13 jacksonville road

Chapter 1 : sleep over

April the 21 second i was put through the worst pain imaginable. But before i get into all of that i'll tell you how this all started. It was a cold weekend and my friends and i decided to have some fun. we went out into the streets and scared people , we would run up to the door step and scream from the window. we thought we were the funniest people ever but little did we know we would run into a very strange individual. we had gone up and back down the street scaring everyone we could see. it was the last house 13 jacksonville road. we knocked on the door with out an answer and we knocked again and still no answer and we didn't think anything of it so we went around the back not knowing the trouble we would face. we leaped over the fence and fell hard on the ground really hurting our backs but we didn't care because we wanted to scare this person so bad they moved out of the street. we went into the back yard and my friend pulled me behind a wall. "wait i know these people" she whispered. i asked who they were and she told a big story about how once she got into trouble with the police because their son beat her up. the next day she apparently sent several threatening messages to him not thinking anything would happen but boy was she wrong. she had said to him that if that happens again she would shoot him with her fathers gun. i explained how insane those messages were but i also said that they weren't going to stop me from scaring them. i creeped around the wall to the back door. i knocked on the door then hid right next to it waiting for the person to come out. i probably should have asked my friend who they were before scaring them but i didn't so i can't go back now. i hear foot steps across the other side of the wall getting closer and closer but after a few seconds the door still didn't open. i went to go back to my friend but i peeked through the window and witnessed something that forever scared me. a bloody man standing over a dead body with a knife in hand. i quickly but quietly ran back to my friend in hope that the man didn't see me. she said that we had to leave right now and so we ran back to her house and jumped on her bed. she had told me that there was a kid in there as well that she didn't recognise. i dont really listen to what people say most of the time and it was the same with this situation. so what if she didn't recognise them if anything that's better. but she seemed pretty scared. anyway we went to sleep and woke up at around 7:30 the next morning to a loud scraping noise on her window. we ran out of the room and told her mum she said it was nothing but we were pretty sure it was something. her mum came into the room and pulled the blinds open turns out it was just the trees scraping on the window. we go out to eat a delicious breakfast her mum made. stacks of pancakes with as many options as you need for toppings like mapul syrup , ice cream , lemons , jam and much much more. i was so star struck at the fact of how much she actually made and i couldn't help myself from shoving as many down my throat as i could. 45 minutes go by and i'm absolutely stuffed i may have had a few too many but what ever it's not like i'm going to be sick or anything. ok so it's been 20 minutes and i've thrown up three times. i'm now getting dropped off at my house but her mum had a empty gas tank so we had to walk home. we went past 13 jacksonville road again completely forgetting about the night before when we heard a tapping on the window we looked over at the window and saw a crying girl. we rushed to the window to help her. she pulled up the window and said that her dad has been killing her family members but not her obviously. we told her to ask her dad if she could go to a friends house. we walked all the way back to my house and started talking. she introduced herself and said her name was Grace. she said that she had a sister ruby who lived just across the road. also i forgot to mention my friends name. her name is haylee. also my name is maddie. we talked for hours and finally decided that we would all stay at my house. we wanted to have a laugh that night to forget about what happened to Graces family so we invited the funniest person we know. jesse taylor. he walked over to my house and brought some snacks. we stayed out in the shed which we turned into an amazing hide out. after playing a few sleep over games like never have i ever and truth or dare i had found out that jesse had a crush on haylee. we told haylee about this and she said " no way really?" and she kept on saying that until jesse had the confidence to tell haylee how he felt. but really he did it over text in the same room as her. she said she would have a think for a while and after that "while" she told him she felt the same way and they started dating. for the rest of the night we watched movies and ate snacks and made funny videos. it was about 2:30 in the morning when grace fell asleep so we all decided to go to sleep. jesse woke up after only three hours of sleep and realised haylee wasn't there. he woke up me and grace and explained how worried he was. we listened to him and he said that he saw that the back door was open so we all went inside.
