seeing Maya standing in the doorway "can I join" she turns her attention to Sophie and Ariana waiting for a response "No go aw-" Ariana puts her hand over Sophies' mouth to shut her up "of course you can, take a seat" Ariana says with a smirk on her face pointing at the seat next to Justin.

After about an hour and a half of them sitting, drinking and talking Sophie and Ariana were drunk while Maya and Justin were practically sober. "Remember when we were what was it like 8 and we decided it would be a good idea to go to the haunted house at the end of the road" Sophie asks before taking another mouthful of her drink "Oh my god I forgot all about that" Ariana adds causing Justin to roll my eyes at both of them "that was all in our heads" Sophie and Ariana both snap their heads around so they're now facing Justin instead of each other "Justin you know damn well that wasn't in our heads" he rolls my eyes again at Sophies' comment causing her to let out a scoff and turn back to Ariana.

"What actually happened in that house to make everyone think it was haunted?" Maya asks Justin with a confused look plastered on her face. He brings his hand up scratching the back of his neck feeling himself get nervous "well e-em the story is that the family that lived there the mother was psychotic, her name was Catherine, Catherine Johnson, but to the town she was known as Crazy Catherine" Justin feels a cold shiver run down his spine as he says her name "Why was she called Crazy Catherine? Like did something happen?" Maya asks as she turns her whole body towards Justin crossing her legs on the couch "yeah she wasn't always that way she suffered a miscarriage and her mother & father died in the same week, she wasn't able to cope with the grief and well it drove her to insanity. One night Catherine and her husband Paul were fighting, Paul said something that pushed Catherine over the edge and she took a knife from the kitchen drawer and stabbed him in the shoulder but then she took his gun from his belt, shooting him to finish him off. She then made her way up the stairs to her child's room. As her child sat there crying she lifted her arm pointing the gun at him and pulling the trigger the bullet went straight through his head killing him instantly, realizing what she had done she brought the gun to her own head and pulled the trigger, the gun was never found even 9 years later which makes people believe Catherine haunts the house to this day Ooooo" Justin begins tickling her sides to lighten the mood.

"I can't believe that house is for sale," Sophie says looking out the window causing Maya and I to stop messing "Who would ever live there" Sophie continues, Justin shrugs picking his bottle up bringing it to his lips taking a mouthful. It stays quiet for a few minutes until Maya breaks the silence by asking Justin a question "So even though you've experienced paranormal activity in the house you don't believe it's haunted?" he shakes his head in response "Nope, I mean we were young with huge imaginations and it's an old house so we were probably just hearing things" Ariana stands up and walks over to Justin "Whatever you say Justin" she pinches his cheeks before making her way to the bathroom.

Justin wakes up to Mayas' head on his shoulder and his head resting on hers "Awh young love" Ariana says letting out a sigh looking at them "No ew that's my sister" Sophie gags "Shut up the both of you" Justin whisper shout trying not to wake Maya. A few minutes of silence go by until Sophie decides to disturb the peace "MAYA" she shouts causing Maya to jump headbutting Justins' chin "Agh what? What happened?" she groans "Nothing I just wanted to wake you," Sophie says with a grin on her face, "Okay rude," Justin says as he rubs his chin. Maya lifts her head off his shoulder and scoots down the couch moving away from him "Pipe down lover boy" Sophie says throwing a cushion at him "Well I'm gonna head home and finish packing, Later gang".
