Amelia sat in her living room on the couch, the curtains wide open to let in the natural light. She held her phone in her hands and was typing away at the screen.

10:02 Emi, are you awake yet?

She passed the time browsing tumblr and instagram, hoping her best friend would respond soon. She had read about this cool new attraction in their town, a traveling haunted house. Amelia had seen an ad for it on facebook, and it turns out this was the last weekend before it was going away. She knew Emily would be against changing their plans last minute, but she really wanted to go.

10:46 Emi! I gotta tell you something! Wake up sleepy head!

Amelia was starting to run out of things to do, and she kept thinking more and more about the haunted house. She hoped so much that emily would be down with going.

11:31 Please respond as soon as you wake up okay?!
11:56 I know you are awake, you always wake up at the same time. If you don't reply soon, I'm coming over!
11:57 Look, I know you like to plan things ahead, but there's a change in our plans today okay? I wanted to tell you as soon as I could so you wouldn't freak out. Please don't be mad.

She sighed and watched her phone for any sign of Emily. Nothing.

12:01 Emi, are you mad? I'm going to come over okay.

Amelia threw her shoes on, put on her sunglasses, and grabbed her car keys. She typed out another message before starting her car, a baby blue VW Beetle.

12:03 I'm headed over right now. I'll see you in 10 minutes.

As Amelia pulled up to Emily's house, she noticed the light on in the bedroom. The rest of the house was dark. She walked up to the door, and began knocking.

12:14 Emi, answer the door! I'm here! I really need to get my own key lol

No answer. She wanted a minute, then tried again.

12:15 Are you home?

Amelia was in the middle of knocking when the door opened and she was greeted by Emily.

"I would love a drink! You still have any of that green tea?" She said as she slipped her shoes off and left them by the door. She followed Emily to the kitchen, eager to talk about the change in plans, hoping that Emily wouldn't be too upset. She decided to wait a few minutes before bringing it up.

Amelia took her tea with surprise as Emily asked her the question. She didn't her to just ask like that. Amelia could sense the annoyance in Emi's voice, but she knew it wasn't so bad that she would say no. There was a good chance Emily was going to say yes to her best friend on this big day. Amelia took a deep breath.

"Okay, so please don't be mad at me Emi." She paused for a second, choosing her words carefully. "I know we had planned on going to the fair and eating a bunch of junk food until our stomachs hurt, but I found out about this really cool thing that's only in town until tomorrow." She stopped again, trying to read Emily's face.

"I think you'll really like it, even if it's a change in our plans. It's something you've talked about wanting to do for a few years now. Are you mad yet? I can't tell."

Amelia blushed a little, realizing she was torturing her best friend. Her mouth started moving incredibly fast, blurting the words out in rapid fire speed.

"Right! Sorry! Okay so there's a haunted house that pops up in different cities and stuff, and it's here right now. It's supposed to be super creepy, and if you make it through the whole thing you get your entry fee back, a $100 giftcard, a tshirt, and your name on the wall of screams. I realllly wanna go, Emi. Please, can we go?!" She sighed in relief, finally getting it all out.

As a reward to herself, she drank a sip of her green tea. It was refreshing and made her feel really good about the chances of Emily saying yes.

Amelia pulled out her phone and typed in the name of the haunted house: One Thousand Horrors. A dark webpage came up with a picture of an old spooky looking building. It looked like it was three stories high, but the website said it had five floors of terror. She passed the phone over to Emily.

"I'm not sure if they use an existing house or if they built one for it, but it looks so creepy, right?! They only stay around for about a month before they move to a new location. There's a page to see a picture of the wall of screams, where signatures are. There's not even that many on the walls, it must be so scary!" She watched eagerly as Emily looked at the website.

"They have a lot of great reviews too. People saying they couldn't sleep for a week and stuff."

Amelia listened to the words patiently. Each point that Emily brought up, Amelia had an argument for it. Although somewhat ridiculous, she still had explanations that could work. She wanted so bad to open her mouth and argue, but she held herself back. Emily often went on logical rants, and she often didn't mean to sound so harsh when the words came out. Thoughts were running through her head, but she kept them all to herself as Emily kept talking.

The wall of screams could just be painted to look like concrete. Maybe it's just a giant banner or something that's pasted onto the walls. Maybe it's really nice looking foam, like the stuff they use in movies.

Maybe the haunted house is newer, or they change the name of it to throw people off. Maybe the reviews are false, but that doesn't mean the place isn't real!

Emily mentioned something about a trap, but Amelia was no longer listening.

It can't be fake because-

"Tomas has seen it." She didn't realize she was speaking out loud now. Her cheeks reddened a little and she repeated the full sentence out loud. "It can't be fake because Tomas has seen the house set up. I thought maybe it was fake as well, and I know he lives out that way, so I asked if he could check it out for me. He went during the day while it was closed. There's a small sign set up about a mile before you turn off to get to it. He drove back as far as he could until he came to a gate that said closed until nightfall, but he could see the house. It's real."

Amelia felt good getting those words out. She knew her friend meant well, but it felt good to prove that she wasn't a fool. She had already checked the place out, because she knew Emily would have objections, and Amelia didn't blame her. It was the smart thing to do. It was the Emily thing to do.

She had a slight grin on her face, Emily's apology washing over her and cleaning away any disappointment she had. It always felt good to beat Emily's anxiety, to overcome something that held them both back.

"Yes! Emily you are totally the best. I knew you'd say yes. It will be so much fun, I promise." Amelia was jumping up and down as she spoke, excitement spilling from her. "I was thinking we could grab a coffee and talk for a while, then go see a spooky movie to set the mood for tonight. Oh, and one more thing..." This time Amelia paused on purpose. She was pushing Emily's anxiety, but she knew she'd be happy to hear this news. "Tomas is coming with us to the house. He's totally into it," a smile crept across her face as she planned the next words carefully, "almost as much as you are into him."

She laughed lightly, careful not to push too many of Emily's buttons. Amelia knew Emily had a crush on Tomas since the day they met in the hospital. Amelia had been throwing questions at Tomas, trying to get any information out of him that she could for her friend, but he hadn't answered very many. After being released from the hospital, Tomas didn't leave his house often. They mostly talked online. Maybe this time her two friends would finally hook up. Should could tell Tomas had feelings for Emily, even though he was really good at hiding them. He was good at hiding a lot of things.

"Suuuure Emi, whatever you say."

She finished her tea, then walked over to wash the glass out and put it away.

"I promise, nothing bad will happen, but it will be nice to have a guy with us for protection! Maybe when you get scared, he'll hold you!" She turned and winked as she delivered that last line.

Amelia chuckled, "Hey, The Flickering wasn't THAT bad of a movie!"

She walked to the door, then slipped her shoes on. She grabbed her keys from her pocket and dangled them in the air.

"I'll drive! Do you want to stop at the Starbucks, or that cute little cat cafe?" Amelia didn't even know why she was asking this, she already knew what Emily was going to answer.
