Sheylia's P.O.V
I close the bathroom door behind me after me and Mia both enter. I go over to the bathtub edge and sit down on it. I pull out my phone as Mia uses the toilet.
"So did you like the movie?" Mia asks, I look up and see her still on the seat, I instantly remember Lyde staring at me in the dark.
"Yeah I loved it!" I say flashing her a smile, "but, I despise the girls father." Mia giggles and gets a handful of toilet paper.
"Yeah I didn't really like him either, he was a pedo and a creep," she says while starting to wipe. I look away to give her a bit of privacy.
"It's just that Lyde was staring at me for like the whole movie, and it was kind of distracting," I say while looking back at her. She flushes the toilet and glances towards me before going to the sink.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Mia worriedly says while looking at me through the mirror. I look at her as well, confused as to why she is apologizing to me. I tilt me head to the side.
"Hmm? Why are you saying sorry?" I ask. She turns around to face me and looks me in the eyes.
"I wanted you to have fun, but instead you are scared and uncomfortable because that fucking pervert keeps staring at you!!" Mia says clearly aggravated. "After you told me about what he was doing I wanted to go right to him and tell him to stop or else, but you said that you wanted to be the one when you were ready!" She takes a deep breath, "I feel like a bad friend for bringing you here.."
I stand up and walk towards her, taking my hands in hers I say, "Please don't be sorry, you never did anything wrong, you respected my words by not going and telling him, also your brother never told you who was coming so how were you supposed to know he was coming, you are an amazing friend and I am having a fun time because you are here, okay," I smile.
"Why are you always like this?" Mia quietly says, I take a small step back.
"What do you mean, I'm confused?" I ask.
"You are just always so kind and loving," she says while smiling.
"Well duh, probably because I am the best person on earth!" I say giggling. She smacks my arm lightly,
"Yeah, that's probably the reason,"
I smile big and pull her out of the bathroom.
"Movie time!" I happily say. I feel her grip my hand tighter and hear her loud laughs behind me.
"You guys are finally back, we were waiting!" Gregory says annoyed with us. We both sit down and get comfy under the blanket.
"Oh you're fine, just play the movie you baby!" Mia says resulting in me laughing.
"Will or Brendon! Tell your child to shut up!" Gregory says while pointing his finger at the two.
"How dare you tell my baby to shut up!!" Will angrily says, jumping up from Brendon's lap, ready to fight. Gregory gets up as well and starts bouncing from side to side ready to throw hands.
"Both of you sit your asses back down and Gregory, play the movie already!" Brendon yells while pulling Will back down, making him fall into his lap. Brendon wraps his arms around Will's small frame and holds him down so he can't attack Gregory, who just scoffs then finally presses play.
I look at the television trying to guess what movie we are watching. After a bit, the words, Knives Out, are placed on the screen. I've watched the trailer for the movie and it looked good.
The movie ends.
"I really enjoyed that movie," I quietly say to Mia. She nods and says,
"Yeah same, it was kind of funny but also interesting."
I turn on my phone to see what time it is, 12:54pm.
"Another movie guys?" Gregory turns his head towards us and asks.
"Sure I'm down, not really tired," Josh says.
"Same," I say as well.
"Yeah another movie," "same," "same," everyone agrees.
"Okay, how about we watch a documentary for us to fall asleep to," Gregory offers.
We all nod in agreement so Gregory finds a documentary about a serial killer and presses play.
This guy was really smart and planned everything perfectly, which is creepy. The narrator starts talking about how he would kidnap girls and rape them multiple times. And that is a reason as to why I'm not a fan of men.
The documentary is very interesting actually.
I look over at Will and he looks really concerned. Brendon looks into it, same with Josh and Gregory. Lyde is actually watching the movie this time too, which is a relief.
This documentary is about two hours long and it's already half way through. I can tell people are slowly starting to get sleepy. Will has already fallen asleep, completely passed out in Brendon's arms.
Now the narrator is saying that the serial killers youngest child he abducted was a little 6 year old girl.
Mia has fallen asleep next to me, she is curled up in a ball. I notice her arm slowly submit to gravity, now dangling off the couch. Her fingers twitching slightly. I look over at Gregory who also looks like he is asleep. His legs are stretched out on the concrete floor with his head resting in his hands.
Josh and Lyde are still awake.
The killer had a diary that he would write his favorite things about each girl he abducted in. One thing he wrote was about a 17 year old girl named Amber. His favourite thing about her was her large plump lips and her sweet innocent voice.
A feeling of disgust finds its way in me after hearing what he did. I shift in my seat when the narrator reads another thing from the diary. He abducted a 15 year old girl named Shaelynn, and raped her multiple times.
I hate how she was the same age as me and her name is very similar to mine.
The serial killers favorite thing about her was how she was built smaller than other girls her age and that she was very kind.
A lump forms in my throat when the narrator says those words. This girl sounds exactly like me.
In the corner of my eye I see Lyde turn his head towards me, I glance at him and see an amused look in his eyes.
I reposition myself and try to ignore him.
Finally the movie ends with Josh turning of the television and falling asleep.
Leaving me and Lyde awake in the dark.
