A dangerous decision

Chaapter 3 

Today has really been a very hectic day. I've been cruising around town with my scooter, delivering clothes to dad's customers. Dad is a very prominent dry cleaner here in Texas so you could imagine the multitude of people I had to make deliveries to.

"God I'm so exhausted..." I yawned lazily while walking into the living room. 

On opening the door of my room, I was met with zayn curling up in my bed and to my annoyance he was operating my phone? He was so engrossed in it that he never knew how I had walked in. 

"Zayn..." my voice rang out in annoyance making zayn startled and jumped down to the floor. 

"Can you explain to me what you were doing with my phone in my room?" I asked sternly, placing my arm on my waist. 

"Ummm...browsing??" He shrugs and bits his lower lips. And he took a few steps back in order to keep his distance with me. 

"Seriously? What did I tell you about using people's stuff without taking permission from them?" I yelled exasperated. Honestly what's with siblings bursting into your room and acting like they are in charge. 

"I know you wouldn't give me the phone if I asked you and you know that right?" He pouts. 

"But still... Wait how did you even get my password, are you some creepy hacker now?" I gasped as the realization hit me. 

"Well, I caught you opening your phone yesterday and you weren't smart enough to hide it from me." He said brashly and smiled, feeling proud of himself. 

"Are you by chance saying I'm dumb?" I tried pulling his ears but he slipped out of my hands. 

"I never said that..." 

"Give me my phone..." I dragged it away from his hand, highly upset. 

"I'm still using it please, I'll give it back when I'm done. I promise." He flickered his eyelashes like a puppy maybe thinking I'll fall for that cause he uses that on dad. 

"Get out of my room before I whoop your ass." I yelled but he didn't move a bugde. He kept begging me to give him the phone and when I saw he wasn't going to leave, I held his tiny arms and threw him out. Shut the door and went back to my bed. That little lad wouldn't stop invading my privacy would he? What was he even doing with my phone? 

As I took my phone to check it out, I was met with the background of g****e. Indeed he was browsing. What was he browsing about? As if replying to my question, my gaze fell on the search box and saw the text. 'Can you keep a secret? >reviews'

Wow wow, so my kid brother has really taken this game to another level. I tried to figure out what's so fascinating about the game but I really can't. 

I dropped the phone on my bed. Folded my hair into a shower cap then I went to my closet and took my Laundry bag before heading off to the bathroom. I spent almost an hour taking a warm and cozy bath. I went back to my room, changed into a pijamas then slumped on my bed. 

It was just 8pm and not yet ready to sleep, I took my phone and found the g****e page I had left behind.

I wanted to exit it but something in my gut prompted me to check out the reviews of the game.

Reviews:?

@alisa: I personally tried playing this game but after the first round I've to back out cause I almost lost my life and yes this game is so real but play at your own risk. 

@anonymous: Rumors about this made me try playing it and I'm not regretting it cause creepy stuff is my thing. 

@fishy: Just one advice, don't try this game if you get scared easily. 

@anonymous: Ever since I played this game I've not been able to sleep. Every night I'll hear whispers from nowhere telling me to save them. 

@rosie: My sister played this game yesterday and now she's dead. Trigger Warning: Please don't play this game. 

@blenzthel: The person who invented this ass game should be jailed. 

@dai: I wanted to play this game yesternight but after reading all the rules, I retreated as I'm not in the mood to die yet. Hehe!

The seventh review got me chuckling. 

There were tons of reviews on the game that if I really want to read all of them I'll have to take a whole week. I was already getting bored out of it when I heard a creaking sound coming from nowhere. 

Instantly the lights s

went off, followed by a thunderstorm. 

I jolted up to go close the widows and turn on the lights, but I bumped into something. Not a wall cause I for one know a wall can't be standing in the middle of my room. 

As my hand came in contact with it, it was so soft and it felt like a very tall creature was in my room.  

Terror stabbed my chest as my heart leapt into my throat. 

A scream tore out from my mouth, and almost jumped out of my skin but two hands caught me by my arms. My body shook with dread yet I felt too numb to move. 

"Hey, calm down." A voice whispered from nowhere and the unknown voice sips fear into my heart. My heart pounded against my ribcage. I wanted to believe it was dad but hell that will be impossible cause my door is locked, there's no way he'll get into my room without using the door. Right? 

The thunder struck against my roof again and I didn't know how I had slipped from its grip, rushed to my bed and switched on my phone light at a go. I instantly flashed the light to see who it was and my fear slowly faded off, dissolving into rage at who I saw. 

