Unbreakable (Book 2)

Chapter 22: Haunted House~

"No."
"Come on Sadie! Its not that bad!" Alex.
"Maybe not for you!" I say.
"Please!" Zach says.
"No way!"
"We'll buy you ice cream after." Robert persuades.
"Nice try." I say crossing my arms.
"Please Sade, for me. Just once and thats it. You wont have to do it ever again." Austin says.
"I said no."
"I'll be by you the whole time, i wont leave your side."
"Im not giving in. Why do you guys even want me to go to the haunted house anyways?" I ask.
"Because it will be fun!" Zach says.
"Not for me! You guys know i cant stand scary stuff!"
"But its halloween!" Alex says.
"I don't care! Halloween is the worst holiday ever!" I say.
"We can go to one right here in the neighborhood." Robert says.
"It doesn't matter where we go, my answer is no." I say then go to my room and slam the door.
"Sadie." Dad says.
"Sorry." I say.
After a few minutes of just sitting on my bed i go on my laptop. Why cant they just go without me? Then theres a knock on my door.
"Come in." I say.
Austin comes in.
"Sade-"
"Im not going in the haunted house."
I interrupt.
"Come on! Just once!"
"No Austin! I don't think you understand how much i hate scary things." I say.
"No i dont because you've never done or seen anything scary in your life!"
"Theres a reason for that!"
"Please Sade."
"Why do you want me to go so bad?"
"Because your my girlfriend and i want you there with me."
"Thats not a good reason."
"Sade you would only be doing it once. After that we wont get you to do anything else you don't want to. But they are actually pretty fun." He says.
"Fine! There happy? Im going." I say.
He smiles.
"Now get out." I say.
He leaves. I lay back on my bed. This is going to be the worst night of my life. After a bit its time to go to the haunted house.
"Im so not looking forward to this." I say as we walk out the door.
We reach the haunted house in our neighborhood. Even the outside looks really scary.
"Is it too late to change my mind?" I ask.
"Yup." Alex says.
I groan.
"I hate ya'll." i say.
"Hey, you didn't have to come." Austin says.
"Oh don't even! You say that now but if we were still back at home you would be begging for me to come and not giving me a choice." I say.
"Can we just go in already?!" Robert says.
I sigh. Austin takes my hand.
"I swear if you let go of my hand and we get separated I'm going to hurt you." I say.
"I wont let go," he says then kisses the top of my head, "i promise."
We start to go through the house, and Austin was right it not as scary as i thought, ITS WORSE! I hate them so much. So i basically scream the whole time and end up crying. When we finally get to the end I'm so relieved.
"There. Now you understand how much i hate scary things." I say, still tears in my eyes.
I let go of his hand and start to run back home, not wanting to talk to any of the boys. I get home and go straight to my room and lock the door. Im not speaking to any of them. After a bit i hear the front door open and close. Then i hear footsteps coming up the stairs. Then a knock on my door.
"Sade?" I hear Austin say.
I don't answer.
"Sade, we're sorry."
No they're not. They were probably laughing as i ran off.
"We got you ice cream." He says.
I don't even budge.
"Please Sade, open the door."
Not happening. I hear him sigh.
"At least say something."
Nope.
"Goodnight Sade. I love you." He says.
Then i hear him walk away and his bedroom door close. I get ready for bed and then get in bed. I don't get any sleep though. How am i supposed to with all these images i have in my head of all the scary things i saw in the house. So i stay up, reading and being on my phone and doing other things to get my mind off the images.

Finally its the morning. Its been a long night and i didn't get any sleep whatsoever. This was seriously the worst thing the boys have ever made me do. I really need some coffee but i really don't want to see any of the boys. But i go get coffee anyways, deciding that if any of the boys talk to me i'll just ignore them. I go out of my room and downstairs. I quickly get coffee then head back to my room. I close and lock the door then set my coffee down on my dresser. I look up and see Austin standing in here. I look at him the go to the door, but he gets in front of me before i can unlock it.
"Sade please talk to me." He says.
I cross my arms.
"Okay fine. But just listen, your right, now i understand how much you hate scary things and i wont make you do or see anything scary ever again." He says.
I raise an eyebrow as if to say "is that all?"
"Theres a first time for everything, if you spend your whole life staying away from things that you think you don't like your life is going to be boring. Sometimes you have to take risks. And wouldn't you rather take them with me than by yourself? And someone has to be there to push you to take those risks. Sade, i would never make you do anything that would put you in danger, cant you understand that?" He says, stepping closer.
"I didn't get any sleep last night." I say after a while.
"You could have come slept with me." He states.
"I was mad at you." I say.
"Was?" He asks.
"And still am." I say turning.
"If you are still mad at me then you would have said 'because I'm mad at you' first." He says stepping in front of me again.
"Im still mad at you." I say.
"So if i were to kiss you right, now you wouldn't kiss me back?" He asks.
"What does that have to do with-"
He pulls me close and kisses me. Honestly i wish i couldn't kiss him back but he's so hard to resist.
"See you kissed me back that means your not still mad at me." He says.
"So i kissed you back? That doesn't mean anything. Im still mad at you."
"No your not." He says.
"Yes i am."
"No your not."
"Yes. I am."
He kisses me again. I pull away.
"Stop that." I say turning the other way.
"Why? Because you want to be mad at me but its hard to when we're kissing?" He asks.
"Shut up!" I say.
"Why? Because I'm right?"
"Austin!"
"You cant stay mad at me Sade."
I cross my arms.
"Watch me." I say then open my door and gesture for him to get out.
"Your making a big deal out of nothing."
"Maybe i am but i don't care. Now get out." I say.
"Hey whats going on here?" My dad asks coming up to us.
"Nothing." I say at the same time Austin says. "Sadie is mad at me."
"Why are you mad at him?" He asks.
"Its really not that big of a deal. We can work this out on our own Dad." I say.
"Okay. Its just so rare to see you actually mad at him." He says then walks off.
"So you want yo work it out huh?" Austin says.
I twist my lips to the side.
"Promise you'll never make me see anything scary ever again?" I ask.
"Pinky promise." He says holding out his pinky.
I roll my eyes and smile.
"Dork." I say the hook my pinky with his.
He smiles.
"So want to take me to get ice cream?" I ask.
"Absolutely." He says.
He grabs his keys and we go to the ice cream store, and yes we go in our pjs.
