I yawn slightly opening my eyes to a new surrounding than I'm not used to waking up to. Also, I look to see Ellington has his arm wrapped around my waist as he's sleeping still.

HE HAS HIS ARM AROUND MY WAIST!!!

.. I'm overthinking this.

I carefully move his arm off of me, not waking him up one bit. I turn over to face his sleeping face. He looks so peaceful when he's sleeping.

I bite my lip nervously before putting a finger barely on the surface of his lips. They're so soft under my fingertips, almost as if they're the perfect lips God has created in the existence of humanity.

"Why can't you see that I like you?" I whisper quietly with my finger rubbing his bottom lip. I could just kiss him right now.

But I can't.

And I won't.

I get out of his bed leaving him with the company of his bed. Ugh, why did it feel so right sleeping in his bed.. With him?

I dismiss the thought as I open his door quietly. It must be early because no one else is awake and the sun is barely up. I tiptoe across his house in my foot pajamas.

I want food.

Maybe he has toast or a bagel in his kitchen. Or just a snack in general.

I go into his kitchen and open a cabinet. I'll just have some cereal and then wash the dishes afterwards. Sounds like a good plan. I get a pink bowl and set it on the island with a spoon.

I open his fridge to see there's about a thousand bottles of beer in the fridge. Does his mom drink? She can't. She's a recovered person from drugs and alcohol. I dismiss the thought and grab a carton of milk accidentally knocking over a beer bottle.

I hear it smash into a billion pieces on the ground and I bite my lip. Maybe no one heard that? I hope.

I sit the carton of milk on the counter and bend down to pick up the pieces of glass. It isn't very safe to pick up glass with your bare hands but I'll risk it. I get a handful of the glass and stand back up to put it in the trash when someone grabs my throat making me jump.

"Who are you and why are you in my house?" A male voice booms into my ear. Oh my god, I'm going to stop breathing if he doesn't release his tight grip on my neck anytime soon. My voice sounds like a whisper when I reply.

"I-I'm Ry-y-del,"he seems to doesn't care about this because slowly I could feel his grip tighten. I find it harder to speak. "Ellington." Is all I manage to get out before I start struggling to breath. I put my hands on his trying to move them away from my neck so I can breath.

The guy pulls me towards a wall and grips my throat so tightly I start gasping for air. I'm going to die.

All because I just wanted to have a bowl of cereal.

When people read my cause of death, they'll see 'attacked in process of getting cereal'.

I bet Rocky will be glad to hear the news of that.

My eyes start watering and I look at the guy. I recognize him from a few pictures Cheryl has in the house. Is he Ellington's dad? If so, he doesn't look like Ellington.

He definitely doesn't like me.

His hand starts running up my waist causing me to go into full panic mode. Oh my god. Oh my god. I'm going to be raped by Ellington's dad.

That sounds so wrong in so many ways.

"P-pase let may g-go,"I'm fixing to pass out at this point. I could feel the lightness in my head. Ellington's dad stares at me for a few moments.

Then I hear it.

Footsteps.

I AM NOT GOING TO DIE FROM GETTING CEREAL!!

Also not getting raped by my friend's dad.. That's a plus.

He lets go of my throat and I fall to the floor holding my throat and coughing. I can breathe again. I look up to see a very confused Ellington standing in front of me. "Are you okay?" He asks and I nod slowly getting my breathing back to normal.

I look beside me.

His dad is gone.
