“Hello?”
No answer.
Then I heard running water upstairs.
I climbed the stairs slowly.
The bathroom door was closed.
I tried the handle.
Locked.
Then I heard Lily’s voice.
“Mike, hurry before Mom gets home.”
I froze.
Emily whispered something I could not understand.
Then she said more clearly,
“If she sees it now, everything is ruined.”
My stomach dropped.
I knocked hard.
Everything inside became silent.
“Emily?”
No answer.
“Lily?”
Still nothing.
Then Mike spoke.
“Sarah?”
His voice sounded surprised.
“Why are you home already?”
That question made my fear even worse.
“Open the door.”
There was a pause.
“One second.”
I heard movement inside.
Something fell.
Then Lily whispered,
“Hide it.”
I hit the door again.
“Mike. Open this door right now.”
The lock clicked.
The door opened.
For one terrifying second, I was afraid to look inside.
