My Neighbor Jordan Maron

Brutal

(Arin's POV)

I woke up in the living room at what I assumed was around one in the morning, it was extremely cold for our apartment but I thought not a thing of it. I was thirsty so I hoisted myself on to my feet and walked to the kitchen. It was a very peculiar feeling, it felt like someone or something was gazing at me and not even blinking. I opened the cabinet and got down a glass. While getting it down someone grabbed my waist, scaring the bejesus out of me making me gasp and drop the glass on the floor, it shattered. "Jordan, you scared me." I said hoping it was actually Jordan.

"Who's Jordan." this voice sent chills down my spine. It was deep and razor sharp. My mind instantly went blank knowing that it wasn't Jordan gripping tighter and tighter at my waist. It was way to low to be Sky's or Adam's. As me and the unknown human stood there in the silent, glass covered kitchen, with every hot breath of his on my neck I could only feel paralyzed in fear of what this man wanted or what he was going to do.

With millions of questions in my head I asked one trembling in fear, "Who are you?" My voice was raspy and I was holding back tears that were welling up in my throat.

"I'm your worst nightmare..." As he said that my heart I swear stopped beating, "The one that keeps you up at night, the one that if you had you would wake up with needing months of therapy to over come, the one that people dread falling asleep to, the one that people make up in their heads when they are sitting in pure black of the night. I am the one that will end your life. And who are you? You are just another pathetic victim." At that moment I started to sob. Where was Kaylee? Then I remembered that Kaylee was spending time with Sky at his house. She was all alone, besides the guy that would eventually kill me. Jordan was sleeping next door but if I screamed then she would be dusted even sooner.

"But why me?"

"Because you are an easy target. There is no one here to save you, I checked." The words 'I checked" made me think that what if Kaylee was here wold she have been killed?

"Can you jus-" 

"Shhhhhh..." he put a knife up to my neck. "No more questions." He put the knife to my side.

"Please don-" he shoved the knife in my side. I tried to scream but it was muffled by his hand that he covers my mouth with. He twisted his knife that was still in my side. My entire body was radiating because of the amount of pain it was going through. The blood was making a pool on the tile floor causing me to slip and fall on the glass covered floor. The man had duct-taped my mouth closed and my hands together, I didn't realize before because of the pain I was in. I was in unbearable pain. But what was to come was worse. He started slashing all of my sides, my legs, my arms, and my torso. But I was in to much pain to do anything but lay there and cry. He stepped over me and picked up my hands he propped me up on the lower cabinets so I was sitting straight up. He sat next to me. I didn't look at his face because I was to afraid. I felt his hot breath on my neck again. He plopped the pointy part of his knife into my leg I flinched because of the searing pain. He drug the blade up my leg cutting deep into it. He started chuckling. The man got up pushing me over onto my side with his boot. I crashed on the glassy floor. He walked out still chuckling.

The hours that passed were the most painful I have ever been through. At about nine AM Jordan walked in. 

"ARIN!" Jordan rushed over to help me. He peeled of the duct-tape, "What happened?!"

"A... Man... Came... He... Did... Thi-..." I lost a lot of blood and now we were just sitting in it.

"We are going to the hospital!" He drove fast in his grey Mercedes but about half way there I passed out.

(Jordan's POV)

Arin was in getting stitched up for about 4 hours. I was just pacing back and fourth the entire time hoping she was alright.

"Mr. Maron? Miss Castello wants to see you." A nurse tapped on my shoulder politly. I nodded and headed into he room.

"Hi Arin. I'm glad you made it." I sighed in relief.

"You were the one that kept me from dying."

"I took you to the hospital. Yea that's important but you stayed awake for those hours."

"I kept thinking about you during those hours. Saying to myself that Jordan would want to know what was going on." She smiled poking me. She was happy to see me. I was overjoyed to see her.

"That's nice." I hopped on her bed.

"I'm tired." she sighed.

"Me too." We both fell asleep and didn't wake up for the remainder of the day.
