Schizophrenia [#Wattys2017]

[29] I Love Your Eyes?

Tess's POV

College was dead. I was completely bored and tired out of my wits.

At the moment, I'm at home. Alone. Doing Biology homework and eating pop tarts.

I lay back on my bed, feeling the muscles in my back loosen. I arc my back, stretching my body. Since I was worn out from working, I decided to take a rest.

I lazily put my college stuff onto my side desk and foot changed into my Arctic Monkeys night suit.
As I was about to snuggle into my comfortable bed, I was stopped by the find of the door bell ringing.

Who could possibly want anything to do with me at this time of day?

I slowly walked down the stairs, since I had no energy to move any faster.
As soon as I opened the front door, I see cute little Lily and Mr Joshua Asshole Young.

Why God, why? Why do you torture me?

"Hi," Lily innocently murmured. She was hugging onto any Olaf plush in her PJs like me. I smiled at how angel-like she was.

"Hey," I replied giving her a welcoming smile and giving Josh a 'what the hell are you doing here?' stare.

I gestured for them both to come inside and sit in the living room. "I like your house." Lily quietly started. I picked jet up and rested her on my hip before whispering in her ear, "Thanks." She let out a small giggle before getting comfy on the sofa.

As quick as possible, I harshly grabbed Josh's wrist and pulled him into the kitchen, shying the for behind us. I knew Lily was busy watching TV, so she wouldn't realise.

"What are you doing here?" I whisper screamed at Joshua. He looked at me with no expression whatsoever on his face.
"Mum's working overnight. Told me to stay here with Lily. Simple as." He replied casually.

Was he actually seriously coming to my house this late without any notice?

"Well, I didn't say if I was busy or not. You could've at least called!" I grumbled. He seriously didn't care- at all.

His face was as expressionless as a dead human. "Well, If I did call then you wouldn't have picked up or you would've said you were busy when your not." He mimicked.

I rolled my eyes and fold my arms to show my irritation to Josh. I couldn't send them out of my house, not this late, because that would look really bad. I gestured for Josh to go to the living room, which he did.

I decided on running upstairs to get some blankets and pillows so that Lily could be comfy. Forget Joshua.

As soon as I headed downstairs, into the living room, Josh was no where to be seen. I slowly sat next to Lily to give her the pillows and blankets, but she was already fast asleep.

Did Josh leave me here with Lily?

I quickly snapped my head towards the kitchen as loud banging sounds were coming from there. I grabbed the umbrella, that was next to the stairs, and clutched it as if it was a weapon as worthy as a dagger. I creeped up from behind the kitchen door frame to find Mr Joshua rummaging through the kitchen cabinets.

"Josh! Lily's sleeping!" I whisper shouted at him so Lily wouldn't wake up. He rolled his eyes as if I were dumb and took a step closer. "I know she's sleeping, but I also know she will wake up and scream for something to eat." he took another step closer, merely one foot away from me.

I didn't know what to say so I just rolled my eyes again. His response to me rolling my eyes was taking another step closer. He looked directly into my eyes. I knew exactly what he was doing.
