You Saved Me

The Man With Blue Eyes

My alarm clock emits the most annoying sound in the entire universe. Especially early in the morning. My eyes fluttered open and quickly darted around my dark room. The early morning shadow cascaded an erie shadow across my walls. I slowly slid out of my warm cuccoon of blankets and stretched feeling every mussle slowly relax. I stood up and opened my curtains. That car! The same car from last night! Sitting directly outside my house! A young guy sat in the front seat staring directly at my window with piercing blue eyes. I quickly shut my curtains. Its ok I tell myself over and over again. Its just a coincidence. Its just a coincidence. I sighed and walked out of my bedroom. The hallway was dark and ofcourse I tripped on a table leg. My clumsy sides wag of saying goodmorning. I stumbled into the kitchen and saw my normal note on the counter.

"Didnt get to see you last night sorry. Ill be home at 10 tonight. Another double shift. This job will be the death of me.

Love you Sweetie

-Mom"

"Goodmorning Mom" I mutter this would be the closest I get to talking to her forreal. She works rediculous hours doing anything and everything that needs to be done at the local hospital. The money is good but she never has time to spend it so why bother. I have been virtualy forced to raise myself since I was eleven. She comes home sleeps and gets up way before me. Today I woke up at 6 just to see if I could catch her. But apparently I wasnt early enough, like usual. I opened a poptart and sat at the bar. I flippped through the weather on the laptop 30 all week. Great. I hate winter. Then I hear a knock at the door. My heart froze cold. Images of the stalker from last night and the car outside my house raced throuh my mind. I swallowed hard closing the laptop and sliding off the bar stool. I peek through a slightly cracked curtain and to see the same young man that was in the car standing in my doorway. I quickly closed my curtain and smoothed my shirt. I grabbed a tiny bottle of mace off the counter. Holding the mace behind my back I cracked open the door. "C..can I help you?" I stuttered through the crack slightly opening the door more. He looked at me with piercing blue eyes. "Hi my names Xavier." he said in one of the deepest voices I have ever heard. "Im looking for someone named Shay? He looked directly in my eyes. My stomach dropped. How did he know my name. "I.. Im sorry but you have the wrong house." I said shutting the door. He out his foot in the doorway preventing it from latching. He pushed the door causing me to fsll backwards. He stood over me evily. I swung the Mace from behind my back and sprayed him. He kicked the small can out of my hand. "I dont think I have the wrong house Shay." He said with a smirk. I looked at him with horror he wuickly placed a small cloth over my mouth as I kicked at him I was no match for his stregnth im 5'1 he had to have been 6'2 and muscular. "Please dont...Kill me." Then I blacked out.
