Readers POV
You woke up groggily. Your eyesight was blurry for a second before it began to clear. You looked around nervously at your surroundings. It was a small dirty basement with cement walls and wood floor. You tried to move your limbs but you couldn't. You looked down and saw yourself tied to a chair with scratchy rope.
"Hello?" You called out nervously.
You saw a shadow of a person move along a wall. The person came to the single light hanging on the ceiling. The person stepped forwards into the light and you saw him. You squinted your eyes at him.
"What the fuck?" You snapped.
Joey was standing in front of you wearing cameo pants and a black jacket. He was wearing his mask so you couldn't read his expression under his mask.
"Hello." He said casually.
You tried to move a little and the chair creaked.
"What have you done?" You demanded angrily.
"Oh I bet you know why you're here." Joey spat back.
You shook your head.
"Don't play dumb. Think hard and long and choose your next words carefully." Joey said.
You began to ponder why Joey decided to tie you to a chair in a dingy basement. Suddenly it clicked.
"Really?" You asked tiredly." You did all this for that?"
"Yes," Joey said proudly,"I did because that day it hurt me deeply, and I'll never forget it. This is simply pay back."
You rolled your eyes.
"You always did have a thing for being dramatic." You said.
Joey scoffed and he then took a seat. A seat on the wooden piano bench. A small piano was sitting there and Joey ran his fingers lightly over the keys.
"I can't believe you went out of your way to do all this because I missed your piano recital when we were kids." You said annoyed.
Joey might have been crying under his mask but you couldn't tell.
"It hurt me!" Joey yelled." And now you're going to listen to the ultimate piano recital and you're going to like it!"
You flinched a little. Joey sighed angrily and then began to press down the keys at random.
"Get ready for the best thing you'll hear." Joey snapped.
Joey began to play hot crossed buns.
