I stared at the fireplace in front of me. My book laid in my lap waiting to be read. I was hiding from the storm outside and waiting for my dad to return from the store.  He was all I had really.  I didn't have friends or money.  I lived in a small town where everyone knew everything about everyone.  And the most eligible bachelor in town wanted me.  Apparently he was gay too and I was pretty.  That's nice.  Theres a million pretty men out there.  I'd like to be more than just pretty.  I opened up the book that I'd read a million times already.  I always had this creepy feeling someone was watching me but, I knew no one was.  Especially around this time.  I always felt it around this time.  I stared at the page unable to focus.  I stood up wrapped my blanket around my shoulders and decided to just attempt to watch TV for a while.  But then, the stupid power went out.  I sighed in annoyance.  Well, I could either stay in a dark house with no heat or take a walk in the rain.  I stared outside.  It didn't look so bad.  I grabbed my jacket and stalked outside in the freezing cold rain.
