Britney's P.O.V
***************
I walked inside the dark house and hit the door behind me. I leaned back against it and let out a deep breath that I had been holding in since I got inside that car.
What just happened?
I felt so confused, I didn't know what do. This boy had just saved me from being raped and in less than a second he had gone cold.
He was so angry when he walked in, he had so much emotion. When Cole left he was was a completely different person. His eyes were emotionless, his voice was blunt, his actions were short and subtle, I didnt understand it.
I looked down at myself and realized how much of a mess I must look like. I pushed myself off the door and made my way slowly up the stairs in the dark.
Once I reached the top of the stairs I walked into the bathroom and stripped out of my clothes as quick as I could.
I tossed my torn tank top in the trash without looking at it.
I turned the shower handle and watched the water fall, waiting until I saw steam rising from it.
I stepped into the shower slowly and let the water flow over me. If it could wash away this night I would stay right here, standing under the water and let it wash it away. My hands were a shaking mess despite the warmth of the water, I tucked them under my chin and closed my eyes attempting to calm my self down.
Once I closed my eyes, his face flooded back into my mind.
His green eyes, his ruffled hair, his tall frame. Everything about him came to mind piece by piece.
I couldn't understand how he was so bipolar.
He had just saved me from Cole and then he was ignoring me. I just couldn't get that through my head to make sense.
I wanted to talk to him, just to find out what his deal was. Thats all I wanted, but every time he was around I would get that tingling feeling down my spine, the one you get when you're watching a horror movie and you know something bad is going to happen.
God I was so confused, and I used to think high school was confusing.
I looked down at my hands and saw my fingers starting to look like wrinkled prunes. I must've been zoned out in the shower longer than I thought.
I leaned over and turned the handle shutting the water off. Just when I did I heard the front door shut.
A little louder than usual.
I furrowed my eyebrows and stepped out from the shower and wrapped myself in my towel.
Opening the door, I held the top of my towel and poked my head out looking around the dark hallway.
"Nia?" I called out waiting for a response.
Nothing.
I frowned slightly and left the bathroom light on, it being the only thing lighting up at least part of the hallway.
Note to self: buy more lamps.
I quietly tiptoed down the hallway, nervously looking all around the entire way.
Once I was standing at the top of the steps I looked down at the living room looking for any sign of Nia.
I couldn't see her keys, and we purse wasn't on the hanger. Maybe she hadn't put it down yet.
"Nia, is that you?" I called again, louder this time incase she was in the kitchen.
Still I heard nothing.
