"They're dead." he stated.

Suddenly, I felt weak in my knees and my hands went numb. I didn't know what to say and my breathing went a little un-even. All I did was stutter and started sentences but never finished them. I couldnt spit out the words I wanted to say, mainly because I had trouble processing it.

"...Calum, I-"

"You dont have to say anything, really." He interrupted.

So, I stopped trying to speak to him and put the frame back from where I found it. The tension in the room made it hard for me to even breathe.

" I'll just give you some time alone...." I said awakwardly and left.

I ran down the stairs and I noticed all the stuff wasnt there in the rooms before.

I took deep breaths and pulled the ends of my hair. I silently cursed at myself for being so fucking stupid. I should have comforted him or i dont know, like say something or some shit to make him feel better.

The door bell ringed and it made me jump a little, I answered the door and I guess the other guys ordered pizza.

I couldnt even see the pizza guy's face. His hat that he was wearing covered it. He was tall and lanky. He sorta gave me the chills but i shook it off.

"28.50" he said.

Me, being a very dumb, but generous person paid for it myself. I couldnt find the rest of the group so I just set the pizza boxes down on the granite island in the middle of the kitchen.

I heard some laughing and yelling and looked out the backdoor and saw the rest of them playing tag, I think. I smiled at them being happy and then looked in the fridge for a beer.

I found some and felt a little hungry so I obivously went for the pizza. I opened the box and I instantly dropped the beer bottle in my hand. Moments later, I heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

I heard Calum breathing behind me but I couldnt move, I was so in shock.

"Malina, what the fuck happened?" He said while looking at the mess I made on the floor.

I slowly turned to him, my mouth hanging a little bit open, "Calum. Open that fucking pizza box and tell me you see, what i just saw."

His face went pale and Im guessing I was scaring the shit out of him.

He gently moved me out of the way and opened back up the pizza box.

" Shit.Shit.Shit.Shit.Shit. " I heard him curse under his breath.

Then, the rest of the gang came inside. All of them panting and laughing at the same time. Smelling like sweat but I still stood there.

"Mate, you missed it. Anna literally face planted the ground. It was hilarious." Michael laughed while he slung an arm over Calum's shoulders, but Calum just looked at the ground, staying silent.

Anna had some dirt on her face and she was red, "Shut the fuck up, Mike." she spat. They were all still laughing at her while she pouted.

Calum and I didnt say a word and it got silent real quick.

"Guys, whats wrong?" Luke said.

Calum didnt look up. I looked at them, and their eyes filled with concern.

I stepped aside and motioned my head toward the pizza boxes on the table.

"Oh great! You paid for the pizzas!" Michael cheered and opened up the box. "well shit."

"What?" Kim said, and went to go look at what Michael was cursing at.

One by one all of them soon saw what the hell was in the box. I tried processing it through my head but I still stood there, shaking.

Inside the pizza box, written in what seemed like blood, said:

That beyond the door,

and into the hall.

This was a house,

of No one at all.

No one breathed, nor laughed.

Nor ate,

Nor said, "I love."

Nor said "I hate."

Yet something walked

Along the stair,

Something that was,

and wasnt there.

Im watching you ALL.
