Red River Avenue

Chapter 7: The Fall

I finally decided we should get back to our dorms after the long car ride. I just wanted Sarah to get some sleep after the news she heard earlier this morning. She honestly was exhausted, I felt bad for dragging her with me, but she insisted we get coffee and we did, she wanted to walk and talk. But I'm still embarrassed for yelling at James. I don't know, it just seemed odd to me, I've never thought that's how guys show affection or flirt.

We get to the dorms and I wake Sarah up after I parked. "how long was I out?", Sarah asks. "a couple hours, I decided to drive around to let you sleep, I felt like it was a good idea.", I state. "awe that's so sweet, I mean yeah I definitely needed more sleep, I just didn't expect to be out here snoozing in your car for 2 hours", Sarah replied. We leave my car and walk into the dorms. "why is it so cold in here, does nobody know how to leave the thermostat alone, Jesus.", Sarah yells. The thermostat in the hallway is literally at 60 degrees, its in the middle of January and its still 20 degrees outside and people still want to be cold. What the hell is wrong with people nowadays. "maybe we should let the maintenance office know, I don't want to mess with it and fuck everything up", Sarah says.

We let them know about the thermostat issue and head to our room. Why is the door open, I don't think I forgot to close it when we left did I? "why is our door left open, did you forget to close it?", I asked. "oh yeah I must've left it open when we left, its not the first I swear" Sarah replies. Oh, thank god, I was thinking of a few ideas that may have occurred with the door being opened. I was hoping someone forgot to shut it and not my stalker lying in my bed when we walked in. we enter the room and I set my bags down in the chair in front of the vanity. Sarah stretches her ams, and jumps into her bed and closes her eyes and just like that, shes out like a light. How can someone fall asleep so fast. I think to myself about how she needed this, so I took the intuitive to clean the bathroom because our pillows and blankets are still on the floor, two bottles are lying around the bathtub, and tissues with smeared mascara are everywhere.

I pickup all the blankets and fold them neatly and place them in our closet. We use these for extra people or just to change our comforters. I then go back into the bathroom to pickup the empty bottles of fireball, and as I'm grabbing the second bottle, I see a small piece of paper behind the toilet, it looks like it's a note, but the writing is in red? What the hell. I pickup the paper, and open it. "Did you really think I forgot about you, Mary?". This wasn't just any ordinary note, this was for me, this was definitely meant to scare me. Its written in red, like its some kind of clue. Its not any clue to me, we left our door open for 7 hours. He's here, he found me, and all this time I thought was crazy, but I've been seeing him everywhere, I knew it. I'm not going to wake up Sarah, but I'm not going to let that creepy bastard come in our room and leave me sick fucking notes like this.

I leave the bathroom and go straight to the door. I lock the top lock and the bottom one. I head to the window, I slightly open the curtains so the light doesn't disturb Sarah. I lock the top of the window, pressing up to make sure its locked. I look out the window, I take a look to the right and just stare. Nothing but people walking to class, two girls are walking back into the building, and some guy is just laying in the grass. Oh, wait not anymore, pretty sure the two security guards walking towards him are about to wake him up and force him to get of the property. Why is this somewhat fun to watch, I mean hell why would you just lay on the grass in the middle of campus and except not to get caught. Oh wait, he's naked, what in the world. He has some nerve, but this is funny, I try not to laugh so loud, because I don't want to wake up Sarah, but what are they feeding these kids here. I laugh for a few minutes; the guards have woken the man up. He has some writing on his chest, its in black marker. What the hell, it says my name, my name, why my name? "he's here Mary." what is going on, I'm so confused, why would some random guy have my name on his chest, and literally lying on the ground in the view of my window. I'm going to go down there and see what the hell is going on.
