Kennedy||

Further in my sheets was where I was going.

I heard my father raspy voice yell my name from downstairs.

"Kennedy!" I shut my eyes tighter in hopes of finishing this dream!

I buried myself further into my sheets snuggling my teddy bear, Tootles into my chest. I heard his steps and inwardly groaned. I heard the squeak is my bed room door.

"Ken," he chirped my eyes shot open I jumped up and held Tootles to my chest tightly. I took in the big cup of ice water he was holding in his hand and locked eyes with his evil mischievous dark blue eyes.

"Tate," I hissed in warning.

We had too many run in with this situation and each time I ended up screaming and soaked.

Oh that sounded wrong I knew Tate would have smirked and teased at me. Gladly I kept my thoughts to myself.

"Kenny," he chirped teasingly he only called me Kenny knowing I would be annoyed by it because only daddy called me that.

I slowly leaned farther away from him while he stayed at the edge of my bed with the cup of ice water. I should have just got up when daddy called me. I sighed inwardly I knew it was a possibility that he would send Tate my annoying neighbor up to get me since he was most likely eating breakfast here but I was just to wrapped up in my comfy bed...

It annoyed me how dad just let him in our house like a stray dog. But dad told me that Tate needed a family which I was more than sure he already had, because I've met his parents but dad said it was different. I 'rue' the day we were moving boxes into the new house we were currently living in because ever since that day dad invited the annoying pest to come out with us for our pizza date -we have every Friday- he hasn't left. Which was me and only dads date days might I add- but the annoying pest has just invited himself into our lives ever since and that was six years ago.

I slowly stood up while tucking Tootles under my bed discreetly and held my hands in surrender. "I'm up, I'm up," I muttered, he gave me a evil smile which annoyed me.

"How about I just drink this cup of water?" He chirped I nodded vigorously.

"Only if you say 'Tate the sexiest human I've ever laid eyes on is the master of my life and is way hotter than Lamar Steins.'" he chirped while i glared at him.

Lamar Steins was the boy I had a major crush on, he was so hot and I've been liking him since elementary school. Somehow Tate the wicked found out. I think he read my diary but I don't have proof...

"Heck no!" I hissed in a yuck tone. I decided I would chance it, my bathroom door was not an option but my room door was and it was wide open. It sat just between us at a distance I took a small step towards the middle of my room.

One thing I learned about Tate was that he loved to be the predator while I was the prey slash usually the victim. He told me once he rather be the stalker which further confirmed that he would most likely grow up and be a stalker he was already a annoying stalker at twelve -when we met him-.

So he knew what move I was playing at before I even knew! I think that was because he was older than me just by two years, but he was smart. "Dad!!!" I yelled as I ran out my room door but Tate was on my heels.

"Daddy!!!" I screamed bloody murder when I felt Tate lock on my wrist and pull me into his chest. Then the ice bone chilling water came next.

I froze as my once messy thick blonde dry hair fell to my waist soaked like a wet towel.
