Murderer in me

Part 6

Mathew was standing on the doorframe, his eyes going around whatever was going on on my bed. "Oh no, I was so focused on the problem at hand then my surroundings" I think to myself as I take off my glasses and look at him with afraid eyes. This is something he wasn't supposed to see. "What do I do? What do I say? Why isn't he saying anything?" I look back at my bed and ignore him. "If I looked at him, what face would he have?", my thoughts are running wildly and I couldn't focus on my arm anymore. Suddenly I feel his hands running through my hair "Need help?" his soothing voice asked me. I couldn't help but smile and close my eyes, my head leaning against it a little. "Let me help you" his gentle accent said again. I opened my eyes and looked at him pink on the ears. He was smiling as his hand never stopped petting my hair. I look down and nod a little. "This is so embarrassing" I think to myself as I see him sitting down from the corner of my eye. I looked at him as he took my arm from my free hand. I lifted my legs up and rest my head on my knees, not taking my eyes off of him. He was looking at my arm like if it was some kind of art piece in a museum. It felt nice, but weird. "No Ryan! Remember he's your target! He's not the type of guy to fall for! Stop daydreaming here!" and with those thoughts in mind I looked away again. I put on my glasses once more and get a little closer to him to look at the bullet hole. "Can you just hold it? I know what i have to fix" I asked taking out some more thinned wire and put them besides the bigger one. I start fixing the hole with the wire, since there was some electricity left crackling, i just used that same energy to conduct it all.

Once I was done with the actual electrical work, I tested it out and it worked fine. "Now for the tricky part. Fixing the actual hole" I sigh saying this words mostly to myself. Mathew stood up and went to look for a box under his bed. He took out what seemed like a laser from it and plugged it in. "Don't worry, it won't do any damage to metal" he said with a smiled on his face. "Wait, only metal? Then does that mean it can damage other things?" I thought smiling back at him, big sweats running my back.  As he started to laser the hole none existent, I started to sew my glove back. It was hard at first, since I only have one arm technically; but i got the hang of it afterwards and it was all easy. Like I said, Sai was usually the one helping me with this, but I heard she was out on a date with Rui, another one of the roommates.

Sai and Rui room with Jack and Dolly along with Monique and Pua. Since they share the master room with the adults, they're basically divided. Jack and Dolly sleep in one Queen size bed and Sai, Rui, Pua and Monique sleep in two bunkbeds. I've never seen their closet, but I don't want to imagine it.

I chuckle at myself for no reason as I finish sewing. I look over to Mathew to see his process just to find him leaning against the wall asleep. Yeah, I can guess why he's tired. He came here late and the sound of my screams woke him up early. I smiled looking at him "Maybe I should just let him be", I think while my hand move on its own to grab my arm then pull the blanket over him. I connect my arm back to myself and pull the glove up sewing it back to myself. It did hurt and sting a little, but it was something I was already used to. I stand up and open the door. Dots came running inside and went directly to my bed "Ah ah! Behave, He's asleep ok?" I tell him in a loud hushed voice. Dots lays down besides Mathew; I smile and organize my bed. Take out the tool box and put away the sewing box. I take my phone and sit on Mathews bed, pop out the camera app and take a picture of them. I smiled like an idiot as I kept staring at the picture. "What the hell man? He's an enemy remember? Your boss wants him DEAD" my consciousness was talking to me again, I didn't like how most times he's been right. I kept the picture to myself and looked up at the actual thing. I couldn't help but really smile, he was so my type. I could've just eaten him that morning he came into a clearer view. That's right though, he's a murderer. I lay down on his side of the bed and sink my head into his pillow. His smell was so unique, like you know he was from England. I start dozing off and eventually I fell asleep.

I had a very strange dream at that moment. I was in the middle of a one post lit street, it was snowing and I wasn't dressed for the occasion. I was shivering and out of nowhere I fell something over my shoulders. It startled me so I immediately jumped to get distance. I looked behind to see Mathew with a coat on his hands. He was dressed for the occasion. Mathew walked closer with what looked like a sinister smile. I couldn't move, no matter how much I tried. I looked at the figure walking closer and closer and a shiver went down my back when I saw his footprints. They were covered in blood, just like his shoes. I look back up at him again and now his whole body was covered by blood. I started shaking even more when he got even closer. He didn't say anything and just gently put the coat on me. I stopped shaking and looked up at him. He gave me a warm smile then went behind me and hugged me. I let out a sigh and smile and just then I felt it. Something in my back started to feel cold again. My front was warm thanks to the coat but my back is getting colder faster. I feel a liquid running down my back and my legs. Is this it? I look down at my stomach and see the knife he stabbed me with. How come I didn't feel anything in the front? Is it because of the coat? Who cares, I'm feeling it all over now. "You should've picked your battles better Ryan" he said. But it wasn't Mathews voice, this one was more hoarse and it didn't have the accent. It was American, I recognized it. It was my bosses voice.

With that in mind I woke up by a jump in sweats, I was sitting there on his bed sweating. I looked over to my bed to find him gone and looked outside the window to see that it was sunset already. "Hey, woke up? You'll be late for the party if you don't start getting ready soon" Nathan was on my doorframe. I looked at him and nodded "Can you tell Sai to come over first? I need to talk to her" I hold onto the sheets tightly. The sheets? I didn't have the sheets on when I fell asleep, was this him?
