The Boy Next Door

Home

It was evening. Ben is irritating me a lot. I don't how he knows my birthday or where am I. He is making me scared. He is giving me jump scares.

I heard a knock on the door. I spoke "Who ever came, just go away. I don't want to open the door. Bye"

But there was continuous knocking "Are you deaf? I said go away"

Still there was knocking. I had to open the door.
"Liam... Why did you come again? Why are you always in front of my eyes?"
"I don't know just want to come."
"And why that bag in your hand? Are you going somewhere? And came to say bye to me?"
"Nah... Where will I go?"
"Then?"
"I came to live here with you. For a single day"
"What? Are you insane? You are being ridiculous."
"I just want to explore your house"
"What is your problem? I want to shout at you but I don't want to. Because, you saved me. But you can't live here"
"You are not at all grateful" he smirked in sadness.
"Ok come on! don't give that expression! You are making me feel guilty"

He ran in happily.

"Just don't steal anything"
"Oh come on Florence, why would I?"
"Cause you used to when we were small"
He rolled his eyes.
"I really feel sorry for your future wife"
" Oh you don't need to feel sorry for your self"
"What?!"

I spoke "What? What did you say?"
"Me? Nothing?"
"No you said something" I said suspicious.
"Come on Florence! I said nothing! And I'm going to choose my room" He said pushing me aside and going upstairs.

Liam's point of view

It is 1 at night. All lights off. We both were seeing "Annabelle". Florence was hiding behind a pillow and me staring at her.
"Why are you so scared?"
"Cause it's scary!" She said while drinking the while cup of soup kept.
" Why did you drink whole? I was going to take some"
"If you want to drink so much, some more is on the stove. You go chop veggies and put and drink it. Okay?"

I went near the stove and started chopping vegetables.

Suddenly I heard a know on the door.
Florence got up and was going to open the door. She was walking slowly, because she was very scared. I came near her with the knife in my hand still.
"Why are you seeming like you are going to chop me?" She said as the knife was almost near her neck and walking towards the door.

"Girls should not open door at night. Let me open"

I went and opened, behind me was Florence.

We saw a drunk person standing.
Florence spoke "Ben...?"
As he was drunk he was not able to balance his self and was going to fall on Florence, but I came in between.

He spoke "Florence, please listen to me once. Only once, I will not disturb you again"
I spoke "How do you know her address? And why did you come at night 1?"
He did not respond to me and spoke "Florence just once"

Florence took a long breath and started walking out with him.
I held her hand and spoke "Florence but..."
She mouthed "One last time"

I went inside a took a cold drink. I was thinking about the situation there.

After some time

Florence ran in panting, closed the door quickly. She sat leaning on the door, heavily breathing. She was looking scared and calm at the same time.

Noah's point of view

I and Janice were going to have lunch.
As we sat to order, two ladies cane to us and exclaimed in Japanese "Congratulations! You are our 1000th couple to enter. You both look very beautiful"
I understood Japanese, but not janice.
She asked" what are they speaking?"
I translated "They say that we are a beautiful couple and the 1000th couple, so it's a celebration"

Janice said in a bit sad tone " oh wow. But not for long"
I think Janice too likes me, I smiled to my self.

I translated to the staff " She is saying that we are going to marry soon."
Them in Japanese "Oh wow Congratulations!"

After we had our meal, the same staff came and asked us if they can click our pictures. They clicked our pictures and showed us. I took a marker kept there and drew a heart on it and wrote 'Janice' in the heart in Japanese.
"What did you write" she asked
"Your name"

She smiled and took the marker from my hand and made a heart and wrote in it 'Noah'.

"I don't know how to write in Japanese, so English"

We smiled at each other.

The staff took the photo and pinned it on the wall in centre with others couple pictures.

Hope you all guys like it and please support me!
