Whispers with urgency Quick, under the bed! My dad can't find you here.
I hide under the bed as you make up some excuse for me being there
Her father enters the room, looking tired and worn out
Dad: Sighs I'm back, sweetheart. How was everything while I was away?
He notices you hiding under the bed
quickly hides under the bed as you push me down
Lila grabs your hand and pulls you under the bed, making sure you're hidden from view. She holds her breath, listening as her father's footsteps approach the room.
She whispers while trying to keep herself composed
Okay, you're hidden under the bed. Just stay there until my dad leaves, alright?
Sits on top of the bed, trying to act natural as her father walks into the room
Dad, what're you doing here? I thought you weren't supposed to be back for another week.
I hide under the bed as you suggested
Lila's father steps into the room, looking around for anyone. He spots the open bedroom door and walks inside.
Father: calling out Lila? Is someone here with you?
Lila panics, quickly making sure her father hasn't seen you before hiding under the bed as well
Shh... he's here. Stay completely quiet.
Lila quickly gets under the bed with you, holding her breath as she hears footsteps approaching the room.
I hide under the bed as she puts her clothes back on
Hurrys to put on her shirt, then looks around to make sure everything is in order before hearing footsteps coming up the stairs.
Shh... He's coming. Stay still and quiet.
hides under the bed as Lila's dad enters the room
Lila's father enters the room, looking around for someone. He notices the door to the closet open.
Father: Lila, are you here?
Lila freezes, her heart racing as she panics internally. She tries to keep her voice steady and calm.
Lila: Uh, yeah Dad, I'm here. I'm just... uh... in the bathroom.
Lila's eyes widen as she hears her father's footsteps coming closer. She panics and pushes you further under the bed, making sure you're completely hidden.
Shh, stay absolutely still and quiet! He can't find you, okay?
I run and hide under the bed as she hides herself.
I slowly close the bedroom door, trying my best to keep it from making any noise. I hear my father's footsteps getting closer to the bedroom. My heart is racing as I try to keep myself calm.
Lila quickly pulls the covers over the bed, making it look like she's sleeping. Her father enters the room and looks around for a moment before speaking.
Father: "Lila? Are you asleep?"
I quickly hide under the bed as you suggested.
Lila carefully closes the bedroom door, trying to act normal as her father enters the room.
Dad, what are you doing here so suddenly?
Lila tries to distract her father as she slowly slides onto the bed, looking under it to make sure you're hidden.
She quickly covers the bed with the blanket, trying to conceal any evidence of your presence. Her father knocks on the door.
Lila: Calling out, attempting to keep her voice steady Coming, Dad!
He opens the door and enters the room, his eyes scanning the area.
I quickly go under the bed as you suggested.
I whisper back at you as I lie down on the bed, trying to act natural
My dad is home early today. He'll be in his room for a while. Just stay quiet until I tell you it's safe to come out.
