Chapter 2

I stood there, paralyzed with fright, when suddenly, a tall mascular figure stood up and looked at me in horror. I immediately screamed, he tried to put his hands on my mouth to make me shut up but I was far too strong that I scrapted his hands with my nails.
"Stay calm please, I don't mean to hurt you I swear" He said with the most relaxing tone my ears have ever witnessed.
"Who are you? And what the heck are you doing in my backyard?" I said, eyes filled with curiousty, and horror, if you might say.
"I'm Nick" He said and smirked at me, causing me to roll my eyes.
"Nick who? Look, get out of here now or I'm calling the police, fine?" I replied, and walked away, that's when he started grabbing my arms, making me stop for a minute.
" Please just listen, I need your help"
"Bruh" I murmured, as I took him inside the house to listen to whatever he has to say.
~~~~
We walked into the house, and Goldie didn't stop barking. Of course he has to bark, there's a freaking stranger inside my house and he can basically kill me now. I don't want to die though, I still have more pizza to eat. Lol I'm sorry.. baack to our point.
That Nick guy sat on my couch, he was pretty hot to be honest, he'd kill me and I'd feel honoured. He had curly brown hair that flowed perfectly over the top of his face, and stunning light brown eyes that drove me insane. He was quite musclar, well-built and had sharp bones. His jawline, dayuummm, it was razor sharp, he can cut me in a half with them. How to be cute and hot at the same time: You have to be Nick to do that.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Okay, what brought you here?" I said, breaking this awkward silence.
"Um, I ran away?" He replied.
"So you basically decided to hide in a stranger's backyard? Have you ever heard about stranger danger?"
" Absolutely not, and I think you didn't hear about it either. You welcomed a stranger inside your house. What if I bring a knife out of my pocket right now and tear you to pieces? That'd be pretty cool" He said, and I giggled. Why the heck did I just giggle? HE'S MAKING FUN OF YOU ZOEY, PUT YOUR SHIT TOGETHER.
"Not funny. Why did you run away?" I whispered, but I think it was louder than I expected. I noticed that my question gave him some nostalgic feelings. Avoiding my gaze, he turned away and his face showed sorrow and pain. "Sorry about-"
"No no, it's okay.. I'd just rather not talk about it right now" He interrupted me, with a soft smile.
"Okay, you can stay here if you want... I have a guest's room that you can stay in" I offered, and he looked amazingly pleased.
" Thank you so much, I promise I won't stay here for long" He responded. What do you mean you won't stay here for long? This is like ...the opposite of what I want.
Wait, I just met him. I shouldn't be thinking this way, chill Zoey, chill.
~~~~~~~~~~
We remained silent for like.. some good 5 minutes. Then I noticed that he was touching his hands, aw, it was because of how I scrapted it earlier. He caught me staring and started flexing his hands, trying to seem more manlier. Dumb.

" I'm sorry for hurting your hands, I was horrified to be honest... Um maybe I can bring some band aids and heal it for you or something..."
"It's okay, I understand.. yeah maybe.. um, thanks"
Heading to the bathroom, I brought the band aids and some cotton and started healing his wounds.. I felt so sorry for him.
But like, can we talk about how nice his hands feel like. They're so soft and just...UGH, I'm honestly starting to shiver..
"Here you go!" I told him, as I placed the band aid over his bleeding hands.
"I can't thank you enough... It's so sweet of you" He responded, which resulted in me blushing... Can he stop it?
~~~~~~~~~~~
I took Nick to the guest's room, and gave him some blankets to stay warm. I also offered to bring him dinner, but he refused and decided to sleep for a while. I noticed some bruises on his face when he turned away, and this kept me awake the whole night. Poor Nick.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't know if I should be doing this or not, but something inside me keeps telling me I have to save him. There's a hole inside me, I feel it whenever I look at Nick. It's like, there's something about him that doesn't make me want to let go...
I wonder what happened to him, why he ran away, what this cheeky smile is hiding, how many secrets he has. He was a mystery.. and I so wanted to explore him.
