Sometimes it's best to stay out of where you're not welcome.

"What should we do tonight?" Lindsey asked her best friend, Monica as they sat on Monica's bed.

Monica took a moment to think over her question, mostly in deep thought of what the two friends should do. "We could do some cliché girl bullcrap and talk about boys and have pillow fights."

That earned a weird look from her friend. "You've got to be kidding me, right?"

"Or we could watch some scary movies and pig out on junk food." Monica smiled, Lindsey mirrored her smile, satisfied with her answer.

The two girls wasted no time bringing in the snacks and picking out some horror flicks to start their night. It was 10:46pm already and Monica's parents weren't home, so they didn't have to worry about keeping quiet.

"Where's your mom and dad?" Lindsey asked.

"Date night. Somewhere fancy, I'm sure." Monica responded.

"Oh okay. What movie should we watch?" Lindsey yelled from the living to the kitchen.

"I don't know!" Monica shouted, slamming and opening cabinets. "Just close your eyes and pick something." she called back out and then went back to picking out snacks and drinks for tonight.

Lindsey closed her eyes and reached her hand out so that her fingers caressed the movies. She slid her fingers across the DVD's several times before stopping. Her eyes opened and followed to where her fingers stopped. She smiled at her choice.

"What movie did you pick?" Monica asked with her hands full of food and drinks. Lindsey took some of the drinks off of her hands, Monica gave her a thankful smile.

"When a stranger calls." Lindsey smiled, knowing very well that Monica was in love with the movie.

Monica's eyes lingered on the movie for a bit before moving her kind eyes up to Lindsey's eyes. "Good choice."

The girls skipped off to the room, clearly excited for the night, it showed on their faces.

Lindsey popped the movie into the DVD player that sat on top of Monica's tv. Meanwhile, Monica set up a pallet on the floor and set up the junk food and drinks that awaited them.

The movie started, Monica and Lindsey cracked open some soda and dug into some chips with their eye glued to the screen. Both of them watched this movie probably close to a hundred times, so they knew everything that was going to happen exactly, even knew what each character was going to say. Still, they watched the movie as if they've never watched it before in their life.

On the scary parts, they stopped chewing and drinking, watching intensely at the screen. They remained still as statue, waiting for the parts to make them jump out of their skins.

It was on an intense part in the movie when a crunching sound filled Monica's room ruining the suspense. Lindsey grew annoyed and turned to her chewing friend.

"Monica, stop chewing! You sound like a cow." Lindsey snapped, looking in Monica's direction. Monica wasn't chewing anything though. The chewing and crunching still continued and it sounded as if the sound was coming from behind them.

The room seemed to fill with tension and fear as both of their hearts dropped, knowing there was someone else in their room. They felt as if they were in the same position as the girl in the movie where it was a life or death situation. Neither of them wanted to turn around, they wanted to close their eyes wishing it would go away, but of course, the crunching continued and their hearts started racing faster then ever.