"Mark?" I scowled at a grinning mark who was there standing in the middle of my room. My gaze moved to the door and it was still locked. 

"How the hell did you get into my room?" I yelled, panting and sweating like I've run a marathon. 

"Over there?" He gestured towards the widow. His body was dotted with sprinkles of water, water dripping out of his messy hair and running down his face. It's obvious he had ran inside the drizzling rain. 

Seriously, why didn't I think of that? Why the hell was I scared, knowing fully well I have a pervert friend who'd rather use the window into my room than the door as every normal human being. 

"Till when will you stop sneaking into my room through the window? What happened to the door" 

"Well A, I don't like being interrogated by your parents, you know that and B the widow is the quickest route especially during an emergency." 

I puffed and landed on the bed, brushed my hands through my hair. Breathing in and out to release all the tension in my system. 

"Hey why were you so scared? Don't tell me you now watch horror movies." A smirk was playing on his black lips and I know he's tryna tease me. 

We've been friends since kindergarten so he and Bethel know very well I don't watch horror movies but they always use every opportunity to tease me with it. 

"That has nothing to do with you." I snapped as I kept my phone behind me. "What do you want?" 

"Why are you avoiding the question?" 

"Because whatever I was doing with my phone is none of your business. You know I could get you arrested for coming into my room uninvited." I blew a strand of hair off my face. 

"You can't do that." He smirked. "Anyway I'm here because I really need your help." His voice was almost in a whisper as if he didn't want anyone to hear him. 

And I already anticipated what he's here for. 

"Well it better not be what I'm thinking cause trust me I'm turning you down in a flash" I snapped at him. 

Yeah, each time he sneaks into my room like this, it's either he comes to ask me for relationship advice like things girls love, or he comes to borrow my pants or even pads. Surprised? Well that's what happens when you have a playboy as a best friend. But God knows I'm not giving him any of that if he came to ask for any. 

"Please... you have to help a friend in need here and I swear I won't bother you anymore." That's one very promise he never keeps. He squad before me enveloping both of my palms into his and revamping me a puppy face. 

"You see I..um..." his head fell as though he's avoiding eye contact. 

"I need a sanitary pad. I mean do you have a spare even if just one? There's a girl in my house right now and her monthly flow decided to act up right on my bed and you know..." 

"Thank goodness, every mall, drug store and even grocery store sells sanitary pads." I cut him off, retrieving my hands from him and stood up. "Because I for once I'm not giving out one." 

"Please all the stores are closed now and you know it's weird for a guy to be seen buying that eww..." he stood up in a flash, raw panic was in his voice and you need to see his face right now. 

As a way of paying him for scaring life out of me, I contentiously asked him to leave but being as stubborn as he has always been, he stuck around and kept pestering me. 

Getting tired of his annoying pleas, I just sighed and headed for my closet searching for a pack of pad. It took a while before I found out. Grabbing hold of it, I turned round and made to throw it at his face but he was right on my bed battling with my phone in his palm. 

"What the hell are you doing with my phone??" I ran to snatch it away from him but he stood up and turned his back against me while still operating the phone. 

"Give me back my phone." I yelled tugging at his shirt but he kept rotating round with my phone. 

"Hey chill, I saw something." He said and moved over to the other side but that didn't stop me. 

"Give it back now.." I screamed at his face. 

"Wait, it's not like I'll eat the phone or are you hiding something? Were you watching...." he trailed off and instantly turned to face me with a sceptical look on his face. "....porn?" 

I gasped and opened my mouth to say something when he spoke again. 

"Okay okay...I'm sorry it was a slip of tongue. I know you wouldn't watch porn. There will be no use for that anyway since your boyfriend wouldn't know how to do those stuffs on you..." he shrugged slurring the boyfriend and I gritted my teeths in anger. I really don't know why everyone despises Nathan but I love him for who he is. 

"Now I see why you were hiding the phone from me." Mark's voice brought me back. 

"You were doing research about the game but you are always claiming you don't have a thing about the game. The game is false and all that." He said in a mocking tone and handed me the phone. 

"I don't believe anything about the game, okay." I snapped. "Now take this and get lost" I threw the pad at his chest. 

"But you were doing research about the game." He imposed. 

They really won't stop getting on my nerves would they? 

"I wasn't. Yes I was but I didn't plan for it. It was my brother.,, why am I even explaining myself? Just leave." I barked at him. 

He chuckled and picked up the pad, then he cupped my face into his palms. "Thank you so much Clarisa. You are such a nice friend" he planted a kiss on my forehead and left.
