Sheylia's P.O.V
After a few more rounds of Super Smash Bros, we all decide to watch some movies. I turn on my phone and glance at the time, 9:34. We still have time to watch a few movies.
"Hey Mia," I say turning my head towards her, "what time do you think they would want to go to sleep?" I ask.
She shrugs and says, "Not sure, but I don't think they would pull an all nighter," she giggles.
"Oh okay," I giggle a little with her. I press my thumb on the Instagram app, dragging it down the screen and looking through the many posts, liking a few while doing so.
Hearing some shuffling in the room I look up, my eyes following Josh as he makes his way to and up the staircase. I also notice that Gregory has already got Netflix on the TV screen. I put my phone down on my lap as I grow more interested in the movies while Gregory scrolls through all the different types; romantics, comedies, thrillers, actions, and horrors. Josh comes back and settles down in his spot on the couch.
"So, what movie are we watching?" Gregory asks.
"We should watch a horror," Mia says. My eyes shine after hearing those words. I love horror movies and creepy stuff so this is right up my alley. I look at everyone's faces, trying to find their answer. Will looks like he doesn't want to, same with Josh.
"Yeah, let's watch a horror movie!" I happily say clasping my hands together in excitement. Gregory looks at me.
"Okay, but which one?" He asks. I move my gaze to Mia and wait for her to answer, as she knows her movies. What's good and what's bad.
"Hmm, how about IT," Mia says.
"Is that the one with the clown?" I ask her. She nods. Oh how much I despise clowns. I'm more fearful of the ones that are supposed to be happy and funny, not so much of the killer ones. So I'm good.
So far.
Gregory finds IT and presses play but Brendon suddenly gets up and switches off the lights.
"Oh sorry man, I forgot," Gregory apologizes.
"All good," Brendon replies as he sits back down beside Will, who places he legs on Brendon's lap and grabs hold of his boyfriend's muscular arm. I smile at the adorable scene.
Suddenly the little boys arm gets bit off by the clown, making me jump and quickly shove a chocolate chunk into my mouth.
"My god someone's already died and the movie just started.." I mutter under my breath. I slip under the blanket that is covering Mia, grab the bag of chocolates that's laying beside me and scoot closer to her. She sees me munching on the chocolates and decides to eat them as well.
I guess I was just too into the movie, I didn't notice Mia trying to get my attention until I feel someone pinch my thigh. I flinch by the sudden pain and shoot her a glare.
"What?" I mouth to her.
"Lyde has been watching you instead of the movie," she whispers. I dart my eyes to him but instantly dart them away when I see him looking right me. I just shake it off and continue watching the movie. But I keep getting distracted because I can feel his deep stare on me. This is just annoying now and kind of creepy.
"Ah, thanks for letting me know that I'm being watched by a pedo while I am trying to watch a movie," I sarcastically whisper. Mia just bursts out laughing, causing everyone in the room to look at her. I quickly shove my hand over her mouth to shut her up and awkwardly laugh to the others until they look away.
"Shut up," I whisper yell while giving her a slap on her arm. She shoots her tongue out at me and we both start to watch the movie again.
I feel Lyde's eyes on me again and look over at him. The room is all dark, the only light being the TV. The light from the television making his dark orbs appear as though they are glowing is making its own scene from a horror movie in the basement around me.
I look back at the tv and as soon as I do a jump scare appears, making me flinch and quietly let out a small yelp. I glance back at Lyde, swallowing hard as I feel the feeling of fear growing larger inside of me. Chills run through my body, making me shiver. Mia notices my shiver and wraps an arm around me. I pull the blanket up over my nose, leaving only my brown eyes visible and tightly garb hold of Mia's arm, using it as my shield.
The clown on the television starts shape shifting into all these creepy things, but the scariest one of all was when the clown shifts into the girls father. I was never a big fan of older adult men, especially ones that sexually abuse their children. Suddenly a large smile found its way to my mouth when the girl shoves a metal object into his head.
The movie ends.
"Okay I'm using a bathroom break before the next movie, be right back," Mia says while getting up but instantly falls back down onto the couch, due to me still holding her arm tight. I quickly take my hand off her arm and stand up next to her.
"Whoops, sorry, also I'm coming with you," I say. Mia chuckles and starts walking away with me following right behind her.
