Chapter 64; Plastic balls & Crowd

Just so you don't get confused: there's a time skip! You'll know if you read further tho.

"What are all these boxes for?" Harry asked as he entered my house.

"Oh, you'll see. Yesterday I had the most amazing idea in my life and I immediately went on Amazon and ordered thousands of these plastic balls that kids play in you know these ball pits you can jump in? Anyways, so I ordered them and I think I went a little overboard buuut I will throw them in the room with the railing so you can jump downstairs into all these ball. I don't know if that's safe but I have so many balls it will be fucking amazing and I called you so you can help me, let's go!"

I was so excited and convinced from my own idea. Harry shook his head, laughing at me as I cut open all the boxes and carried them upstairs.

Upstairs in the living room on the far end there was this railing and an opening so you could look downstairs into another room which wasn't occupied because I didn't know what to do with that room and so I thought I could fill the whole room with these plastic balls.

The room didn't have any furniture and I didn't have any other use for the room apart from filling it with these balls. I already asked my neighbor to screw of the metal railing that was there.

He was a nice man in his sixties and he and his wife came visit me in the first week that I lived here. It was already December now and almost time to fly home to my mother & Ethan.

My mother was a pretty mad at me as I told her I wanted to meet my father in prison and I understand that she doesn't want me to but I want to meet my biological father sometime in my life and I think waiting seventeen years was enough.

I had a lot of shows the past two months and my album 'Untold Stories' is dropping in four days at 8pm I believe which was really exciting because the 'Untold Stories World Tour' has already been announced and tickets go on sale in like two weeks I believe.

Unfortunately, Shawn is in Australia right now and the time difference is very annoying. I really miss him though and I can't wait too see him again even though both of us have no idea when that will be.

"Just throw them down there?" Harry asked, skeptically. I nodded and grinned happily as I let the balls fall out of the carton and into the the room.

I put music on with my wireless speakers and connected my phone with it to have a bit more fun while doing all this.

"This will take us forever," I said and already exhausted after the fifth box.

"No shit," Harry rolled his eyes, making me laugh because he thought this won't work like I hoped it would. Well, we'll see how it works in just a few more house.

Many complains, boxes and hours later we finally made it and we were now standing on the edge contemplating if it was really safe enough to jump.

"I'm just gonna jump," I said and cracked my knuckles before taking a step closer to the edge. "Wai-" Harry started but I was already in the air for good two seconds before I was surrounded with thousands of plastic balls.

"You okay?" Harry yelled from the top.

I tried, getting myself to the surface and it wasn't as easy as I thought but I eventually made it saying, "this is amazing!"

"C'mon Harold! Jump!"

He nodded and a few seconds later I was helping him to get up.

"Wait, how are we gonna get out of here?" Harry asked with wide eyes.

"Well, oops?" I shrugged and burst out laughing. "We can just get to the door somewhere, it's down there right?" he asked, pointing to the wall on the left. I nodded and we tried swimming towards the wall before we both dived down, trying to find the door.
