The Boy Two Doors Down

Chapter 1 - Meeting the Boy Two Doors Down

(A/N) - Heyo! I'm Nyx. A...writer? Author? IDK at this point. This is my first attempt at writing a book so it will probably be trash but we'll see how it goes. If you made it this far, thanks and I hope you enjoy this.

Disclaimer: By the way, some strong language will be used in this book.

*Beep! Beep! Beep-Beep!*

"Ugh..."

Jessica Sanders rolled over to the side and smashed her hand on the alarm clock, silencing it for the day. She pulled back the curtains to reveal a gray and gloomy sky. Jessica sighed. So much for a warm day. She headed into the shower to take a bath, grateful for the hot water provided. Suddenly, the lights flickered off. 

"Mel, if that is you, I swear to God I will beat you with my brush!", Jessica threatened.

Jessica heard giggles coming from the other side of the door. She knew it did indeed belong to Mel. Her real name was actually Marissa Halmer but she was an avid Elden Ring gamer and She loved Melina so much people started calling her Mel. After her shower, Jessica came out with casual clothes on and a towel wrapped around her hair. She glared at Mel, who was eating cereal. As Jessica passed by, she whacked Mel's head with her brush, carrying out the threat. Mel looked up and gave a cheeky grin. 

"What's up?" She asked, faking obliviousness which was contrary to what was shown on her face. 

Jessica sighed and whacked one more time for good measure. 

"You know what's up." 

A sizzling sound caught Jessica's attention and she smelt one of the best things in the morning other than coffee, bacon. By the stove was Yasmine Stoke. Yasmine was extroverted by heart and would never pass up a chance of a party. However, she was actually really responsible and was pretty much a proven housewife. Jessica stared at Yasmine with puppy eyes as she silently pleaded for a strip or two of the treasured bacon. Yasmine rolled her eyes and placed two strips of bacon with some scrambled eggs on the side. 

"Jes, you need to learn how to cook someday." Yasmine criticised. Jessica removed her towel and shook her blonde hair which were starting to reveal it's natural black colours. 

"Yas. What are you talking about? I made my own dinner last night." Yasmine raised an eyebrow. "Since when does toast count?" 

After finishing their breakfast and washing up, the three of them headed out of their university dorms. Yasmine handed Jessica the keys and before heading to classes. On the way there, Jessica looks up from her phone and groans. She sees a gang of bullies. The leader, Tyler Norton, was flirting with a freshman while there three others are watching. The three others were Hunter Port, who was pretty much the strongest guy on campus. However, he was pretty introverted and didn't talk much. Next to him was a guy with dirty blonde hair. His name was Matthew Brooks He's extremely charismatic and is an excellent public speaker. Last and most certainly the least is Danny Walker. His blue-framed spectacles gave off the typical nerd stereotype and that was true of him. However, he was able to dig up dirt on anybody. He was useful for exposing anyone who Tyler doesn't like. Together they were known as the 'FBI's  most hated'. 

(A/N) So uhh... here are what they in other stories/ TV shows.

Tyler Norton : Basically a university, charismatic and more intelligent version of Orc from the 'Gone' Series.

Matthew Brooks : Is basically Howard from the 'Gone' Series. (My favourite character along with Breeze).

Danny Walker : A Simon Kelleher from One Of Us Is Lying.

Hunter Port : Basically the quiet kid.

Edit : 'FBI's most hated'? I need to think of a new name. Smh.

(Back to story) 

(Jessica's PoV)

I let out an internal groan as I saw Tyler saunter to me. 

"Hey blondie." Tyler smirked.

"What do you want?" 

"Hmm...money? You? Take a guess."

"Knowing your broke ass it's money." I retorted. I heard 'oohs..' echo through the hallways. Tyler's eyes narrowed. 

"Wanna keep talking, blondie?" 

I smirk. "If you want to then send out Matthew. Because all you do is rely on others. You're useless by yourself." 

I hear more whoops across the room. 

"You're gonna pay for this. Just you wait." Tyler looked at me with menace in his eyes. I shrug. A typical response from a bully. I unscrewed my bottle of water and dumped water on Tyler before running while laughing. I couldn't here his response but I knew it was bad. At lunch, I had a salad alongside Yasmine and Mel. I knew Tyler was waiting to exact revenge. After school, I was walking to my dorm. However, I was cornered my Tyler, Hunter and Matthew. 

