I stare at my phone in shock. I drop my phone and open the door, I look around but no one's there. The hall is
empty. I go back in and lock the door picking up my phone. The screen shows a picture, of me and Rowan kissing out in the hall. I call Rowan, he picks up after the first ring.

"Hey, everything okay?" He can hear the shakiness in my breath

"Can you come to my room please it's important!" I say urgently

"Yeah, yeah I'm on my way right now."

He hangs up and about a minute later he opens the door. I get up and shove my phone in his hands. He looks at the picture and his eyes widen.

"Who did this come from?" He asks me

"I have no clue. There's no number."

He locks the door behind him. I look at him scared. I don't know what to think. I feel tears start to form in my eyes.

"Hey it's gonna be okay." He puts his arms around me, hugging me. His embrace is warm and comforting.

"Could you stay here tonight? I don't wanna be alone."

"I uh yeah sure. What about Bianca where's she gonna be.

"I don't know." I reply "thank you though."

He nods, and says "can I go get my stuff really quick?" He lets go of me

"yeah"

"I'll be quick, i promise." He says as he walks out the door.

He's back in 5 minutes. He's in gray sweatpants and a black shirt. He puts his bag on the floor next to my bed and sits on my bed. He pulls out his inhaler and takes a breath of it. I sit on the bed next to him and put my head on his shoulder. I hold his hand. I stay there for a minute and then look up at him. His eyes meet mine, he takes his other hand and cups the side of my face and kisses me. The kiss deepens, I let go of his hand and put it on his shoulder rubbing his neck. He continues to kiss me, taking the hand that was on my face and putting it in my hair. His other hand is on my waist. I move my legs so I'm now straddling him. The kisses get more rough. I pull back and look at him. He starts to turn red. I give him one last kiss and get off of him, he looks disappointed.

"Why'd you stop?" He whines

"I just think that's enough for tonight.." I blush as I say this

"Okay. Maybe just one more?" He looks at me

"Fine." I lean in and kiss him again. I lay down and grab my blanket trying to cover myself accidentally kicking Rowan in the back. He looks back at me and grabs my leg.

"Hey!"

"Sorry!" I laugh slightly as he lays down next to me. He puts his arm around me, there's only a dim light on Bianca's side of the room that's on.

"We're gonna be okay, you know that right?" He says to me

"Yeah. It's just scary."

"I know but it's not like we're helpless. I mean if me ever need we can just." he uses his telekinesis to pick up a stuffed animal and pin it against the wall. I laugh at him.

"Put him down! He didn't do anything!"

"You don't know that y/n." He grabs his inhaler and takes a breath in.

"Thank you again for staying here tonight." I tell him

"anything for you, love."

"Goodnight Rowan."

"Goodnight."

I'm only asleep for about an hour before I hear the whispers again

"be careful of the outreach sparks" it whispers to me jolting me awake I sit up quickly. Rowan wakes up too. My breathing is rapid and I'm slightly shaking. Rowan puts his hand on my back.

"hey, hey what's wrong?" He asks me concerned

My breathing starts to calm, I stutter as I try to explain.

"I- I keep hear-" I gasp for breath "hearing these whispers at n- night."

"What have they been saying"

"They been.. almost warning me I think."

"What did they say this time?" He asks

"Be careful of the outreach sparks." I look at him to see if he has an idea as to what it means, my breathing going back to normal. He looks just as confused as I am hearing those words.

"Outreach day. It's tomorrow." He says

"Sparks, a fire maybe?" I say

"Maybe." He replies

I lay back down and take a deep breath. Rowan lays back down too but this time he grabs ahold of my waist. I put my hand on his back rubbing it gently. We agree to talk about it tomorrow and fall back asleep. My alarm goes off in the morning again, the same annoying sound. I turn it off and Rowan groans and holds me tight me not letting me get up.

"Rowan we gotta get up."

"Just five more minutes? I just wanna lay here with you."

"Cmon we're gonna be late if we don't get up." I say. He looks up at me

"Fine." He says slightly disappointed. He kisses my cheek and gets up and heads over to his bag getting his stuff out to change into. I get up to and grab my uniform. I walk into the bathroom and shut the door so I can change. I start to brush my teeth when I hear a knock on the bathroom door. I open the door and Rowan has his toothbrush and toothpaste in his hand.

"Can I?" He gestures to the sink I step aside and let him brush his teeth too. He's so hot right now, with his messy hair, no glasses. Not to mention his hands. They're very masculine, and veiny. I smile looking at him, my toothbrush still in my mouth.

"What?" He mumbles.

I shake my head moving closer to the sink to spit out my toothpaste. I put my toothbrush away and brush my hair while he finishes brushing his teeth. He tries to fix his hair but it just isn't working.

"Here" I say pulling out a bottle from under the sink and spraying it into my hands. I reach up and fix his hair, it's working better now.

"Thanks" he says smiling

He's so fucking cute.

I kiss him and finish getting around. As the speakers turn on and Principal Weems announces that everybody needs to head to the quad to get there assigned place for the day.
