Secrets Between Us

Unknown Number

Elizabeth's POV:
My phone buzzes from under my pillow waking me from a deep sleep. I look at the time and it's only 5:00am. Who is texting this early In the morning. I read the banner, 1 unopened message.
So I click on the banner half asleep I read the number it's unknown maybe someone has the wrong number but I open the message anyways. Now my eyes are wide open as I read another message from X.
"You can change your look and style but you can't change the past soon everyone will know who you are and what you did. I will make sure of it. X"
Why can't they leave me alone. It was one stupid friends only party. I moved just so this wouldn't Happen and changed my number so I couldn't be reached. What do I do mom just got a good job I can't tell her she will make me move again. I'm not going to sit here I'm going to fight back.
I click so I can type and i reply
"Alright what do you want other than to make my life hell? I don't know you and you don't know me stop messaging."
A typing bubble popped up but no chat appeared. No, something much worse did.
An image of my house. The one I just moved to and am in right now.
I jump out of bed fear struck through my whole body. Walking over to peak through my blinds I see no one. The street is desolate below. That must have been taken prior.
I flip the phone In my hand and text one more time.
"Ok you want to play that game, go right ahead. But when I find out who this is, u will pay cause I take that photo as a threat."

Before they can respond I archive the text and put my phone down. Not the best way to start my morning but I'm up now.
I walk over to the boxes in the corner of the room mom must have brought them up.
Top box was marked fragile so carefully open it up it has all my wall decor nothing to fragile just a jewelry box and posters.
I start to take the posters out and get to work. I'm about 2 hours in and my room is done! Took me long enough.
I step back to admire my room jut when mom walks in rubbing her eyes I must have woke her.
"Hey mum what do you think!"
"it's definitely decorated. Are you sure you want your room to look so boyish?"
I look at it yea it has a lot of marvel and comic posters and Spider-Man but I don't like pink or that one ugly greenblue most girls like. Mom supported my like for "guy things" to an extent she said i would never be allowed to ware guy cloths. But she does bed that a little for me since I love fashion.
"I think it's different and me you know I was never into girly stuff the only girly stuff I'm into is fashion." I laugh.
I've always been a tomboy so I'm used to the strange looks people give when the come over.

As I finish my thought there's a knock on the door downstairs. I tell mom I'll get it since she's in a robe. I walked downstairs and open the door to meet a familiar gaze looking down at me.

"We'll good morning." He said in a cheeky tone.
I don't want to see him right now it's only 7:30 in the morning on a weekend.
As I look around I respond
"Hey. Do you normally greet your neighbors this early in the morning?"
"Nope I was just getting back from a run , and I wanted to say 'hey' I guess I forgot some people aren't morning people."
Now that I look at him I could see he just got done running. He was wearing a compression shirt and sweatpant shorts. His brown hair was all damp and stuck to his forehead. Some hairs curled. I wanted to reach out and move it.  I shook my head slightly hoping it would get rid of my thoughts.

" Yea, no. Not A morning person, if you came at 10 rather than 7 think I'd be a little bit more welcoming." I chuckle.
He raised an eyebrow an said the craziest thing.
"Alright 10 do you want to go out and get to know each other over coffee or go to the mall ?"
Did he just- what makes him think I want to know him.
I know that sounds harsh but I have a bad vibe about him after last night. But considering last night, I do kinda want to know what he was doing.  I think for a moment and I come to the decision. He looked at me like he was trying to read my mind. Good thing he can't cause right now I'm thinking of his shirt and how it outlines every muscle on his upper torso and... alright back to what he asked me. I take a second and I bite my cheek and respond.
"10:30 but your driving and the mall sounds fun." He smiles, I think he was worried.  Na, he probably was just being normal.
"Alright deal." He said and walked back to his house. I closed the door when he got to the side walk. Last thing I needed was for him to see me staring at him walk away.
I walk upstairs what do I ware. And what questions am I going to ask..
