Chapter 9
I stayed quiet under my covers, holding my breath. Why wouldn’t he just go away? After about thirty seconds I let gave in and gulped in more air. It was quiet outside my door, but I wasn’t falling for it. He was still there. I knew it.
“Amy?” He sighed.
Maybe if he thought I went to sleep he’d leave me alone.
“I know it takes at least seven minutes for an average human to fall asleep” He said wryly. Now if I were smart I would’ve kept quiet. But I’m not that smart.
“Yeah? Well I’m special!” As soon the words escaped my lips I regretted them. So much for being asleep.
I heard a laugh outside my door. He sounded tired. Why wouldn’t he just go to sleep?
“Could you please let me in?” He sighed impatiently.
I looked around frantically springing out of my bed.
We need a plan, we need a plan!
What kind of plan?
Ok, here we go. Go and grab that tennis racket.
Ok, now what?
Hit him with it!
WHAT????
Ok, plan B….lie
“My doors uh..stuck…won’t open..sorry!” I said sweetly. Wow I suck at lying.
“Your door. Is. Stuck” He said slowly. Yeah, it sounded even worse when he said it.
“Yep”
“Really”
“Absolutely”
“So you wouldn’t mind if I got a coat hanger and unlocked your door from the outside?” He suggested. I could almost picture the smirk on his face. Dammit.
Play it cool Amy
“You could try that” I said calmly.
I heard him walk away and I let out a sigh of relief.
A few seconds later I could hear a rattling noise at my door. I froze when I realised what was going on. He was actually trying to unlock my door.
I saw the lock flip upwards allowing my door to be opened. I ran forward and shoved myself against the door with all my strength.
Well this is pathetic
You got a better plan?
Go grab the tennis racket and-
NO!
I felt force pushing on the door as Nate tried to open it.
“Amy are holding the door?”
“Noooo….why would you think that?”
“No reason” He said his voice uneven.
I knew that voice. It meant he was hiding something. He was going to do something.
Wait, he better not-
The door flew open making me fly into my bed hitting my head on the bedside table. I can’t believe he rammed my door. And how the hell did he push me so far? My poor door…
Nate stood over me with a smirk clearly on his face.
“Stuck huh?”
I don’t want to admit it but my eyes flitted over to the tennis racket for a second.
