I enter my bathroom and to my surprise I see my bathtub filled with... roses, and they were surrounded by candles that beautifully lit up.

It was beautiful but I'm not stupid enough to stay here. NO!... Oh no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not staying here anymore. This is crazy!

I leave the bathroom and head downstairs in so much speed that I could feel the wind attacking my hair. I grab my car keys along with my phone and leave my house. I sit in my car and start driving.

------------------------------

I stand on the door step and ring the bell. Waiting impatiently for an answer, I look around to make sure no one was watching me. After countless times of me ringing the bell, the door finally opens.

"Oh thank god, you finally opened the door. I'm so sorry for disturbing you at this time."

« Hi Alia, um ... It's alright, I guess. Sorry I took time, I was uh... working out.» said Jayce with visible sweat on his face and bare chest. «What happened, why are you here, is everything ok?" he asked.

« NO, NOTHING IS OK!! » I yell as I get in his house.

« Well, can you ''elaborate'' ...? » he asked once again.

Right in that moment, my whole crazy story almost slipped out my mouth before I realized what I was going to do. I hesitated. Should I tell Jayce? Will he try to help me? Will that put his life at risk? The answer to my last question was definitely a yes considering the psychopath that's after me.

But what now...? I need to answer him with something convincing. I can't just say nothing now.  He'll think something's up.

«Um... Well... I was... SCARED,.. yes, I was scared.» I said, with the first reason that popped in my mind.

«Of...?» Jayce asked, with a confused yet worried expression.

I thought once again. What do I say ?
« Since mom left and Amina died. I'm just paranoid. I can't sleep without thinking of the worst you know... I didn't want to be alone.» I say.

Jayce smiles and says «Oh, it's ok. Your welcomed here anytime.»

«Thanks.»

The rest of the night passed away slow. Jayce told me to go to sleep in his sister's room who had sadly died a few years ago in a car accident. His parents were out as usual, cheating on one another and not coming back for days. Jayce had given up on them. He to didn't care about them. He told me that he wouldn't be surprised if they never came back, nonetheless it didn't matter to him. He had gotten used being alone at home and making school his first priority.

The whole night thoughts about this mysterious person kept crossing my head and depriving me from sleep. Who knows how many hours I spent with my eyes closed and consciousness awaken.

Hopeless, I got up to try to find something to do. I decided to get water. If I can't sleep, I can at least stay hydrated.

After drinking water, as I was heading back to "my" room but I payed close attention to everything around, trying to kill time.

Paf! «Ouch!» I semi yell-whisper. My clumsy ass had once again shown it's presence. I hit a half open drawer with my hip. Jayce had probably forgotten to close it. Curiosity got the best of me. I opened it all the way and to my surprise I saw... MY PICTURE!

«Whats with the noise ?» I turn around and see Jayce with a baseball bat in his hands, probably ready to defend in case of an attack.

I raise my hand with the picture in it and say «Explain to me how you have this...»

It was then that he looked worried....

________________________________

Ok so this chapter was on hold for months. I stopped writing half a year ago thinking that no one wanted to read my work. And honestly, after loosing motivation, I had also completely forgotten about Wattpad.

About a week ago, after logging back in, I noticed that I had over 450 notifications, many of them DMs about continuing my book.

So here it is, i have some motivation back and i might even start updating regularly but I can't make any promises because I am busy with school.

I hope y'all enjoyed this very late update
