A String of Hope

Chapter 4: Mystery man

My alarm had went off out of no where. I groaned and pressed snooze. I had a headache and I was yet to see the sun rise. As I calmly put my self back to sleep I heard a shuffling noise in my sheets and a arm fell on me. I quickly got up with my covers and screamed.
All of a sudden a man jumped up half naked. As he stood there he began to turn red. "Theo what the hell are you doing in my apartment" I asked. "I heard you crying and then I heard glass break so I took the key under the mat and came in" he responded.
Suddenly I was bubbleling with fury. I told him to just put on his clothes and to wait in the living room while I take a shower. I left my phone on the dresser in my room without even considering we did anything and went to the bathroom. I turned on the water and got ready to go in the shower.
10 MINUTES LATER

I came out the shower and wrapped myself in the towel. Theo lives next door to me. He's always kinda peeping at me through his bedroom window. He can be pretty cool guy at times but he's kind of a creep.
I walked quickly into my room shut it and locked it with the clothes I recently had on in my hand. I quickly got dressed and walked out my room. I walked down the hallway and slowly approached the living room to see Theo sitting there confused.
"Hey umm would you like some tea or coffee and something to eat" I asked him with my head pounding. He looked up to see if it was me, then nodded solemnly. I walked to my island bar to set up a place mat but I stopped suddenly at the sound of crunching of glass. I looked down to see broken glass scattered with a whine stain in my cream carpet.
I went to the sink and filled up the electric kettle then plugged it in and turned it on. When it was done I poured some hot water onto the tea bag in a merry x-mas teacup. Then I put some jimmy dean sausage on the stove and two slices of bread in the toaster.
As I was bringing him his cup of tea he called out and said "so where is Hope". My heart sunk a little in the moment. It took me a second to respond, but I did. "She decided to stay at her grandmothers house, but talking about that I have to go pick her up soon" I said sadly.
"Oh okay I'll hurry up then but one more question how old is she" he queried. "Shes ten, I had her when I was twenty and Tyrrell when I was sixteen" I said. He sat there in silence until I brought him his breakfast. He said thankyou and began to eat. When he was finished he got up and began to walk himself out. I walked over to him by the door. As I stood there he said with a little smirk " thankyou for breakfast and last night". I laughed and lightly shoved his shoulder. Then as he was leaving he turned around and his smirk faded into a look of terror. Then he screamed " Melissa watch out". Then I looked back and saw a dish flying my way. I fell to the ground and saw a blurred vision of him and a black shadow passed, then I was out.
