【Part 24: Confusion】「Satoshi」

Chapter 24: Confusion

I held my breath. I looked around my room for a weapon, and saw my baseball bat laying on the corner of my room. I grabbed it along with my cellphone. I didn't want to call the cops unless I was sure someone was in the house.

I slowly tiptoed out my room. Luckily my floors didn't creak. I peeked downstairs from the top floor. I saw my front door was untouched. I slowly crept downstairs, and peeked at my kitchen. All the windows, and doors were untouched. What the fuck was that noise?! I started panicking.

I quietly went back upstairs, and locked my door. I called Hiro. He picks up.

"Hey? What's up?"

My breathing was heavy. I felt like I was about to have a panic attack any moment. "H-Hiro I heard a t-thud..." I couldn't speak normally. The paranoia has really gotten to me.

"Call the police!" He immediately says.

"No. If it is no one, they will cha-"

"I'll pay. Just call them! I'm heading over." He hangs up. No! I wanted him on the line.

I felt my chest which was thumping so quickly I couldn't even consider it a beat a second. I started sweating as I heard another thud.

BOOM! Thunder roared, and my body jolted up in fright. I quickly opened my window, and went to grab the rope ladder. I picked up the splinter kit, and album, and shoved it in my book bag. I carried that on my back, and made sure to keep my cellphone in my pocket.

I released the rope ladder, and climbed down my window. The rain was pouring hard, and I saw I was almost at the bottom of the ladder. Suddenly I felt arms grabbing me, and I let out a horrifying scream.

"GET OFF ME!!!!" I wiggled around trying to break free.

"Calm down Satoshi!" Hiro shouted. I turned to see a very soaked Hiro. He looks worried. "What are you doing?" He asks.

"Escaping." My eyes were budged out open, and my heart was beating way too fast for my liking.

"Come on." He takes my good wrist. My other wrist was still in the process of getting healed.

We made it to his dorm, and he locks up. I shook my head, trying to get some of the water out of my hair.

Hiro goes over, and wraps a towel around my head, and starts drying my hair off. "Sorry I didn't bring an umbrella." He says quietly.

"It's fine. I'm so glad you are here. You have no idea how scared I am." I felt my face getting ugly. Almost like when you are about to cry. Your face wrinkles, and there was no turning back.

He smiles weakly. "Yeah I'm here. Don't worry." I looked at his green eyes. They were dark today. I could tell something was bothering him, but what was it?

"Is anything wrong?"

He forces a smile, and shakes his head. "I'm just worried for you silly." Our foreheads were touching, and he holds me closely.

I found myself smiling. "I am okay. Just scared."

"Did you bring your toothpaste?" He asked as he points to my book bag that was on the couch.

"No. Just some books." I lied.

"Why would you carry that?" He looks suspicious.

"It's important to me. My family photos." I felt the lies pouring out. I wasn't completely lying since Kazuo is family to me, and it was an album.

"Oh. That is very thoughtful. Would you like something to drink?"

"No." My mind was too focused on Kazuo. Where did he go?
