Chapter One Hundred and Thirty One:
Isaac was slouched on the sofa, barely watching a movie, and at the same time, anonymously surfing the band’s website on his laptop.

Taylor was aggravatingly tapping his knee to the sound track of the movie, and Zac appeared completely enthralled in the plot of the video. Isaac didn’t think he could even remember the name of the movie, it definitely wasn’t a good one. It was incredibly boring, the graphics were terrible and it was completely unrealistic.

Zac was simply enjoying the car crashes.

“So, remind me again what the girls are doing?” Taylor asked from the arm chair.

Isaac drew in a deep breath and replied “They’re upstairs watching movies. They thought that since it was their last night in this house they should spend the evening doing girl stuff together.”

An expression of confusion crossed Taylor’s face. “Why?”

Isaac shrugged. “Christy said it’s a girl’s night only thing…. I don’t get it either.”

“And why can’t we go up there?” Zac asked munching on popcorn.

“Because you’re not a girl.” Isaac laughed.

“Any why isn’t Taylor up there?”

Taylor rolled his eyes. “Yeah, real mature, Zac.”

“It was just a question, jeeze.” Zac laughed.

They sat in silence for several moments in silence, watching the movie.

A sudden scream erupted from upstairs.

Immediately, Isaac dumped his computer off his lap and ran up thee stairs as fast as he could, with Taylor and Zac close behind.

Isaac shoved open the door with his shoulder and burst into the room to find all three girls stretched across his bed and laughing hysterically.

“What the fuck is going on?” Taylor demanded, slightly winded from the run.

“Sorry.” Becky attempted, but failed to stop laughing.

“It’s okay. We’re fine, we were watching a scary movie.” Christy explained. “The guy jumped out and we all got scared and screamed. It’s okay.” Christy smiled at Isaac, “I’m sorry. We didn’t mean to scare you…”
”Everything’s okay? Are you sure?” Isaac asked again.

“Yeah, we’re fine, really. It won’t happen again.”

This remark caused the girls to burst into fits of giggles again.

Zac pulled the covers down on the bed, stacking the pillows into the position he preferred them again.

“So what was this movie called?”

Becky giggled, fastening her hair into a pony-tail. “It was ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’. Zac, it was so scary!”

“Yeah? What was so scary about it?” He climbed into bed and laid on his side, facing her.

Becky was sitting on her own side of the bed with her legs crossed. She bounced her knees. “It was… I don’t know. The guy would jump out with this big rusty chain saw and kill people. It was gross! I couldn’t watch that part. I hate blood.” She smiled. “I don’t know. It just freaked me out.”

“Alright, do you want me to guard the door with a baseball bat in case a chainsaw wielding psychopath comes after us?”

Becky smiled. “Zac, that’s ridiculous. If someone came through that door with a chainsaw, a baseball bat wouldn’t last long would it?”

Zac laughed. “Good point.”

“Let’s just go to sleep.” She laughed. “We have an early flight tomorrow.

Taylor changed into his oldest and most comfortable pair of flannel pajama bottoms and jerked his t-shirt over his head in preparation for bed.

Knowing they were leaving early the next morning, he tossed his dirty shirt into his suitcase and zipped it closed.

He stretched his arms over his head and yawned tiredly, just as he was interrupted by a knock at the door.

“Come in.” He called.

The door opened slowly and Jen came into the room.

“Hey, how are you?” She asked, loosely folding her arms over her chest.

“I’m alright. How are you?”

She shrugged. “Okay… listen, can I ask you a weird… probably really stupid question?”

“Sure, anything.” He said quickly.

“Can I uhh… stay with you tonight?”

He raised his eyebrows.

“That movie we watched has me… a little freaked out… and Becky is sleeping in Zac’s room…”

The air conditioner suddenly turned itself on, and Jenna jumped, quickly crossing the room.

Taylor laughed out loud. “Yeah, no problem. I was just about to go to bed anyway.”

“Thanks Tay.” She laughed. “God, you must think I’m a total baby.”

“No, you’re not a baby. The point of a scary movie is to get scared, right?”

Jenna laughed. “Right.”

“Okay, which side of the bed do you want?”

“It doesn’t matter. Right, I guess.”

“Alright. Want me to leave a nightlight on?”

Jenna rolled her eyes. “Oh come on.” She pushed back the blankets and climbed into bed. “Are you sure this won’t be… awkward?” She questioned.

“Nah… just… umm… don’t tell Luke, right? He’d have my balls.” Taylor said, climbing into bed.

“Ah yes.” Jenna laughed. “The most important part of the male anatomy.”
