New Roomate

Never trust the quiet ones

"Click"
I hear the sound of a bullet clicking into place. "This is your last time sugar pie, you know I don't play games." The male voice shivered me to my core, I was hiding in my closet peering out through the middle crack where the doors met. "I'll teach you to never open your damned mouth again about what I do to you!" I glance down at my arms that are wrapped around my shoulders and realize they're full of bruises and cuts. He is walking around shuffling through my books and jewelry when he suddenly stops. My heart dropped through my butt when he said

"darling? You know I'm the one who killed your parents, right?"

No, my parents are on vacation, they're alive, he doesn't know what he's talking about, he has the wrong people! With his thick country accent he states

"I know your in that closet, ya ever seen horror movies before bitch?"

With that the closet door swung open and I was slung over his shoulder. I shrieked and started to kick and puck his figure, he sets me down and puts his hands on my arms and shakes me.

"Wake up! Erin! Wake up!"

I look confused at the male, his face is blurred out but his mouth is moving and I can hear Sam and Colby's voice coming from his lips. I quickly open my eyes and gasp for air to find two concerned and worried guys holding onto me. Sam and Colby.

"You alright Erin?" Sam asks in a calming voice sitting in front of me as he drawls me in cupping the back of my head. I wrap my arms around his waist for support and Colby kneels on the side of the bed rubbing my back. "What happened? You were yelling profusely!" Colby looks at me with slight curiosity dancing in his gorgeous eyes. I release Sam and tell them about my nightmare.

"I have to call my parents" I swiftly grab my phone and dial my dad's number, it rings three times then he picks up. I sigh a big breath I didn't know I was holding and ask if he and mom are ok, thankfully they were in their room watching a movie. "Thanks for telling me you got there" I tell him sarcastically. We chat for a while longer and then we hang up, during my conversation Sam and Colby left the room.... great, I'm alone, in a dimly light room, I look around the room to find Colby standing in the doorway.

"Want me to hang with you until you feel better? I mean it's cool if you don't want me to, I mean you might need your space and-"

I cut him off and smile at him "yeah, that'd be nice" he returns the smile and confidently walks over to me and lays down on my queen sized bed.

"Sam asleep?"

"Yeah, he didn't get any sleep earlier tonight because we were too loud"

I blush as the memory creeps back of Colby attempting to kiss me. "Oh right" I say shyly. We talk for a while longer and eventually my eyelids get heavy and I close my eyes feeling a comfortable set of warm arms scoop me up. Everything goes black.

I wake up to the sound of my alarm that read the same message for school. I groan in frustration and I feel something moving from under me. I quietly gasp and look over to find a shirtless Colby rubbing his eyes, I giggle and turn my phone alarm off. Throwing the covers off me I wiggle to the end of the bed when something grabs my arm and pulls me back a little. I get closer the Colby and he puts a hand in my waist and hauls my up to his face.

"Yes?" I say with slight annoyance. Our faces are inches apart and his eyes are dancing around from my lips to eyes and back.

"Just wondering why you get up at 6am when school starts at 9?" He slowly removes his hand from my waists which has somehow traveled to the small of my back.
