He's Psychopathic

Chapter 9

Kaleb's P.O.V

I sat in my bed waiting on Cassidy to pick me up so we can do the homework together. I was rocking back and forth with my arms wrapped around my leg and my head on my knees. It just felt so real again. I felt just as weak and just has scared. Just like before.

Flashback

After he dragged my mother back down the stairs I ran to my room and locked the door. I've never been so frightened in my life.  I could hear the muffled shouting downstairs and sounds of cries.  I began rocking faster than before. I covered my ears in order to block out the sounds. When the shouting stops. And I stopped rocking.I listened tentatively and heard nothing. I crawled from the bed and walked slowly towards the door and has I neared the door I heard footsteps running up the stairs.  I ran back to my bed and covered my ears has the footsteps neared.

I was still in the daze of my memory when I heard knocking.  I rocked even faster and covered my ears. He's coming I told myself.  My breath was closing in and my heart was beating really fast .The knocking continues and I was growing more and more afraid.  It's not possible he could have never found me.  I listened again for the knocking but only hear the faint sound of my name.  I was confused.  He didn't know my name which meant he was the one knocking. I crept out of bed and walked slowly and quietly to the door and stood a the door and listened.  I heard talking but I didn't recognize the voice. I slowly turn the knob on the door and peeped out. I sighed when I saw that it was only Cassidy. My heart was still beating fast and my breathing was heavy.  I looked at her but her back was turned.  I cleared my throat in other to gain her attention. She turned around and smiled but when she saw me her smile fell.
"Oh my god Kaleb. You look like you just finish a 5k run or something ."She says.  I just look at her I'm breathing too heavy to answer her.

"What did you take a shower in your clothes ?" She asks.

I catch my breath and tires to answer her before she ask me a thousand question,"No....I'll be back .....give me....a....minute". I closed the door before she had a chance to answer me.  I walked to the bathroom and took a quick shower.  I got out and pull on a sweatpants and T-shirt and a shoe.  I took up my bag and my keys and walked out,closing the door behind me.I gestured to Cassidy to lead the way and she just looked at me. 

"What?" I ask

"You took forever to get ready and you boys says girls take long. Thats bullshit." She says in a whining tone .

"I did not and now you see how we feel eh."

"Yes you did and thats not gentleman like."

"I took like ten minutes."

"Ten ?", she says and scoffed,"more like half an hour".

"Your exaggerating."

"Whatever". She walked past me and I continue to follow behind.

************************************

I am walking up the path way towards Cassidy's door. She was in front of me. I looked at my surroundings and the garden looked beautiful and neatly done. I heard Cassidy muttering something to herself and she walked towards the back and came back with a key in her hand and opened the door.  She gestured for me to enter and I did.  Inside her home looked homey.  She walks to the left and I followed immediately I saw that it was the kitchen. She opened the cupboard and asked what I wanted and told her I wanted a cheese ruffles.  She throw it at me and it hit me in the face and fell.

"How lady like ." I say sarcastically. She laughed while walking past me and I bend down to pick up the snack off the floor.  I looked up still in a kneeling position and looked at Cassidy she was walking up the stairs. And thats when I looked at her ass. She has a very nice ass. I took up the snack and hurriedly walk up the stairs.  We pasted a White door I'm guessing probably is her parents' room and then we came to a  black door.I thought it was hers but we pasted and we stopped at a door painted purple. How girly.. She peeked in and mutter something before entering and inviting me in afterwards. I was expecting to see posters of possible celebrity crushes and or band members;but instead all I saw was paintings.  I was shocked.  The walls were beautifully painted.  She had drawings all over.  The different colours on the paintings were extravagant. My eyes caught a very specific painting and I dropped my bag on the floor and walked towards it.  It was a drawing of flowers which seemingly to form out letters.  I turned my head trying to see it at a different point of view but I still couldn't figure what it was. I use my fingers to trace the painting just see if its real. I couldn't believe my eyes. I heard Cassidy muttering something and I draw my attention to her.

"Pardon me ?" I say

"Beautiful isn't it ?" She ask

"Yeah..." I trailed off once again lost in the painting.It was beautiful. I felt like to take the painting home. 

"I didn't knew you could draw like this." I say still tracing the painting.

"Well yeah. I can do something other than being annoying Kaleb." She says cheekily.

I wa still trying to figure out what fha flowers spelt out and it was getting more and eager to know.  I turn towards Cassidy and saw her looking me.

"What does the flowers forms. ? What word ?" I asks

She smiles,before answering"John".

John ? I looked back at it trying to pin point the J first.  I still couldn't find it.

"You won't see it unless I show you.  It's hidden between the flowers and vines." She says by this she was beside me and had her hand tracing the painting. I followed her finger and saw where the J was formed out. I was overwhelmed. I couldn't believe that I'd see something so amazing in my life.I looked at her and she looked lost in a world while having her hand tracing the rest of the painting.

"Had anyone seen this ?" I asks her. She shakes her and her eyes drifted to the floor.  I noticed the sudden mood change.

"Why not ?" I asks again.

"Nothing. I just rather keeping them to myself." She says and walked towards the bed. I looked back at the painting.

"Can I take a picture of it though if you don't mind ?"

She smiles before answering," Well you'll have to answer one question honestly first."

"And that is ?"

"What's your favorite colour?"

"I don't have a favourite colour. I believe all colours are beautiful and unique in its own way. They all signify something and have its own meaning. I like all of them."

I look at her nd she wa smiling and she shakes her head and told me to take the picture. I checked my pocket and walked towards my bag to check if my phone was in there to my dismay it wasn't.

"Thanks. But I left my phone so I'll have to come back to take the picture."

"You don't have to. Let me take the picture and I'll send it to your phone."

"I haven't caught my number has yet".

"Oh. Okay then. Well next time"

"Yeah. Let's do the work before it gets late ."
I walked back towards her and I was wondering who was John. Was he a ex-boyfriend or something. Probably her brother. I took one last glance at the painting and sighed. I am sad to take my attention away from the beautiful painting. It was the best I've seen. All the colours fused perfectly together
It was beyond amazing.
