12 - The Scare.
I had gotten ready quickly, or as quick as I could.
I was so giddy, it was insane. The door bell finally rang.
I ran to the door before anyone could get it. It wasn't my friends.
"Hi sir, do you have the wrong house," I start.
"No, I'm here to see Mr.Moriarty," he answers.
I step aside as he steps in the house. I close the door. I go to call for my dad, but he comes in before I can.
"How many times have I told you to stay in your room," Jim yells.
"I-I...umm," I stutter.
"Upstairs now," Jim continues to scream. "Jesse, watch her! Now!"
I run upstairs as fast as I can with Jesse right behind me. I get to my room and start shaking. I know it doesn't sounds scary, but it was. It was so terrifying.
"Wha-what was that," I ask.
Jesse comes over to give me a hug to help me stop shaking, but I back away. "Hey, it's ok," he replies.
"No, no it's not," I scream.
"He's done that to me a lot of times. He's acting. It's all an act," Jesse informs.
"But he's so...horrifying when he did it..."
"Sorry we didn't get a chance to tell you anything..."
His words weren't getting through. All I kept thinking was that that man is my father. A criminal. The scariest man I know...
Sorry about the short chapter! I have some exciting things coming soon in this book though!!!!!!
