KILLER EYES

CHAPTER 5

The whole way home was long and dark, but I wasn't so scared. I knew I could be less afraid now that I know I'm under police protection. My body was more relaxed than before and there wasn't as much tension for which I was honestly happy. The paranoia of someone watching me also slowly subsided. I felt better. The wind was cold as it always is after rain and the air was fresh. I took a deep breath in and out. I like this weather.

When I returned home it was already late but my mother was still not at home, I looked at the clock and saw that it was after 9. I decided to take a shower and lie down in bed. My body feels a lot better than before. A weight has been lifted off of my heart and my thoughts slowly went away until I fell asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the morning the sun woke me up and was shining brightly into my eyes. I woke up relatively early because when I looked at my alarm clock it was still half an hour before it was supposed to go off. It doesn't happen to me often, but today I was happy that it happened, at least I will be able to have something good for breakfast.

When I went down the stairs I saw mom's stuff were laid on the couch and her shoes were next to the front door. I was happy that she came home safely. When I looked at the table, I saw that there were unpaid bills, and I sighed. She still hadn't paid the rent. I am sorry that she has to work so much for a salary that is not good. It looks like I'm going to pay the rent again, it's not the first time I'm paying it, and I really don't mind helping her. After all she has been taking care of me my whole life. My father sends some money here and there, but he doesn't care much, I'm honestly glad I don't remember him. I know it sounds selfish, but for me, family is very important and if someone can leave and never come back, why bother sending someone money.

For breakfast I decided to have a banana and some yogurt. It's a quick breakfast which is best for me. I don't like having to walk on a full stomach.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After breakfast I went to school. When I got to the school I was waiting for Jasper. Well he was nowhere to be seen. I looked at the time and it was 7:30 which is the time when we usually meet ... could it be he's not coming today? Jasper is never late for class and almost always goes to school regularly unless he is sick or going for a job meeting with his mother or father.

Fear flooded my body, could have something happened to him? Did he kill him too?

A figure passed in front of me and I looked at who passed through the school gate and saw that it was Jasper. Is he not even going to say hello? He won't even smile? I ran after him and grabbed his hand.

„Good morning? Are you not even going to say hello?" i said wondering what his problem was.

He ignored me.

„Please Ria could you be so nice and let me go" he said with a cold tone as if he was a completely different person.

I automatically let him go out of shock from what he just said. Could it be that he is angry with me? I felt as if my heart was breaking and thoughts like what I did wrong started to crowd my head. What did I do so wrong for him to act like this?

One thing I don't like about Japer is how he can turn from a beautiful angel into a demon. He can be cold to people when he is angry or sad, but it rarely happens. Maybe he had an argument with his mom or dad, but I know that he would never take it out on me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He ignored me all day and didn't say a word to me. I was sorry because I care about him very much without him I feel alone. A feeling of regret and loneliness followed me wherever I went. The last lesson was chemistry and we went to another classroom. I wanted to go with Jasper, but as always, he just took his things and left without me. I didn't understand what was going on and I thought I was going to start crying soon.
