Chapter 3: Haylie P.O.V

There is one week until Halloween and I still haven't gotten a costume for Maia's party. Why can't that be the worst of my worries instead of this whole fued between Clarke and Brandon?? Brad has been so close to me since he moved here and I never saw how he felt before. I'm not sure what to make of it. I used to love him so much when I'd see him in set building. But I got that idea out of my head such a long time ago.Now I can't stop thinking about it. But Clarke is the sweetest guy.. Damn I hate this.

"Hey girlie, let's go costume shopping today, we are both in need of one", Tilly says as she comes up to me all smiley.

"What are you so happy about?"

"Oh nothing! What are you talking about"

"You were just talking to Alejandro, weren't you." I had a smirk on my face. Tilly was blushing like crazy. "Way to keep your cool weirdo, haha," I said to her, she just told me to shut up and then started laughing as we got in the jeep.

We went to the store and got our costumes, I got a "sexy zombie costume", and Tilly got a "sexy black cat costume". Both look ridiculous but that was the point of the party! We got back to my house and got ready to put in a movie when suddenly there is a knock at my door. I go to open it and see Stephon standing there.

"Um, hi? Stephon, what are you doing, is Axel with you?" I was so confused.

"No. He isn't. He doesn't need to be with me whenever I talk to someone. Cant I talk to people by myself? Im not a loner. Jeez", he was obviously not happy."Look, Haylie I came to talk to you. I was wondering if....", he trailed off as Talia came walking up behind me."What is SHE doing here??"

" We were about to watch a movie, it is my house remember", I didn't mean to sound so rude.

"Whatever. I got to go."

"Wait what were you about to say?"

"Nothing. Its nothing. But uh, one thing. Are you still dating Clarke?"

"Steph, get over it, that was TWO YEARS AGO!!", Tilly surprised me when she said that. Stephon and her dated her freshman year, he was a junior. And they broke up when Tilly started talking to Clarke and then they went out. I knew stephon has always been jealous but this was a little weird.

"Its not all about you Haylie, shut up and leave me alone." He then slammed the door and we stood there for a minute, trying to comprehend what just happened. I wondered what he was going to ask before Tilly had come over.

It was 10pm and Haylie had just left to go home. I was home alone because my parents were out with friends at a party. I sleepily walked upstairs to my room with my eyes half closed. I opened my bedroom door and turned on the lights, it took a minute for me to realize a figure standing by my bed. I grabbed a mirror I had sitting on my vanity and slowly walked towards the figure. Shaking like crazy. As I was walking over, my pocket started ringing. I recognized the ringtone, Clarke was calling me. I was reached into my pocket and slowly took it out, when before I knew it, it was knocked out of my hand and thrown across the room.

"WHAT THE HELL? WHO ARE YOU? SHOW YOURSELF, IM NOT AFRAID TO STAB YOU WITH THIS. GET AWAY FROM ME!" I was screaming and throwing things around in a panic. When the figure took a step towards me, I through the glass at them and heard a yelp. I had gotten them in the ankle and they started limping. Wow that was a better aim than I thought!

" What the hell was that for?" The figure said as they walked out of the dark and their face started to become visible.

"C...C..Clarke..?"

"Uh, yes. I..It's me. I wanted to see you". That definitely wasn't him. The voice wasn't even the same. Whoever it was, was wearing a mask.

"You aren't Clarke. Clarke wouldn't rip my phone out of my hands, plus Clarke was the one calling me. So nice try. Now get the fuck out."

"haha, smart girl.", He said so creepily, as he started to take off the mask. Only to reveal a ski mask underneath that burglars wear. I grabbed a sharp razor off my desk and backed up towards the door. I started to turn to run as I felt them grab my hand and yank me onto my bed.

"GET OFF ME", I screamed, kicking and punching whoever it was on top of me.

They started to lift up my shirt as I kept screaming. Then my phone rang again and they tied my hands to the post of my bed as they went to look at who it was.

"Why is Brandon calling you. Do you like him?" He sounded so deadpan.

"No, he likes me. Now im not saying anything else, I will call the police. Get away from me." I said as I struggled to untie myself.

" Brandon likes YOU?" His voice filled with rage, I almost peed myself how scared I was.

He then laughed as he walked over to me and crawled on top of me again. I screamed and screamed and kicked and screamed some more, but it was pointless. He held me down has he pulled up my shirt and started to unbutton my pants. He leaned down to kiss me, sticking his tongue deep into my mouth. I started gagging. Soon I felt his hands move down, I saw him start to unbutton his pants. right as he started pulling his pants down, I kneed him right in the balls. He fell off the bed grabbing his crotch and moaning in pain. I was able to wiggle around and loosen the ropes enough to break free and zip back up my pants. I yanked down my shirt and ran out of the room, locking my door behind me. I then ran downstairs and called 911. After doing that I called Maia, Lila, and Tilly to come over as soon as possible.

When the police got here, the guy had already jumped out the window and ran off in the moonlight. I never once got a glimpse of their face, so I had no description for the police to go by. Therefore not having any case for them. As the police pulled out, Mai, Lila, and Tilly came running up the walkway. I told them what had happened and showed them the destruction in my room. I sat on the floor crying, not knowing what to do and what to tell Clarke.

"I will hunt down that bastard and kill him with my own two hands if I have to." Tilly said as she clenched her fists. They then got on the floor around me, and hugged me as I sobbed some more into their arms.

And hour later after I pulled myself together, they said they would stay the night, to comfort me and make sure that creep doesn't come back.

The only thing running through my mind the rest of the night was what I would do when Clarke finds out.
