Winter comes back around again. Everything is still pretty normal, just a lot colder. I love winter it was my favorite time of the year because of Christmas and just smoores and hot chocolate.
Even though I started being paranoid about Lilly after telling her my story with Johnson. Nothing bad happened, so I guess I was just paranoid, right? I invited her over the first weekend in December to have a bone fire with me and my family. We have been friends for a year now and she hasn't been over or met my family. So I figured this would be the best time to do it.
Man, I didn't know how manipulative people really could be. (We will get into that later on in the book). Lilly's first time over was pretty cool. A red flag came up, though, when my parents told me they got a weird vibe from her during dinner. We ate before the bomb fire. To me, it all seemed normal, though.
Like most young adults and kids. I didn't listen to my parents telling me they had a bad feeling and didn't get a good vibe from Lilly. I mean, why would I? She's been my only friend since all that has happened for over a year now. I think if she was involved in any way, something would've happened by now.
Boy, was I so hurt to find out I was wrong about Lilly altogether. Now I'm sure you're wondering how I know I'm wrong about this girl... well, let's get into it.
Lilly and I set up a best friend date to the movies. Everything was going smooth at first. She picked me up, she dressed up. I'm also dressed up in a blue tight fitted dress with some four inch heals and the Gucci bag to match. We probably were going to be two of the baddest bitches to walk into that movie theater tonight. It was a weekend this particular day, specifically Saturday. So you already know everybody is about to be outside at this theatre.
We couldn't wait to get there. We were planning on seeing the new saw remake. One thing we definitely had in common was our love for scary movies. We arrived, went to the ticket booth. There were a few people ahead of us so we just standing in line waiting for our turn.
"So, Tyler I think this movie is going to be epic" Lilly said smiling at me and giving me a wink. "Oh I know it definitely will be. Look at all these sexy men walking in over there girl" I said to Lilly pointing in the direction. They were tall with banging body's and looked really strong. They could pick me up any day and f**k me good. "Girlllll they are fineee!" Lilly replied. We both laughed and I happened to look over my shoulder. A black Suv just pulled up the curb behind us. Now it's a movie theater I'm not thinking anything strange at this time. We stood in line for another ten minuets after the SUV pulled up. "Hey Lilly did anybody get out of the car over there?" I asked being nosey. "Girl I have no idea I wasn't paying attention and neither should you! let's go watch this movie girl I got the tickets" she said pulling me out of line and into the theatre.
I was trying to just let loose and not think anything of it. The SUV had tinted windows. You couldn't see inside even from looking through the front of the car. Maybe it was police? or just somebody else there to watch the movie? but nobody ever got out. I asked Lilly for confirmation if someone got out but I know nobody didn't. Hmmm, maybe they are just waiting on someone they dropped off here or had to pick up here to come out. Yeah I'm thinking to myself I have got to be tripping.
We got our popcorn and walked into the room our movie was going to playing in. One thing me and Lilly had in common was we hated to sit to in the very front. The theater was pretty much almost completely full with almost every seat taken. Luckily we found ones in the back. The second to last seats on the side of the room. Which only had two seats sitting beside each other so nobody else would be sitting beside us. But shortly after, one person sat behind us. I happen to turn around just to see who sat behind me and Lilly. I got a weird feeling. they were wearing all black from what I could see and a ski mask. You couldn't see their face at all. They slowly put their hand up, which had gloves on and waved slowly. I waved back and just turned back around. "Hey, that person behind us gives me the creeps," I whispered to Lilly. "Girl, just enjoy the movie! your good people are just weird. Don't let that person ruin our night boo" Lilly said, reassuring me that everything was fine and I was stressing for no reason. I took a deep breath and just continued to eat my popcorn. Not too long after the lights go off. It's completely dark, and a couple seconds later, the big screen turns on, and our movie is now officially starting. I was so invested in this movie that I didn't even realize or notice what the person behind us was doing. I was no longer second-guessing or even worried.
I did notice nobody came and sat beside Them. So they came alone, but hey, they looked weird. I wouldn't have sat beside them either. Halfway through the movie, I had an urge to use the bathroom really badly.
"Lilly, I'll be back. I have to piss so bad," I leaned over to whisper in Lilly ears. "k" Lilly responded, giving me a thumbs up, but she was just as into this movie as I was, and she didn't take her eyes off of the screen. I got up and walked out of the room our movie was playing in. Walked down the hall of the lobby in the theatre to the women restroom. I had to be only a couple of minutes. I wash my hands came out heading back towards the room with our movie playing. As soon as I come out, I get startled by the person who was sitting behind us. They were just standing there looking at the wall. "Oh, excuse me, you scared me," I told the creepy person who startled me. They looked me straight in my eyes but didn't say anything. I continued walking back to the movie.
I get back into my seat beside Lilly. "Lilly, that person behind us is definitely weird as hell," I whispered to Lilly. "Come on now, Tyler," she said. Lilly probably was annoyed at the fact that she didn't feel like anything was wrong. So I thought anyway. "That person that was sitting beside us was just waiting outside the bathroom staring at the wall. There was no line or anything. Then they stared at me walking back, " I told her worriedly. "It's probably just some weirdo who is crushing on you, girl. Enjoy the movie, " Lilly said, handing me my popcorn and continuing to watch the movie. "Yeah, you're probably right," I replied.
I heard a footstep behind me so I looked back and that person was behind us in their seats again. They kept looking at me until I looked away. I had an annoyed face clear as day I was annoyed and confused over this person and wasn't even sure why, really. I just brushed it off so I could really sit back and enjoy this movie with Lilly. It was very good, and I didn't want the movie to get ruined over something that most likely wasn't even that serious to be worried anyway.
Man, I really should learn to start trusting my gut more often. Maybe I wouldn't have been in that situation over a year ago. And maybe I wouldn't have been in this situation I'm going to tell you about now.
The movie ended, and everyone clapped at the end. It was a really good movie and we got up and walked out the room to the counter to refill our popcorn for the ride back home.
Walking to the car, I noticed the black suv with the very tinted windows parked behind Lilly. I didn't say anything even though I felt very weird about that, and the creepy person adding to that weirdness made it worse.
Lilly started her car, yet she never pulled off. "So you ready, girl or what?" I asked Lilly, giggling. "Are you in a rush, girl? my bad. I was texting my parents letting them know that we finished the movie and I was dropping you off. "Oh, okay, my bad, and no, no, no rush at all. I promise you that, Lilly, " I replied, giving her a smile. we both smiled. "Hey, is that the person you were talking about in the movies, Tylee?" Lilly asked her eyes, pointing to the direction of who she was talking about. " Yes, you see what I mean, hella creepy," I replied. The person walked by our car and guess what? they got into the black SUV with the tinted windows. "So this mother fucker has a weird ass car too and they weird as f**k too huh" I said sarcastically but actually feeling serious about what I just said. "Well let's get home girl" Lilly said pulling off.
