Lucy P.O.V

I couldn't believe what Zoey did. She ran out of the house, without saying a word. Was she scared of me? I looked back at my hand, with the bloodcrossed X written across it. From touching a bathroom door? It hurt like hell though. I felt luke at my heels. At least he stook by me when my best friend didn't. Though I never blamed her. I would have left this house as quick as I could, if I could. But I wanted to find my parents, and Lucas. This all was strange. I didn't feel like I wanted to go into the bathroom, but there may be some clues there as to where my family has gone, even how gory it is.

I wish I also hadn't come back to this house. I get the feeling that I may have caused all of this, and it makes me feel rather sick. I wish everything would have gone back to normal, with lucas, on his Xbox, Mom and Dad watching corrie or eastenders on the TV, with me in my room either listening to Twenty one pilots, or Panic! At the disco, or playing computer games. That was all gone now, and I felt rather alone. I had given my parents a hard time before now, and had been such a little B*tch to them, that this was probably my punishment.

I keep on thinking what is in the bathroom would not be good. Through my experiences, watching Youtubers play the horror game P.T. , I know that bathrooms are bad news. Like REAL bad news. I also know that wallowing in self pity wouldnt make me feel any better, so I approached the bathroom again, my heart beating heavily in my chest. I felt a wave of nausea overtake me. The bathroom was REAL bad news. I approached the handle again, and this time, gave way with ease. I opened the door, to reveal, the brightly lit bathroom. Nothing out of place, no one in there. Everything like what it was before. Strange, when I'd just thought that it was bad to go back in the bathroom. Though, It smelt bad in the bathroom, the same rotting flesh smell Zoey said she smelt downstairs. Taking one last look around the bathroom, I closed the door, satisfied that nothing was in there, so I continued my search, without Zoey.

I went to Mom and dads room this time. It made me remember of the times that I would have a nightmare, and run to mom and dad,and ask to sleep with them, when I was younger. My Mom would always tuck me in, and my dad would tell me a story, about a little boy who had nightmares, and how he overcame them. It also reminded me of the times that I wandered into Mom and dads room when they were out or shopping, and I would look at all their pictures on the bedside table. There were some of me, me with Lucas( How could I stand being with my brother back then?), Some of Zoey and me and Lucas, some of me and mom, some of me and dad, and some as a family. One was when I went to Liverpool with my family, and I met this girl called Rhiannon there. With her younger brother, and her dad. The picture that had Rhiannon in, was took by her dad, and me, her, lucas, her brother, and my mom and dad were in. I haven't seen her since I became friends with Zoey, and The Joseph incident. I kinda miss her....

I saw Moms phone on the bedside table beside the photos. So they hadn't gone anywhere. I knew it was wrong to go through her phone, but it had to be done, if I wanted to find out where she had gone. I picked up her phone, and went to her messages. There were a lot from lucas's school, Some from the office, where she worked, some from dad, some from amazon, some from Zoeys parents, and some from my school. There was one from Zoeys parents, that caught my eye.

'Hey Maria,

you haven't been acting yourself lately, is anything the matter? Me and Richard are worried sick about you. Lucy tells Zoey that you haven't been acting right. Is anything wrong in the house? Are Lucas or Lucy alright? You haven't replied to any of our texts, neither has James. We only want to know what is up, so we can help. We want to know that you are okay.
