I was walking to my locker after 4th period so I could put my books away and go to the library for the last hour and a half of school. I hadn't run into Andrès yet but I spoke to soon when I felt a hand on my shoulder and I fell to the floor covering my face with a flashback of last night.

The tall being kneeled down so he was levelled to my face and I could tell it was Andrès but I didn't want to look or move my hands. "Dopey? Whats going on?" He asked moving my hands away from my face. I cant have him knowing about this at all but I knew if I stayed quiet he'd keep asking me.

I smiled and said "I'm just kidding around don't worry!" I chuckled and got up, he seemed confused at first but didn't question me anymore thankfully. I put my books in my locker and made my way to the library with Andrès besides me asking me why I didn't answer my phone and where I was going that day.

"I was going for coffee because I was craving a mocha and I was going to call you after you called me a couple times but my phone died and I forgot to charge it when I got home sorry" I lied as we both sat in our usual spots at the back of the library. "Ok, well I'm not sorry for what I said dopey" he winked as I playfully rolled my eyes.

Soon enough school was over but I didn't want to go home so I lied again saying I had an essay to re write so I had to stay behind so that Andrès wouldn't wait for me. After he had left I was about to put my headphones in but my phone rang 'Jason'

"Hello?" I asked wondering why he called me after school because normally he just comes to where I am if he wants to talk to me. "Noah's here to pick us up where are you?" He asked "Oh I had an essay to re write and I thought I'd just do it in school so I can give it to my teacher after" I lied, I really really didn't want to go home at all. "Oh ok well call one of us to pick you up when your done ok?" He said confused because he knows I never stay behind to do anything but I simply agreed and ended the call.

About an hour went past and all I did was drown out everything with music because I just wanted some sort of escape whether it be in real life or in my mind. I packed my stuff and made my way out of school and clicked on Jackson's contact knowing he'd be less busy "Hey princess what up" he said the second he answered "can you pick me up from school please?" I said quietly whilst I stood in the parking lot "didnt you finished school like an hour ago?" He said "Yeah but I stayed behind to finish some work" I lied once again "Ok im on my way princess" as I ended the call my eyes landed on the dark, empty parking lot.

I saw a man coming closer and closer and before I knew it I was back to last night buried underneath Dean, he was choking me and I grabbed my throat coughing, trying to catch my breath. I was brought out my flashback when Jackson ran up to me rubbing my back "Princess, calm down your okay, breathe for me ok?" He said pulling me into a hug.

After I caught my breath we walked to the car in silence. We sat in the car before Jackson broke the silence "Whats going on princess, you were really quiet this morning and just now you thought you were being choked. You know you can tell me anything right?" He said looking over at me with worry evident in his eyes. "I'm ok I promise" I lied giving him a small smile, he didn't question me further and the rest of the drive home was silent.

Soon enough we were home, I didn't want to see Dean, I didn't want to even be in my bedroom and I certainly want no memory of what had happened last night. I shut the door behind me and locked it but the second I turned around I was met with none other than the monster himself giving me his sickening grin. I brushed past him and walked to Noah's room.

I hesitantly knocked on the door and when he opened it the same worry look made it's way to his face. "What's wrong sweetheart?" He asked bringing me inside. "Nothing, I was uhm just wondering if I could maybe sleep in here for tonight?" I said looking up at him as a grin made its way to his face "of course you can sweetheart! I'll get the air mattress, go change into your pyjamas" he said and he excitedly went downstairs to the storage room.

I didnt want to go in my bedroom and just my luck Jason walked past "Jason" I called "Can you get me some pyjamas from my closet, I'm uhm doing a challenge and I can't leave Noah's room" I lied, I hate lying to them but I can never bring up what had happened to anyone.

He groaned but went into my room and not long later came back with my purple silk pyjamas "anything else your majesty" he said sarcastically "no my faithful servant you may go" I said as a grin made its way to his face.

Me and Noah have been binge watching almost every Disney movie before he said it's time for bed even though it was a Friday he thought 2am was too late, what a baby. "Goodnight honey I love you" he said kissing my forehead before climbing into his bed "Night Noah I love you too" I said getting comfy on the air matress.

After tossing and turning I checked my phone, 3:25am. I look over at Noah and he was fast asleep, I chose to sleep in Noah's room because Jason sleep walks around his room and I'd rather not get trampled, Alex snores loud, Jackson wakes up at 5am to go to the gym on the weekends and if he saw me awake he'd question me for sure. Where as Noah falls asleep straight away, and is a very heavy sleeper.

Lets just say I got no sleep whatsoever, I mean how could I? I constantly looked at the door scared for my life that he'd come and do it again even if I'm sleeping.
