Chloe

Hell in one phrase would be this: the situation we are in right now.

There is clearly a person outside the kitchen and I haven't a clue in the universe how we are supposed to get out of here without being seen. I don't trust that person that is outside because even after only a few moments of talking to Bradley and then seeing that person I'm getting really bad vibes. It seems like they are there to harm us. Not necessarily physically, but maybe emotionally or verbally or any other type of bad situation you could think of.

I bit down really hard on my bottom lip and kept crouched on the down low next to Bradley. He widened his brown eyes at me and frowned as he tilted his head in the direction of the window. It was hard to be sure if the person was close enough to hear us or if the windows were soundproof or anything so he mumbled quietly, "What do we do Chloe?"

I shrugged my shoulders and rested my hands on the top of my knees, feeling the stretch of my weight against the back of my legs. It didn't exactly feel very good because I normally don't exert this much force on myself. I winced a bit and closed my eyes as I considered some options for us.

We could try to quickly run out the back way, but then we'd definitely be on the chase and I have no clue what type of equipment, or vehicle, or whatever else this guy has with him. We could also just stay in place for the rest of the night and hope that this guy would get the message or freeze to death or something so that we'd be left alone. Finally, the third option I could think of was to just talk to the guy and get everything over with now so we didn't have to worry.

Opening my eyes up again slowly, I lifted up a hand and lightly wiped my eyes. A bit of water, almost tears, but not quite, had escaped from the worrying and fright I'd been experiencing over the past day.

I turned a bit and faced Brad again before speaking up quietly. "Sawyer and I can slowly escape out the door, granted we'd have to be slow so the guy doesn't notice. Then you guys can open up the door and see what the creeper is doing. Maybe you can talk to him and get him to leave because no matter who he is he's honestly being super scary right now."

I inhaled a sharp breath as I saw him shake his head before he spoke up himself. "No. you guys cannot leave. It's too risky especially when you're the only girl and I know the guy can see us fairly well. I'm sure he's already spotted you and got a headcount so he'd be freaking out. Especially if he's bad. If he's just walking around and creeping it might not be so bad of a situation but still. We cannot afford to risk anything right now."

Before I frowned I thought about it for a minute and then I nodded my head. I guess Brad was right. If anybody knew anything about hiding out it'd be him and Asher anyways. They've been the ones doing that for a while. Even if it was only from fans. I glanced over at the rest of the boys and they were all nodding their heads in agreement with Brad.

Skyler got up from his perch next to Colby and walked over to the door. He gave the door a hard tug and pulled it slack toward the wall so that it was possible for a person to get through. I could hear a rough jump before I saw Skyler dust off the bottom of his jeans and salute us from down where he was. He spoke up loudly to the guy so that it was possible for the rest of us that were still inside the house to hear him.

"Who are you?" He questioned loudly, sticking his hands within the pockets of his jeans.

We could hear no words or mumbles of any sort from where we were positioned; all we could do is see what was going on. The guy that was down there placed his hands over Skyler's mouth, effectively muting him, before he walked up toward the house, dragging Skyler all the way inside and slamming the door once he was positioned directly in front of us.
