Chapter 4: The Basement

*******************************************

I heard the noise so loud that it woke me up. "ohhhh it is Kyle birthday" I remembered. I walked downstairs and gave him is present.

He unwrap it and said it out loud. "A new head set! Thanks Erin"

"You are welcome"I replied going upstairs to go and freshen up for the day.

I opened the door of my room and saw my room scattered, I knew it was Brian. The door shut nearly hitting me.

"Not again" I thought. I saw an arm pointing towards me suddenly I could not breathe, I was dying slowly I could not cry for help.

Until the door opened and hit my head with full force.

"What happened? "I asked whipping up the water on my face.

" You were lying on the floor and your room is a mess"Brian said

"You made it a mess"I said pointing at him and getting up from the bed.

"Not I didn't"he said pushing my hand.

"Am gonna tell mom"I said walking to the door.

"They left an hour ago"Brian said

"What how long have i been asleep? "

"I don't know" he replied. I knew he would say that.

"What!  4 0' Clock" I said looking at the time.

"Longest grounded ever! "he exclaimed

"It hasn't even been a day yet" I said reminding him.

We went to our rooms,  separately cause Brian was obviously still angry about the party. But I wasn't bothered at all, I was still thinking about the girl that I saw.

A shadow passed my door suddenly.

"Brian? Is that you? "I asked with my voice cracking.

"Yeah, yeah it me" Brian said not even looking at me

"Common let's go"he said dragging my hand.

"To where? "I questioned.

"I heard some noise down in the basement let go check it out" he replied

"Wait, you heard a noise and you want to check it out"I asked. "You don't have to come, I can go alone" he replied letting go of my hand.

Brian left to the basement and I went to my room, sat on my bed and started reading some old magazine for some hours. "Where was Brian" I thought. He was taking to long, I became scared and I went to go look for him in the basement.

I opened the door and walked downstairs. The lights were switch off I could not find the switch. "Brian" I called no response. "Brian are you there" I reapeted still no response.

I couldn't see anything since it was dark and creepy. Suddenly the lights came on so bright.

"Booooooo! Brian said and burst into laughter. I was scared at first but I was now okay. "Don't do that" I said. "Gootcha" Brian said still laughing. The door shut which interrupted his laughter.

"Stop it Brian" I said believing he was the one. "I didn't do It" He admitted. "If you didn't then who did" I said with a little scare.

We both ran and tried to open the door but it was locked. We banged it and cried for help.

"It no use"Brian cried holding my shoulder. "Yes there is, what is the time?" I asked. "8:00" he replied checking his time. "They should be here by now" I said.

"Who?" Brian asked, he was now sweating. A bang on the door interrupted us again but this time it had a voice.

"Brian, Erin are you there? " The voice said." Dad! "I thought it sounded like a man voice." We are here" we replied. The door unlocked and the door opened.

"Uncle mark? " Me and Brian echoed out together." What are you doing in the basement? " He asked." It a long Story"I replied stopping Brian from explaining everything to him.

Mom and Dad gave us some snacks from the party. Kyle told us every thing that happened in the party including the people and gifts.

"What did uncle mark get you"I asked during the time he was talking about the gifts, Brian was busy call ling Charlie since when he talked about the people that were invited.

"Uncle mark got me a car" Kyle replied in a happy mood. I thought it was a joke until I saw it by myself.

The car had a familiar logo I saw in the basement.
