Because Life Is Just That Awesome

"So Johnny boy, you wanna go on a date...where are we going?" I asked as we tiredly sat on the couch watching movies. Right now we were watching some retarded movie, I don't even know the name.

"I don't know, I was thinking just going to a little restaurant for dinner then going back to my house and watching movies." He said shrugging.

"Sounds good to me." I said laughing at how fun such a simple thing sounded.

"Good, because unfortunately, I can't afford anything else right now..."

"Aren't you supposed to be in some big band?" I asked laughing again.

"It's not that big yet, and well, I'm trying to save up my money for something special."

"What are you planning on getting?" I asked curiously.

"Nothing that I'll need to buy now, but maybe in the next few years. I just want it to be nice."

"Why won't you just tell me?" I asked pouting. Johnny laughed at me at kissed my cheek while putting his arm around my shoulder, pulling me closer to him.

"Because Maddie, it's a secret." He said making a funny face.

"Aww," I said sadly looking down.

"Don't worry, if you're as special as I think you are, you'll know soon enough." I nodded and smiled. I still want to know what it is though. Oh well, I'll live.

I looked back at the movie and noticed that it had ended and the end credits were now rolling up the screen. "So, what do you guys want to watch now?" Matt asked. I waved my hand around, not really caring. "Well then I say we watch...uh, I don't know..."

"Well you pick something, and I'm gonna go to sleep." I said standing up and stretching. "have fun watching movies."

"Okay, goodnight sis. Don't worry, your lover man will still probably be here in the morning."

"Matt, are you gay?" I asked as seriously as possible. He shook his head, matching my straight face. "Well you're saying gay things, so I'm not too sure about you right now."

"I haven't slept in two days, I'm a little loopy." I smiled and nodded, not entirely sure if that was true or not, but I'll believe him.

"Okay, well goodnight again Matt. Goodnight to you too Johnny boy!" He stood up and gave me a hug and kissed my forehead. I hugged Matt and then headed up the stairs.

I got changed into pajama pants and an old T-shirt and then I crawled into my bed for some much needed sleep.

I woke up, what seemed like only five minutes later to a strange creaking noise coming from...somewhere. I looked at my clock and it was only 3 AM. I figured it was just my imagination, so I laid back down and pulled the sheets even closer to my body.

A few minutes later, I hadn't made any progress in getting back to sleep. Not even a second after the thought, there was a low moaning coming from under my bed. I was officially freaking out. I looked around my room for something that could be used as a weapon, and the best thing there was is the old plastic sword sitting in the corner of the room. Who knows why I still have that though...but thank god I do.

I silently pulled the sheets back and stood up on my bed. Barely making any noise. There was more moaning, and it was very gradually getting louder. I took the first step off of my bed, going slowly to be quiet.

So far, I had one foot on the ground, and I made the move to put the second one down. I stood there for a second, though this was a very idiotic thing to do, considering the circumstances.

I went to take another step...but something GRABBED ONTO MY FREAKIN' LEG!!! I looked down and noticed that it was only the pant legs of the jeans I had been previously wearing before going to sleep.

"God damn it, that's NOT cool!" I said kicking the pants off of my feet. I went to start over towards the sword again, but again. Something grabbed onto my fucking leg!! I looked down and there was a hand holding onto my leg.

At that point in time, I screamed my freakin' head off and ran out of the room as fast as possible, grabbing the sword on the way out.
