Go To Sleep

Chapter 11

Violets point of view

The sun was setting. The darkness was closing in on the sky, making it a dark crimson. The officers name was Andy, he was a very nice man. Andy offered me a place to stay since being anywhere else was obviously not an option. It wasn't safe. This whole time, Jeff was looking for me and I didn't know. I stared at my reflection in Andy's bathroom mirror. My dark blue eyes stared back at me, watching my every small movement. I stared at my small figure until there was a knock on the door. I had a little panic attack and hid behind the cabinet were Andy stores his bathroom cleaning utilities. "Are you still in there Violet?" Andy's voice echoed through the door. I let out my breath and replied back to the man that looked almost identical to my father. "Y-yes!" I walked over to the door and twisted the handle, opening the door silently. "Sorry." I almost whispered while tucking a stray hair behind my ear.

"It's no big deal." Andy said putting his hands in his pockets and shrugging. He had taken off his uniform and put on casual clothes to roam around the house. A grey t-shirt that announced "The Rolling Stones", and baggy blue pants. His black hair was now messy and almost touching this broad shoulders. He looked almost at least 18. It reminded me of him... No! I shook my head violently, trying to remove the thought of Jeff completely, but failing miserably. His face is burned into my memory and there was no erasing his image from my brain. "Are you alright? You look kinda pale." Andy asks tilting his head to one side looking upset. "Yeah, I'm just, a bit tired." I lied. He nodded and gave a small grunt as he glanced at the clock.

"It's a bit late, you should rest for the night." He switches off the light from the bathroom and leads me to another room. He holds an arm out as I step in as in saying, "this is it." Looking to my left, there was a rather large window with white shudders. The bed was facing away from the window towards the door as its head was against the wall. Two dressers sat beside the bed. Both already had my belongings that I could save from the orphanage. The rest had to be left as "evidence" for the investigation. "Well I'll be leaving you now. Ill be right around the corner if you need me." He stretched out his arms up high and left the room with a small smile and wave as he headed to his room.

I felt like going after him but I didn't want to bother him more than I already have. Even though I really didn't want to be alone at the moment. I changed into my pink happy bunny pajama pants and climbed into the cool bed, removing my long-sleeved black shirt and tossing it at the foot of the bed. I switched off the light and sat on the edge, thinking about everything that had happened today. I shouldn't have acted all awkward towards Andy, It was just so weird to be around him now. Yesterday it was fine, but now it's different, I shouldn't even be calling him Andy anymore. After all, he adopted me, he's my "dad". I blushed heavily at the thought of having to call Andy dad, it would definitely take some getting used to. But I wasn't going to start right away, I have to learn more about this man first, I've only known him for two days. I sighed and pulled a little on a tank top I always wore under my clothes.

Silently, I opened "my" dresser and took out my iPod I almost NEVER use anymore and put in my headphones. I turned up the music to block out the wind that had picked up since I was changing. The gusts faded to nothing as I turned it up higher than halfway. The moonlight came in through the shudders which I left facing down. I looked out the window, and let the moon hover over me. I touched my choker, and thought about Jeff's face when he realized it was me. It looked as though he was about to hug me before the police came busting in looking for him. I realized what I was thinking and turned up my music some more until my ears hurt, but I didn't care, I wanted to block out everything right now. I kept listening to "In The End" by Black Veil Brides until finally, I closed my eyes long enough to fall asleep.
