Chapter 3: The Meeting

Sonja's POV:
I woke up suddenly. Everything was spinning around me. I felt the tears coming of my face. I was breathing really heavily. What was happening? I got up to get a glass of water. However, I stumbled over something and fell to the floor. I got up and felt my head and saw blood on my hand.
"Shit" I mumbled. After regaining my balance I went to the bathroom to wash the wound and out a band aid on it. I looked at the time. Two a.m. I sigh. I'm still shaking pretty badly. I sit on the bed and retrace what happened. Must have been a nightmare. Probably about the same thing. The horrible thing which I refuse to think about. I feel tears in my eyes. I shake the thought away, I don't wanna cry right now. I hear a slight knock on the door.
"Who the...?" I say getting up and tip toeing to the door. Gonzo is walking right next to me. I must have waken him up when I fell.
"Sorry baby." I tell my cat. I proceed to looks through the peep hole to the person standing outside my door.
"Oh my god" I whisper covering my face with my hand. It was him. He was standing there. He was wearing a white shirt and sweatpants and his blond hair was ruffled. He had a worried expression on his face. I quickly pat down my hair and open the door. A smile spreads on his face.
"Hi, I'm your neighbor" he says.

Tucker's POV:
I was jolted awake by a scream.
"What.." I whispered. I had fallen asleep at my desk while editing videos. After a while I realized that the scream and then a thud came from across the hallway. I speed walked into the living room. Tom was still asleep so I tiptoed to the door. I opened it as quietly as possible and slipped out of the apartment. The hallway had dimmed lights. At first I hesitated to knock. My hand hung in the air above the door. With a deep sigh I closed my eyes and knocked. I waited patiently for a minute or two and was about to turn around and walk away when the door swung open.
"Hi, I'm your neighbor" I say. What the hell Tucker, really. That's a horrible introduction. She smiles shyly and says hi. She looks like she had been crying. She's also shaking a little bit.
"Are you okay? I heard a scream and came over. I know you're new so I wanted to make sure you were fine" I said.
"Yeah, I'm okay. I just had a really bad nightmare" she says.
"Well, my names Tucker" I say sticking out my hand. She shakes it and tells me that her name is Sonja.
"That's a pretty name you got there" I say smiling at her. She swipes her bangs behind her ear. She had black hair with purple tips and it looked really pretty.
"So, how often do you have these?" I ask her.
"Not that often honestly"
"Okay, well I'm right across the hallway if you need me" I give her a pat on the shoulder and walk back into my apartment. I don't look back and I instantly regret that decision. I would have asked her to hang out. What a missed opportunity.
