Haunted

Chapter 10

A/N: I know all the songs I'm listening to are mostly the same artists but those are just my favorites and I listen to them most of the time haha

So while writing this chapter I listened to

What Makes You Beautiful - The 1975 (Cover)

Beside You - 5 Seconds of Summer

Demons - The Wanted

"Bye!", I shout as I leave the house.

I'm on my way to Ariana, her parents are visiting some old friends over the weekend and I told her I'd spend the next two days with her.

Mrs. Clifford told me it's the first time in ages they can go out, Ariana's too scared to stay home alone but she pushed everyone away so far so no one could stay with her.

I'm glad she trusts me, I still don't know why, but she does.

The problem is just that she shouldn't.

It's been more than a week since me and Michael made that deal and I regret it more with everyday. I haven't made a move yet or something, I might as well cancel the whole thing.

I feel my phone vibrating in my pocket and pull it out. Speaking of Satan..

"Hey, Michael. I really can't talk right now..", I begin but he cuts me off. "I know. You'll spend the weekend with her, right? You could easily.." This time it's me who cuts the other one off, "No. Michael, I can't do this. I mean maybe I can.. but not now." Silence. "I understand. Sorry for bringing you into this I just thought.." "I know. It's a weird situation, for everyone and if I can help I will." "Thank you.. Well I need to go, Sandy will be here any minute." I laugh. "Have fun you two." "We will, thanks", he hastily says. I guess she's arrived. It's funny how they both are totally into each other but too scared to admit it.

After a few more minutes I reach Ariana's house. I ring the bell and seconds later she opens the door, takes a step back and grinning pulls on her Mickey Mouse sweater. "Oh, new jumper? Suits you perfectly", I laugh and step inside.

Her mum rushes past me, followed by a man which I guess is Ariana's dad. They quickly put on their jackets - even though it's not really cold, I mean this is Florida - and give Ariana a kiss on the cheek. "We'll be back on Sunday. Have fun you two", Mrs. Clifford says and they leave waving. Ariana closes the door behind them and turns around smirking.

"Movie night and pizza?", I suggest and she nods grinning. I follow her into the kitchen and she sits down on the counter after handing me a water bottle. "Which movie do you wanna watch?", I ask and she shrugs. "Which movies do you have?" She jumps up and leaves into the living room. She grabs a few DVDs from the cupboard and I look at them.

Twilight - thank you not today. Or any other day.

Titanic - where are the good movies?

Mean Girls - why not?

"Wanna watch Mean Girls?", I laugh and she nods.

When the pizza arrives we sit down in front of the TV. "Party time", I laugh as the movie starts. Ariana giggles and takes a slice of pizza. I can't help but stare at her instead of the TV.

When she's finished the first slice I ask, "It's good to eat again, isn't it?" and she nods smiling. You can tell that she's been eating the past week, not that she's gotten fat or anything, but she looks healthier.
