Close Your Eyes

Brick By Boring Brick

I ran through the door, trying to slam it shut behind me as I tripped over the rug.
I got up as quickly as I could, stumbling along the way and ran into the nearest room, shutting the door behind me. I grabbed the rocking chair that was next to me and jammed it under the door knob just as I heard the man banging on the door. I backed away from it until the back of my knees hit the window sill, causing them to buckle and sending me through the window. I felt the pieces of glass scratch at my skin and tear through my clothes, trying to pierce me. I screamed as I fell for what seemed like forever, the window looking miles and miles away the farther I fell.

I sat up quickly in a cold sweat, panting hard and looked to my right. I sighed quietly as I saw Zayn sleeping peacefully.

I wiped my forehead and ran my fingers through my hair.

"It was just a dream, it was only a dream" I said out loud as I laid back down and curled up next to Zayn, watching him sleep.

I looked in the doorway and tensed up.

"Z-zayn..." I whispered quietly to him, my eyes not leaving the doorway.

My fingers cinched around his waist tighter as I tried to shake him awake.

"Zayn! There's someone in the doorway!" I cried out as he shot up and looked at me.

Slowly, he reached over and turn the bedroom light on. We both looked at the door and he sighed quietly.

"It's just the coat rack ari.." He breathed out while rubbing the sleep from his eyes. I breathed out heavily, not even realizing I had been holding my breath.

"I'm sorry" I sighed while rubbing my face. "I just had a really bad dream and with everything that's been happening lately..." I trailed off.

He reached over and hugged me while nuzzling his face in my neck. I held onto his arms and tried to relax, my breath still coming out in ragged intervals.

"Zayn you're getting it on my face" I mumbled while trying to stay perfectly still.

"Then quit talking" he said back while focusing his eyes on the lipstick he was attempting to put on my lips. He put the cap back on and set it on the counter.

"What are we doing today?" I questioned, hoping that it wasn't going to be another drug run because of what happened yesterday.

He just shrugged and fixed his hair in the mirror while I watched him from my seat on the counter.

"What do you want to do?" He said, glancing quickly at me then back at himself in the mirror.

I shrugged a little.

"Hmmm.." He dragged out the mm sound and wiggled his eyebrows at me.

I smacked his butt.

"We're not doing THAT all day."

He laughed and kissed my head then walked out, me following right behind him, we went into the front room and sat on the couch.

Just as his arm found its way over my shoulders something broke through the front window, earning a scream from me and a clumsy trip from Zayn.

He shot up from the floor where he had previously been sprawled out and grabbed the book that had been thrown through the window attached to a thick red brick with duct tape.

We looked at each other, fear  apparent in both our eyes as he read the note attached;
