Chapter 14

"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to CORBYN. Happy birthday to you." ~every human reading this fanfic

"I still don't understand why you had to name me, 'Zach Acopolypse,'" Zach sighs.

Corbyn looked at him funny. "You have her number?"

Zach gives a look back. "Don't we all?"

I nod. "You gave me their numbers, Corbs."

"I did?" Corbyn looks shocked.

Oh dear...

"Yes," I giggle. "Didn't you give me your number?"

Corbyn shakes his head slowly, looking at me. "No... Izzy..."

I give him my phone. "Here you go."

Corbyn quickly types on my phone, before tossing it back to me.

I almost drop it. "Hey! Don't throw it! I was going to drop it!"

Corbyn smiles sheepishly. "Sorry."

I check my phone, and see Corbs has sent himself a text.

Sent to Corbyn😁

Izzy: hello to myself

I laugh. But then change the name.

Izzy has changed 'Corbyn😁' to 'Cooooorbean'

Blip.

Cooooorbean: y hello to u 2

I grin, sticking my tongue out at him.

Cooooorbean: i like the name btw ❤️

Coooorbean has changed 'Unknown' to 'Izzyyyy😘'

Zach peeks over my shoulder. "Why are there so many hearts?"

I shove him backward. "Shut up, Zach!"

He just breaks down in laughter, falling on the floor.

Ugh.

KABOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

I sit up in bed, pulling the covers to my chin.

I look out the window, seeing the rain hitting the window vigorously.

I see a flash of light streak across the night.

I remember the night I got very, very terrified of thunderstorms.

I was reading in bed, with my lamp on, my parents weren't home, and my brother and I had a fight.

The rain was thumping against the roof, making a soothing rhythm play.

CRACK!!

I shivered, I was reading a horror story, and this made everything real.

Suddenly the light flickered out.

I snapped my book shut, and pulled the covers to my nose.

It was fine, I'd thought. It'll come back soon.

But it didn't. I'd stayed for a long time, and the lights started to flicker.

Any minute now...

But they just continued to flicker.

And then a creepy face was there, very, very scary. It seemed to come closer, and was creepier with the flashing lamp.
