Everyone was sittin' around talkin', when the phone rang. Meggie got up. "Hello?"

"Hello Meggie," an unfamiliar voice said.

"Uhh, hi. Who's this?" Meggie wondered.

"Your murderer," the voice answered.

"What did you say?" Meggie asked, frightened.

"I said, you don't know me."

"No, you didn't. Look, I gotta go," Meggie said, hanging up.

"Who was that?" Meg asked.

"My murderer," Meggie answered.

"What?" Nick asked.

"He said, he was my murderer," Meggie repeated. "Scary." The phone rang again. "Hello?" Meggie picked it up again.

"Why did you hang up on me?" the creepy voice asked.

"Because, I have company."

"Your boyfriend?" the stranger asked.

"My boyfriend?" Meggie asked. By now, everyone was listening, because Meggie put the voice on speaker. "Yeah, my boyfriend's here," Meggie lied.

"Send Blondie outside. I have a little surprise for him," the man ordered.

"Fuck you. Who says he's blond?" Meggie challenged.

"Well, he is the one holding your hand right now, right?" the voice asked.

Meggie looked over at Nick, holding her hand. "Fuck you. I'm gonna go now," Meggie said.

"You hang up on me and I'll gut you and Blondie like a fish. Got it?" the voice demanded.

"What the fuck do you want from me? Leave me alone, you bastard," Meggie said, crying, and hanging up. All of a sudden, there was a loud pound on the front door. Then the electricity went out. Meggie cried, while Nick tried comforting her. Megan sat there shocked, while Brian tried to get her to speak.

"Nick, what's going on? Why is Meggie crying?" Aaron asked, emerging from his room. His lip started quivering, and he was about to cry. "I'm scared. I don't wanna die."

"Oh Aaron, come here," Meggie said, pulling Aaron onto her lap.

"I'll try my cell," AJ said. "Damn it. It's not working."

Meggie got up slowly, and headed for the kitchen. "Meggie, hold up. Aaron, stay with the guys," Nick said, following Meggie. He watched her as she grabbed a butcher knife. She then walked to the front door. "Meggie, where are you going? It's dangerous out there," Nick told her. She stepped outside, but didn''t see anyone.

"WHERE ARE YOU, YOU FUCKING COWARD? SHOW YOUR FACE, YOU ASSHOLE," Meggie screamed.

"Meggie, c'mon in. He's gone. Please? Meggie? Come in," Nick pleaded. Meggie, slowly, but surely, made her way onto the house. "Thank you." They went into the living room, and sat down with everyone. Meggie went to the closet, and got a blanket. She put it over Aaron, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa.

"I think he's gone," Nick informed everyone. But, 5 seconds after he said that, everyone heard a loud thump coming from upstairs.

"What was that?" Meg asked, grabbing on to Brian before realizing what she was doin'.

"I don't know," Kev said. "Come on fellas, let's go check it out." Everyone got up, except Nick, Meggie and Megan. (And Aaron, but he's sleeping).

"Nick, yo, let's go," AJ said.

"No, you guys go on ahead, someone's gotta stay back with the ladys," Nick said.

Brian started laughing. "Pussy," he said, under his breath.

"Shut up, B-Rok," Nick said.

"Well, if you're goin', I'm comin' with you," Megan said, looking directly at Brian, and getting up.

"You sure?" Bri asked, sounding worried.

"Yeah," Meg said, sighing. "Besides, you'll protect me, right?"

"That's right. Let's go," he said, grabbing her hand. Everyone slowly made their way upstairs.

"Nick, I'm scared.What if something happens to them?" Meggie said, worried.

"Don't worry. I'm sure they'll be fine. C'mon over here," Nick assured her.

Meggie got up and walked over to Nick who was sitting in a recliner. He patted his lap, indicating that's where Meggie would sit. She plopped herself down,and rested her head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around Meggie's body. They sat there for a few minutes, until Nick's stomach grumbled. They started giggling. Meggie looked at him. "Are you hungry?" she asked.

"Yes," he confessed.

"You can get something to eat if you want," she said.

"No, I can't," he said.

"Why not?" Meggie asked, confused.

"Because, I am having too much fun cuddling with you," he said, smiling.

Meggie looked at him, and smiled. They stared at each for five minutes, before Meggie spoke. "You're an idiot."

"Excuse me?" Nick asked, surprised.

"I've been staring at you, waiting forever," Meggie said, rolling her eyes.

"Waiting for what?" Nick asked, confused.

Meggie rose her eyebrows. "You truely are an idiot. I've been waiting for you to kiss me," Meggie said, hitting his leg.

"Oh. Do you want me to?" Nick asked.

"Duh. Now, shut up, and do as you were told," Meggie said, to him. They moved closer to each other, very slowly. Unfortunatly, it was a little to slow.

"Hey, you guys," AJ said. "Oh shit, sorry. I didn't realize you 2 were in the middle of something," he apoligized.

"What? What were they in the middle of?" Kevin asked, nosy.

"You know, Kevy-Kev, a little tongue action," AJ informed him.

"WHAT? I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU PERVERTS NOT TO MESS WITH MY LITTLE COUSIN! YOU DON'T FUCK AROUND WITH HER," Kev screamed.

"WHAT? YOU WARNED THEM NOT TO MAKE A MOVE ON ME? DAMN IT, KEVIN. YOU'VE ALWAYS NAGGED ON MY BOYFRIENDS. NOW, NICK AND I HAVEN'T EVEN DONE ANYTHING, BUT IF WE DO DO SOMETHING, THAT IS NONE OF YOUR FUCKIN' BUSINESS. I AM 22 FUCKING YEARS OLD. AN ADULT. SO DON'T EVEN TRY TELLING ME HOW TO RUN MY LIFE," Meggie screamed. Kevin walked away pissed.

"Maybe we should all sleep in here. Just to be on the safe side," Howie suggested.

"Alright, I'll go get some blankets and pillows," Meg said, walking around the house, grabbing all the blankets and pillows she could find. She brought them all to the living room.

"Do you mind if I take the other sofa?" AJ asked.

"No, go ahead," Meggie said. AJ grabbed a blanket and pillow and laid down.

"I'm never gonna get to sleep. I'm way to scared," Megan complained.

"Don't worry about it. Come over here, and I'll protect you," Brian told her.

"My cousin and my best friend," Meggie said. "Cool."

"That's not coo. I'd be extremly pissed if my bestfriend was screwing around with one of my cousins. I would maybe even kick his ass," Kevin threatened.

"Oh, shut your fucking pie hole," Meggie said. "I happen to like Nick, and if you think for 1 second, that your gonna get your big eyebrows, and butt into our businessm I really think you should reconsider." Kevin just rolled his eyes.

"Hey Meggie, do you wanna sleep beside me?" Nick asked.

"I'd love to, Nick," Meggie said, walking up and and cuddling beside him. Everyone said their good nights, and soon fell asleep.
