Chapter 5

October 2011. 

"I've agreed to this meeting because we need to clarify a few things. Firstly, the psychiatrist that I recommended to you, Dr. Goldman, said you never showed up for your first appointment and you never called to cancel." 

I was sitting in Dr. Harmon's office that afternoon because he agreed to meet with me. I wanted to talk to him about not wanting to see another psychiatrist. If I keep seeing him, then I'd have a reason to see Maia. 

"I don't wanna see anyone but you." 

"We've discussed why that won't work. Which brings me to my next question; we're very grateful for you, Tate, for how you helped my family. But you need to explain, here and now, what you were doing in this house at the time of the break-in." 

I sighed, "The truth is I was just, like, hanging around outside, and I was...I was throwing pebbles at her window. She blew me off, I think she was reading, and then I noticed the door was unlocked, so I...went inside. It's not cool, I know." 

"I understand. But this is why I can't treat you. It's inappropriate for everyone concerned." 

I sniffled, I really wanted him to help me, but I also wanted to see Maia, even though I'd see her anyway, "I really need your help. I don't want to be like this. I want to be a good person. And I know that you can help me. You're the one, okay? You're the only one that I can trust." 

"I cannot see you in this house." he whispered as a tear rolled down my cheek, I lifted my sleeves up and sobbed into them. I really needed him, I couldn't trust anybody else. 

"Now, look, I have an opening. I'll meet you someplace for coffee. But you have to promise..." 

I interrupted, I was so excited, "I promise you. Promise. No more weird shit, okay?" 

He sighed in agreement.

finally.

I was in my room with Violet, we were talking about things and just chillin'. She was on my bed as I was sitting at my desk looking in the mirror. 

There was silence between us as we had run out of things to talk about, the floor creaked as I was looking at myself. 

I looked at Vi through the mirror and she got up as I turned the spinny chair around to face the bed. She got up and as soon as she did, someone grabbed her leg from under the bed. We both screamed as Addy, our neighbour with Down Syndrome came out from under the bed. 

"Trick or Treat. Smell my feet. Give me something good to eat." she said with her lisp as she came out from under the bed and stood in front of us. 

"Addy!" I said as she looked at us, "I want to be a pretty girl for Halloween." 

Violet looked at me confused, "You want what?" 

"Make me a pretty girl, like you Violet and Maia." 

Violet smirked as I got up from my chair and let Addy sit, Violet was good with makeup so I sat on my bed and watched. I've done makeup before and I'm not terrible, I just don't trust myself to do it on people. 

"I'm actually not very good at this." Violet said about 5 minutes later as she applied blue eye-shadow to Addy's eyelids. 

"I don't care. I like it." Addy said as she looked in my small portable mirror on my desk. 

"Close your eyes." Violet said and Addy obeyed, closing her eyes. 

"Addy, how old are you?" I asked from my spot on the bed. 

"A lady never reveals her age." she said jokingly, and then looked at me through the mirror, "Maia, is Tate your boyfriend?" 

"Wait, you know Tate?" I asked getting up and standing beside Violet. 

"I talk to him when he comes here for his head shrinking. He likes you, Maia. I can tell. He thinks you're a pretty girl." Addy looked at me and scrunched her nose, she was so cute, in the childish way. 

"Are you two virgins?" she asked looking up at both of us. 

I looked at Violet who looked uncomfortable, "We both are. Aren't you?" 

"Hell no." she chuckled as Violet took off her headband. 

"You can't keep breaking into our house, Addy." Violet told her. 

"But I like it here. My friends are here." she turned her body to Violet, raising her voice a bit then turning back to look in the mirror, "Wow! Violet, I'm beautiful." she turned and smiled at her then at me. 

I pouted my lips at Violet in an 'aww' type of way. I had never interacted with her but Violet has told me about her I've heard my parents talk about how she keeps breaking in. 

"I gotta go show my mom!" she said and hopped out of my chair, sprinting out of my room. 

"Aww" I said as Violet laughed, "I'm gonna get changed, I'll be back." Violet said as she went to her room. 

I sat on my chair and turned it around, looking around I noticed a piece of paper on the bed, "Meet me in the basement at midnight <3."  was what it said, I knew who it was from. 

It was 11:54 so I decided to go down there and wait for him, I walked down the stairs to the basement and called out for him, "Tate?" my voice echoed through the basement.

"Tate." I walked down the stairs as I reached the basement floor I called again, "You said you wanted to meet at midnight." I said as I walked around the side of the staircase. 

