Still Here

powers out

After eating our pizza we all just layed around the living room talking about what's to come.
Dad , mentioned he will be working nights starting next week. We're used to it,I was just hoping we'd get a bit more time with him in the house before it started.

After our talk ,we all scattered to our own rooms. My favorite part of moving...unpacking.

Ugh... if only I could snap my fingers and BAM all done.. I let out a little giggle at just the thought.

Throwing my long black hair into a messy bun, I head to the box labeled hygiene products. Needing all my stuff out and ready for when I shower to wash all the moving sweat off.

Bout two hours later im on my last box of clothes. Needless to say ,I stopped several times and danced around my room to my now unpacked Bluetooth speaker.

I play motionless in white, having in another life on repeat. Currently my favorite song.

Finally finishing, I grab my hygiene products and a over sized shirt and boy shorts. Im ready for a hot shower.

Before heading to the bathroom ,I close my window and curtains.
Walking down the hall I notice every step I take i can hear the floor creak. Im sure my brother will have a field day with this. He loves to find any noise making ways to aggravate me.

Rolling my eyes internally at the thought, I close the door to the bathroom and turn the shower on hot.

The bathroom feels ice cold on my bare feet. I make a mental note to buy a bathroom rug, I hate waking up to go pee and having my feet touch the cold tile floor.

Undressing I feel wind blowing from somewhere. I instantly cover my frontal bits. A feeling of someone watching me washes over me. I look around,seeing that no one is there I let my guard back down.
Before stepping into the shower I see the curtain rise up and wind hit my naked skin , an aggressive shiver runs through me.
I step back out and walk to the small window. Peaking through the curtain I see that the window is wide open.

Why would this window be open?
Dad or seb must have opened it ,when we first got here and forgot to close it.

I know we opened all the other windows in the house to air this place out. It had an old musky scent, could really tell its been a long time since anyone has been here.

Closing and locking the window I return to the hot oasis of my first shower in this place. The steam and hot water relax all my tense muscles.

I grab for my apple butter body wash and proceed to dance around the shower enjoying my time.

Once im finished and brushed my teeth. I plug my hair dryer in and push on. t
he lights begin to flicker several times and then I hear a loud Zapp.

The lights go off completely. I guide my hands on the wall to feel for the light switch. Since this is still a new place I haven't got my bearings of where everything is located.

My hand feels the switch but as I figured I must have short circuited the power with my hair dryer.

"Dad??" Peaking my head from the bathroom door.

"Yeah, baby I'm on it.The power went out in the whole house." Dad yelled from somewhere down stairs.

"Be a doll and check on seb please. You know he doesn't like the dark." Dads voice begins to fade out as he must be walking further away.

"Sebastian, you there? I cant see anything." I put my hand on the wall and guide myself towards the bedrooms.

I feel the first door and open it, hoping it was his but I just opened a linen closet.
