Until Her Last Breath

Chapter 6:

Gianna's POV
I woke up to soft crying, and the clock read 5am. Looking next to me, I woke
up Tess. We ran to Hailey's bed to see she was having a nightmare.

"Hailey!! Wake up!" We shook her.

"Hailey listen to us, it's only a dream. You are okay now. You are safe here."

As she started to wake up we let out a breath we didn't know we were holding
in. It was almost 5:30 so we decided to stay up with her. We started getting our clothes ready for the day, and we had to go in early to sign Hailey in anyway.

When we finished getting ready, Tess went with Hailey to the office while I
stayed back in the room to make sure we didn't forget anything. The whole time one thing kept running through my head: "You are safe here." I basically lied to her. I ran to the closet and pulled out my jacket. In the pocket, right where I left it, was the letter from Jake. As I kept reading it, I came to the conclusion that we can never leave her anywhere alone. But in order to make sure that happens, I need to tell Tess about the letter.

Hailey's POV
As Tess walked with me through the halls, I felt as if someone was following
us. I kept looking behind me, but no one was there. It was almost too deserted, although it was only 6am and classes started at 7:40.

"Do you feel that? Like someone else is following us?" I asked Tess.
"It is kind of creepy, with no one here yet."
"Let's just hurry up and get to check-in so we can go back to our dorm," I
concluded.

We practically raced down the halls when we heard laughter behind us.
Turning around after we reached the end, we found the principal talking with a student.

"Oh my god, I thought we were going to die," Tess exaggerated.
"I never want to feel that again," I breathed out.

"Hi girls!" The principal said, too cheery at this time in the morning.
"Hi, we were just going to see you for check-in. My mom registered me last week," I explained after I caught my breath.
"Oh, yes. Hailey right?"
"That's me!" I said with a smile.
"Indeed, follow me. This is another new student of ours. His name is Brandon, and I'm sure you will all get along great!"

Something about Brandon bothered me, but I brushed it off as Tess pulled
me behind them.

Tess's POV
We signed Hailey in and walked with Brandon back to our dorms. He was in
the boys' dorm next to ours, so we decided to meet up for lunch after classes. We walked in and Gianna jumped in her seat. I guess she was zoning out because we seemed to have scared her a little.

"Haaaha, you okay Gi?" Hailey asked while she was hysterical.
"Oh my god you guys! You scared the shizz out of me! Did you even knock?"
"Well you know, it is our dorm too. We don't have to knock. And the door
was unlocked anyway. You should really lock it next time," I pointed out.
"I thought I did.. Oh well. Here are your books!" Gianna dropped a gigantic
backpack into each of our arms.
"Jesus, how many classes did you pack for?!"
"This is just until lunch..." Gianna trailed off unhappily.
"Ugh, let's just go," Hailey said defeated.

Brandon's POV
Great. This is perfect. I met her already! This was a lot easier than I
thought! All I needed was a new haircut and color, and a new name.
