The rebound.

32.

Later that night Trevor leaves my house at 6.30 to head into his work meeting. I head upstairs trying to find my phone when I see a black car with tinted windows parked across the street. I raise my eyebrows curious and look towards my Alexa. I raise my eyebrow and look around my room once more "Alexa find my phone." I head towards my bedroom door as it rings. I listen to the ringing coming from downstairs "got you!" I head downstairs and spot my phone in the kitchen. I press answer then hang up straight away ending the call.

I grab a bottle of soda before heading towards the living room and lying on the sofa. "Please let there be something good on TV." I grab the TV remote and flick through the TV guide for a few minutes "didn't think so!" I roll my eyes and stand up turning the TV off "Netflix it is." I grab my phone and soda before heading towards the stairs.

As I turn my lights off and get ready for bed I can't help but look out the window where the black car is still parked. I raise my eyebrows and take a deep breath "hmm. Weird." I get into bed and begin texting Trevor. "Hey! I know you probably won't want to be bothered in your meeting but did you happen to get my house watched?" I send the text and before I can even place my phone down it rings.

I look at it and smile when I see Trevor's number "hello?" I answer it confused "what kind of car?!" I hear a car door slam on his end "what?" The car on his end speeds off "what kind of car is it?!" I stand up and look out the window "a black one?" I laugh nervously and shrug "I don't know?" I sit back down and turn my TV on "it's probably one of the neighbours." I look towards my phone and shrug "I'm going to sleep so will see you tomorrow." He laughs nervously as the car drives faster "I will see you in 2 minutes." He hangs up and I raise my eyebrow "ok?" I turn on Netflix and flick through.

Before I get a chance to stick something on I hear a car speed down my street. I quickly jump up and see the black car speed away as another car drives down the street. I look towards my bedroom door before quickly running out it and downstairs.

I run towards my front door and check if it's locked. I take a deep breath and look towards my scar as I feel myself panic. I fall onto the floor beside the door when I hear someone knocking. I close my eyes and stick my head between my legs trying to block it out. "Lola?!" I look towards the door when I hear Trevor's voice "Trevor?" My panic attack stops instantly and I stand up opening the door flinging myself into his arms. He cuddles me and strokes my head "it's ok." He closes the door and locks it "I'm here now."
