Bouncey Castle 2

All Liam could do was prepare for the inevitable. He listened as his  sister and the twins left the back gate and heard their footsteps get  further away as they left the alley. Poppy and Lilly were discussing who  they thought would be found next and Liam just laid there until he  heard the thing he’d been dreading, the twins and his sister Anna had  come back into the garden as one of the mums said ‘you two girls go sit  on the bouncy castle with the others that have been found until Anna  finds everyone’…

The twins agreed and Liam could tell they were coming his way as he  could hear the swish of the flip flops of the one who had them on. What  Liam didn’t anticipate was the barefoot twin to be the one in front so  as he was listening out for flip flop twin, a sudden weight dropped  right onto his face causing the bouncy castle around him to squash  around his head.  The barefoot twin (Meghan) had stepped right up onto  where Liams head was and just carried on her merry way into the castle  when she swivelled on his stomach to watch her sister get on. Lauren,  the flip flop twin, then proceeded to do something neither her sister or  Liam were expecting, she turned around and dropped herself onto the lip  of the bouncy castle right onto his head exclaiming she needed to rest  her feet. Liam wasn’t expecting this at all so instantly struggled  breathing as he had 1 twin standing full weight on his stomach and the  other sitting on his head - the twins weren’t exactly light either as  they were both centre backs in their football team so naturally they  were tall and muscular for their age. They were about 5’2 and 140 lbs  which for someone like you and me is bearable but for a poor 11 year old  boy, was absolute torture. Liam so desperately wanted to start  thrashing and giving up his position so he could breathe but there were 3  things stopping him… 1: he was too competitive and wanted to win the  game, 2: even for an 11 year old he knew the position he was in didn’t  look great on him and would be in big trouble if he was caught like  this… and 3: with the twins weighing him down he physically couldn’t  move if he wanted to…

Lauren had been sitting down for about a minute now and despite Liams  best efforts, he was beginning to see stars and lose consciousness.  Luckily for him (or unlucky), Lauren looked up from her feet to see 4  more girls running and laughing towards the bouncy castle who had all  been found by Anna at the same time hiding under the buffet table which  had a cloth draped over it. This caused Lauren to scramble back into the  bouncy castle in a panic not wanting to get flattened by the 4 twelve  year olds preparing to bundle into the bouncy castle - which is exactly  what they did mere seconds after she got out of the way.

From Liams perspective it was absolute chaos as he went from struggling  to hear or breathe to then feeling Lauren scramble up his body to then  hearing laughter, right before a huge Amount of weight dropped onto  various parts of his body… and he could see none of it. The combined  weight caused the bouncy castle so sink a lot over his body and Liam  could feel different body parts on parts of his own body with no air in  between; the most notable being a foot sinking into his stomach that was  clearly the only thing what whatever girl it belonged to, it was the  only thing she was putting weight on as he could feel all of it on his  stomach. This worried Liam not coz it hurt, in fact it didn’t hurt at  all and if anything he was somewhat enjoying the sensation, but he was  more worried about being discovered - all this girl had to do was wiggle  her toes, feel flesh under them instead of air or muddy grass and his  hiding place would be up. Luckily for him tho, all the girls were in  hysterics laughing all too busy to notice a potential person under the  bouncy castle. The girls dispersed into the bouncy castle causing the  part above Liam to rise back up as if nothing had happened…

Liam laid there for about half hour or so being able to do nothing as  more and more of the girls were found and it was like his face had a  target on it as every girl stepped up onto it when getting on the thing -  except one girl who missed the front part completely as she cannon  balled onto it buttdrop landing on his chest. This caused an audible  grunt from Liam but with all the noise in the garden, it would have  taken someone with supersonic hearing to notice it.

Eventually all 9 of the girls were found and all of them as well as the  seeker (Anna) were all on the bouncy castle- so 10 girls in total. Liam  was just waiting for one of them to wonder where he was but to his  surprise none of them did… had they forgot about him? Surely not - maybe  they were just trying to scare him or thing of places he could be. That  was when Nicole (Anna and Liams mum) asked if the game was done and who  had won. Anna excitedly said she’d found everyone but that Pheobe had  won and none of the others spoke up about him. That’s when Liam realised  they had indeed forgotten about him so decided that if they had  forgotten to find him, they’d hide until someone remembered; it also  helped that he was actually really enjoying being trampled and sat on  completely unaware by in his eyes, a load of pretty girls. Nicole then  spoke up again and said to the girls that now the game was done, it was  getting late and getting cold and that they all had to go and play  inside from now on until their parents wanted to take them home. Liam  noticed that her voice was much more slurred than when he started hiding  over an hour ago, this meant the mums had clearly all gotten through  many bottles of wine knowing what they were like.

After the girls all went in to play whatever it is preteens play these  days, the mums just continue to sit around, chat and drink more wine.  Liam was just starting to get a bit bored and began to think that maybe  they thought he’d gone over to his best friend Max’s house not bothering  to check up. He was about to reveal himself by slithering out the back  of the bouncy castle and walking back down the alley round to the front  when he heard one of the mums say ‘hey ladies, it’d be a shame to let  that super fun bouncy castle go to waste and since we haven’t been able  to get down the gym today, it’d be a decent workout substitute’ she  finished with a wink. Liam recognised it to be the voice of the twins’  mum (Tayla) who was by far the youngest and best looking of all the mums  standing at 5’10 with a body that’d put Scarlett Johansson to shame.  She made some very bad life choices at 13 and had the twins at 14  meaning she was still only 27 despite having teenage daughters but if  anything it made her a much stronger and more mature woman as she was  forced to go through things in life at the age most women don’t go  through until the age she is at now. She was Liams first small crush and  after hearing her desire to get on the bouncy castle and after the  experience he’d just had with all the girls around his age, the thought  of her potentially literally crushing him under the bouncy castle  actually excited him so he decided to stay exactly where he was to see  what would happen…