"Hello, Blondie. Miss me?" I took a step back but Hunter and Matthew took both of my arms and pinned them behind my back. I broke down as a tear fell down my eye. "Tyler, that was a joke. I swear. Just, please don't hurt me." Tyler smirked. "Don't worry. We're just joking around too." 

"ARGH!" I screamed out in pain as I was punched my Tyler. He landed punch of punch on my stomach and face. After 20 minutes of pure torture, Matthew and Hunter let go of my hands. 

"Wait a minute, blondie." Tyler walked out. As he came in, I gulped. In his hands was a baseball bat. Matthew and Hunter looked afraid. "Bro, Ty, don't do that. That's too far man." Matthew objected. 
"Move out of the way, whiner." Tyler looked at Matthew with disgust.

Hunter held out his palm. "Don't. She's a girl. You're gonna get in trouble. She's deserved enough." Tyler was going to object but saw the look in Hunter's eyes. "Fine. Don't expect any mercy after this." 

The three of them left and I slumped to the ground. Broken and bruised. I started crying my lungs out. Just then, someone walks in with a box. I looked up. It was Hunter. 

"Come to laugh at me? After what you've done? Just leave me alone." I buried my head in my hands and sobbed. Hunter knelt down and opened the box. There were bandages, antiseptics and more. Hunter then did something I never expected. He started to nurse my wounds. He put antiseptic cream on my face with a cotton bud (a Q-tip). I Looked up and saw compassion in his eyes. "W-What are you doing?" Hunter gave me the bottle of cream, cotton buds and some bandages. "I don't think I should do this for your stomach. It would be inappropriate." I reluctantly cleaned my wounds as Hunter turned around. After I finished, I allowed Hunter to turn around. Hunter then passed me a hoodie. "What's this for?" Hunter raised an eyebrow. "Do you want people see me carrying you on my back?" I widened my eyes. "C-Carry me?! Why?!" Hunter sighed. "You can barely stand after what happened. Let alone walk." I looked up and gulped. I saw the sincerity in his eyes. "...Fine." I put on the hoodie which was surprisingly warm. I got on Hunter's back and he piggybacked me to my room. Wait, to my room? How did he know where my room was? Hunter let out a small smile as if he could read my mind. "I live two doors down from your dorm." 

After dropping me off, I noticed his cheeks turned a faint shade of red as he entered the dorm. As he sat me down the couch, he gave me a look. "Wait here. I'll be two minutes." After about a minute and a half, Hunter knocked on the door. I managed to get myself to the door and open it with struggle. The beatings had took a severe toll on me. Hunter passed me 2 bags and a walking stick. I rolled my eyes. "I'm not exactly disabled." Hunter gave a smirk which was unusual of him. "I had a feeling you would say that so I put some ankle supports and other things you may need in this bag. Oh and umm... it's not much but... here. It's my leftovers from last night. Eat it. I know you can't cook for one thing. I've heard Yasmine's grumbling." With that, Hunter quickly left. After sitting in silence and shock, I got up and immediately winced from the pain. I took the stick and used it. "Wow. I'm getting old." I laughed at myself and I headed over to the microwave. I heated up the food from Hunter which was some pasta with an Asian twist, using Miso paste and some mushrooms. After sitting down and eating it, my eyes shot up. "Damn... this is good." 

I placed the antiseptic cream on my wounds before applying plasters. My face turned into a grimace as I looked into the mirror. What would Yas and Mel say if they saw me like this? The two of them were at a party and I was planning on buying premade meals for dinner. As I hopped onto my bed after exiting the shower with slow steps and dried my hair, I started to fall asleep but not before I realised I forgot to thank Hunter. I shook my head. No. Hunter aided in this. But... he did help me. Plus, he is kind of cute. I smiled to myself before falling into a deep sleep. Thus began the strange relationship between myself and Hunter, the boy two doors down. 

(A/N) Heyo! Thanks for reading this chapter! Sorry if this is pure garbage as it's my first ever chapter. I honestly don't know why I started this. I just thought it would be cool. Once again, thank you so much for reading this!