"Come on, Tate. This isn't funny." I said as I walked around the railing, I turned back to look the other way but I was met with a figure dressed in a black latex suit. 

He covered my mouth and pushed me against the railing, despite my screams. The person started laughing and I recognized it as Tate. 

"You piece of shit!" I pushed him away from me as he unzipped his mask, "I scared you." he said in a cute voice. 

"No, you didn't." I said as his eyes flickered from my eyes to my lips, "Where'd you get this thing? My dad threw it out." 

"Finders keepers." he said as he leaned in and kissed me, I could tell he'd been wanting that kiss. He pushed against me so he was touching every inch of my body with his body. 

He pulled away, "Really? I didn't scare you?" 

"No, you didn't." I said looking up at him. 

"I bet I can." he said as he kissed my lips again, he pulled away and walked around the back and pulled out a Ouija board, unzipping the back of the suit, he took it off and changed into a long sleeve and jeans. 

I sat down on the stairs and waited for him to explain what we were doing. 

________________________________________________________________________________

I didn't want to actually scare her, I just wanted to make her more aware of the history of the house. I would never purposely scare my girl, she was too cute to scare.

"You have to put your fingers on the other side." 

She scoffed from the stairs, "I don't believe in that shit." 

"Charles is gonna answer all your questions." I said in a sing-song voice, she hadn't gotten up from the stairs as I was still arranging things to be able to play with it, "He used to live here." 

"Is Charles going to tell me what happened to those shitheads who tried to kill us? What did you do to them anyway?" she now stood in front of me, her sweatpants hanging low around her waist, it was turning me on so bad but I had to contain myself. 

"I told you, I didn't do anything. I had some help." she sat down in front of me and I guided her hands onto the wooden piece of the board. 

"What's in this basement, Tate. I want the truth." she said sternly, it was so sexy when she told me what to do. 

"Maia, what I'm about to tell you might scare you." she took her hands off and cracked her knuckles, "To death." I joked stretching out the word 'death'. 

"I can take it." she said boldly, oh I bet you can. 

I started the story, hoping not to scare her too bad, "Dr. Charles Montgomery built this house. And here, in this basement, is where he worked. Charles was a doctor to the stars. And he was also a drug addict. And his wife, Nora, wasn't gonna let that get in the way of her lifestyle. So she set up a little secret side business. He would take care of the girls who didn't want to be in trouble anymore. This went on and on, until one day, one girl couldn't keep the secret to herself and she told her boyfriend what happened. The boyfriend wanted revenge, so he kidnapped Charles and Nora's baby. Terrified, the Doctor and his wife waited for the ransom demands. Driven insane by grief, the Doctor used all his experience and surgical skills to try and cheat death. But what he created was ungodly and monstrous. And even after their tragic end, that thing remained. Down here. To this day." I finished, seeing the intense look on her face as she had listened and processed it. 

"Oh my God." she exhaled, I stared at her waiting for a response, "You are so full of shit. I don't believe a word that's come out of your mouth." I expected that, she was a tough one to make believe. That's what drew me to her, "Forget it. Forget I ever asked." 

She got up and sighed again, "And I'm tired that we keep hanging out in this dark, dank place." she walked behind me, "Why can't we go somewhere? Like on a real date or something?" 

"All right." I said as I got up, "But if we go on a date....." I got closer to her face, "Maia Harmon, will you be my girlfriend?" I asked her holding her hands. 

Her face lit up as she bit her lip, "Yes, of course, Tate." 

I smiled as I looked at her, my girlfriend. 

mine. 

"Tomorrow night. We'll go out." I held her hands tightly, she was all mine. We heard footsteps and we both looked up. 

"Your father agreed to see me again, but I'm not supposed to be here." I whispered to her, she smirked as if she knew. 

"Come on. I'll be your lookout." she grabbed one hand and led me up the stairs, sneaking me out.

I had been waiting so long for this moment, the moment where I could finally do anything I wanted with her. 

Even though I'd already done everything with her, except sex of course, I still wanted more. I wanted to touch every inch of her, kiss every part of her, say anything I want to her. 

So many dirty thoughts ran through my head as we walked up the stairs together, thinking about her riding my dick and her perfect tits bouncing in my face. Her moans when I leave hickeys on every inch of her body. 

She's so sexy, I wanted to feel her body in my hands. Running my hands through her sweaty hair, her moans getting louder and louder with every thrust. 

I couldn't imagine doing it with anyone else, she was the only one that got me hard. Feeling her ass in my hands made me so horny that night, thinking of all the positions we could be in. 

Fuck, I love this girl.
