Angel Next Door

Blackout

*A Week Later*

Your POV:
"We will be back in two weeks, unless something happens. There is food in the fridge and cabinets, there is money to buy something if you don't want anything here, umm....I know I'm forgetting something-toothbrush!"

My mom rushes past me to the bathroom in pursuit of a toothbrush, my parents are going to stay with my grandma for awhile to nurse her back to health. She called earlier this evening to let them know she's sick with the flu.

"Be good, we love you!"

Two arms shoot out the windows on either side as my parents head down the driveway.

*The Next Night*

"Geez how close is that thunder baby?"
"Right overhead." I jump a little as another clap booms right above my head.
"Wish you were here to snuggle with me." I wink at the screen.
"Me too. We would make a fort out of your blankets, I'd pull you close an-"

Signal Lost

"Oh freaking wonderful!" I scream as next the power flickers, then leaves me in complete darkness.

Well at least I avoided the conversation about Alex wearing my ring around his neck. I've yet figured a way to retrieve it back without actually having to be near him.

A snake-like shiver slithers through my body at the thought of being near him again.

I check my cell only to be disappointed that I have a whopping 10% battery charge.

Walking by my window I notice something odd; my neighbors lights are still on....and I know they don't have a generator. What the hell?

Shaking it off, I continue cautiously down the stairs towards the kitchen.

After searching through all the drawers, I finally discover one on the counter.

"Please have batteries please-yes!"

As a burst of lightening, lights up the kitchen something sparkly catches my eye. Training the flashlights beam in the direction of the sparkle, my body instantly goes numb, all breath whooshes from my body, the beam wiggles in my shaking jello-like hands.

Sitting alone on the counter; is my engagement ring.

Alex has been in my house.

I'm frozen in place just staring at the ring, as if looking away from it will somehow summon Alex to my side.

You need to move! Call the police-do something! My mind screams but my body refuses to listen.

My eyes find the will to take in my surroundings during another lightening flash.

That's when it hits me; the reason my power is out but my neighbors isn't......Alex cut off my power.

He could still be in the house for all I know.

In the blink of an eye I am up the stairs, phone in hand.

I'm right in the middle of dialing the police when a message pops up in my inbox.

New Message

Alex: "hello (Y/N), you look as beautiful as ever."

I pivot around, not breathing, not making a sound, searching the room for any indication of him there.

Ping

Alex: "awww sweetie it's ok. I'm here 😉"

The winking face emoji has never looked so sinister before smiling up at me as it does now.

I do the only thing that pops into my head;

New Text

To: Evan❤️
"Evan. Need police here ASAP. Alex in house."

I manage to hit send just as the battery completely dies. Silently I hope with everything in me that it sent.

Evan's POV:

Ping

Future Mrs.❤️: "Evan. Need police here ASAP. Alex in house."

I feel as though I've been dunked into a lake of ice water. Immediately my fingers dial my mom, who picks up in the middle of the fourth ring.

"Evan honey how are yo-"
"Mom call the police and send them to (Y/N)'s house right now! Please, something's wrong!"

My voice breaks halfway through.

"Alright honey I'm on it."

Shaky fingers dial (Y/N)'s number but it automatically goes to voicemail.

Oh god baby please, please be ok. I need you.

My phone vibrates in my hand, I snatch it to my ear without looking at the ID.

"Evan, I tried the police but can't get them. Also I was on my way to her house but due to the storm a huge tree is blocking the road. I'm not able to go any farther than our driveway son."

I let out a nervous breath, "ok mom thank you so much."
"Alright son I'm going to try again. I'll keep you updated as I get new information. I love you."
"I love you too mom. Thank you."

A/N: hey guys. Sorry I'm not updating a lot. I just got seasons 2, 3, and 4 of AHS so they are taking up a lot of my time lol. I'm going to try to update more though.
